Ruan Xiaoqin was focused on her work with a furrowed brow.
Doctors have a lot to do every day, even as attending physicians, they can’t avoid it.
In the inpatient department, interns, residents in training, and resident doctors are the main workforce for odd jobs and basic tasks. Changing dressings, routine ward rounds, prescribing basic orders, writing medical records, and progress reports are all their responsibilities.
The attending physician’s tasks are a bit more advanced.
Important medical orders are definitely opened by the attending physician, and some may even need approval from the deputy chief physician or chief physician.
Then, the diagnosis and follow-up of important patients are handled by the attending physician.
For surgical patients, the work isn’t done once the surgery is over.
Post-operative management is equally crucial.
And the surgery schedule for routine cases is also set by the attending physician.
So, the attending physician is essentially the backbone of the department.
Li Jingsheng, after consulting her, directly booked two tickets online for the 8 PM show.
She chose the movie.
"Lost in the Celestial Palace"
It’s a tomb raider genre movie. In recent years, tomb raider movies and dramas have gained a wave of popularity, and people watch them for novelty, satisfying their curiosity.
Plus, it’s quite nice to catch up on some history in the process.
Tomb raider movies often contain elements of horror and eeriness.
Ou Qinglan picked such a movie late at night, suggesting she perhaps enjoys the thrill and adventure.
It’s quite different from many young girls’ preference for soap operas and romantic dramas.
Maybe being a doctor requires courage!
Just then, Li Jingsheng’s phone rang.
Seeing the number, it was Tang Ping calling.
She wouldn’t call Li Jingsheng casually unless something had happened at the clinic.
Li Jingsheng quickly picked up.
"Sister Tang, is something wrong with the clinic?"
To him, the clinic was the foundation and the bearer of his dreams, hoping nothing major was amiss.
"The landlady came by earlier, asking to discuss the lease renewal with you."
"Did she mention how much the rent will increase this year?"
Li Jingsheng asked.
Unknowingly, there’s only about a month left of the annual lease term.
According to the contract, the renewal must be done a month in advance.
Landlords are very savvy, surely unwilling to risk empty rent loss. If Li Jingsheng couldn’t renew, the landlord would have found someone else within a month.
"She didn’t specify the increase, just said she wants to discuss the renewal with you. Judging by her tone, it feels a bit ominous."
Tang Ping whispered.
The landlady is quite a tough woman, possibly noticing the booming business of Sunshine Clinic and hoping to seize the opportunity to raise the rent.
Judging by this, a 5% rent increase is almost impossible.
Li Jingsheng’s psychological limit is a 10% raise.
