That night, the two kerosene lamps in John's house were lit.

The kerosene lamp was obviously not bright, but this did not prevent John from lying on the table and writing hard, and at the end of a stack of letter paper he wrote earnestly: "Dear grandfather, I think you can probably see from the previous contents of this letter, I have decided to become a doctor, and this decision will never change!" So here I implore you to agree with this decision of mine and give me the help I desperately need! ”

After writing this paragraph, John carefully examined the eight pages of the letter before and after, made sure that there were no problems, and then wrote his name.

"Hoo ......"

After putting down the pen in his hand, John let out a long breath.

The long eight-page paper was written into a letter to his grandfather, and John only felt that his hands were sore. It was already twelve o'clock, but he had no intention of resting, and immediately began to write another letter after enveloping the letter to his grandfather: "Dear Steve......

In the dim light, John's face was solemn and focused, and he wrote this letter to Steve Zola seriously: "Steve, I have now made a decision about the land I bought in Manhattan, and that is to build a hospital, a hospital that is different from all the hospitals in New York today!" So I need your help, in the letter I have attached a drawing of a building, very simple but basically illustrates my needs, I hope you can ask the architectural experts to design according to my requirements and build a building that satisfies me......"

Today's events made John very disappointed.

Originally, he planned to stay in Europe for a few more years and accumulate more contacts before going back, but he finally realized the fact that he was far ahead of his time in medicine. If you can't convince them to follow your commands, no matter how many doctors you know, it won't make much sense after all!

What he needed was great prestige, prestige that would make most of the physicians bow down!

A higher prestige than Pasteur and Koch!

Originally, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, John planned to take his time to accumulate prestige, but after today's incident, he decided not to dwell on this anymore.

What about sixteen?

There are many freaks in this era, such as Edison, Tesla, and Einstein. Even in the field of medicine, there are countless cross-border masters, can I be afraid of being a reborn person?

"Moreover, I need to improve the social status and income of doctors!"

Thinking of Bergman's rejection of most of his proposals because of the cost, John's eyes flashed, and the pen in his hand wrote faster: "You don't need to worry about the cost and cost of this building, I will prepare sufficient funds for it." It would cost you $100,000 to do it, but I want to stress one thing, you have to make sure that you implement the features I marked out in the drawings! Also, I need you to do me one more favor and buy another piece of land around there. Maybe it doesn't need to be too big, but at least it's about an acre......"

Outside the door of John's bedroom, Hans stood silently.

Seeing the glimmer of light shining through the crack in the door, Mr. Butler's face showed a look of concern. After returning from the hospital tonight, John's face was very unpleasant, and he went upstairs without even eating dinner, and now that the young master had not rested, Hans was naturally even more worried.

But after standing in the doorway for a while, Hans sighed secretly. He turned around and went back to his room.

Behind him, the kerosene lamp in John's room continued to emit light and heat, shining on the man with a focused face. A letter that will affect the future of medicine in the world is written like a flowing cloud......

……

The next day was Wednesday, and because he didn't have to go to school or hospital, Johann woke up late, and Hans didn't come to wake him up.

But at ten o'clock John had just woken up, and after having eaten some breakfast, Hans hurried into the drawing-room and handed him a telegram: "Sir." Your grandfather's telegram! ”

"Oh?"

Just yesterday I wrote a letter when my grandfather's telegram came. This surprised John slightly. Recently, because there are not too many urgent matters, the two have rarely telegraphed. After all, the telegram was too expensive for the cost of writing letters, and charging by the letter was a bit unbearable even for a wealthy man like John.

Taking it apart, John was dumbfounded: "Grandpa is coming to Berlin for the New Year?" ”

"What? You mean that Mr. Huntelaar is coming to Berlin? ”

Hans, who was waiting, was also stunned.

Having been the housekeeper of Huntelaar's family for more than ten years, Hans knew too well the attitude of old Huntelaar towards returning to Germany, which he had never even mentioned. But how could he not be surprised that he was now saying that he was coming to Berlin for the New Year?

But looking at the bewildered John in front of him, Hans immediately understood.

