Zhou Can was operating with Doctor Fu today and had a much more enjoyable time.
Many level-one minor surgeries were directly handed to Zhou Can.
However, since Doctor Fu's skills were mediocre and coupled with the psychological trauma from the incident with Dr. Lu last night, even though he let Zhou Can practice, he still stood by and watched.
He ultimately didn't dare to delegate fully like Dr. Xu, letting Zhou Can lead with just a nurse.
Additionally, Doctor Lin is quite ambitious.
He would pete with Zhou Can for surgeries that are slightly more challenging.
After all, with his seniority, Zhou Can had basically no chance in peting with him for surgeries that were of higher difficulty.
In the face of interests, no matter how fond Doctor Lin was of Zhou Can, he would prioritize himself.
Around 6 PM, Zhou Can's phone continuously vibrated.
Inside the operating room, setting the ringtone to silent was a necessary detail to be minded.
Otherwise, the sound of a ringtone or message notification could provoke the operating surgeon to scold people.
Even without scolding, just the piercing cold gaze from the surgeon could send chills down one's spine.
"Excuse me, I need to take a call!"
Zhou Can excused himself and then stepped outside the operating room to answer the call.
Note, there are typically at least two doors to an operating room.
After entering the first door, there is usually a changing room and duty room on the left, followed by a rather spacious hallway.
Only then would one enter the second door into the operating room.
Their operating room was considered the most basic kind. Just an ordinary operating room. Specialty operating rooms, the best ones being class 100 operating rooms, and the slightly lesser ones are at least class 100,000.
Performing surgeries in those operating rooms significantly reduces the chance of infections for both patients and doctors.
Some surgeries that require high antibacterial standards, such as valve replacements, heart surgeries, organ transplants, and other sophisticated operations, which also have high-risk factors and stringent antibacterial demands, must be conducted in class 100 laminar flow operating rooms.
"Hello Mr. Zhou, this is your tenant, Mr. He!"
"Hello Mr. He!"
Zhou Can had rented out three properties, and typically his tenants rarely disturbed him.
They were quite conscientious about paying rent.
"My lease on your property is about to end. My wife and I purchased a house and received it last month. After discussing it together, we decided to move into our own house. We won't be renewing the lease."
Mr. He and his wife, approaching forty, had struggled in the city for over a decade before finally purchasing their own home.
It had not been easy.
"Haha, that's great news! Living in your own home is certainly more reassuring than renting. Congratulations!"
Zhou Can laughed and congratulated him.
"Thank you, thank you! If it's convenient for you, could we meet to hand over the keys?"
"Sure! When would be a good time for you?"
"Uh... We are almost done moving our personal belongings, and my wife and I will clean up the house a bit more. I estimate we'll be done by around 8 PM. If you confirm you'll e, I'll wait here for you. If it's inconvenient, we can schedule a time tomorrow."
The quality of Mr. He and his wife was indeed quite high.
Tenants who would proactively clean up the house before leaving were rare.
"Then I'll e over around 8 PM."
After ending the call, Zhou Can returned to the operating room and waited until the surgery was finished. Then, he said to Doctor Fu, "Doctor Fu, I'm afraid I can only work until now this evening. I have some urgent matters to attend to at home."
"Go ahead!"
Doctor Fu readily agreed.
Having worked together for some time, Zhou Can felt that among the three supervising doctors, Director Lou, Dr. Xu, and Doctor Fu, Doctor Fu was the easiest to talk to.
After leaving the operating room, he didn't forget the promise he made to the nurses.
First, he popped into a bubble tea shop to take care of that.
Then, while the shift doctor at the scientific research and teaching building was still on duty, he bought five mice. If they had finished their shift, he wouldn't have been able to purchase any.
These experimental mice were not ordinary pet market hamsters.
Their breeding had strict requirements, including the pathogens they carried, the mice's vitality, weight, and other indicators.
Though expensive, laboratories would purchase them for experiments, or surgeons for practice such as anastomosis on mice's tails, dissection, and more.
Actually, mice were the cheapest options.
Monkeys, on the other hand, were more expensive.
