Chapter 27 Improved uterine tobactomy

In an attempt to appease a somewhat restless Professor Osler, John injected $150,000 into the medical school's account within a week as initial start-up funding.

The Huntelaar family can still take out the money.

After receiving the money, Professor Osler immediately called the engineering team that had been contacted for a long time, and the construction of the Huntelaar Medical School began vigorously in May 1889.

According to the plan of the two, for the time being, the medical school will only build a clinical school and ancillary facilities, including a dozen buildings large and small, as well as a series of sports facilities that Osler simply cannot understand. These buildings alone would require hundreds of thousands of dollars in two years. Fortunately, except for the library, which is almost no less expensive than the hospital building, the other buildings adhere to John's principle of small and fine, basically two or three story small buildings, and the cost is not very high. If it had not been completed in 1891, the cost would have been saved.

After the construction of the school, other preparations were carried out at the same time.

In addition to the basic buildings, the most important thing in a school is, of course, a large number of excellent teachers, especially professors of various disciplines. Heinz General Hospital now has this qualification, except for Professor Osler of Internal Medicine and Professor of Surgery John, basically Ehrlich. So in the next two years, Osler will send invitations to famous medical scientists in the United States, and of course mainly in Europe!

In order to recruit these big bulls, Mr. Huntelaar gave a dazzling condition.

In addition to the high salary of Professor Osler, John also promised to build a laboratory, the most advanced in the world, for professors who would like to come to New York to teach! Everything will be done with the opinion of each scientist, and a complete set of equipment will be customized from Europe.

This is extremely attractive for scientists of any era!

For physicians in North America, this is undoubtedly the best condition. It is also very attractive to medical scientists from all over Europe. At least New York, as the largest city in North America, doesn't make them feel like a wild place......

……

New York in May is a pleasant climate.

Stepped down as director of the hospital and handed it over to Thomas? Hunt to manage; After finalizing the master plan for the medical school, John handed over the preparations to Professor Osler. Both enjoyed themselves, and John put himself at ease. He goes out of the clinic every day when he goes to work, has surgery, chats with Anna after work, plays cards, and lives a relaxed and comfortable life.

In addition to his busy work at the hospital, John spends two days a week in the lab.

With the exception of John's hand-picked assistants, few knew what he was busy with in the lab, but almost everyone, including Thomas and Ehrlich, was curious and looking forward to his work. What has happened in the last few years. It speaks volumes about the talent and creativity of this young man......

With the passage of time, medical journals in the first half of Europe were gradually sent to the United States.

In the past six months, X-rays and diphtheria antitoxin serum have also caused a sensation in North America, but physicists are concerned with Roentgen, physicians are concerned with the drug itself, and it is difficult for them to notice the news reprinted in the newspapers. Huntelaar. But as academic journals from Europe began to arrive in North America, the name began to appear more and more in the eyes of physicians......

"I think there's a reason for the steady increase in outpatient volume during this period."

In the director's office at Heinz General Hospital. Thomas smiled excitedly, "John has been appearing in those magazines a lot lately, and he also carries the name of our hospital. This further increased our reputation among physicians, which naturally led to an increase in outpatient volume. ”

Since May, the hospital's outpatient volume has almost stabilized at more than 420 people.

Of course, this is something to be happy about, and several giants of the hospital got together to chat, and they all believed that in addition to the accumulation of the hospital itself, the improvement of John's reputation was also a very important aspect. There are so few diseases that doctors can treat these days. In most cases, you can only rely on drugs that contain a lot of alcohol and yapian, so it is also a good idea to refer patients to a reputable physician if they cannot solve the substantive problem.

Compared to Thomas and Osler's ease, Howard? Kelly's face was still helpless, and he smiled bitterly: "It's a pity." Our obstetrics and gynecology department has not been affected much, and now it is the norm to have three or two patients a day, and it would be great if there were more than five people on a given day! ”

After the embarrassment of not having a single patient in the first few days, the obstetrics and gynaecology department of Heinz General Hospital finally welcomed its first patient in early May - a woman who was about to give birth. After that, with another wave of advertisements, two or three patients would come every day, and occasionally as many as four or five.

Of course, the vast majority of them are mothers who give birth.

In the past two years, with the advancement and promotion of surgical disinfection technology, the situation of giving birth in a hospital 20 years ago is more dangerous than giving birth at home. A large number of trained obstetricians and gynaecologists and midwives have made it possible for mothers to receive better help, so that giving birth in the hospital is slowly being accepted. In addition, the excellent environment of Heinz General Hospital has formed a certain reputation in New York City, so that many wealthy families are willing to choose here.

However, and Howard? Kelly's expectations were far off!

The hospital he opened in that miner's city was full of patients every day, and now it has a better environment, but there are only a few patients, which is not so pleasant for a doctor.

"Don't worry."

Raising his eyebrows, John smiled and comforted, "It's a bit frustrating to have no patients, but ...... Howard, don't you think it's a great opportunity? ”

"Opportunity? What do you mean? ”

Howard? Kelly was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

Smiling slightly, John patiently explained: "Of course it's an opportunity to accumulate!" Howard, have you forgotten what you studied in Europe? ”

"You mean...... Blood transfusion techniques and uterotomy? ”

After hearing this, Kelly's eyes gradually lit up!

"Not bad!"

Nodding, John said solemnly: "I have been studying blood transfusion technology in the laboratory recently, and now I have eyebrows, and I believe that there will be certain results in three months at most!" And for uterotomy, although I am not an obstetrician and gynecologist, I should have no problem giving you some advice......"

"Gotcha! Get! ”

Just as Kelly was about to ask a question, there was a knock on the office door.

Thomas's brows couldn't help frowning, and he said in a deep voice: "Please come in!" ”

"Squeak!"

The door was opened from the outside, and a little nurse with freckles on her face looked carefully inside, and then her face panicked! There are now four people in the room: John, Thomas, Osler and Kelly, which are almost the current Big Four of Heinz General Hospital, and the eyes of the four bigwigs are fixed on a little nurse at the same time, which makes her panic and stammer: "Hug, I'm sorry, gentlemen." A patient just came to the obstetrics and gynecology department, Steve? Mr. Cole asked me to come to Mr. Kelly and ask him to go back as soon as possible! ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Kelly immediately stood up, and didn't bother to go up and ask John what his so-called suggestion was, and walked out: "Lucy, what's the situation with this patient?" Can't Mr. Cole handle it? ”

"The uterus bleeds non-stop, sir!"

The little nurse hurriedly replied, and then timidly saluted John and the others, "Sorry to bother, goodbye, gentlemen." ”

After hearing the little nurse say goodbye, Kelly reacted, and quickly turned his head and said, "Then I'll go and have a look first, a few of you will talk first, and I'll come over when the patient is finished!" ”

"Okay, you can go quickly."

Waving his hand, John said with a smile. At any given time, the most important thing for a physician is to treat the patient, and this is well known.

After Kelly closed the door and left, Osler asked curiously, "Mr. Huntelaar, you just said that you could give Howard some advice...... Can you ask what kind of advice you are? ”

After a slight hesitation, John smiled calmly: "Actually, it's very simple, it's a suggestion about the uterine breaking technique." Mr. Sanger of Leipzig pioneered the longitudinal incision of the uterine body, which effectively controlled bleeding and infection, and preserved the uterus, greatly reducing mortality. However, I personally think that Mr. Sanger has more complications in the operation, and the second pregnancy is also more troublesome, and there is still room for improvement in the uterine otobaccotomy, which can be improved......"
