"I figured it would be the two of you. So, who’s starting today?"

In the operating room, after the patient was anesthetized, Liu Banxia looked at Li Hao and Huang Bo and asked.

"Teacher Liu, aren’t we supposed to wait for your instructions? Anyway, we’re always ready," Li Hao said with a smile.

"No, let me interject, what do you mean by this? Don’t tell me Director Liu doesn’t even know who the assistant is," Li Liwei asked.

"I don’t feel like deciding anymore. Let them distribute it themselves and find their own timing," Liu Banxia said.

"They’re mature enough. They can handle such small matters. Moreover, once the hospital files the documents, they’ll be directly scheduled for the resident role, saving some time,"

"That’s certainly great news for them. There’s no issue with them taking on the resident role," Li Liwei nodded.

"What they’ve been doing usually is similar to a resident’s tasks, except it’s not as formally designated. Nothing much,"

"They’re just sly, playing a retreat to advance with me. You two go ahead," Liu Banxia said.

The two were delighted upon hearing this.

Liver surgeries aren’t as frequent as before; now, it’s focused on NOSES surgeries for colorectal cancer, so they urgently need additional training in this area.

Don’t think that succeeding in one partial liver resection means everything’s fine. No one has the conditions that Liu Banxia does; mastering surgical techniques truly requires thorough practice.

"How’s the recruitment for orthopedic doctors going?" Li Liwei asked.

"Although it’s not comparable to pediatrics and anesthesiology, meeting our standards is also somewhat challenging," Liu Banxia said.

"Orthopedic surgeries may look simple, but in reality, there are many techniques to master during the procedure,"

"We’ve received nine resumes so far, but none are ideal. Luckily, there’s still time, so we’ll slowly look. Let Old Chen worry about this,"

"I’ll participate in the assessments during interviews. However, I’ll also call Wu Mingyu to oversee as well,"

"I’m just joining the fun, knowing a bit about orthopedics. If it’s setting bones, I can manage it, but other things are genuinely complex to execute,"

"Teacher Liu, didn’t you say you were quite competent already?" Huang Bo asked.

"It’s not that easy. There’s a lot involved in orthopedic surgeries," Liu Banxia said.

"As I’ve said, numerous techniques are needed. It’s not just about major surgeries like joint replacements; even for a comminuted fracture internal fixation surgery, there’s a lot of knowledge involved,"

"Therefore, when you’re outside, don’t claim that I understand orthopedic surgeries, just that I know a bit. There’s still a large gap to truly understanding it,"

Huang Bo and Li Hao, in charge of the operation, nodded, aware that Liu Banxia wasn’t falsely modest. He was genuinely being straightforward.

This is also characteristic of Liu Banxia; he seldom exhibits pretentious behavior.

Even though the chat was casual, Liu Banxia’s eyes remained focused on the operations by Li Hao and Huang Bo, still quite satisfied.

After this period of learning basic surgeries, they haven’t neglected what they’ve learned. It’s an achievement since their work is quite busy now.

However, they will face more challenges ahead, namely the resident role.

Once the appointments are officially issued, their time will become tighter, much like how Qi Wentai is currently, with fewer opportunities to perform surgeries.

Unless there’s really no one else, they might then get the chance to step in.

Currently, the general surgery staff is well-equipped, handling normal trauma patient visits effortlessly.

But for those in the resident role? Within two months, they can only occasionally take the stage.

This time isn’t too long or too short; it requires them to slowly digest and maintain their standards.

Yet still, the saying goes, efforts will eventually pay off.

The resident role is quite important and undergoing this training will greatly benefit their future work.

Anyway, Liu Banxia’s idea is to continually enhance their resident role tenure over time. Currently, it’s a bit limited, so they need more opportunities for refinement.

The diligent duo conducting surgeries and the hardworking quartet outside are entirely unaware that Liu Banxia has already quietly planned their work.

It can be said that Liu Banxia genuinely cares about them. Maybe saying he’s always thinking of them is exaggerated, but whenever he has time, he’ll help plan for them.

