The Enhanced Doctor

Liu Banxia’s outrageous good luck received unanimous praise from everyone, anyway, the whole group seemed very happy.

"You guys are a bunch of heartless people, eating the grilled fish slices I sent and still criticizing me," Liu Banxia muttered.

"Teacher Liu, this was sent by the director’s wife, you are just the snack delivery person," Xu Yino retorted without hesitation.

"Keep your spirits up tonight, we have so many patients with long bone fractures, what if someone develops a pulmonary embolism? Emergency plans need to be well prepared," Liu Banxia said seriously.

Xu Yino pouted, is she afraid of his retaliation?

Just kidding, after all the practice she had in the emergency center, if she couldn’t handle such a small scene, she wouldn’t be Xu Yino.

Patients with long bone fractures are prone to blood clots leading to pulmonary embolism, this is something nursing care needs to pay attention to.

Not to mention, they have all experienced emergency care for patients with post-fracture pulmonary embolism, just need to work a little harder and constantly monitor the patients’ vital signs, then it’s OK.

The only trouble is that the patients now don’t have family members to accompany them, so it’s going to be hard on the nurses. They need to make regular rounds and ensure there are no problems.

"Heh, Teacher Liu, the director’s wife said you must work hard. Try to eat at least three lucky dumplings tonight, otherwise you won’t be lucky enough," Liu Yiqing chimed in.

"Ah... I’m afraid to look at her social media posts; after reading them, you’ll be craving," Liu Banxia sighed.

"Yeah, Qing Kewa is really incredibly happy this time, she posts and shows off every dish," Liu Yiqing nodded empathically.

"That guy, your home has almost become the base camp," Wang Chao said with emotion.

"Can’t help it, Qiaoqiao is a hospitable person. Before we got married, her lady friends often came to stay," Liu Banxia said.

"Now Qing Kewa can even help with the kids; the two little ones are quite attached to her. Sometimes even I, being the father, don’t dare to manage them, it’s quite worrying."

"It’s because you’re often not at home; when the kids grow a bit older, it will be better. By then, they’ll recognize people, seek out people, and you can coax them nicely, then they’ll stick to you," Wang Huan said with a smile.

"You all should hurry up; even if our marriage age as doctors is generally later, it still needs to be on the agenda. You can’t just focus on work and neglect your personal life."

"Teacher Wang, we want to make an effort too. But look at our current schedule, is there any time to squeeze in dating?" Xu Yino said with a bitter smile.

"Even if we take a step back and can squeeze out a little time, having a proper date once a week, but who would want to find someone who won’t be around in the future?"

"You say Teacher Liu is excellent, right? But I think if you don’t consider the director’s wife’s stance and let him fly solo outside, nobody may want to take him in."

Xu Yino’s words amused the group, but there was a slight pang of heartache.

Although slightly exaggerated, they reflect the real issue now.

Unless you just want to coast along in the future, your time will be very plentiful. If you want to achieve something in medicine, now is the time to master new techniques and solidify the basics.

Everyone wishes there were twenty-five hours in a day, just to have a little more time to study.

If it weren’t for today being New Year’s, they wouldn’t be assembled here chatting. During New Year’s, they also need to eat dumplings and give themselves a small break.

"What plans do you guys have after New Year’s?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Haven’t figured it out, but I want to take a whole day just lying in bed sleeping," Xu Yino said.

"I don’t know what to do, if I sleep too much, I’m afraid I’ll get insomnia. Teacher Liu, can I go play with the director’s wife?" Liu Yiqing asked.

Xu Yino rolled her eyes, "Can’t you have some ambition? Even if you pop over to Langtaosha for a soak, it’d be better."

"I’m embarrassed to just go there myself, girls don’t usually go for a big bath alone," Liu Yiqing said.

"Actually, thinking about it, there’s nothing really to do, maybe just lounging at home," Huang Bo added.

"Our life is really too monotonous, if nothing works, I’ll just go to see a movie. How long has it been since going to a cinema? Poor me."

"Can’t you have some ambition? Even going to a cafe looking for a chance encounter would be better than going to a dark cinema," Liu Banxia said, pursing his lips.

"Tsk tsk, Teacher Liu, looks like you’ve tried it?" Li Hao asked with a smile.

"Actually, I did have such a thought back then, but just couldn’t find the time," Liu Banxia said.

"Back then, I was living in an old district; there were quite a few small fly restaurants around, but high-end coffee shops were really nowhere to be found."

"During that time, I’d stroll around the market, buy some fried food, cooked food, carry two bottles of cold beer, and life would be blissful."

