The Enhanced Doctor

"Actually, thinking about it now, having a doctor in the family is quite good. At least when there’s some situation, you can have peace of mind," Qiaoqiao said with a smile.

"But there are also disadvantages. More or less, there will be some issues," Liu Banxia replied with a smile.

"Some conditions, if you just leave them be, they might not progress. But once a doctor sees it, it becomes a thing, and they keep it on their mind," he added.

"I’m a real example. At first, I didn’t think much of it. Then after you mentioned it, I started to worry myself," Qiu Huaili said with a laugh.

"But now I’m truly relieved, not worried at all. Anyway, my health is good, and I’ll just get a thorough check-up once a year," he continued.

"Health is truly precious. Whether you have money or not, you’ll suffer if there’s a problem. You have to focus on the small things and prevent problems from the start," he added.

"Brother Liu, now that you’ll be managing a whole floor yourself, does that mean you have quite a bit of authority?" Qiu Mingyuan asked.

Liu Banxia nodded, "It will be slightly bigger, but it’s only internal within the department. There’s a bit more freedom, and I’ll be handling more tasks than before," he explained.

"I’ll be responsible for the entire department, and it’s primarily because of the large population in our country. If we were in Qing Kewa’s area, it would be quite difficult," he said.

Qing Kewa, munching on pig trotters, nodded, "The patient flow here is really large, much bigger than our hospital," she noted.

"Honestly, in some county hospitals, certain departments are individually contracted, and I’ve heard they’ve made quite a bit of money," Liu Qingdong mentioned.

"In general, local hospitals do have this responsibility system, but it’s more internally managed. A hospital like ours can’t handle it, especially in our emergency center," Liu Banxia explained.

"There are always patients who delay paying medical bills, and the amounts are hefty. The patient who complained about me last time still hasn’t paid, nor have they said whether they’ll continue complaining or suing," he said.

"These emergency patients often require major surgeries to be saved. Major surgeries use many consumables and involve multiple projects, so the medical costs are naturally much higher," he added.

"For such patients, if you don’t urge them for payment, the hospital can’t sustain losses. But if you do, people will say the hospital is cold-hearted," he continued.

"By the way, Brother Qiu, the person I introduced is down-to-earth. Although not highly educated, he’s sincere in his work. After re-examination in the next couple of days, if it really is Wilson’s disease, maintaining with regular medication won’t affect his work," he said.

"It’s not a problem as long as his work attitude is upright; he can stay and work." Qiu Huaili nodded with a smile.

Assigning a plumber to work at the property management company is really not a big deal for him.

Sometimes he feels quite frustrated that when Liu Banxia seeks his help, it’s always these trivial matters. He sometimes feels like a cannon focused on shooting mosquitoes.

But thinking about Liu Banxia’s side, it seems there’s really not much that requires his involvement.

The biggest task seems to be arranging house purchases every year, which is quite normal.

The kids eat pretty quickly; they don’t have much time to sit at the table chatting with you while eating. After getting their fill, it’s happy playtime.

Whether it’s Rou, Yuanyuan, or Doudou, they all quite like Tang Dou’s family and Tiggie.

Now, the winds from all directions have grown a lot too; they’re at the mischievous stage, and whenever the kids discipline them, they’re actually quite pleased inside.

The team leaders are Qiu Mingyuan and Xiao Yue, they’re almost like the leaders of the kids.

"It seems Rou and Yuanyuan have recovered really well, which is nice and beyond my expectations," Liu Banxia said.

"Oh... lucky I trusted you and went to Doctor Tian for consultation; it really worked," Bao Chunlai commented.

"Actually, sometimes this is how it goes. Many times, you tend to amplify the effectiveness of doctors," Liu Banxia replied.

"Doctor Tian is indeed excellent, but the role she can play is large, yet not everything. The family environment is truly important, and you’re managing that excellently," he continued.

"Like you, you’ve greatly reduced your time spent working and socializing outside. On a whim, your family of three might still go to watch a movie together. Think back, would this have happened before?"

"And Dalei, does he really spend enough time accompanying his wife and kids? Every family’s kids are precious, but you can’t cherish them just when you remember," he pointed out.

"I really admire Brother Qiu; he’s done this aspect exceptionally well. Anyway, I strive to learn from Brother Qiu. We can’t leave our two little ones to Qiaoqiao alone, or she’ll be worn out," he said.

"Hey, now you’re praising me. Doudou is my darling. If I don’t see her for a day, I start missing her," Qiu Huaili responded with a laugh.

