Chapter VII Teaching Materials and Instruments
The graduation ceremony of the Huntelaar Medical College did not cause any waves.
First, because the scale of graduates is too small, there are only five people, and all of them stay in school, so naturally few people pay attention to it; On the other hand, it is also because John and Osler and others are deliberately low-key. And only like William? Welch and Columbia College in the same city will pay great attention to this class of graduates, but unfortunately, no matter how much they are recruited, these five young people are reluctant to leave the Huntelaar medical system.
"What a pity!"
Sighing heavily, Welch was stunned and said, "Even if only one person is willing!" I can even give them an associate professor right away, no better than a residency with you? ”
"Haha, you've got it!"
A smug Osler waved his hand and laughed.
Osler's heart was naturally very happy to make his old friend Welch value his students so much, and said with a smile: "William, go back and persuade your principal to invest more in the medical school!" I can now understand that an excellent physician is made by money, especially in anatomy, physiology and pathology laboratories, which are too important for their growth! ”
"Of course I know that, but the question is...... Alas! ”
After listening to Osler's words, Welch's expression was even more lost.
Although Hopkins is not bad for money and has invested enough in medical school, at least Welch was very satisfied. But the problem is that everything is afraid of comparison, and compared with the Huntelaar School of Medicine, Hopkins's investment is like suddenly becoming other small medical schools in China!
Not to mention anything else, the students each have a microscope, and he can't even think of it!
After a long sigh, Welch said a little lonely: "Old friend, I'm going back to Baltimore tomorrow, are all the textbooks I asked you to help buy ready?" ”
"Of course!"
Nodding, Osler smiled and said, "50 copies of each kind have been prepared for you a long time ago, and I will have someone help you get on the train tomorrow!" ”
Osler has always spared no effort in exporting the teaching materials of the Huntelaar Medical School.
After several years of development, under John's intentional or unintentional prompting or hands-on, the school-based textbook of Huntelaar Medical College has been updated to the second edition - a textbook with completely independent intellectual property rights! From common basic courses such as advanced mathematics, physics and chemistry, to basic medical courses such as anatomy, physiology and pathology, to professional courses such as internal medicine, surgery and obstetrics and gynecology, all of them were written by John and his professors chapter by chapter!
The quality of these materials has always been the pride of Osler!
For example, in internal medicine, edited by Osler himself, Howard? Kelly's book of obstetrics and gynecology is now well-known in North America, used by many medical schools, and edited by professors in various specialties. Mr. Huntelaar personally organized, revised and added some of the basic medical textbooks, and the sales outside of medical school are also increasing every year, and are recognized by more and more people......
Of course, the most eye-catching, except for John? In addition to the epidemiology, surgery, and anatomy written by Mr. Huntelaar himself, there is undoubtedly immunology co-authored by Elli and Mechnikov!
Needless to say, John's reputation is enough to ensure that they are one of the most important books in various majors, in fact, not only Huntelaar Medical School and Hopkins Medical School, but also schools in the United States such as Columbia, New Orleans and Philadelphia, and even many medical schools in Europe have begun to use them to teach. After all, in the field of surgery and infectious diseases, John? The name Huntelaar is now recognized as one of the authorities.
As for the latter, immunology is also starting to take off.
Because of John's existence in this world, the two representatives of humoral immunology and cellular immunology came together, and in a few years they spent nearly $50,000 on John's research, and finally merged their respective views to write the first edition of the immunology textbook. Of course, John's help must be indispensable in this process, otherwise it would take at least ten more years for the two of them to write this book......
After secretly feeling proud, Osler suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, our school has also researched some gadgets, if you are interested, you can also take them back together!" ”
"Huh? What new devices have been invented? ”
Hearing this, Welch was stunned for a moment, and Welch immediately widened his eyes and asked urgently.
Like the medical textbooks produced by the Huntelaar Medical School, Welch was also very interested in the various gadgets and equipment they had improved over the years. Huntelaar Medical Devices is now strong, with more than 20 R&D personnel alone, and under John's matchmaking, their cooperation with the medical school is also very effective, and what they come up with can make Welch amazed.
The simplest example is the electrocardiogram (ECG), which was "invented" last year!
Electrocardiogram plays a very important role in modern medical diagnosis and is very helpful in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. This thing was not actually invented by the Huntelaar Medical School, because the electrical signals of the heart were discovered as early as 1872, and in 1885, Dutch physiologists recorded the heart's electrical waveforms with a capillary electrostatic needle. But it was only in the 20th century that the ECG was really perfected and used in the clinic. Of course, with John's prompting and encouragement, in 1894 the Xuanxian galvanometer appeared, opening up the history of recording electrocardiograms on the body surface......
Far from it.
"Hehe, some reagents to test blood!"
With a smile, Osler replied: "It can detect the changes in the value of white blood cells in the blood more sensitively, and greatly reduce the cost and time of the test...... We've tried it and it's been fantastic! ”
"Oh? Then be sure to buy some back and use the following. ”
Welch's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly.
It has to be said that people at the end of the 19th century were very capable of learning. When John built the world's first in-hospital laboratory, the laboratory department, at Charlotte Hospital in Berlin, Germany, the hospital soon followed. John then built his second laboratory in New York and began to "invent" and "perfect" a range of testing techniques. In this regard, Ehrlich is also an expert, and the two bigwigs with a group of helpers quickly built a primitive but effective inspection system!
There is no doubt that in this day and age, these means of inspection are artifacts!
As one of Huntelaar Medical College's closest partners, Welch was of course well aware of this, so after hearing Osler's words, he immediately asked the price and ordered a batch to take home. (To be continued.) )
