Chapter 11: Mr. Huntelaar
"Yes sir, I'm Harvey? Cushing 's! ”
Harvey, who was supposed to leave like everyone else after the exam? Cushing, looking at the gentleman in front of him at this time, couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.
Standing in front of him was a guy about his own age.
But Harvey at this moment? Cushing's heart was very unhappy, because the guy in front of him was too tall, it looked like he must be more than six feet, and it would still be very stressful for him to be small in close contact. And what made him even more upset was that strange expression on this guy's face seemed to be full of appreciation and encouragement - damn it! Obviously about the same age as himself, he should have come to take the exam with him, so he dared to look at himself with such eyes?
However, to Cushing's surprise, the other party just confirmed his name and quickly smiled gently, nodded and said, "Hehe, I'm looking forward to meeting you again!" ”
Then, turned around and left.
"Uh...... What's going on? ”
Confused by the other party's strange behavior, Harvey? Cushing blinked blankly.
Of course, John didn't care about the expression of the young master of neurosurgery, he took a few steps to catch up with Osler, who was about to leave, and asked in a low voice, "Professor, when will these people's examination papers be finished?" ”
"You can get the results the next morning."
Without any hesitation, Professor Osler gave a direct answer: "If there are no accidents, we can start the interview the morning after tomorrow." ”
Although there were sixty or seventy people taking the exam, Osler was also prepared with enough markers, and there was enough time for one day. You know, because the school's enrollment requirements are too high, and because it is the school's first admission, it is likely to make many people discourage. So to encourage them to come and take the test. John provided these candidates with the expenses of the whole process, the locals in New York are fine, and the people from other places also have to provide fares, accommodation and meals, and the grade is not low, one more day is a lot of expenses, he naturally hopes that the sooner the end the better.
John's funds for the school were ample though. But the pressure on Osler's mind is not small.
He knew John well? Although Osler also knew that the other party's plan was definitely not a so-called monetary return, and he would never be stingy with money, as the actual controller of the school, Osler himself had a measure in mind......
The entrance exam for Heinz Medical School, which is divided into several subjects: writing, mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, is basically the same as the compulsory courses for American high school students in later generations. Of course, in John's eyes, the difficulty of the test questions must be much weaker than that of the high school students of later generations, after all, the time has been advanced for more than a hundred years. But because John was in it to design the questions. The whole exam is undoubtedly much more targeted: in addition to the basic mastery of these people, John also needs to examine their attitude towards medicine or science, such as their interest and love for medicine, their own scientific research thinking, etc., all of which are hidden in those seemingly ordinary exam questions.
Therefore, simply having a high score is not necessarily the most appropriate.
After a dozen busy days and nights, twenty-three young men were screened out, and early on the third morning, they received a notice to attend an interview that day: there was no doubt about it. Harvey? Cushing is among them......
……
Three more days later, the first entrance exam for Heinz Medical School ended.
Nine young people were picked out of dozens of test takers. Became the first four-year student at Heinz Medical College. As long as they can survive the next four years, they will get the money by John? Mr. Huntelaar's autographed doctorate certificate and became a physician - not necessarily a respected person in this era, but he was able to join Heinz General Hospital and become a member of the well-paid middle class in New York City.
Nine people, one less than the original minimum.
But neither Professor Osler nor John. Not too disappointed by that. They have long been mentally prepared for this, after all, this year is no more than a hundred years later, doctors are not natural high-class people, and it can even be said that their status is quite low. In addition, a bachelor's degree is already a high degree in this era, and it is not difficult to find a similar job to be honest. If you weren't interested in medicine, you probably wouldn't have applied for a medical school after getting a bachelor's degree in another major...... In fact, just a few days before the exam, five guys changed their minds and quit halfway. Otherwise, those five men actually met John's standards.
But being able to select nine people has already satisfied them.
