Chapter 1479: Chapter 1479: Pinning Hopes on Liu Banxia

"Teacher Liu, how’s it going? Got some extra dishes?"

When Liu Banxia came out from the office in the cardiovascular department, Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing gathered around.

"Got them, not just for today, but for tomorrow too." Liu Banxia said listlessly.

"Something seems off, what happened?" Xu Yino asked curiously.

"I got you those extra dishes at my own expense, it’s really not easy for me." Liu Banxia said.

"Hahaha, Teacher Liu, you’ve got this, you’ll definitely do it, go for it." Xu Yino, after a moment of surprise, said gleefully.

No need to think too much; Director Chen must’ve dragged Teacher Liu on stage. All that talk about building confidence and whatnot is nonsense.

Just thinking about it is exciting; Teacher Liu is a general surgeon, and now he has to handle big cardiovascular surgeries, it’s quite thrilling.

Liu Banxia gave them a helpless glance and then snuck back to his office.

They’re just a bunch of thoughtless kids, only thinking about food.

Opening the computer, he downloaded the email sent by Cheng Xuehai, and Liu Banxia felt quite overwhelmed.

This surgery is extremely complex, trying to understand it might need a good 30 to 50 Glory Points.

Fortunately, he doesn’t need to be responsible for too much, the main surgeon is Cheng Xuehai, he’s actually an assistant to the assistant.

However, these suturing tasks aren’t that simple. It’s a heart surgery, and it’s dealing with the tricky Tetralogy of Fallot.

He hasn’t encountered this before; if he needs to operate, there are many suturing skills he’ll have to employ.

There’s nothing much he can do but follow the materials Cheng Xuehai sent over and practice as he reads.

This is a habit he’s developed; this way, his memory becomes more profound. The downside is also quite apparent, there’s considerable consumption of Glory Points.

This is because he’s been gaining Glory Points more easily recently, otherwise he wouldn’t dare use them so carefree.

"What’s keeping you busy?"

While he was studying, Xu Hui came over.

"Looking at Old Chen’s surgery, I’ll be joining him later. There are places that might need suturing, and I might lend a hand." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Sigh, the patient who was admitted saw great improvement after dialysis." Xu Hui sighed.

"Isn’t that a good sign? Why are you sighing?" Liu Banxia asked.

"A good sign is a good sign, but the patient will still suffer in the future." Xu Hui said.

"Moreover, seeing the present situation, the patient’s personal wish seems to lean towards not accepting any treatment. Otherwise, his eldest son wouldn’t have taken the responsibility himself and faced blame."

Liu Banxia nodded, "Actually, I was thinking the same, but we should still respect their choice. Children’s thoughts and the patient’s thoughts are inherently different."

"We, as neutral third-parties, in this circumstance, can only respect the family’s choice. People’s thoughts always change, and maybe the patient doesn’t have the same thoughts as before now."

"Or perhaps, he’s forgotten his previous thoughts entirely. His eldest son might find it hard to explain, Alzheimer’s disease has this annoying aspect."

"Yeah, I talked to his eldest son for a bit, and that’s what he’s worried about too." Xu Hui said.

"So even if he went against his father’s wishes, he finally chose to agree. Deep down, he didn’t want to see his father pass away so early, even if there’s Alzheimer’s, at least they can still see him."

"But today’s situation, it really impacted me greatly. My mind’s been a bit uneasy, so I came over to chat with you."

"Wow, I’ve become the confidant guy now." Liu Banxia joked.

"You’re gilding yourself, aren’t you? You have two kids already, what kind of guy?" Xu Hui said with a laugh.

"Are you really going to help Director Chen? That surgery is quite something. Am I getting in the way of your study here?"

Liu Banxia waved his hand, "I’m just there to ’buy soy sauce.’ There will be obstetricians and ICU doctors invited into the operating room too."

"What can I do? Old Chen says stitch, I stitch. Anyway, suturing techniques are limited, this time it’s just about different positions."

"If there’s time in the afternoon, I’ll practice with some blood vessels and pig hearts, it should be enough. Moreover, I might not even be needed, we’ll see."

"That itself is impressive, others couldn’t do it. Okay, I won’t keep you, carry on with your study." Xu Hui said.

After speaking, he directly left Liu Banxia’s office.

If there wasn’t much else going on, he could chat with Liu Banxia more. He didn’t believe Cheng Xuehai brought Liu Banxia into the OR just as a figurehead, surely Liu Banxia was needed on stage.

This surgery is quite significant, even as an internal medicine doctor, he shouldn’t take up Liu Banxia’s precious time and disrupt his preparation.

