It took John a week to get to know his hospital again.

After six months of absence, the number of physicians at Heinz General Hospital had increased to thirty-seven, and in addition to a few returning students from Europe, Professor Osler's presence also attracted his students. Among the 37 physicians, there are 21 internal medicine physicians, 16 surgeons, and if you add the four obstetricians and gynecologists who are about to return, a full 40 physicians make the scale of Heinz General Hospital bigger and bigger.

Of course, the number of people outside of physicians is also growing.

The main reason is that the number of nurses is growing rapidly, especially those who have undergone rigorous training, mainly in the surgical wards. The number of other departments, including Ehrlich's institute, has remained largely unchanged, not because he doesn't want to increase the number of people, but because it's not easy to recruit the right people in New York. In this respect, Ehrlich is more similar to John, and it is better to have a lack than an abundance, and if there is no suitable person, it is simply not necessary!

The progress of the hospital for more than half a year has made John extremely satisfied.

In terms of internal medicine, he didn't want to intervene for the time being, but in the operating rooms and wards of the surgical department, the content of his Heinz surgery book had begun to be fully implemented, and a few months were even enough for Thomas and others to save up a few papers......

"In fact, our hospital produced a total of sixty papers last year!"

A little more than a week later, at the table welcoming Edward to New York, John smiled and said, "On average, each physician produced an average of 1.8 papers......"

"Ahem! Ahem! ”

The red wine I just drank almost spurted out in one gulp," the Lancet magazine ...... No, it should be said that Edward, the former editor of The Lancet, suddenly widened his eyes and said in surprise: "This ...... So much?! Sixty papers, that's almost the number of a university! And with an average of 1.8 papers per person, this number is too exaggerated, right? ”

Raised eyebrows. John smiled: "Hehe, because it is the time when it is easy to produce results!" Their dissertations focused on surgery, the use of vitamins, local anesthetics, aspirin and sulfonamides, as well as techniques such as disinfection, which are the strengths of our hospital, so it is natural to have more papers. ”

"Uh......"

After listening to John's explanation, Edward was suddenly speechless.

He certainly knew that these were Heinz General Hospital's strengths. In fact, these things are basically made up by the current Mr. Huntelaar, but 1.8 papers per physician is still a bit too exaggerated!

If it were a hundred years later, in that era when there were so many medical journals, 1.8 articles per person would not seem particularly exaggerated, for example, in those tertiary hospitals in big cities in China, the number of papers published in certain departments is higher. But let's not forget that this is the end of the 19th century, a time when modern medicine was just in its infancy. For people in this era, although there are also bulls who have accumulated hundreds of papers in their lifetime, more of them are ordinary doctors who may not be able to publish a paper in their lifetime!

"Sure enough!"

Looking at John with an indifferent face? Mr. Huntelaar. Edward's mood slowly calmed down. Come to think of it, this gentleman once performed the miracle of taking out eight papers in one go, and now it is only two papers per person, so what's so strange?

And......

His eyes gradually gleamed with excitement, and Edward licked his somewhat dry lips and said, "Mr. Huntelaar, that's why you invited me to New York, right?" By the way, there is also that copy of "Sherlock Holmes", if it is published, it will definitely sell well! ”

"Hmm...... Sort of. ”

After a moment's hesitation. John nodded slowly.

Edward's invitation to New York was not just because of the hospital's growing number of papers, even enough to support half a magazine. Actually, John was mainly for the convenience of the future. Whether it was the convenience of publishing papers in hospitals, research institutes, and even future medical schools, or in order to more conveniently reflect John's own medical philosophy, he needed an academic journal that was completely under control. As for running a publishing house, the main purpose is to print her own textbooks and publish things like Sherlock Holmes detective books in the future. That's by the way.

Thinking of this, John didn't hesitate, and said with a simple smile: "Edward, take a good rest these days, and start recruiting people next week...... Hehe, you're going to be busy. ”

"Huh? I. I'm hiring. ”

After hearing John's words, Edward was stunned.

"Of course."

Smiling, John nodded as a matter of course: "I don't know anything about magazines and publishing, who do you do?" Rest assured, New York doesn't have as many magazines and publishers as London, but it shouldn't be too hard to find a few great editors......"

……

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late."

John, who hurriedly walked into the restaurant, looked apologetic and said helplessly: "There happens to be a former editor of The Lancet who arrived on the same cruise ship as you, and he is a guest, so I always have to give priority to entertaining, haha!" ”

Howard? Kelly quickly got up from his seat and said with a smile, "It's okay, we just arrived too...... Gentlemen, this is John? Mr. Huntelaar, the owner of Heinz General Hospital, is also the current director. ”

"Good afternoon, gentlemen."

John glanced at the three young men beside Kelly and took the initiative to extend his right hand.

"This is Michael? Mr. Henry, a native of Philadelphia, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and had just completed two years of study in Berlin. ”

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Huntelaar."

"This is Steve? Mr. Cole ......"

……

In Howard? With Kelly's introduction, John got to know three obstetricians and gynecologists who were about to work at his hospital. In terms of age, the eldest of the three will not be more than thirty years old, all of them are very young. John is quite satisfied with everyone's age, although being young means inexperienced, but at the same time full of plasticity, especially it is much easier to accept new ideas and new technologies. And for obstetrics and gynecology in this era, what is the point of having experience?

"Gentlemen, please be seated."

After getting acquainted, John smiled and waved his hand and chatted with a few people.

The first time we met, John didn't mean to talk about work and life with these people, and he was gossiping, the key was just to get to know each other first. But Howard? Kelly was a little anxious, and quickly asked, "Mr. Huntelaar, when do you think our obstetrics and gynecology building will be opened?" We purchased a lot of equipment from Europe and wanted to move in sooner......"

"Don't worry, Mr. Kelly."

After laughing, John waved his hand and said, "The obstetrics and gynecology building has been prepared for you a long time ago, and even the nurses have been trained, as long as you want, you can move in at any time......

……

Alas, it was another tragic weekend, not a deliberate water chapter, it was really a brain mess that didn't know what to write.

Everyone's forgiveness! (To be continued.) )
