What the interns had just experienced was truly impactful for them. It felt as if they had ascended to a new level of patient treatment because Liu Banxia wasn’t just considering the present, but also the future.

Actually, this was a heartfelt sentiment from him, stemming from his earlier conversation with Qiaoqiao about Tang Feifei. With no word from her for so long, she was definitely off filming a movie. And for someone with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis like her, fatigue and an irregular sleep schedule were the worst culprits.

"Teacher Liu, considering the patient’s condition just now, will they file a complaint against you?" Huang Bo asked with concern.

Hearing his words, everyone suddenly remembered this issue. Although Liu Banxia had good intentions, his words had been quite harsh. If the patient actually filed a complaint, it would be troublesome. This was a critical stage in the competition for deputy director, and a complaint wouldn’t be easy to handle.

"Actually, it’s not a big deal. If they want to complain, let them. At most, it would result in a pay cut. If he truly remembers this and avoids drinking in the future, then this surgery will have been more meaningful," Liu Banxia said indifferently.

"He was my patient once; I gave him a diagnosis and medical advice. The director’s schedule is full, and Shi Lei is off today. Brother Wei, can you come over?"

"What for?" Wei Yuan asked curiously.

"I’m transferring a patient to you. Early-stage liver cancer. The tumor is small, with no complex blood vessels nearby, so it should be easy to handle," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"What trap have you set, waiting for me to jump into it?" Wei Yuan was on alert.

"None at all. Take a look first, then discuss the surgery with Liu Yiqing," Liu Banxia said. "Actually, the patient dislikes me. In my personal judgment, it’s a minor adhesion at most. He was lucky it was detected during a routine check-up."

"Really? If there were a vote, I’m afraid all the patients would choose you. How could a patient dislike you?"

Hearing him say this, Wei Yuan felt even more strongly that something was amiss.

Don’t underestimate Liu Banxia, even if he didn’t do ward rounds often. When he did, he could really chat. Others would just walk through, getting the details of the patients’ conditions. But him? He could chat in there for half an hour. It was highly unusual for him to be disliked by a patient’s family. Unless there had been a medical accident or an argument, how could it be possible?

"Teacher Wei, Teacher Liu said something the patient didn’t like. This patient smokes, drinks, and also has cirrhosis of the liver," Liu Yiqing said.

Wei Yuan frowned. Knowing Liu Banxia’s temperament, if he truly had a disagreement with the patient, it could escalate into something serious.

"Hehe, don’t worry about me. Hurry upstairs and help me smooth things over," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

Wei Yuan felt helpless. After carefully reviewing the case file, he gestured to Liu Yiqing. Even though Liu Banxia had explained the situation, now that the patient was under his name, Wei Yuan knew he had to review the case file himself to truly understand it. And, as Liu Banxia had said, he needed to go and smooth things over. Whether he could succeed would depend on the patient’s mood, and Wei Yuan felt the chances weren’t high.

"Teacher Liu, why do I feel that you seem different?" Su Wenhao asked curiously.

"What’s different? I’m still the same as before. Don’t think that just because you’re graduating soon, I’ll go easy on you. I won’t stop giving you a hard time," Liu Banxia retorted.

Su Wenhao shook his head. "Not that kind of different. I just feel you *are* different. I can’t quite put my finger on it... It just feels like you have this powerful presence."

"Hehe, flattery won’t do you any good. Liu Yiqing has already reserved a spot for this surgery. The three of you will have to compete for a spot with Wei Yuan," Liu Banxia said with a smile. "I still need to review the project application that Wang Chao and his team drafted. If there are no major issues, I’ll pass it directly to the director. We’ll aim to establish the fecal transplant center within half a month."

The three of them nodded and didn’t stay to disturb Liu Banxia any longer.

It had to be said, Wang Chao and his team’s project application plan was very comprehensive and well-founded. They had even included market analysis for the fecal transplant center. Liu Banxia felt reassured. It seemed Wang Chao was truly dedicated to this project. If he had done it himself, the report definitely wouldn’t have been this polished.

"Oh, Sister Wang, why are you here?"

Just as he put down the report, he saw Wang Ying approaching.

"What else could it be? You, can’t you ever just keep a low profile? What happened with the patient? A complaint was lodged with us," Wang Ying said.

Liu Banxia grinned and briefly explained what happened during the ward round.

"You just can’t let people rest easy, can you? The more critical the moment, the more trouble you stir up," Wang Ying said, a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Heh heh, I just didn’t hold my tongue. But if I don’t use strong medicine, the patient won’t remember. Sister Wang, I’ll take the punishment for this. Handle it as you see fit. Don’t feel troubled by it," Liu Banxia said.

"It will definitely be recorded. It’s not overly serious; the main issue is the complaint about your attitude," Wang Ying said. "Don’t you know that everyone is watching you? Seeing you behave so well for so long, I was quite relieved. Looks like I’ll have to ask Director Zhou to keep a good rein on you."