He’s truly someone who has come through the ranks, and he possesses his own experience and insights into mastering many surgical techniques.

While theoretical aspects can be directly shared with them, practical skills still require them to really feel it on the operating table.

After all, not everyone has his dream space; most of the time, they have to seize opportunities gradually.

This was supposed to be a routine partial liver resection, and the adhesion wasn’t particularly serious, making it quite easy to handle.

Like performing magic: to those who know it, it’s easy; to those who don’t, it’s difficult.

Li Hao started, Huang Bo finished, and Liu Banxia was responsible for the critical operations in between.

Of course, the overall time for the surgery was longer than if he had done it himself. That’s also the "cost" to pay; their operations aren’t as quick.

"It’s still easier going on stage with Director Liu; don’t bother with us anymore, it’s already past work hours, hurry home to see your babies."

After the surgery ended and the patient was wheeled out, Li Liwei said.

"Anyway, it’s already late, and a little more time won’t matter. If we miss this period, we can avoid rush hour, and going home won’t be too delayed." Liu Banxia said.

"How did the observations go today?" Li Liwei asked.

"Oh, did you notice?" Liu Banxia replied with a laugh.

"Well, during the surgery, apart from monitoring the patient’s indicators, I was observing you," Li Liwei said.

"I noticed something several times. Although you’re chatting, your eyes are constantly on their operations."

"In truth, I often feel worried for them; learning from you seems much easier because you’ll teach them without reservation."

"However, learning under you must be very pressuring. At times, when they go into surgery, they may complain a bit. But complaints aside, they’re still eager to learn."

Liu Banxia laughed, "It’s a bit of a habit, I don’t even remember when it started. I’m just afraid their skills aren’t solid enough."

"They are my first batch of trainees, and I’m genuinely worried they might make any mistake. It’s a conflicting feeling, wanting to let go quickly so I can be relieved, yet wanting to guide them a bit longer for safety."

"It’s the same for me; when I started supervising interns, it was similar." Li Liwei nodded.

"But indeed, they deserve your dedication; they’re all very promising talents. I’ve heard some people are already eyeing them, trying to recruit them away?"

"Exactly, people fear fame just like pigs fear getting fat; it wasn’t easy for me to train them. How can I let them be taken away so easily?" Liu Banxia said frustratedly.

"Director Jiang mentioned it last time; I thought it was a joke. Never imagined it’s real, it really troubled me too much. Fortunately, they are steadfast, not abandoning me for new attractions."

"Why do I sense a hint of pride in your voice?" Liu Mei teased.

"Hehe, a deserved bit of pride, but they truly haven’t fully matured yet." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Now, they’re honing their fundamental skills, picking up what they previously overlooked. So now, my focus is more on their basic skills than surgical techniques."

"This seems simple, but whether the basics are firmly grasped can clearly reflect in surgery."

"They won’t lack in skills; while they might not pay attention to surgeries in other departments like you, they’ll have plenty of room for growth in general surgery." Li Liwei said.

"Give them more time; they’re good kids, don’t use them wrongly. The techniques learned from you will make future surgeries smooth when working together."

"Just don’t praise them too much, I really worry they could get arrogant. Now is just the start of their careers, the perfect time to build their foundation." Liu Banxia said.

"Don’t worry, Director Liu; with you around, they won’t create any disturbances." Liu Mei said.

They’ve all become quite familiar; they truly don’t have much downtime. If not consulting, they’re reading books; only meal times allow for some relaxation.

Listening to Liu Mei’s words, Liu Banxia felt satisfied.

He can’t be omnipresent to constantly "monitor" these six; now he’s figured out their usual work habits from others’ mouths, which is really great.

His assessment of the six is something he never dares to slack on, not exactly continuous but almost.

This also shows his efforts haven’t been in vain, or regardless of his dedication to teaching, encountering kids with no ambition would be like a bright moon shining on muddy waters.

"See, you’re still very satisfied with them." Li Liwei teased again.

"Absolutely, but even if they perform excellently, they still require continued honing." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

Everyone felt speechless, genuinely worried for the six; the title of "Great Demon King" wasn’t given in vain.
