The Enhanced Doctor

Speaking of nervousness, Liu Banxia, who was responsible for the surgery, was the most nervous one. But no matter how nervous, his hands remained steady.

Even if the operation speed is a bit slower, that’s okay. As long as the hands are steady and the surgery can be completed, that’s what’s important.

He does have experience performing surgery on children, but those children were a few years old, not newborns like now.

How old is this little guy?

For Liu Banxia right now, he is truly giving it his all.

Actually, he never thought pediatric surgery was difficult before, but today’s neonatal surgery taught him a solid lesson.

Huang Ying watched for a while and then quietly left the operating room.

"Doctor Huang, how is the baby?"

Seeing her come out, the baby’s father rushed over to her.

"Don’t worry, currently the one operating on the baby is our emergency center’s vice director, who can perform liver transplant surgeries." Huang Ying reassured.

"Doctor Huang, how much longer will the surgery take?" the baby’s father asked.

"Because neonatal surgery is complex and difficult, it will take some time. I honestly can’t say for sure. Even if I do, it’s just a rough estimate and not reliable." Huang Ying replied.

"When I came out, the operation was already underway. We acted promptly and there was no intestinal necrosis. So, following our surgical plan, we only need to remove the closure ends back and forth."

"After the baby recovers in the future, it won’t greatly affect his growth and development. We just need to take good care of him and there will still be no problem."

"You also need to comfort your wife, and prepare for the fact that when she wakes up, she will surely look for the baby."

The baby’s father nodded, understanding that he must take care of his wife. But with his newborn baby undergoing surgery, he couldn’t calm his mind.

As for Liu Banxia in the operating room? As the surgery progressed, he felt less nervous than before.

It seems he is indeed capable.

"How are you two feeling?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Walking on thin ice."

"Being extremely cautious."

Liu Yiqing and Xu Yino responded together.

Although they used different words, they expressed similar sentiments.

"Actually, it’s no big deal, as long as we are gentle, it will be fine." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Even though it’s intestinal, we can treat it as slightly thicker blood vessels. And as for blood vessels, we can lower the grade, it’s really not a big deal."

Wang Lei laughed, "It seems you are confident about this surgery now?"

"After doing it for a while, you get a feel for it, but this surgery will take longer, three hours might be a conservative estimate." Liu Banxia said.

"I found that this new year has been unusual. After the new year, I have done two surgeries that I never dared to think about before."

"And today is also strange, the patient I saw this morning had severe organ enlargement and could not close the abdomen, multiple organ failure. An afternoon surgery patient had gallbladder cancer metastasis, couldn’t proceed."

"Now we need a piece of good news, although this baby had intestinal atresia. But we need her to be the good news, this surgery must be completed clearly."

"That’s for sure, since Director Liu says so, this surgery will be no problem." Liu Mei, the instrument nurse, said.

"With caution and effort, I think it will really be no problem. But don’t blame me if we’re late after work, I truly can’t take big actions." Liu Banxia said.

"Even if you work until midnight, we’re not worried, cases like this baby are truly concerning." Wang Lei said.

"Isn’t that the truth? Although it’s a regular surgery, I definitely don’t have a problem. But before going on stage I’m slightly apprehensive, might need to focus more on this area in the future." Liu Banxia said.

"Plus, I feel like the director seems to guide me in this direction. Otherwise, I could have performed surgery for him, and he could have done this one."

"Tsk tsk, that’s between you and your mentor. But if that’s the case, you’d better work hard. The number of surgeries will increase significantly." Wang Lei said.

"Yes, there’s another surgery in the ward tomorrow. Then there aren’t any for now, might get a few days of rest, no idea." Liu Banxia said.

"I doubt it, your reputation is growing. Many will seek you for surgeries. Watch, you’ll be busy in the future." Wang Lei said.

"Ah... sometimes people are just that complex. Used to hope for more surgeries, now hope for more time at home." Liu Banxia sighed.

He’s not arrogantly thinking he’ll soon be someone whose surgery is scheduled months in advance, can’t even imagine that. But his upcoming work will indeed be busy, must take his wife on business trips.

His mental state relaxed, not as tense, which helped Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing relax much more.