"Ming Yuan has grown up, and in the future, with Yueyue’s help, I don’t need to worry about it. Banxia made a good point here; I never really paid attention to this before."

"You two brothers shouldn’t be so formal. On this point, I’m siding with Banxia. You really haven’t done a good job. You’ve been successful in business, but not so much as fathers."

"Family factors are indeed very important. There’s an old saying that ’a doting mother raises a spoiled child,’ which is actually a reflection of family influence. Mothers can spoil the kids, but fathers need to supervise."

"As fathers, we can’t just leave everything to the wives and then be at ease. It’s really not the way it works; kids are too hard to raise these days."

"It’s different from when we were young; we could be amused with a candy for hours. Kids today learn so much, so fast, like playing with phones and fiddling with computers; even if the three of us combined, we might not be more knowledgeable than Yuanyuan."

Bao Chunlai and Dalei nodded; everything Qiu Huaili was saying was true. He’s speaking openly only because the relationship is good.

"Banxia will surely be busy in the future. Look at how well he talks now, but he’ll also have to squeeze in time for his kids." Qiu Huaili continued.

Liu Banxia grinned, "Pretty much, when I’m managing the whole department, even with Xu Yino and the others helping, I still have to personally oversee many things."

"So you’ll have to make the effort too, kids grow up really fast." Qiu Huaili said with a smile.

"Speaking of Doudou, when you first saw her, she was just so small; now she’s running everywhere. It feels to me like she grew up in the blink of an eye."

"She even has a bit of a temper now; if she wants something and you don’t get it for her, she knows how to get upset. Your daughter, I reckon her temper will be even bigger than Doudou’s."

"Brother Qiu, I’m a bit worried, Yanzi and the others all say Shiya takes after me." Qiaoqiao said pitifully.

"But not necessarily, actually Banxia used to have a pretty stubborn temper too, taking after their Old Liu’s family roots." Peng Xiuqin said.

"Having a bit of temper is good, not easily taken advantage of, as long as it’s not random outbursts." Liu Qingdong said with a laugh.

"In the future, we all need to pay attention." Qiu Huaili continued the conversation.

"No matter how old they are, kids will always need fun and company. When we have time, we should get together; not only does it make us happy, but the kids are happy too."

"What’s the fun in just staying home alone all the time? It’s too lonely. Not like Banxia’s side, where they brought their little friends along, playing together since childhood."

"After all, times are changing. Even though I’ve raised Ming Yuan, watching Doudou sometimes gives me a headache too. No idea if she’ll listen in the future or just be a mischievous kid."

Everyone laughed. Actually, they all felt that Doudou was pretty good, just loved to tease Tang Dou, which is typical kid behavior.

"Rou has been home a lot recently, and I’m thinking of sending her back to school in the next term." Bao Chunlai said.

"It’s not necessarily about achieving great fame or getting into Tsinghua or Peking University; I’ve long stopped thinking about that. I just want her to have more friends her age, which would be good for her growth."

"Our Yuanyuan is similar, she’s recovering well, and by next summer we’ll send her to school. For now, she’s self-studying at home and should be able to catch up then." Dalei joined in.

"I must remind you, don’t put too much pressure on her studies." Liu Banxia said.

"Yuanyuan’s illness has the risk of recurrence, mainly related to stress. Her future career choices should preferably focus on leisure activities."

"Like the 996 work culture in some places or high-pressure jobs like ours as doctors, those should be avoided. Interests and hobbies should be cultivated from a young age, so just keep an eye on that."

Dalei and his wife both nodded; Doctor Tian had mentioned this too, that Yuanyuan’s growth at this stage needs encouragement.

Nonetheless, they’re grateful to Liu Banxia because he spoke out of concern. Otherwise, why bother mentioning it? If not for Liu Banxia, it’s hard to say what Yuanyuan’s current situation would be like.

Everyone gathered because of Liu Banxia; in the future, there might be business cooperation opportunities.

The most crucial thing is, as Qiaoqiao said, having a doctor around is very reassuring, especially one as skilled as him.

Liu Qingdong listened in on their conversation, occasionally chiming in; he just felt very happy.

He never imagined such a drastic change in his life, all thanks to his son’s abilities. Otherwise, where would these good days come from?

Also, his son really boosts his pride. He just doesn’t know what Old Tong’s second son will decide. Anyway, he doesn’t think too much about it; whatever plan his son comes up with must be the best.

Whether it’s coming to Binhai City or having the county hospital make reports or whatever, that’s their business.
