Chapter 14: The Proprietress
"Whew......"
After taking a deep breath, John only felt that his whole body was filled with a feeling called comfort, and he couldn't help but close his eyes as if he were enjoying it. After coming back for so long, he came to the hospital for the first time, and the familiar smell suddenly made him feel refreshed, exactly the same as when he arrived home not long ago!
However, contrary to his reaction, Anna next to him covered her nose and wrinkled her little nose and complained, "Hmm...... What kind of weird smell is this?! ”
"Haha, the smell of disinfectant water."
Quickly opening his eyes, John laughed.
In order to meet the daily hygiene needs of Heinz General Hospital, John specially configured a simple disinfectant water to disinfect the crowded outpatient clinic. This year is not as scary as the later generations, the incidence of infectious diseases is high, and the hospital is a high-risk area, John is naturally very concerned about his hospital, and the use of this disinfectant water every day is quite expensive.
"Hmph, it smells bad."
After listening to John's explanation, Anna pouted.
Today, her fiancé is coming to the hospital, and of course Anna follows him on the grounds that he has promised a long time ago. Anna had always been very curious about John's work, because she had the impression that the reputation of a surgeon was not good, but her fiancé valued the job more than any other industry, which made her curious......
However, the smell in the hospital did not give Anna a good impression.
Fortunately, she was not the kind of superficial girl who knew that everything could not be judged by first impressions, so she quickly focused her attention on the lobby on the first floor of the observation hospital.
The lobby on the first floor of this building is actually the outpatient hall.
Because the two of them came early, there was still about half an hour before the opening time, so the hall was very deserted at this time. Only a tall man in a strange uniform stood near the doorway, casually glancing at them. The only thing that makes people feel a little popular is that some of the windows around the hall are lit up, and it is obvious that someone is already working.
The more closely she looked, the more surprised Anna became.
The hospital is a place where the poor go, and this is the philosophy that Anna has been instilled in since she was a child. So that's also where he feels weird about John. But when she saw the building of Heinz General Hospital from afar that day, she knew that she might be wrong, because a building for the poor could not have been built so majestic. Today, when she stepped through the doors of the hospital for the first time, Anna found that her ideas were still too simple: white walls, smooth marble floors, and simple but stylish décor...... How can this be for the poor?
And......
After standing in the hall for less than a minute, Anna noticed something strange, that is, the hall seemed to be much warmer than the cold weather outside. I just stood for a while and felt a little hot!
"Huh?"
John soon noticed this, and after frowning, his eyes quickly lit up, and he lost his voice: "This ...... Is it heating? Mr. Tesla has installed the heating in the hospital? ”
"What heating?"
Anna was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"A way to heat up."
John casually explained, looked around, and soon found a set of radiators in each of the four corners of the hall.
Very rough cast iron radiators!
"Sure enough!"
Taking a deep breath, John was filled with joy.
At the beginning, he asked Tesla about the heating, and said that he wanted to install it in the winter. Later, because he went to Europe, he forgot about it. I didn't even remember it when I saw Tesla the other day. Of course, for Tesla, the heating duct itself is a small thing. There is also nothing to say.
Now that he saw the radiator, John was overjoyed and a thought quickly arose in his mind: "Great, go back and ask my grandfather if the house under construction is also designed with heating pipes......
"Huh? Is it Mr. Huntelaar? ”
Just as John's mind was running farther and farther, a voice of surprise suddenly came.
The girl immediately stopped looking for John, and turned her head to look behind her. I saw a beautiful girl in a pure white dress walking over with a surprised face, and after confirming that it was John, she immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Welcome back, Mr. Huntelaar." ”
"Hehe, good morning, Tina"
Nodding. John replied with a smile on his face.
The girl named Tina was a little nurse in surgery, and John knew her. And with Tina's shout, it was like a drop of ice water dripping from hot oil, which made Heinz General Hospital quickly boil. John went to Europe for more than half a year, but this did not affect his status in the eyes of everyone, especially when there was a lot of news from Europe, it can be said that John's reputation rose to a higher level.
Waves of greetings poured over like a tide.
At this time, the doctors and nurses began to go to work one after another, and when they saw John, they were naturally surprised to come forward, and they had just finished leaving one batch after another. Anna, who was beside John, was naturally the center of attention, and this tall and beautiful girl instantly caught everyone's attention, and the men naturally did not need to mention it, while the nurses stared at her with a kind of envy - everyone knew that Mr. Huntelaar had brought his fiancée back to New York this time, so it was obvious who this lucky girl was......
Fortunately, John, they came early, and it was not yet time for the clinic to open, otherwise this messy appearance would have delayed normal work. But even so, the eyes of some patients and family members who came early changed a little, which made John smile bitterly and said loudly: "Okay, everyone, the time for the clinic is coming, all go back to their posts!" ”
Naturally, everyone did not dare to disobey the dean's order.
Soon everyone dispersed, but a few people were not within the scope of this order, Thomas and Professor Osler, who rushed to hear the news, soon found John, who had just dispersed his colleagues, Thomas laughed and hugged him: "You are finally here, I thought you would not come to the hospital until you got married!" ”
"How is that possible?!"
After letting go of his old friend Thomas, John smiled wryly and said, "But there are so many things going on in this time...... Uh, don't talk about him. ”
Turning around, John warmly stepped forward and hugged Professor Osler, and asked with a smile, "Good morning, Professor Osler." What do you think? Are you satisfied with the working environment here? “
"Satisfied, very satisfied!"
Professor Osler nodded repeatedly, and the folds on his face instantly unfurled.
On the surface and in reality, Professor Osler couldn't be more satisfied. Although he has not been in Heinz General Hospital for a long time, in addition to working as an internal medicine physician and preparing for medical school, Osler has almost never stopped observing this hospital in detail, and the more he knows, the more he feels surprised and shocked!
Everything about Heinz General Hospital completely changed Osler's perception of hospitals.
If you were attracted to Heinz General Hospital in the first place, it was because of John? With Huntelaar's charisma and the broad blueprint he painted, Osler couldn't wait to integrate into the hospital after half a year. He learned too much here, but he also accumulated too many doubts in his heart, and when he saw John, he couldn't wait to ask all the questions in one go, and get the answers that he couldn't get even after tossing and turning at night.
But now was obviously not the time to ask questions, looking at the beautiful girl beside John, Osler smiled and asked, "Mr. Huntelaar, this beautiful lady must be Miss Brister, right?" ”
"Hello, Professor Osler, it's an honor to meet you!"
Anna, who had heard John talk about Professor Osler, immediately saluted and said hello. He knew that his fiancé valued this professor very much, not only mentioned it several times before, but even specially explained it before coming to the hospital this time, so he naturally would not slack off.
"Good morning, Miss Brister."
After confirming the identity of the other party, Professor Osler politely greeted the proprietress very politely.
After Thomas and Anna got to know each other, John smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, although I know you should have a lot to talk to me about, but this morning, I promised Anna to introduce her to the hospital, so let's talk after lunch......" (To be continued......
