Chapter 1482: Chapter 1482: Learning by Stealth

(Thanks to Yang for the encouragement of a monthly ticket)

"Xu Yino, how did this kid get in?"

Chen Zhenxing, who came to the observation room, noticed Liu Banxia was also there and felt a bit puzzled.

"Uh... it was Director Chen who invited Teacher Liu in. It seems he planned to have him work for free, but Teacher Liu managed not to fall for it and even got two meals out of it."

Xu Yino quickly said.

Chen Zhenxing nodded with a smile, "That’s very much in line with this kid’s style. He never passes up a free meal, loves to bum meals everywhere. But I heard from Linlin that your and Liu Yiqing’s ability to bum meals is no worse than his."

"Haha, we still have to keep working on it." Xu Yino laughed dryly twice.

He didn’t expect his recent meal-bumming escapades had even reached the ears of the Chief Director.

And the people standing by? Listening to their conversation, they were also quite moved.

It seemed that Xu Yino’s answers were a bit off-kilter, but he clearly explained why Liu Banxia entered the operating room. He also hinted that the two deputy directors of the emergency center have a solid relationship.

Chen Zhenxing was even more not easy to deal with; calling "kid" at every turn, he even mentioned Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing’s meal-bumming stories, proving he really paid a lot of attention to the emergency center.

"Alas... Chen Xuehai used to have a pretty steady personality. Now, having mixed with this kid, he’s become bolder." Chen Zhenxing sighed.

"Director, actually I don’t feel it’s a big deal. In Teacher Liu’s words, if Director Chen dares to take on this task, it represents that Director Chen has this confidence." Xu Yino said.

"Although I don’t really understand Director Chen’s surgical plan, the level of detail is indeed impeccable. Moreover, there are annotations behind every key operation, with contingency plans for possible situations."

"Anyway, Teacher Liu was troubled for quite some time after seeing it. The old man just felt that what he did was too rough. I used to think what I did was pretty good; now mine can’t even be called rough, more like weeds."

"Actually, in the past, Xuehai’s surgical records weren’t that detailed. He just often heard Banxia saying that the foundation is very important, so he felt the surgical plan is also a foundation." Chen Zhenxing said with a smile.

"You guys don’t need to worry now; you’re just starting out and don’t understand many surgeries well enough. Besides, you haven’t experienced many unexpected situations, so it’s inevitable to have some shortcomings."

"Even if your generation of newcomers is strong, we old-timers aren’t so easily knocked down. We have real skills."

"How could we dare think that way? Our current goal is just not to fall a huge distance behind Teacher Liu. As for surgeries in cardiothoracic and orthopedics, we don’t even dare think about it." Xu Yino said.

"Teacher Liu has been really put through his paces by us, and under Director Xu’s guidance, he has basically grasped some key points of hip replacement surgery."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Chen Zhenxing asked in surprise.

"I feel it should be about right. Anyway, Teacher Liu’s learning ability is terrifying. If he says so, I think there shouldn’t be any issues with routine hip replacements." Xu Yino said.

"Uh... please don’t say I said that, or Teacher Liu will give me a hard time. It’s really tough to deal with, especially when you can’t guard against it."

Chen Zhenxing was amused. Their mentor-mentee relationship, sometimes really is a little mysterious.

He didn’t continue chatting with Xu Yino and focused on the surgery below.

In fact, he was very worried inside; after all, the main surgeon now is Chen Xuehai, and the assistant is Liang Xiaolin.

His judgment was similar to Li Mingwu’s; taking on this surgery was really too risky. It should have been carefully evaluated before deciding whether to take it or not.

Admittedly, if this surgery succeeds, it could save two lives and accumulate a lot of experience. But you can’t just think about success—what if it fails?

Even though Liu Banxia is now in the limelight at the Second Hospital, Chen Xuehai isn’t inferior. He just doesn’t have as many antics as Liu Banxia, but his surgical skills are still well-regarded in Binhai City.

Liu Banxia’s advantage is in learning new things and filling gaps at the Second Hospital. Chen Xuehai’s advantage? A solid foundation. His experience studying abroad wasn’t just an expensive vacation.

Another reason is concern.

Concern leads to chaos. Even though he’s the Chief Director, he’s not immune to seeing those performing the surgery as irrelevant figures.

But for now, the surgery is going smoothly, which allows him to relax a bit.

However, this is just the beginning of the surgery; there are still many high-difficulty operations to come, and it won’t be easy.