Heinz Medical School has sufficient resources, they have the most comfortable teaching facilities and the most advanced teaching conditions, and they also have a faculty that is not inferior to any university, but they lack the experience to run a school! So a smaller number of students isn't necessarily a bad thing, and it's not bad to have some experience for young physicians, most of whom are teaching for the first time......
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in a small classroom at Heinz Medical College.
"Gentlemen!"
Professor Osler stood on the podium with a dazzling glint in his eyes: "Congratulations, you have been accepted into Heinz Medical College and become the first student of this school!" ”
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
A round of applause rang out in the classroom.
Although there were only nine of them, Osler saw anticipation and eagerness in the eyes of every student.
To be honest, in the past few days, in addition to taking exams and interviews, almost everyone has been around the campus several times, and of course Heinz General Hospital must have been there. Everyone has also seen how amazing this new university is – the state-of-the-art laboratories, the beauty of the campus, and the grandeur of the hospital are all amazing. Even if a few undetermined test takers choose to quit, they will inevitably be apprehensive, but they are still full of anticipation for their choice here.
If they weren't interested in studying medicine, they wouldn't have chosen to come here.
And......
The name of Heinz General Hospital in recent years is really too loud!
Almost every year, there will be amazing achievements, such as the obstetrics and gynecology department that began to emerge last year, and the miracle of maintaining 100% inventory of pregnant women and newborns in New York at the beginning of this year, and the rescue of three pregnant women with massive bleeding by blood transfusion has also been reported in many newspapers......
While everyone applauded, Harvey? Cushing had been quietly looking at a person.
The young man he had met several times before.
Harvey? Cushing didn't know what the other party's specific name was, he was confused when he met for the first time before, and the last two times were when he interviewed himself at Heinz General Hospital, especially during the interview, that guy turned out to be one of the examiners, this discovery made Cushing couldn't help but be surprised. He was sure that the kid was about the same age as himself, he was still a student, but the other party was already an examiner, and maybe even a teaching assistant at this school......
Looking at the young man standing not far behind Osler with a smile on his face, Harvey? Cushing sighed with some regret: "It's a pity, I don't know what his name is until now." ”
"Gentlemen."
Just in Harvey? As Cushing quietly looked at the young man, Professor Osler continued, "First of all, allow me to solemnly introduce to you the dean of our medical school, who is also the investor and founder of the university. Mr. Huntelaar! ”
"John? Mr. Huntelaar? ”
After hearing Osler say the name, Harvey? Cushing's heart suddenly shook!
Since he has long been interested in studying medicine, and he also plans to go directly to Harvard to continue his studies after getting a bachelor's degree from Yale, plus he was originally from a medical family, Harvey? Cushing is naturally concerned about the situation in the medical community. For example, the most famous physicians, such as Liszt, Pasteur and Koch in Europe, including Osler in North America, have heard of it. The name Huntelaar is certainly not unfamiliar.
In fact, this name has definitely been thunderous in recent years!
The reason why he came to New York despite the dissuasion of his classmates was because Cushing saw the names of Osler, Ehrlich, Kelly and others in the newspapers. Mr. Huntelaar! This person may be very low-key in normal times, but as long as you follow the new magazines, you can understand the meaning of the name.
Right now......
Cushing, who was about to get to know this Mr. Huntelaar, suddenly became excited, and his eyes kept scanning the bodies of several people behind Osler. I heard that this Mr. Huntelaar is very young, could it be the gentleman in his thirties who seems to be very imposing? Just now, it seemed that Mr. Osler was also polite to him.
Just as Cushing's eyes widened in search of a target, Professor Osler looked at a man beside him.
And following Professor Osler's gaze, Harvey? Cushing quickly fixed his gaze on one person, and after seeing who the other person was, Harvey? Cushing's eyes, which were already round, instantly widened again, and his mouth suddenly opened......
……
After sitting all night, I wrote something like this. After so many days of interruption, I don't feel anything. (To be continued.) )