Actually, in this surgery, they were auxiliary assistants, occasionally needing a reminder from Liu Banxia.

If it were an adult’s surgery, Liu Banxia wouldn’t need to say much; these two girls would already know what to do.

But today, it was different; even though they knew how to cooperate, they felt uncertain inside.

Even now, although not as tense as before, they’ve only relaxed slightly.

Time flowed slowly, but Liu Banxia’s operations were methodical and precise.

Although Wang Lei couldn’t perform surgery, he had seen many, and he found Liu Banxia’s precise suturing very impressive.

"Alright, suturing is complete. Let’s check the blood flow," Liu Banxia said.

Xu Yino quickly and cautiously began the procedure.

A few seconds later, the infant’s intestines started showing signs of blood color.

"Everyone, observe carefully and see if there are any complications," Liu Banxia said.

He didn’t dare take everything for granted; even with the sutures complete, issues could still arise. This type of suturing was also his first attempt.

After observing for a whole five minutes, Liu Banxia nodded in satisfaction, "OK, rinse it off, let’s prepare to close the abdomen. How long did it take?"

"Teacher Liu, it’s been three hours and seven minutes now," Xu Yino replied.

"Still need to push harder, this speed is rather slow, closing the abdomen requires careful suturing. This is a little girl, strive to leave no scar tissue," Liu Banxia nodded.

"Ah..., this surgery is truly nerve-wracking," Liu Yiqing remarked.

"But it’s good, at least in the future, you’ll be more relaxed with similar surgeries, right?" Wang Lei asked.

"Teacher Wang, that’s unlikely, this pressure is off the charts," Xu Yino replied.

"But for Teacher Liu, it might be nothing. For her, any surgery she’s done once will be mastered seamlessly in the future."

"Complimenting me is useless. If I start researching pediatric surgery, do you think you all will escape?" Liu Banxia said casually.

"Right now we’re just watching the excitement, but in the future, you’ll have to draw lots to select who can do general pediatric surgery."

"Dr. Chen has talked to me about this for a long time. I reckon if he hears the news, he might be waiting outside the surgery room."

"A newborn, plus such a surgery, there’s no choice but to face it head-on. Otherwise, any other surgery with a choice would be referred to the Third Hospital."

"Dr. Chen is quite upset about this. He doesn’t want to see those children troubled, it’s just too exhausting. If it could be handled in our emergency center, so much better."

"The pressure feels like a mountain crashing down," Xu Yino sighed.

"Pressure is indeed there, but just ponder this: once this surgery is over, doesn’t the sense of satisfaction feel remarkably different?" Liu Banxia asked.

The two girls paused, thinking deeply, and realized it was true.

The moment they saw the infant’s intestines restoring blood flow, it could be described as ecstatic.

The weight of this satisfaction is heavy; it’s akin to their joy from their first successful procedure as the main surgeon.

Ding! Surgery task completed

Earned 500 experience points, intestinal surgery skill proficiency 400 points, Glory Points +50

This task is rated perfect, earned 600 experience points, intestinal surgery skill proficiency 600 points, Glory Points 15+80

Upon seeing the task rewards, Liu Banxia felt quite pleased.

Yesterday, he saved so many people and even performed surgery on-site, yet the system didn’t offer any rewards.

Possibly due to the nature of the situation, the surgery was indeed somewhat rough, or maybe the system was judging him even more strictly now.

Anyway, upgrading future levels will indeed be tough.

But there’s a silver lining; the amount of Glory Points given now is fairly large.

If following this pace, it won’t be long before he can solidify the third and fourth attributes, and life at that time would certainly be splendid.

Even if it might be a bit tiring, it’s worth it. These four attributes are the foundation.

When stepping out of the operating room, there was a crowd waiting, rushing up to him.

"The surgery was very successful, but the baby needs to be transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit. There’s still a post-operative recovery period to go through, it’ll take some time," Liu Banxia said.

Huang Ying was among those waiting outside, and she gave a thumbs up.

The baby’s family members, filled with gratitude, directed it all towards Liu Banxia, leaving him feeling emotional; the fatigue of today was absolutely worth it.
