The placenta was removed and the uterine cavity wiped clean. After carefully observing the edges of the uterine incision, he sutured the uterus. He then cleaned and sutured the abdominal cavity.
He carried out every step strictly according to standard procedure. While not very fast, he was meticulous. Moreover, he was much more careful suturing this patient than he normally was.
After closing the abdomen, Liu Banxia picked up saline solution and cleaned all the contaminants from the patient's skin.
Ding! Suturing completed. Received 300 experience points, suturing proficiency increased by 300 points.
Congratulations to the host for leveling up to Level 12 (10,225/11,440). Gained 1 attribute point and 5 Glory Points.
After carefully wiping the area, Liu Banxia pulled the sheet over the body on the operating table.
Liang Xiaolin bit her lip. She had witnessed everything Liu Banxia had done and had participated in the entire rescue. But now, her feelings toward him were more complicated.
She had always been considered a prodigy, never ranking outside the top three in any exam. Her one weakness, however, was her subpar practical skills.
She was infuriated that Liu Banxia had yelled at her earlier. Given the patient's condition, no one could have performed the intubation, regardless of their skill. What right did he have to yell at me?
She had initially intended to confront Liu Banxia, but after watching his subsequent procedures, she found herself unconsciously captivated.
Every stitch he made was perfect, something I could never achieve, she thought. Not only was his suturing flawless, but he was also incredibly fast. His work could serve as a teaching demonstration, and he was so focused.
Closing an abdominal incision wasn't as simple as stitching a surface wound. Different organs and tissues required different suturing techniques.
Recalling Liu Banxia's declaration, "I'll take full responsibility for all consequences," she couldn't help but find it somewhat cool.
Then, seeing Liu Banxia standing there in a daze after finishing the sutures, she grew very curious about what he would do next.
"What are you looking at?"
Coming to his senses, Liu Banxia, who was about to leave, saw Liang Xiaolin staring unblinkingly at him. Her large eyes, already prominent, startled him.
Liang Xiaolin snorted coldly, still staring at him defiantly. Any good impression I had is gone.
Liu Banxia rolled his eyes.
She's cute, like a cartoon character—makes you want to ruffle her hair and pinch her nose, he thought. But she might also be seriously crazy.
"Shoutian, are you going to see the patient's family? They just arrived and are with the baby now," Wang Ying said, walking over.
"Ah, Sister Wang, I don't think I can. I feel... overwhelmed," Liu Banxia said, shaking his head with a rueful smile.
"And this one," Liu Banxia gestured towards Liang Xiaolin, "this unidentified lifeform claiming to be a doctor—get her registered properly. She was involved in the resuscitation just now. I'm afraid Old Qin will give me hell for it. Sister Wang, what's going on today? Why is it so chaotic? I couldn't find anyone."
Wang Ying also gave a rueful smile and shook her head. This is the awkward reality of our Emergency Department at the Second Hospital not having its own dedicated attending physician.
Things were somewhat manageable for internal medicine, but surgery was another story. Delays there could significantly impact the emergency department's operations.
Actually, given the Second Hospital's current capabilities, truly critical patients weren't even sent here by the emergency center. They went directly to Binhai City Hospital or the First Hospital. The Second Hospital's strengths lay in cardiothoracic and general surgery.
"Hello, my name is Liang Xiaolin. I'm a new resident physician. I completed my registration with the Human Resources Department yesterday," Liang Xiaolin said to Wang Ying.
"Hello, Doctor Liang. You can fill out your records with me in a bit. Let me show you where you can wash up first," Wang Ying said with a smile.
"Thank you," Liang Xiaolin said politely, then followed Wang Ying out.
Still harboring some resentment toward Liu Banxia, she shot him a glare as they passed.
This act, however, made her lose focus, and she failed to watch her step. The area, recently used for emergency treatment, had a large puddle of blood and amniotic fluid on the floor.
"AHH!" Liang Xiaolin cried out as her foot slipped, and she fell backward.
Liu Banxia's attention, however, had already drifted elsewhere. Yet, catching Liang Xiaolin's fall from the corner of his eye, he instinctively shot out his left arm, catching her around the waist.
However, Liu Banxia had overestimated his strength and underestimated Liang Xiaolin's weight. Her instinctive struggling threw off his center of gravity.
His stamina was already low, and his strength was subpar. So, with everyone watching, they both tumbled to the ground.
Liu Banxia reacted quickly. Worried Liang Xiaolin might hit the back of her head, he managed to cushion it with his left hand. The impact sent a jolt of pain through his hand and knees.
"You... shameless! Let go!" Liang Xiaolin hissed, her face burning with embarrassment. I want to punch him!
Even though he probably saved me from a worse fall, he needs to get up! What is his hand still doing there?
"Mm? Oh..." Liu Banxia grunted, helping Liang Xiaolin up, feeling a bit exasperated himself.
Liang Xiaolin had never been humiliated like this. No matter how strong-willed she usually was, she felt utterly wronged. She stared defiantly at Liu Banxia, her large eyes welling up with tears.
It all happened so fast. To the onlookers, it looked as though the two had simply passed each other and then inexplicably tumbled to the ground together.
Moreover, it appeared Liu Banxia was still holding Liang Xiaolin in his arms.
Zhou Li slapped her forehead. Shoutian is too bold!
Even if he likes this girl, he can't do something like this in public! Saving someone is commendable, but he can't take advantage of the situation!
He just yelled at Director Qin, who left looking furious. If Director Qin sees him like this now, he can forget about ever working in the Emergency Department again!
No wonder she misunderstood. Even though she hadn't seen exactly how they fell, she saw the aftermath.
Normally, they would have stood up immediately, but they lingered on the ground for over half a minute! This isn't some idol drama shoot where they need to hold a pose for different camera angles!
Even though she knew Liu Banxia well, she couldn't help but think he was taking advantage of the girl's beauty.
It really highlighted how crucial one's viewpoint was; in this situation, misunderstandings were almost inevitable.
