This isn’t an earth-shattering, awe-inspiring surgery; if it were in Zhou Shuwen’s hands, people wouldn’t even discuss it.

But in Liu Banxia’s hands, it holds quite a different significance.

There aren’t many surgeries of this type performed, but this surgery was executed so solidly, showcasing deep expertise.

Don’t forget, Liu Banxia is still very young. At his age, in society, he’s considered among the middle-aged.

But in the hospital? He’s genuinely young.

In the past two years, Liu Banxia has consistently surprised everyone, and each wave is stronger than the last.

Recently, for over a month, he has been "neglecting duties" by observing pediatric surgeries at the children’s hospital. Yet, upon return, he easily completed an uncomplicated pancreatic tail resection.

Even if it isn’t as complex as pancreaticoduodenectomy, and not as daunting as total pancreatic removal, for many, it’s still an extraordinary surgery.

Anyway, on his way back from dinner, all who heard the news would offer congratulations.

This also reflects to some extent his current popularity, which has significantly grown compared to before.

Just as he returned to the emergency center, Liu Banxia’s phone rang.

"Chief Director Ning, this is Liu Banxia."

Liu Banxia quickly answered.

"Director Liu, are you busy now?" Ning Yuanqian asked.

"I’m not busy, just finished eating. Is it about the things we discussed before New Year?" Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"It’s precisely that matter. You’ve been busy recently, so I didn’t bring it up. Shall we chat for a bit now?" Ning Yuanqian inquired.

"Chief Director Ning, in principle, I believe it is indeed necessary to have some degree of cooperation between us." Liu Banxia said.

"Currently, our collaboration with Jinshui District Hospital is going well; the only slight issue is that my schedule is really tight now."

"Director Liu, rest assured, the surgery schedule on our side can fully accommodate your time." Ning Yuanqian hurriedly said.

"Chief Director Ning, you’re too kind, we can definitely coordinate the time." Liu Banxia replied.

"For now, our cooperation with Jinshui District Hospital is mainly focused on NOSES surgeries. We have a few other laparoscopic surgeries handled by other people in our emergency center."

"This has already consumed some energy, and my idea is that after we cooperate, we should also focus on NOSES surgeries. We can put other surgeries aside for now."

"That’s not a problem, but I think we can also discuss small incision appendectomies." Ning Yuanqian suggested.

"Even though we can’t control acute appendicitis patients, there are chronic appendicitis patients needing removal, and I think your students should handle them well."

"Moreover, such scheduled surgeries tend to be more adjustable in timing. We’ll also arrange the operating rooms to minimize turnover time."

"This way, even if it’s surgery day, more can be done without wasting too much of your time. If possible, we can also arrange a car to pick you up the night before, allowing an earlier start the next day."

"Thank you, Chief Director Ning, your support is immense. For now, why don’t you draft a cooperation agreement focusing on NOSES surgeries and small incision appendectomies." Liu Banxia suggested.

"For other surgeries, we can address them in supplementary notes later. Currently, I can guarantee at least one day a month, but I really can’t promise more."

"Recently, I’ve been learning pediatric general surgery, which has consumed a lot of energy. Really busy, initially I thought I could visit at least every half month."

"Once a month is doable, let’s leave it at that, we’ll start drafting an agreement here." Ning Yuanqian agreed.

Now his heart is truly settled, seeing such good resources not properly utilized would make him uneasy.

The promotion of NOSES surgery is at the forefront nationwide. He hardly imagined before that such a project could happen in his own hospital.

It’s just a small county-level city, but with the promotion of this surgery, he feels confident competing with hospitals in prefecture-level cities on colorectal cancer.

He realizes that to facilitate this cooperation, the emergency center needs plenty of benefits, even personal advantages might be necessary.

This is irrelevant now; it’s about developing a lasting relationship, and with prolonged cooperation, connections will naturally build.

A patient’s fee isn’t just surgery; there are medications and nursing fees. No matter the profit margin given and conveniences provided to Liu Banxia, the hospital won’t lose money.

Actually, he hasn’t mentioned yet that three wards have been specifically allocated to accommodate patients eligible for NOSES surgery.

The last surgery Liu Banxia performed showed excellent postoperative outcomes. The results were witnessed firsthand, so they understand why this technique is so highly regarded.

