"Wang Chao, has the screening result for that patient come out?"

Back at the emergency center, Liu Banxia asked.

"Not yet, but Dr. Zhang discussed with the patient and decided to do an enhanced CT first," Wang Chao said.

"Anyway, it has to be done sooner or later. Let’s do a thorough check today, and if possible, we’ll get it out tomorrow. How are the patients in the inpatient department?"

"Li Hao is explaining over there. I thought he was back already. It seems the patient’s concerns about the surgery are quite high; it’s a meticulous patient," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

Some patients only need a preliminary understanding of the surgical process. After all, they know surgery is necessary to cure the disease, and they don’t understand the surgical knowledge, so they just listen to the doctor’s advice.

But there are other patients who are more meticulous. They want to understand every link of the surgery clearly, especially the potential causes of any complications, and they will ask thorough questions.

For such patients, explaining the surgical process takes a lot of time.

But this is also a normal phenomenon because, ultimately, very few people will refuse surgery due to possible complications.

It’s not that there are none, but this proportion is very low.

The two patients seen today can be said to be typical representatives.

The patient possibly with a brain parasite cyst eagerly accepts any kind of examination. Whereas the inpatient department’s patient, even when at the stage where surgery is inevitable, needs a thorough understanding.

"The weather outside looks gloomy, is it smog or is it going to get foggy?" Shi Lei said at that moment.

"It seems like fog is coming. Going home after work today will be tormenting; at least I will be half an hour to an hour late before I can see my two big treasures," Liu Banxia said.

"Boss Shi, please be reasonable. This guy is boasting because he has two big treasures and acts all smug; how should we handle him?" Wang Chao asked.

"Oh... what can be done? He’s ahead of us, we just have to endure," Shi Lei sighed.

"Oh... there’s really nothing I can do; I have to work hard too," Wang Chao said, shaking his fist.

"Teacher Liu, it’s confirmed with the inpatient department; the first surgery is scheduled for the morning after tomorrow," Li Hao said as he walked over.

"Did the patient ask a lot?" Liu Banxia said with a smile.

Li Hao nodded with a bitter expression, "I almost took him to watch another person’s surgery video, but after patiently explaining, he’s quite trusting in us now."

"That’s good. Coordinate well with Doctor Huang. Since he’s their patient, the postoperative care will need to be done by them," Liu Banxia said.

"A traffic accident patient will be sent over soon. Multiple injuries, comminuted fracture of the right pinky finger, likely to require amputation. Who’s going to check it?" Qi Wentai came over.

Wang Chao and Shi Lei stepped back in unison, highlighting Liu Banxia.

"Traitors, all traitors. I’ll take a look. Who is assigned to receive the patient?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Liu Yiqing," Qi Wentai said with a smile.

"Such capable people must be utilized more," Shi Lei added.

Liu Banxia was quite helpless; what good is being a deputy director or having the ability to perform liver transplants? Right now it means nothing.

It’s not that he purposely wanted to irritate them; after all, he just thinks about his two big treasures every day, and his little treasure also ranks second.

Just as he reached the door, the emergency vehicle arrived right on time.

"Vital signs are stable, unconscious at the scene, multiple abrasions, head contusions, injured while riding an electric bike and being knocked down by a vehicle,"

The paramedic pushing the patient said.

"Doctor, how’s it looking, serious?" a young man who came along asked.

"To Rescue Room Two, are you a family member?" Liu Yiqing asked.

"I’m the driver who knocked him down, but it wasn’t intentional. I have a dashcam; he turned suddenly. But it doesn’t seem like an insurance scam... let’s wait for the police’s judgment," the young man said with a sigh.

"Liu Yiqing, you take them for examination first; I’ll help contact the family," Liu Banxia said.

Liu Yiqing nodded, leading them to the rescue room.

"Director Liu, you’re handling this? The phone is broken, so there’s no way to contact anyone for now. The electric bike doesn’t have a license plate, making it difficult to find," Ma Limin said, following along.

"That’s really troublesome, and we don’t know if there’s any intracranial injury," Liu Banxia said.

"Perhaps it’s because the darkness has intensified now, and there’s smog. I checked the driver’s dashcam; he just suddenly turned," Ma Limin said.

"Have you tried switching the SIM card to another phone and logged into WeChat to look for the family?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Oh my, Director Liu, you’re amazing. I never thought of this method," Ma Limin said happily.

