Chapter 1445: Chapter 1445: Chen Xuehai "Throwing Cold Water

"Actually, for many people, when we start working, we may encounter such situations."

Liu Banxia continued.

"Because we have to treat many patients, not every family is wealthy. Facing high medical costs can really be helpless."

"Then some classmates might wonder, if that’s the case, why can’t we reduce some costs for the patients? After all, this is a human life, and life is priceless."

"How should we address this issue? I think unless your family invests in a hospital, only then can you help every family in need."

"And as a public hospital, the priority should be to help more patients. If operational issues arise, how can we talk about helping others?"

"Returning to this patient, although the side effects of shock therapy are quite significant, it is indeed effective."

"So the treatments we’re providing are not disregarding the patients; there is a fundamental difference. Moreover, all examination and treatment plans have been communicated with the patients themselves."

"Going in circles and having talked about money, it seems a bit off-topic from today’s theme, doesn’t it? But don’t blame me; blame Director Xia, who started this, prompting me to speak honestly."

The students below began to laugh, as the previous topic was heavy; now, it seemed to be moving to a lighter segment, right?

Listening to the seniors talk, Teacher Liu’s lectures are really interesting and quite enlightening.

Although the previous topic was somewhat heavy, it certainly was inspiring.

"Next, I’ll give my formal encouragement." Liu Banxia said after taking a sip of water.

"Is there any student brave enough to say that their future career direction is pediatric surgery? Let me see how many of you there are."

The room fell silent for a moment, followed by students looking around.

After waiting for a while, Liu Banxia waved his hand, "As I expected, just a handful. This is quite normal, which is why we come over to give encouragement."

"Pediatric surgery is a developing field, but for us doctors, it’s not that unfamiliar. Previously, when we treated patients, we didn’t distinguish between pediatric and adult patients."

"Our duty is to heal and save lives, whoever comes in is a patient. We don’t look at their age or social status, we face their ailments."

"However, because children’s conditions are quite unique, there are more aspects to be careful about during procedures, making this field seem challenging."

"We work at the Second Hospital’s Emergency Center, which has far fewer advantages compared to specialized hospitals—almost none. Especially with general pediatric surgery, I even trained for a month at the Third Hospital."

"But I am confident and bold in encouraging you because we have our own unique advantages; we can handle the entire general surgery."

"Isn’t it interesting? While we cater mostly to emergency patients and serve the pediatric and maternity departments within the emergency center, we still find it relatively relaxed."

"Regarding general surgery work, I can’t just brag here. We have achieved minor successes, and perhaps in the future, many more."

"This is our advantage, although seemingly insignificant, it’s still an advantage. At our Emergency Center, almost everyone covers multiple roles."

"I used to say, working at the Emergency Center is like challenging a hell-level difficulty in life. It’s exhausting and tough, that’s basic. Yet beyond that, there’s a profound satisfaction."

"The nature of this satisfaction is hard to describe. To borrow a popular phrase, it’s something you feel but can’t express. After performing a surgery on a newborn, my joy exceeds that of performing a liver transplant."

"Not joking, it’s real. Because I feel that I have intervened in their life, altering it to a certain extent during their beginnings."

"Even when I decided to delve into pediatric general surgery, I had a significant psychological barrier. But there was no choice, had to proceed; after doing it, it seems quite intriguing."

"Alright, that’s as much as I can encourage you. Next, let’s welcome our Emergency Center’s Deputy Director Chen Xuehai, who is also the director of cardiothoracic surgery, his reputation far surpasses mine."

After Liu Banxia finished speaking, he stepped aside, and Chen Xuehai walked up.

Actually, many students below were curious about Chen Xuehai, because to them, Liu Banxia from the Emergency Center was the famous one.

"Hello everyone, my purpose here is to recruit new members." Chen Xuehai stood at the edge of the podium.

"Pediatric surgeries, whether general or cardiothoracic, are more complex than those on adults. The pressure exerted on the surgeon naturally increases."

"Yet, as Director Liu mentioned, the satisfaction and fulfillment are truly substantial. I had the honor of leading a few congenital heart disease surgeries, with promising outcomes for those little patients."

"Occasionally, we exchange emails and observing them living normal lives fills me with pride."

"While everyone walks through life, those affected by congenital diseases miss out on enjoying normal lives and face life-threatening risks."

"Our participation goes beyond merely alleviating pain; it substantially alters life paths. This inevitably draws numerous people to research pediatric surgeries."

"Given the surface knowledge of our Second Hospital’s Emergency Center, those who slightly understand us see our management as somewhat ’disorganized’."

"Since many surgeons at the center also handle internal medicine, and internal doctors tackle some surgical tasks."

"This dual-role requirement is indeed hectic, seemingly chaotic. However, our goal remains: patient priority. We won’t let the absence of an anesthesiologist prevent us from conducting intubation rescues."

"Pediatric surgeries follow this principle too, as not every child qualifies for a transfer to another hospital. What do we do? Proceed."

"The six young talents rumored in the martial world have proven results and currently excel in general surgery."

"Our approach in pediatric surgery will adopt this training style, but you’ll be busier, juggling various surgical roles too."

"Our people at the Second Hospital’s Emergency Center must be versatile. If you lack these standards, regardless of your perseverance, you may be eliminated."

"Clarifying one issue, we need people but not those idling away. Without a clear work objective, your growth stagnates."

"Here, we hope students consider the pediatric surgery direction if appropriate in the future. But understand, such choices require careful deliberation."

"Our foundation isn’t as established as specialized hospitals like the Third Hospital. Our development in this sector is delayed, still exploratory."

"One thing that’s clear: both Director Liu and I are committed to this sector. Even without new members joining, we’ll persist."

"Learning resembles rowing against the tide; without progress, you’re pushed back. At our Emergency Center, rest assured that learning something won’t mean relaxation."

"Then you’ll realize what you grasp now is merely a phase target. Many new challenges await your pursuit."

"My primary purpose here is reality orientation. Concerned you might join impetuously due to Director Liu’s encouragement."

"We reject such impulsivity; decisions need contemplation. Medical training is grueling enough; joining our Emergency Center means embarking on an overwhelming path."

"Regret might not be an option, as we might eliminate you before you reconsider."

"A mutual waste of time costing you more significantly. That’s all I’ll say today."

"We hope more join our team, but we need those fully dedicated, not merely seeking a stepping-stone. Thank you."

Following his speech, Chen Xuehai briskly departed.

Liu Banxia watched backstage. He wasn’t expecting Chen Xuehai to come and douse enthusiasm.

"Was this planned?" Liu Banxia asked.

Chen Xuehai nodded, "The current state of the six young talents is exceptionally distinctive, fueling too much hype for our Emergency Center. Cooling down enthusiasm for clear thinking is beneficial."

"It makes sense, otherwise we’d be squandering a lot of our time," Liu Banxia nodded.

Listening nearby, Director Xia felt quite sentimental. Although these two are deputy directors of the Emergency Center, if they decide something, Zhou Shuwen, the chief director, will support it.

Though today’s lecture wasn’t as crowded as before, its effectiveness was notable. These students listened, making it successful."