"Yes, that's what the telegram says, and it should have been on board!"

John stared desperately and said in a very bad tone.

Look at the day when the telegram came out happened to be yesterday, and it said that on the day of the telegram, the elder Huntelaar got on a cruise ship to England, accompanied by Joshua who went to London and Berlin in addition to Henry, which means that John didn't even have a chance to reply to the telegram to dissuade him!

The old man is too capricious!

The telegram was crumpled into a ball, and John's face was gloomy as if it was going to rain.

As an old man in his sixties, the old Huntelaar is undoubtedly very healthy, and can even be called strong! And in recent years, under John's intentional or unintentional reminders, he has begun to get used to exercising in the morning and evening to maintain his physical condition. But for a transatlantic trip, old Huntelaar is undoubtedly a little older!

The appearance of steel-hulled steamships in the past two years has shortened the journey across the Atlantic by more than ten days, but it will take many days to reach Berlin after arriving in England.

Although there is now a first-class cabin on the cruise ship, and there are Henry and Joshua to take care of them along the way, but in case ......

Thinking about it. John couldn't help but walk up and down the restaurant.

But there was no such thing as a wireless telegraphy yet, and since old Huntelaar was on the boat, John didn't want to get him down, so he thought about getting rid of his depression and could only prepare for his grandfather's arrival.

Come to think of it. John turned to the butler and said, "Mr. Elber, please do your best to tidy up a room and prepare all the things that need to be prepared...... My grandfather said that if he wanted to stay in his hometown for a longer time, it might take two or three months! ”

"Yes, sir."

Nodding his head immediately, Hans agreed.

After returning to the study. Because the news of the old man's arrival was so unexpected, John didn't have the heart to do anything else, and simply seriously considered the impact of the arrival of old Huntelaar on him.

When it comes to it, it is natural that he wants to be a doctor.

The letter written last night must not be sent, but how to convince old Huntelaar to support himself. In particular, supporting himself to build a hospital that is definitely "luxurious" right now is the number one priority for John! You know, he could have set aside up to $100,000 for that hospital building, and in New York in 1884, what was the concept of $100,000?

An ordinary white-collar worker earns only two or three hundred dollars a year, and the rent of a room is only a few dollars a week!

Even if starting this year, John will get a hefty return from the bike factory and Legos, and $100,000 is too much. It's okay if it's an investment in a factory or something. Old Huntelaar would definitely be supportive, but if a hospital was built......

It's hard to imagine that the old man, who was already quite critical of John's study of medicine, would agree!

But again, John would not have chosen to compromise. He had no intention of pursuing the hard profession of a physician in his life, but now that he had made up his mind, no one could stop him, not even his only relative!

"So, while letting my grandfather see my determination, I need more things!"

Soon. John came up with a solution.

It's also quite simple to say, the old Huntelaar didn't want John to become a physician. On the one hand, it is naturally because the status of doctors is not high now, and the income is too low. On the other hand, because of the front and back watches on electric lights, batteries, bicycles and building blocks, old Huntelaar had great expectations for John's talent!

Solving these two problems was actually not difficult for John.

The doctor's low income could be compensated for by other things, except for the stake in bicycles and blocks, and John believed that if he could come up with something more in a short time, old Huntelaar would probably have nothing to object to. After all, as long as he owns shares in many companies, dividends alone are enough for John to live a comfortable life. As for the latter, although the time is a little tight, it is really not a difficult thing for John to come up with medical achievements before the old Huntelaar leaves the United States!

"If it's just a blood group theory, it doesn't seem to be enough!"

John shook his head at the thought of the paper that he had actually prepared, even though he was still working on it. It is not so easy for the Nobel Prize-winning bull in later generations to promote the blood group theory, let alone the current era?

You know, just ten years ago, a British doctor asserted with great certainty that a sensible and humane surgeon would never open the abdomen, chest cavity and cranial cavity for surgery.

"So ......"

Thinking of the level of surgery in this era, John's eyebrows furrowed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Some things definitely take time to promote patiently, but there are some things that can be seen in a short period of time, such as right lower quadrant pain that most doctors have not yet understood...... (To be continued)
