My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 131 - 95: Can’t Look Down on Anyone, Another Advanced Medical Skill_2

The income is low, but the Emergency Department is never short on things to do.

Busy to death all day long.

Patients come and go in waves, one after another, in a constant cycle.

"You reckon how much Dr. Lu makes in a month?" Zhou Can asked curiously.

Trainees are like half-student, half-worker, it's good enough to have a basic income. So he had no clue about the incomes of other formal doctors.

But you could roughly calculate the basic salary.

"It's hard to say. The income fluctuates monthly, and the hidden income is tricky to estimate as well. But looking at our Emergency Department, I'd say he definitely doesn't make more than ten thousand a month."

Jin Mingxi's income estimate should be quite accurate.

After all, he had been an attending physician at People's Hospital for several years, almost qualified for senior consultant.

He surely knew most of the ways to make extra money.

"That day, Dr. Lu was late and played poor, begging Dr. Xu for leniency—you were also there. Do you think he really bought a house?"

Zhou Can was even more curious about this.

"Nowadays, the cheapest housing prices in this provincial capital city are close to nine thousand per square meter, and the higher-end ones are close to twenty-one thousand. He's a senior resident doctor, so it's unlikely he paid in full for a house. But since he was willing to buy such an expensive car, it's very likely he made a down payment for a house. A mortgage of six to seven hundred thousand, with a thirty-year loan, monthly payment would be just over three thousand, not exceeding four thousand. At least 500 thousand could be borrowed from the housing provident fund, so his payment pressure isn't too big."

Jin Mingxi did the math.

It's pretty certain that Dr. Lu has bought a house.

Never judge a book by its cover, he had indeed underestimated Dr. Lu before.

Zhou Can thought Dr. Lu's financial situation wouldn't be that good.

But the guy's got both a car and a house.

Even if it's on a mortgage, that's quite impressive.

These days, if your credit isn't good, banks won't lend you a cent.

Since Dr. Lu wasn't that poor, yet resorted to exaggeratedly begging Dr. Xu to let off his late penalty fee, it showed that the man was very hypocritical.

Zhou Can gained a deeper understanding of this person.

As they talked, Dr. Lu waved to a rather pretty young woman.

The woman ran over, chatted with Dr. Lu for a bit, then hopped directly into the car.

"What a scumbag!"

Zhou Can couldn't help cursing.

"Aren't men supposed to be a bit fickle? You're taking it too seriously," Jin Mingxi commented from the side.

Zhou Can turned to look at him, a meaningful scrutiny on his face.

"Hey, why that look?" Jin Mingxi felt a bit uncomfortable.

"Dr. Jin, you're so eager to defend a playboy. Don't tell me it's because you've got something going on with that girl, Ye?" Zhou Can teased him, digging for secrets.

"Off you go! What kind of logic is that? In today's society, material desires are rampant, there are plenty of jerks and jerkettes, but also many who are faithful to love, okay?"

Jin Mingxi's face turned slightly red, his eyes somewhat evasive, seemingly trying to hide something.

Moreover, he was vigorously trying to declare his innocence, which inevitably made one wonder.

Zhou Can could only pray for that sister-in-law he had yet to meet, hoping that Jin Mingxi would stay true to love in this flamboyant world.

"You're married, do you think Dr. Lu is married?"

Zhou Can changed the subject.

It's best not to delve into matters the other person is trying to conceal.

Even if they got on well.

"It's hard to say. But he seems like a pro at chasing women. Many men and women today are in it for fun and not rushing into marriage. That woman who got into his car, she must be either a nurse or a doctor from our hospital, definitely not a patient. And did you notice? She sat in the passenger seat and had a rather explicit smile on her face. She and Dr. Lu must've known each other for quite a while and probably are in some kind of boyfriend-girlfriend relationship."

Jin Mingxi shared his opinion.

"Ha, it's you married folks who have a keen eye. Can tell if it's a boyfriend-girlfriend deal with just one glance."

Zhou Can gave him a thumbs up.

At least he, a virgin who hadn't even properly dated yet, couldn't tell just from a girl's look unless he saw Dr. Lu hugging the girl, or holding hands, arm in arm, that he could confirm their relationship.

They didn't bother with Dr. Lu's private matters anymore and went to the market, buying fifty pounds of carrots each.

The vegetable seller thought they were running a restaurant, seeing them buy so many carrots.

Left them a business card, said they could deliver next time if they wanted more.

That really left them both crying and laughing.

They took a cab and carried the carrots back to their apartment.

"Wow, you guys planning to have a carrot-cutting competition or something?"

The doctors living in the same apartment building were stunned by their grand setup.

A big bag of carrots like that, a regular surgeon could practice for at least ten days to half a month.

Back at the apartment, Zhou Can couldn't wait to start cutting the carrots with a scalpel.

But he quickly realized it wasn't easy to swiftly cut the thick carrots with a narrow blade. Moreover, there are multiple types of mechanical traditional scalpels.

It's impossible to practice just one type of cutting technique.

There's also the reverse hook, horizontal cut, slash and drag, and so on.

The problem is, he can't even do the simplest and most brute-force straight cut well yet.

It's not that his skills are poor, but that the carrots are too thick and quite tough. Cutting them is much harder than imagined.

They don't have the same resilience as human tissues, they're brittle, and the difference in hand feel is immense
