Chapter 33: Strange Things
"Harvey? Cushing 's? ”
After hearing this name that surprised him, John couldn't help but shake his eyebrows. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The best of the first class of students at Huntelaar Medical School, the first surgical resident trained by Huntelaar General Hospital, the first graduate of Huntelaar Medical School to be hired as a professor of surgery - by the age of 30, Cushing had already published 11 papers, and he was only 32 years old when he was hired as a professor of surgery!
Harvey, so to speak? Cushing is a living advertisement for the high quality education of the Huntelaar Medical School!
So when Osler said Cushing's name, although John was a little surprised, he immediately accepted it after a moment of silence - his own child, of course, is more assured, isn't it? And in addition to continuing to advance in surgery in recent years, Cushing also took over from Thomas as the head of the Department of Surgery, and Thomas focused more on managing more and more hospitals.
So whether it is qualifications or experience, Cushing is not lacking.
The only thing that is easier to criticize may be Cushing's age, which is only 37 years old this year! But if Osler retires in his 60s, there will be three years to go, and Cushing will be forty years old at that time, so there should be no problem......
"That's good!"
Thinking of this, John didn't hesitate, simply nodded and smiled: "Professor, then I'll go back and talk to Harvey and Thomas, and then you will take him for three years, get ready!" ”
"Of course, it's my obligation."
With a sigh of relief, Osler's expression became lighter.
What could be more exciting than seeing a great student as an educator? To be able to have a graduate of his school take over his position, there is probably nothing more wonderful for Osler to take over......
……
“…… That's the way it is! ”
Facing his earliest friend Thomas, John spread his hands and said, "Originally, I was thinking about you, but ...... I'm afraid you don't have much time to manage it now, so I chose Harvey! ”
"Well, it was the right choice."
A little disappointed, but Thomas finally nodded.
Although interested in the position of Dean of the Huntelaar Medical School, Thomas himself understood that as the Huntelaar General Hospital expanded in size and branches, he had no more time to dedicate to the school. Just one month later, they opened another branch in Brooklyn - a 150-bed obstetrics and gynecology specialty hospital, and plan to open three more branches in the next three years, which requires Thomas to devote all his energy and time.
Today, Thomas is already the head of a huge medical group.
And in addition to the satisfaction of his career, Thomas enjoys the sense of accomplishment of achieving fame even more. At John's personal suggestion, the other branches were named after their elders, such as Howard, the new obstetrics and gynecology hospital? Kelly Maternity Hospital, and the names of the first and second branches of the year were Thomas and Osler.
This kind of treatment is not available to everyone.
So after thinking about it, Thomas was still reluctant to give up his career for many years and serve as the dean of the medical school. And to Harvey? Cushing was a student of medical school and a surgeon under Thomas's leadership, and he was a disciple of him anyway, so it was indeed a good choice for him to take over medical school......
"Gotcha! Get! Get! ”
As the two giants continue to discuss the affairs of the hospital, there is a knock on the door of Thomas's office.
Just as he was about to talk to John about his plans for the hospital in the next few years, Thomas couldn't help frowning when he heard the knock on the door, and said loudly, "Please come in!" ”
With a creak, the door was opened from the outside.
Thomas's secretary walked in lightly, and when he saw Thomas's displeasure, his heart suddenly burst out, and he hurriedly said apologetically: "Sorry, gentlemen, for bothering you." But Mr. Ehrlich called and said there was a strange matter that needed Mr. Huntelaar's help, so ......"
"Weird things?"
John was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his curiosity suddenly rose.
It must have been a work thing that would have made Ehrlich call him during work hours, but John really couldn't think of anything that could make him feel weird!
Unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, John turned his head and smiled: "Then let's do this today, hmm...... I'll come back to the hospital on Friday, and we'll talk about it in more detail when that happens......"
After saying goodbye to Thomas, John rushed to Ehrlich's office.
Seeing Ehrlich, whose beard and hair had turned gray, John couldn't help but sigh again, compared to Osler, Ehrlich was not a few years younger, and now he was fifty-two. Thinking that when he came to the United States with him, Ehrlich and Thomas were both in the prime of life, but now they are both gray hair and sideburns, John can't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
"John, this is Mr. Warren."
As soon as they met, Ehrlich eagerly introduced John to the guests in his office: "Mr. Warren is a banker, and he came to me the other day to inquire about something, which is very strange. ”
"Uh...... It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Warren. ”
Rather speechless at Ehrlich's direct introduction, John could only smile and extend his right hand to Mr. Warren.
"It is my pleasure, sir."
Facing the behind-the-scenes boss of Huntelaar Bank, Mr. Warren was obviously a little frightened, and quickly shook John's hand respectfully, and apologized again and again: "Sorry, Mr. Huntelaar, I really didn't know that Mr. Ehrlich invited you...... I'm so sorry for that! ”
"Haha, you're welcome."
With a wave of his hand, John turned his gaze back to Ehrlich: "Paul, what the hell is this weird thing?" Hurry up and take a picture of me, you can make it clear! ”
“…… All right. “
The fair-skinned face turned a rare red, and at Ehrlich's motion, the banker patiently explained.
In fact, things are not complicated, not long ago the family went to Long Island for a vacation to cool off, it was originally a happy thing, but I didn't expect that the youngest daughter was infected with typhoid fever first, and then not long after, his wife, gardener, maid and another daughter, a total of six people were infected with typhoid fever!
Now, the fool knows there's a problem.
Thanks to the development of science and technology over the years, Warren finally knows that typhoid fever is an infectious disease, and he happens to know who the biggest expert in New York City is who the most famous expert on infectious diseases is. Of course, a small banker would not dare to disturb Mr. Huntelaar, so he came to Heinz General Hospital to find a specially set up infectious disease department.
After a lot of going back and forth, the matter came to Ehrlich.
Because Warren was still somewhat influential, Ehrlich was not interested, but eventually sent two students to help with the investigation. Knowing that no one in Huntelaar Hospital could be offended, Warren treated both students very politely, so the two of them did their best, and finally targeted the banker's cook!
Mary? Mellen, born in Ireland, immigrated to the United States in 1884.
According to the results of the Ehrlich investigation, Mary had changed jobs several times in the past few years, and that people had fallen ill in the area where she had changed jobs each time, and all of them were typhoid fever! After this result was reported to Ehrlich, he immediately aroused great interest, and personally prepared to investigate this Mary? Ms. Mellen.
But......
"This lady is very stubborn and won't allow us to check on her!"
At the end of the day, Mr. Warren said angrily: "She insisted that she had not had typhoid fever, and that we were deliberately slandering her in order to make it impossible for her to continue working in the chef's world...... So until now, she hasn't allowed us to do the checks......"
Warren, who was talking about his worries, didn't notice the change in John's expression.
Actually halfway through the story, John? Mr. Huntelaar's expression became strange, as was the matter itself. And by the time Warren had finished saying everything, there was already a hint of surprise and a hint of understanding in John's strange expression.
"Hehe, it's amazing."
Listening to Warren's helpless explanation, John's thoughts had already run to the Irish woman: "I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see the legendary Typhoid Mary with my own eyes, this is really lucky......" (To be continued.) )