Actually, for Liu Banxia, there’s plenty of time. Even if he doesn’t practice with blood vessels or pig hearts, it’s still okay.

But he can’t be too blatant about it; he has to do some things to divert attention.

Also, the suturing techniques involved in this surgery are too many and too difficult to grasp, so he doesn’t dare to just put everything on the table.

The morning passed by so quickly, and Chen Xuehai was full of sincerity, ensuring Liu Banxia was well taken care of at noon.

Even if he brought along a few freeloaders, it’s not a problem.

"How’s it going?"

Chen Xuehai asked.

"Not great, you know how difficult this surgery is. Even simple suturing isn’t that easy," Liu Banxia said.

"So, remember to make good use of Linlin at that time. I feel like I wouldn’t be much help, and might even hold you back during the surgery."

"Don’t talk nonsense, I don’t believe your nonsense." Chen Xuehai said.

"Linlin has indeed grown a lot, but her skills are still far off for this patient. I’m counting on you, weigh it yourself."

"Old Chen, be serious. You’re the lead surgeon, what are you counting on others for?" Liu Banxia said helplessly.

"I’m just there to stand around, you’re now shifting the pressure to me, who am I supposed to pass it to? Don’t get confused."

"Who else but you? I trust you, and I feel at ease," Chen Xuehai said.

"Liu Yiqing, tell me, if Director Liu were to be on stage with you, even if he were just watching, wouldn’t you feel assured?"

"Of course, with Teacher Liu here, there’s nothing to fear," Liu Yiqing said very frankly.

Liu Banxia gave her a helpless look, "Silly girl, how can it be the same? Usually, we do mostly abdominal surgeries. This time, I’m getting involved in a heart surgery, specifically a Tetralogy of Fallot."

"I’ve only read about it before, never seen it in practice. Now suddenly, such an important suturing task is thrown at me. How about you help Director Chen with the intracardiac reconstruction suturing?"

"Oh no, definitely not." Liu Yiqing shook her head like a rattle drum.

"See? My and Liu Yiqing’s feelings are exactly the same now." Liu Banxia said.

"Whatever you say is useless, anyway, you agreed to it. Just firmly carry it out, otherwise, it definitely won’t work," Chen Xuehai said with a smile.

"Manager Zhou, let them indulge freely today, on my meal card. You all work hard too, strive to be like Teacher Liu."

"Director Chen, rest assured, since Teacher Liu agreed, it’s definitely no problem," Xu Yino said with a smile, then looked at Zhou Qiang.

"Manager Zhou, serve the dishes according to our order. Anyway, Director Chen is picking up the tab, so I don’t feel a bit of heartache eating."

"What’s going on? What exactly did you all order?" Chen Xuehai became a bit worried.

It’s known that Xu Yino and Liu Banxia hang out rather unruly. If this girl goes wild, today’s meal card might shrink by half.

"Why are you so worried? They’re all dishes the girls love," Liu Banxia said with a laugh.

"They symbolically asked for our opinions, just didn’t accept any refutations. If I’m not mistaken, Linlin should also be in on it."

"Yeah, I want to eat snow cotton red bean today, and I also have to take a pack," Liang Xiaolin said with a smile.

"Seriously? I’m your real brother," Chen Xuehai said helplessly.

"What? Does it pain you to have an extra plate of snow cotton red bean? I’ll let the sister-in-law know," Liang Xiaolin glared at him.

What else could Chen Xuehai say? Just endure it. This sister should be even crazier than Xu Yino when she goes wild.

"Focus on it, even if you have to sleep less tonight, take a good look at the materials you sent, otherwise, I really have no confidence," Chen Xuehai said.

Liu Banxia nodded, "I wasn’t planning on doing anything else today but studying the stuff you sent. However, how much I can master, I can’t say for sure."

"So my thought is, let Linlin go first tomorrow, and when she gets tired, I’ll step in. For such a long surgery requiring such high tension, most people can’t sustain it."

"Alright, now I’m at ease. I worried so much for half a day." Chen Xuehai laughed.

This matter, it does seem a bit odd. But that’s how Chen Xuehai thinks, he’s already counting on Liu Banxia.

Under normal circumstances, he should be seeking Li Mingwu’s help. But he didn’t, because he didn’t want to drag Li Mingwu into this pit.

Moreover, he personally has great confidence in Liu Banxia. Having done many surgeries together, Liu Banxia’s speed and suturing quality are really impeccable.

Liu Banxia is also a jack-of-all-trades. Having him as a best substitute might lead to unexpectedly good results.