"It’s also because we had a patient yesterday whose family was contacted through WeChat. Nowadays, most WeChat accounts are registered with phone numbers, so there’s a chance," Liu Banxia replied.

Ma Limin nodded and started tinkering nearby.

Liu Banxia headed to the second emergency room.

"How’s the examination going?" Liu Banxia asked.

"The injury to the little finger is quite severe; it must have been crushed by a tire. I doubt it can be repaired. Heart and lung sounds are normal, vital signs are stable, pupils are equal on both sides, and reactive to light," Liu Yiqing said.

"The head wound needs debridement, and we’ll soon take an X-ray of the right hand, then send the patient for a head CT scan. Teacher Liu, is there anything else that needs to be done?"

"You’re the attending physician. You can decide for yourself; I’m just here to watch," Liu Banxia said.

Liu Yiqing pouted, hesitated a moment, and still ordered an ultrasound for the patient.

"Ultrasound is normal, and after checking the blood routine, cross-match, and ECG, the patient can be sent for a CT scan," Liu Yiqing said.

"It’s a familiar routine, what’s there to hesitate about? Take action when needed, no problem," Liu Banxia said earnestly.

The nurses in the emergency room suppressed their laughter.

Probably because, although the patient is currently unconscious, there are no signs of serious danger, right?

If there were any brain hemorrhage, the pupils would show certain symptoms now.

As for the little finger, there’s nothing that can be done. For an accident in traffic, this kind of injury can already be considered fortunate.

"Director Liu, we’ve contacted the family, and they’re on their way to the hospital. How’s he doing?"

When Liu Banxia came out, Ma Limin, who was waiting at the door, quickly asked.

"Currently, there’s no life-threatening condition, but the little finger of the right hand cannot be saved. Next, we will take a CT and perform an amputation and debridement on the little finger," Liu Banxia said.

"Thank goodness. Officer, can I leave now? I’ve left my contact number and deposited three thousand for hospital admission," the young driver said.

Ma Limin nodded, "Okay, just wait for our notification. I don’t think this is a scam, there’s no way of staging an accident like this."

She also has her considerations. Once the patient’s family arrives, they might argue with this driver or something, but this driver has been very cooperative.

"Officer Ma, haven’t you had time to go out with Wang Chao lately?" Liu Banxia asked.

"No time at all. I realized we met more often before we started dating," Ma Limin said, frustrated.

"Actually, you two grew up playing together and know each other very well. Why not skip those steps? If it feels right, just tie the knot and get married," Liu Banxia suggested.

"No way, we can’t skip those steps. We need to date officially. But his on-call shifts are such a hassle; where’s the time?" Ma Limin said.

"Earlier in our chat, he mentioned he’s a little anxious. He really adores our two kids," Liu Banxia said.

Ma Limin wrinkled her nose, "Him telling you about it is useless; he needs to tell me."

"Aren’t we good buddies? I can tell from his tone," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"No rush. Once he’s no longer on call, he’ll come to our second department. I’ll definitely make sure you both have time to have kids. I have to look after that,"

"Hmm, you... you’re too sneaky, trying to get me to talk." Halfway through the sentence, Ma Limin realized.

"Sometimes it’s like this, right? Two people are too familiar, and some words are difficult to say. Plus, both of you are quite busy, so maybe speeding things up is suitable," Liu Banxia said in a serious tone.

"Not to brag, but I’m practically half the matchmaker, right? So your affairs are my concern. Look, he’s so concerned, constantly peeking over here."

Following Liu Banxia’s gaze, Ma Limin saw Wang Chao peeking over.

"Director Liu, my dad used to say Wang Chao is very perceptive, but why do I feel he’s a bit silly?" Ma Limin asked.

"That silly side is just when he’s with you. To us, he’s quite astute. He’ll take care of some future administrative duties for our second department," Liu Banxia replied.

"So he’ll be even busier with no time at all," Ma Limin said.

"Don’t worry, all the work can be handled within the hospital," Liu Banxia reassured.

Ma Limin nodded, feeling a bit more at ease.

On the other hand, Wang Chao, seeing Liu Banxia and Ma Limin chatting and laughing, felt very worried.

He knows that Liu Banxia can be quite vengeful and might be throwing him under the bus. With Ma Limin’s short temper, what problems should he confess to?

Regardless, Wang Chao was worried sick and didn’t dare to get closer, almost scratching his head in anxiety.