The atmosphere in the operating room has been tense since the surgery started. If it were a usual surgery, Liu Banxia, given the current task, would surely be able to look around a bit.

This time is different; he’s focused entirely on observing Chen Xuehai’s operation.

Because he found another new issue, observing Chen Xuehai’s operation seemed more substantial than exploring in the dream space.

This is also a limitation of the dream space; even if it can provide unlimited time to practice, it all comes from his own thinking.

Although he’s watched related surgical videos, the feel of live operation is so much more different.

He feels this internship has also brought him a lot of gains, learning a lot.

During this period, especially after observing some pediatric surgeries, he really felt like he had the dream space in his hands, as if he ruled the world.

Even though he hasn’t performed many pediatric surgeries yet, he has the confidence that he can handle them.

Now he needs to reflect a bit, is there a big gap between being able to complete a surgery and performing it perfectly?

Just like today’s surgery, he saw Chen Xuehai’s detailed surgical plan and practiced multiple times in dream space. But compared to Chen Xuehai now, there’s still a noticeable gap.

Because each patient’s actual condition is different, even if the instruments can maximize the inspection, they can’t present it perfectly.

What is needed at this time? Experience.

Previously, he had some misunderstandings about this. He thought the operations in dream space could make up for his lack of experience.

It certainly helps to an extent, but compared to the actual outcome, it still falls short.

Even though this is cardiac surgery, not his primary general surgery specialty, he can still understand and learn new skills from many operations.

It’s basically learning by stealth, just that he’s doing it blatantly.

Precisely because of such discoveries and thoughts, he watches even more intently.

"Wipe the sweat."

Chen Xuehai said.

The nurse quickly wiped it for him.

"Director Liu, not coming up to operate for a while?" Chen Xuehai asked.

"I really can’t, there’s no time. I’m in a serious learning phase right now, so you all have to work hard." Liu Banxia spoke frankly.

But no one took his words seriously; they thought he was just joking around.

"Why can’t you be more serious? Didn’t you see how exhausted we are? Why don’t you consider taking over for us?" Chen Xuehai muttered.

"Sister Huang, do you think Director Chen is being a bit dramatic? It’s only just begun." Chen Xuehai said.

Huang Ying glanced at him with a smile, "You two bickering, don’t drag me into it. I also hope to just be a spectator, please don’t involve me."

"Ah...same wish, same goal. Director Chen, keep it up." Liu Banxia shouted.

Strangely, people watching in the observation room couldn’t help but feel amused. This is just Liu Banxia; others really couldn’t pull off such a thing.

However, when Liu Banxia does it, it doesn’t feel abrupt, just very fitting.

At least the few sentences he just said, while they sound like nonsense, they actually help ease the tense atmosphere of the operating room.

This is also considered Liu Banxia’s skill. Whether he is performing the surgery or participating in others’, he can always help lighten the mood.

"Chief Director, aren’t you going to scare Teacher Liu?"

Xu Yino asked, egging him on.

Chen Zhenxing looked at her helplessly, "If I scare him, I’ll have to pick up the tab for the next meal. This year’s meal card expenses are already more than what I spent in the past two years combined."

"Chief Director, or Director Chen could treat, isn’t it the same?" Xu Yino continued to egg him on.

"Didn’t you eat yesterday? How can today’s meal count?" Chen Zhenxing asked curiously.

"That’s all because of Teacher Liu. Anyway, if he wants to bum a meal, he always can. Qingqing and I really have to keep working hard." Xu Yino waved her fist.

Her conversation with Chen Zhenxing seemed a bit frivolous; a serious surgery was going on downstairs, yet she was thinking about scaring people and bumming meals.

But everyone wouldn’t feel annoyed. It’s a tradition passed down from Liu Banxia. Of the six under his tutelage, only Su Wenhao seemed "level-headed"; the other five were a bit mischievous.

"Ah..., I can’t see Teacher Liu getting scared. I need to go back and switch shifts." Xu Yino added in disappointment.

Many almost burst out laughing; she’s really bold.

It’s obvious, isn’t it? She just wants to see a "show" before leaving, and she doesn’t hesitate to drag the Chief Director into it.

But everyone still doesn’t find it abrupt or inappropriate.

The atmosphere in the emergency center’s general surgical department has always been this cheerful; even the inpatient department doctors have heard of it.

All that’s left is admiration; ordinary people really can’t master their skills.

The key is, even if you want to say these words, you might not be able to. But for them? It’s just something natural.