That’s why this time feels more pressing, they didn’t wait for Liu Banxia to speak, promising a basket of perks instead.

After Liu Banxia hung up the phone, he stretched lazily, and Xu Yino quickly poured him some water.

"What’s up?"

Liu Banxia asked.

"Teacher Liu, you’re working so hard, you need to have a good rest." Xu Yino said.

They clearly heard it just now, a small incision appendectomy. This is definitely not something Liu Banxia will do now, it will be their turn to step up.

This is a great opportunity to make up for the mortgage and escape the fate of being a house slave early, can’t miss it.

"Actually, it’s not too bad, not too tiring." Liu Banxia took a sip of water.

"Teacher Liu, how do we arrange it at that time?" Xu Yino asked tentatively.

"How else to arrange it, take turns." Liu Banxia said.

"Then we’ll make minor adjustments according to your schedules. Normally, there can be two to three cases a month. If there are more, we will add one more person."

"But you all need to be mentally prepared, it’s definitely going to be tough. Go over there ahead of time, rest well and go on stage directly in the morning, so you won’t waste too much time during the day."

"Hehe, it’s not tough, it’s not tough, as long as there’s money to earn. Teacher Liu, what kind of ratio can we get?" Xu Yino asked again.

"I really can’t say about this, but one thing is certain, in the short term, the hospital won’t have any deductions for this." Liu Banxia said. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

"Of course, you’ll also have to figure out the travel expenses yourself. We’re responsible for our own profits and losses, can’t just expect to gain from the hospital."

"It’s basically the same as the cooperation with Jinshui District Hospital, except that Jinshui District Hospital is closer, while my hometown’s hospital is farther."

"But I’ll remind you, this will only last about a year. Later on, there will be adjustments, especially when you can perform some less difficult NOSES surgeries."

Xu Yino nodded happily, not caring about anything else, just satisfied with such benefits.

Then she ignored Liu Banxia and started chatting quietly with Liu Yiqing.

Liu Banxia didn’t mind them, for them, it was indeed a good project to increase their income. It may be tough, but for the sake of earning money, they had to persist.

"Why are they so happy?"

While resting, Shi Lei walked in.

"Chief Director Ning from my hometown’s hospital just called, and he is also very much looking forward to our cooperation, even added small incision appendectomy." Liu Banxia said.

"That’s why they’re so happy, it’s clearly giving them benefits. They’re a bunch of little money lovers, and they don’t think to show me any respect."

"You, you’re just saying that. Are you saying you haven’t been in contact with them for so long, just waiting for them to ask first?" Shi Lei said with a smile.

"Haha, maybe a bit. But honestly, I’ve been quite busy lately, just finished up, planning to rest for a couple of days." Liu Banxia said.

"Now I feel tired, it’s not short-term fatigue, but constant fatigue for so long. By the time I get home during this period, the babies are already asleep."

"No way? Their surgeries go that late?" Shi Lei asked in surprise.

"Sometimes it goes a bit late, but sometimes I also need to walk through the wards to check on postoperative care." Liu Banxia said.

"Postoperative care in pediatric surgery is much more important than in adults. Because their immunity is too weak, if a small symptom is not noticed, it could lead to bigger problems."

"Anyway, they’re very serious about it over there, I’ll talk with Dr. Chen later. I guess in the future, even if we’re serious about getting into pediatric surgery, he’ll have to manage this area."

"Basically, he’s our emergency center’s choice for pediatrics, and he mentioned that the hospital intends to strengthen the pediatrics department again this year."

"That’s great, honestly, even up to now, I’m still a bit nervous when receiving young patients." Shi Lei said.

"By the way, has there been any improvement in the PTSD patient you received before? It’s been a while, should be more or less improved, right?"

"There’s been improvement, her condition wasn’t very severe. But it will be a long-term process, now focusing on adjusting her sleep." Liu Banxia said.

"Sleep is really important, without enough sleep, the body won’t be fully restored, and problems will arise sooner or later."

"Sigh... we all have to endure slowly." Shi Lei sighed.

They also count as those lacking sleep, working in the emergency center, the timing is hard to control.

But they were quite happy for the six little ones, at least they could stand on their own, even if it’s currently limited to small incision appendectomy.

Doesn’t everything come gradually? Liu Banxia was the same at first.
