Chapter 1110: Chapter 1110: Xu Yino’s Little Scheme
Having perfectly rescued an emergency patient, Liu Banxia was in a pretty good mood.
Even though the patient hadn’t overcome the critical period and there was a possibility of vital signs drastically dropping, that was all for the ICU to handle. Their reception work below was still done quite well.
After waiting a little longer, it was time to eat, so Liu Banxia returned to Qiaoqiao’s ward.
Already forgot once, from now on, there’s no way I can forget again.
"You know, Doudou really cares about our two little babies, sitting beside them and watching for quite a while," Qiaoqiao said cheerfully.
"That’s really nice. In the future, it depends on whether our first child is lucky. If lucky, Doudou will entertain us at our house," Liu Banxia said seriously.
"Can you two even be considered decent? If you’re fond of someone, be fond of your own child, don’t think about our Doudou," Wang Jingxian shouted helplessly.
"Haha, Sister Xian, you can’t control this. Once our first child grows up, we’ll bring Doudou to our home," Qiaoqiao said.
"Exactly, as they say, a grown man should marry and a grown woman should wed. Although they’re still young, we should set a small goal," Liu Banxia added.
"I’m really convinced by you guys. Qiaoqiao, I don’t think there’s much wrong with you. Maybe you should just go back home tomorrow to save us from running back and forth," Wang Jingxian said.
"No way, I want to stay here for a few more days. It’s so nice here, everything is readily available, and I don’t have to be taken care of with much effort," Qiaoqiao said.
"Mom, Auntie Tong, I’m telling you both to just head back tonight. I’m fine now, luckily I chose natural delivery. Sister Huang said I’m recovering fast."
"Only you would do this, treating the hospital like home. No one else could pull this off," Wang Xiaoyan said with a laugh.
"Our director reaching for the stars is back, so should we arrange our lunch now? I’m starving. Had a bit too much to drink in last night’s joy, and didn’t manage to grab breakfast this morning."
"Haha, we completely rely on him to take care of the kids in the middle of the night. Sometimes it’s not about being hungry. Isn’t it starting to get stinky already? We should pay more attention," Qiaoqiao said.
"Banxia doesn’t dare to hold the kids yet?" Qiu Huaili asked with a laugh.
"Haven’t held them properly yet, but I did hold hands with them," Liu Banxia said, trying to be tough.
"No worries, after dinner, hold them for a bit. You know how to hold them, so nothing to worry about," Peng Xiuqin said.
"Sigh... It’s precisely because I know too much. Whenever I think about holding them, I’m afraid of using too much strength," Liu Banxia said.
"Let’s eat first, you’ve all been waiting for me. After I’m full, I’ll have a showdown with the two of them. I must get them settled obediently. Doudou, don’t you agree?"
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Doudou thought for a moment and then nodded his little head.
He actually didn’t quite understand, but he figured nodding couldn’t be wrong.
The food was still the canteen’s, and Qiaoqiao had her separate postpartum meals. It could also be brought from Jinbao, but it’s a bit far and the dishes would go cold.
Zhou Qiang’s culinary skills are quite good, and since they’re usually close, ordering from him is just right.
During the meal, Liu Banxia seemed a bit restless, eventually ending up putting all the dishes on his rice and sitting by the two babies to eat while watching them.
"Sigh... It’s tough on Banxia. Clearly very concerned but not daring to hold them," Wang Jingxian said.
"Sister Xian, don’t worry about him. He’ll eventually do it himself," Qiaoqiao said nonchalantly.
"I’ve never held such a tiny baby, only held Doudou before. But it’s really troublesome; these two eat so much, I can hardly manage."
"These postpartum meals are really tough to eat. I thought the hard part was over after giving birth, but I still have to manage their eating and drinking. Feels like they’ll rely on me forever—when will it end?"
"Haha, it’s just the beginning. Wait until they grow a bit more to see how they torment you," Wang Jingxian said.
"Honey, should we get some milk formula for them tomorrow?" Liu Banxia suggested.
"No, I want to hold on for a few more days, let them have it for at least a week," Qiaoqiao replied.
"Everyone says it’s better for the body. I’m just starting to lactate, and I can handle it for now. But the food is really hard to eat—I really want to munch on smoked chicken with you guys."
While saying this, Qiaoqiao also picked up a bowl of pork leg soup with peanuts and drank a big gulp.
If it were normal food, it would be delicious. But this is postpartum food, with hardly any salt, making it a bit cloying.
The pork leg is also tasty, but without much seasoning, it doesn’t taste as nice.
This is the difficulty of being a mother, and Qiaoqiao is so determined to provide the best service for the two little ones.
Liu Banxia, sitting beside, heard it all but didn’t dare say anything. Nothing he can do about it, just like the matter of giving birth.