"My stipend wasn’t as high as yours is now, between renting and some basic expenses, basically, there wasn’t much left."

"You also have to look at the current price levels, anyway I’ve made up my mind. I’ll go to the teacher’s wife whenever I can, and get some cosmetics if I can." Xu Yino said.

Liu Banxia felt helpless, his home had really become a headquarters.

"Director Liu, an emergency vehicle will be bringing a high fever patient soon, with headache, abdominal pain, and diarrhea," the dispatch nurse shouted at this moment.

"Why don’t you call President Qi, he is the one in charge?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Everyone thinks you’re very lucky today, so we’ll leave the reception to you." The dispatch nurse said with a smile.

"Lucky, lucky, you guys have no conscience, Xu Yino, prepare for reception." Liu Banxia said.

Life needs adjustment, and the heavy work in the emergency center requires adjustment too.

Everyone knew what Liu Banxia’s temperament was like, and he wouldn’t mind such a small joke. Moreover, the patient’s situation would still require reception by one of the ’little six’ even if Qi Wentai was called.

After waiting for a while, the emergency vehicle arrived, and a family of three jumped out of the car. The patient was a man in his thirties lying on the examination bed.

"Male, 34 years old, temperature 39.2 degrees. Dizziness, headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, for about four days now. The diarrhea is severe today, with some dehydration, and was given rehydration on the vehicle." The paramedic said.

"Send to the examination bed first. Does he have any previous medical history or hereditary diseases?" Xu Yino asked.

The patient’s wife shook her head, "He’s usually very healthy, just had a bit of fever and diarrhea in the last couple of days, thought it was gastrointestinal rush and didn’t pay much attention."

"Let’s handle the paperwork for him first, we’ll examine him now. How are you feeling?" Xu Yino said.

"Terrible, completely exhausted, and the stomach keeps cramping." The patient said.

"What does the stool look like?" Xu Yino continued to ask.

"Like water, just like an open tap. I felt a bit better after getting an IV drip, at home it was unbearable, wasted so much food today." The patient said.

"With your current gastrointestinal situation, all the good food still isn’t suitable for eating." Xu Yino said.

"Switch beds yourself. How has your recent diet been? Did you eat anything unusual? Any raw seafood?"

"No, I’ve been eating at home the same way. It wasn’t this bad yesterday and the day before, thought some antidiarrheal would suffice, now it’s really bad." The patient said.

"I used to have diarrhea from cold drinks, haven’t had anything cold for years. Doctor, can you prescribe some painkillers? The stomach pain is unbearable."

"Don’t worry, it’s probably intestinal colic due to diarrhea. I’ll prescribe medication after the examination, let’s check the situation first." Xu Yino said.

"And your temperature is quite high, over thirty-nine degrees, we need to see what’s causing it. Don’t worry blindly, just cooperate with the examination."

The patient nodded.

During the festival, no one wants to be bothered with going to the hospital. But his diarrhea was indeed uncontrollable, otherwise, he wouldn’t have called 120.

Xu Yino conducted a physical examination. Heart and lung functions were normal, blood pressure was slightly low, likely related to the diarrhea history. Also did a bedside ultrasound, no issues found in the abdomen.

"Based on the examination so far, your abdominal pain is likely intestinal colic caused by diarrhea. We’ll do a blood test soon, and then provide antipyretic and antispasmodic treatment." Xu Yino said.

"Diarrhea is quite severe, if you feel the urge again, let’s do a stool test. Your condition indicates some dehydration."

"Doctor, I’ve been drinking plenty of water at home?" The patient said.

"The water you replenish at home is different from medical rehydration. Drinking water at home replenishes slowly. Besides, your dehydration likely caused electrolyte imbalance." Xu Yino said.

"Next time, if you experience similar issues, you could drink some weak saline water at home. Okay, we’ll conduct a blood test for general bloodwork, biochemistry, and then a stool test."

"Then we’ll provide antipyretic and antispasmodic treatment, to help you feel better. Don’t miss your home-cooked meals, even though dehydration is common, combined with high fever, it can be dangerous."

The patient nodded, since he was already at the hospital, he would follow whatever was needed.

"Teacher Liu, the patient’s fever case is quite complex. If it’s acute gastroenteritis, typically it wouldn’t involve such high temperature, right?"

After writing up the paperwork, Xu Yino approached Liu Banxia.

Liu Banxia nodded, "The patient’s condition needs close attention, this fever feels concerning. I..."

"Stop... Teacher Liu, let’s just give general recommendations. No need for any definite conclusions, we can assess after the blood test results, okay?" Xu Yino quickly said.

Liu Banxia gave her a helpless look and nodded.