"Sister Wang, don’t bother with him. A leopard can’t change its spots. If he could change, he wouldn’t be Banxia," Zhou Li joined them at this moment.

"Then you two will have to watch him more closely to prevent him from making mistakes. How have things been lately? More patients? Are you tired?" Wang Ying asked.

"It’s manageable. The foundation you laid was excellent, so I don’t have to worry much. Sister Wang, don’t rush off. Let Banxia treat you to lunch; he has some great news he hasn’t told you yet."

"Er... Sister Li, you know too?" Liu Banxia asked.

"What great news? It can’t be settled so quickly, can it?" Wang Ying was a bit confused.

"Let him tell you," Zhou Li said with a smile.

"Well, Qiaoqiao is pregnant. I only found out when I got home the night before last," Liu Banxia said with a grin. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"That really is great news. I guess I won’t be able to leave at lunchtime then. I’ll wait for Director Zhou, and we can properly report your actions," Wang Ying nodded.

"Sister Wang, let’s ignore him. Let him be. Whatever we say is useless anyway," Zhou Li said.

Liu Banxia grinned sheepishly; it was indeed true.

He could have chosen a gentler approach with this patient, Liu Banxia mused. But the most likely outcome was that after he spoke and the patient listened, things would revert to how they were, with no lasting effect. He’d seen far too many such patients. This one wasn’t the first, and he certainly wouldn’t be the last. The cigarette butts swept up from the stairwell every day were a testament to this. Besides, this complaint wasn’t that serious; it was merely about his attitude. A complaint regarding medical procedures would have been truly damning.

Wang Ying was formerly from the Emergency Center, so many people there knew her well. Even though she was back to handle a complaint about Liu Banxia, most people weren’t too concerned.

"Comrade Old Wu, does Teacher Wang have surgery today?" Liu Banxia approached Wu Mingyu again.

Wu Mingyu nodded. "Yes, one case. However, it’s not from our Emergency Center; it’s an orthopedic patient. Don’t worry, Teacher Wang has no other intentions. He also knows it’s difficult to get time off in the Emergency Center."

"That’s good. By the way, who’s the other attending physician who came with him?" Liu Banxia continued to ask.

"You should know him, right? Ding Shiqiang, Teacher Wang’s disciple. He’s also very skilled. I finally won’t be so tired anymore," Wu Mingyu replied.

"Well... that’ll save me some trouble too. At least I won’t have to keep covering your shifts for free. I’ve had a lot on my plate recently and can’t afford to be too distracted," Liu Banxia said. "Let me think about it carefully. When the time comes, I’ll need to have a proper chat with you. Regarding the teaching and training program, you should also give it serious thought and try to provide me with some reference points."

"Why don’t you talk to Teacher Wang directly? I’ve never considered these things," Wu Mingyu responded.

"Well, we’re not that familiar yet. Plus, I don’t know much about orthopedics, so I’m afraid I might say something rash," Liu Banxia confessed. "This is a major undertaking and will have a big impact on me, so I can only approach people I know well. The main Orthopedics Department has Director Xu in charge, so I don’t need to worry much about that side."

Wu Mingyu glanced at him and could only nod helplessly. This is payback, he mused. Who told me to keep calling this guy over to cover my shifts back when I had nothing to do? He already said he’d start with those he knew well; how could Wu Mingyu dodge it?

"But this complaint you stirred up today, will it really have no impact?" Wu Mingyu asked.

"That depends on how you look at it. If they’re just picking faults, this complaint isn’t a huge deal. I’m lacking in many areas for the deputy director position; this complaint would have to get in line behind my other shortcomings," Liu Banxia said with a smile. "Let’s see what fate has in store. If I’m lucky, I might get promoted smoothly. If not, then I won’t. It would actually be a good chance to rest for a couple of years, focus on the hospital’s work, and have more time to spend with my wife. You have no idea, this trip back home affected me deeply. Especially when I was leaving in the morning, my heart was heavy with reluctance and worry."

"It’s the same for all of us; we’re apart more than we’re together. My wife always says our home is just a hotel, and I’m a guest who doesn’t even pay for the room," Wu Mingyu shared.

"Things will get better. You two should be able to stagger your time off. Besides, our general surgery department can handle most orthopedic surgeries now, unless they’re exceptionally complex."

Wu Mingyu nodded. "If it weren’t for the changes you initiated, I’d probably have been driven mad by exhaustion by now. We need to maintain this and train them well."

"So, when the new interns arrive, you really need to put effort into mentoring them. The teaching and training work is crucial," Liu Banxia seized the opportunity to interject.

"Go, go, go. Get out of here. Just looking at you is annoying. I must have been muddleheaded to come here and suffer all this hardship in the first place. I can finally catch a break, and now I have to rack my brains with you," Wu Mingyu said, annoyed.

Liu Banxia wasn’t bothered. As long as Wu Mingyu had agreed, he would be able to provide some materials when the time came.