However, he ate at a super-fast pace today, quickly finishing all the food.
Seriously rinsing his mouth and washing his hands, he then stood with a stern face beside the two little babies, just waiting for them to cry so he could jump in directly.
He was prepared, but his two treasures were just not giving him any face. Just sleeping, not crying, not fussing, just sleeping.
"Hahaha, this is killing me with laughter, how come they are sleeping so well this time?" Wang Xiaoyan, watching from the side, was delighted.
"Sigh... I understand now, those three are a team, I’m an outsider." Liu Banxia sighed.
"You two just wait, when I get off work tonight, see how I’ll deal with you. Little ones, no dinner for you, let mom have a good rest."
It seemed like the second baby responded to his voice, she pouted her lips.
Liu Banxia was overjoyed, crying, cry freely.
But in the end, it was just false joy; the second baby might have been dreaming, she didn’t intend to cry.
"Sigh... hoped for nothing. Honey, get some good rest, I’ll go to work now." Liu Banxia said.
Qiaoqiao nodded with a smile, feeling superior, these two babies were on her team.
"Teacher Liu, the patient’s condition is currently stable." Just as he returned to the lobby, Liu Yiqing came over.
"Looks like his luck is still with him, keep working hard; when the family arrives, I hope for a better result." Liu Banxia nodded.
Now, it’s about his luck.
The monitoring in the ICU is all by procedure, able to provide him with the best care and treatment. But it’s not like just because you administer medicine, it’ll work immediately, an increase in blood potassium levels takes time.
"Teacher Liu, how’s the little baby doing now?" Xu Yino also ran over.
"Sleeping all the time, didn’t give me a chance to hold them. Thought you two might come see them at noon. Did you admit a patient?" Liu Banxia asked.
"I ate early today, knowing you’d have lunch with the teacher’s wife, I couldn’t get a meal." Xu Yino said.
"But there really is a patient whose situation seems a bit complex. Initially wanted to find Teacher Xu Hui, but you’re here, so it’s fine. A 33-year-old female, presenting with hemoptysis."
"The result of the auscultation showed some moist rales in the left lower lung, other than that, no obvious abnormalities. Then I asked her to have a CT scan, and the result showed multiple patchy ground-glass opacities in both lungs, mainly in the lower lungs."
"Then I supplemented with blood routine, liver and kidney function, electrolyte tests, although the results haven’t come out yet. Oh, and there’s a history of tuberculosis in the family. But it’s her uncle, not immediate family."
"Where’s the film?" Liu Banxia asked.
Xu Yino hurried to pull it up on the computer.
Liu Banxia took a glance, "Currently, the bronchus still looks pretty good, no signs of dilation. However, from the current situation, it can only be judged as pneumonia, how severe it is, or what type, cannot be determined yet."
"Waiting for further laboratory results, but I think tuberculosis could be considered as a secondary case; tuberculosis patients often have symptoms in the upper part of the lungs and lung tops."
"By the way, how’s the patient’s physique? Any signs of emaciation, night sweats, low fever? Tuberculosis patients often have these symptoms too."
"Her complexion isn’t very discernible, the patient is wearing makeup. But her physique is still quite good, decent body shape. No night sweats or low fever, the other symptom is fatigue." Xu Yino replied hurriedly.
"At first, the patient thought it was a cold with cough, took cold medicine and antibiotics at home for a few days. Yesterday found hemoptysis, still happening today, so she’s scared now."
Liu Banxia nodded, "So many possible causes, even if the current CT images don’t support lung cancer or bronchiectasis, still wait for the lab data."
"Until the cause of the illness is truly identified, anything is possible. Perhaps even metastatic pulmonary cancer? But for now, focus more on the pneumonia, after seeing the film, this is the inference I can make."
"Haha, Teacher Liu, actually I’m just torn about which instrument to check next." Xu Yino said.
"Should I do an acid-fast bacillus test, PPD test, bronchoscopy, and also stool test for parasite eggs? Wasn’t there a similar case before; parasite eggs were too small, not visible on CT?"
"You’ve already considered it all, why come to ask me?" Liu Banxia asked.
"The key is I don’t know which to do first, or whether to do them all." Xu Yino said with a wry face.
"If it was just a cough without hemoptysis, I’d diagnose pneumonia. Now the hemoptysis catches my attention, could indicate something major."
"So, still need to wait for the lab data. But coming to me doesn’t help, doesn’t meet the criteria for urgent processing." Liu Banxia said.
Xu Yino’s face immediately fell.
Beside them, Liu Yiqing was left covering her mouth in amusement, Xu Yino’s little trick was just that. He thought he could catch the Demon King’s interest to arrange an urgent case.
Unfortunately, the Demon King has a heart of stone, won’t initiate that unless it meets the relevant criteria.