The cheapest would cost around twenty thousand, and the recently scarce crab-eating monkey was incredibly difficult to acquire even at a price of one hundred sixty thousand per animal.
Looked at the time, it was not even seven o'clock yet, so he simply had dinner at the restaurant.
Then he returned the white rat to the dorm.
To his surprise, Jin Mingxi was not in the dorm.
Had he gone out to enjoy himself?
After work, as long as there were no emergency patients, doctors generally had a lot of freedom.
They were not like programmers, who were so busy that they didn't even have time for dating.
After putting away the white rat, he went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and headed directly to phase 1 of Xiangshan Garden in Bajing Lake.
About forty minutes later, he arrived smoothly at the entrance of the munity.
It was quite a distance from the hospital.
If it was during the rush hours, the taxi ride would take even longer due to severe traffic.
Fortunately, Metro Line 6 leads directly to his doorstep; muting by subway to work was much more convenient than taking a taxi — about 15 minutes to the hospital. Not only is it immune to traffic jams, but the muting costs are also much lower.
This was also one of the reasons why the real estate prices in Xiangshan Garden at Bajing Lake rose from about 6000 to 17,000 yuan per square meter.
After paying the taxi fare, Zhou Can walked towards the munity.
The infrastructure here was already very well developed, everywhere filled with the ambiance of a high-end neighborhood.
Especially the previously filthy and polluted, Bajing Lake.
After renovation, the water became clear. Scenic walking paths were built along the lake, with rows of willow trees draping down, presenting the grace and beauty of a gentle lady. In the lake, there was a gallery built over the water, accessible to an anciently styled octagonal pavilion at the lake's center.
Lotuses were planted in the shallow water area.
After being managed, the purple bamboo forest on the opposite shore had also bee scenic.
Bajing Lake truly became the "Eight Scenic Spots" — breathtaking lake and springtime scenery.
Developers are typically early risers only when there's profit.
When Zhou Can bought his house, the lake still had a dirty and smelly image. Later, when Metro Line 6 was planned here and property prices rose, the developers saw profit and decided to invest money to renovate the lake.
Then, Bajing Lake Xiangshan Garden phases two and three, Bajing Lake Villas, Bajing Lake Booming Era, among many other new properties, were built.
Of course, the prices of the later constructed properties were never below 10,000 yuan.
The earliest buyers of phase 1 of Xiangshan Garden at Bajing Lake made a fortune.
Zhou Can heard that there were some flats left in phase 1 with bad floors or poor lighting and interior structure, but they were eventually sold at over 8000 yuan per square meter.
He bought four units in one go; it was indeed a very successful investment.
He swiped his access card and entered the munity.
As it's a high-end munity, there's a specific design to separate vehicle and pedestrian traffic. You can see quite a few residents ing and going inside.
He bought four units, all in building 2A.
The layout was one elevator serving two units.
pared to those with one elevator for four units, it offered much better privacy protection and better lighting.
Both units on the fifth floor were his.
He remembered Mr. He rented No. 2501.
At the moment, the door was open.
Zhou Can knocked on the door.
Mr. He, who was cleaning the kitchen inside, immediately came out upon hearing the knock.
"Mr. Zhou is here! I've almost finished cleaning, only the cabinet doors in the kitchen are left."
Mr. He held a rag in his hand and wore an apron.
Sounds were still ing from the kitchen.
Presumably, his wife was busy.
A little girl, about five or six years old, timidly peered out half her head from the kitchen, her bright eyes secretly sizing up Zhou Can.
Zhou Can casually glanced around the room, the furniture, walls, and appliances were all well cared for.
Generally, in households with children, kids like to randomly scribble on walls, sofas, and other places.
Keeping the house in such good condition was already very mendable.
"You moved in right after getting the house, aren't you worried about the pollution from renovations affecting your health? Especially since your child is so young," Zhou Can just kindly reminded.
He had no intention of letting them continue renting.
Some owners, desperate to move into their newly renovated houses, neglect the pollution from harmful gases like formaldehyde and benzene.
Children's resistance is much weaker than adults.
There were even children who, living in new houses, were diagnosed with leukemia in less than four months.
Such tragedies are heartbreaking.
