Leave professional things to professionals, this is John's consistent principle.

Buying land is naturally handed over to Steve, although this kid has not paid attention to the family business in recent years because of the prosperity of Lego Toy Company, but since the family is still in the real estate business, it is still the most suitable to help John buy land. So after giving a verbal standard of buying as much as possible under $300,000, John threw the matter to him.

As for the design of the school, John didn't dare to do it for him this time.

To put it bluntly, although the scale of Heinz General Hospital is not small, it is already one of the largest hospitals in New York City, but John himself knows very well that the speed of development of New York City in the future will far exceed people's imagination, and this scale will only last for twenty or thirty years at most. In addition, with the development of building technology, high-rise buildings will dominate sooner or later, so most of the buildings in the hospital will be demolished and rebuilt sooner or later because they cannot meet the needs.

But in medical school, it's a different story.

For a top university, the rich history is often the most talked about place, don't you see those famous universities that have lasted for more than 100 years, often have iconic buildings or landscapes? What does it feel like to be visited by outsiders or new students when they see buildings that are more than 100 years old but are still in normal use?

In this respect, the vain Mr. Huntelaar is very willing to spend money.

So this kind of important work naturally can't be decided easily, and John finally entrusted the matter to his grandfather, hoping that the well-connected old Huntelaar could find more excellent designers. The architecture of any era has its own characteristics, and John hopes that a hundred years from now, the builders of the medical school will still be able to see the unique flavor of this era.

At the same time, the elder Huntelaar was left with a stack of planning materials about the medical school.

In this information, there is all John can think of. The buildings that medical schools need to have and the functions that they must have, as for how to design and build them, it is the designers' business. Of course, the designers had half a year to plan, and when John returned from Europe, it was time to finally choose the plan......

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the days passed day by day.

Because this time it will be several months to go to Europe. So John had a lot to do before leaving. For example, several commercial companies that have been growing steadily, such as Heinz Pharmaceutical Company and Heinz Medical Devices Company, which have grown in production and sales, such as New York Electric Company, which has become a star enterprise, such as Lego Toy Company, which has always been controlled by Steve, and for example, the elevator company that has been established but has only few orders, and so on. Although John only owned a large number of shares in these companies and did not directly manage them, at the behest of old Huntelaar, he had to go there himself every once in a while, on the one hand, he had to show his presence. On the other hand, the elder Huntelaar also demanded that he must know the exact situation of these companies......

Several companies are doing very well, much to John's great satisfaction.

The fastest growing company is undoubtedly the New York Electric Company, which is under Morgan's control, and has begun to show itself as a power giant. In the past few years, Tesla's technology and the money of the Huntelaar family have advanced alternating current technology by several years compared to the same period in history, and Morgan, who successfully picked peaches, was extremely pleased to find that New York Power's technology showed an almost overwhelming advantage over its main competitors, Westinghouse Electric and Edison Electric Lamps! This is especially true in the areas of power generation equipment, transmission technology and tungsten light bulbs. Soon the two companies couldn't hold their heads up.

The development of Lego toys and two Heinz medical companies is relatively stable, and the former is steadily expanding the market. The latter two are gradually increasing production, and the prospects can be said to be bright.

The only thing that made John a little unhappy was the elevator company that had not been established for a long time.

Although it had the demonstration effect of Heinz General Hospital, there were too few high-rise buildings in those years, and the power supply was too small and expensive, so only three units were sold since its establishment. This made John a little regretful. If it weren't for the small size of the company, it would be a loss of thousands of dollars a year, and the elevator thing would have developed rapidly in more than ten years at most, and John might have closed its doors long ago.

But......

When John saw Tesla again, these regrets disappeared without a trace.

Radio research is progressing very well. Tesla has even built a third prototype, but unfortunately I don't know what is wrong, the radio signal is so bad that it is not even worth demonstrating to the public and preempting the patent. Fortunately, John was not in a hurry, patiently comforted Tesla, who was a little anxious, and then left a large amount of research funds and left.

In the future, when it is not necessary, John is not going to do it himself.

As long as Tesla doesn't fall out with the Huntelaar family, John wants to continue to work with the great scientist. He came up with ideas and ideas, Tesla was responsible for specific research and development, and then brought in collaborators to be responsible for the replenishment of funds and the management of the enterprise when appropriate. After all, John didn't have the heart to manage a specific industry, and Tesla didn't have a talent for it as a scientist, so it was the most efficient way to do it......

Just like radio now, John never wanted to have a two-man monopoly with Tesla.

Marconi is still a fourteen or fifteen-year-old kid, and it is impossible for him to invent the radio before Tesla, and with the support of the Huntelaar family, it will not be so easy for anyone to take Tesla's patent away. But in this era, radio technology is too sensitive, involving politics, military and other aspects, so John has been seriously considering whether to keep the patent in the future or simply sell it......

The rest of the time, John was left to Heinz General Hospital.

Considering that he would soon be leaving for Europe, John did not insist on continuing to go to the clinic or have surgery, but would often pay attention to the case reports admitted to the hospital. Most of the time, he focused on a few studies, spending the last month in Ehrlich's lab and several physicians' offices.

Ehrlich's research on antitoxin serums has been improving.

The mice infected with diphtheria bacillus were rescued one by one, if not for John's safety concerns. Moreover, the more critical antitoxin serum purification technology has not yet been raised, so patiently persuade Ehrlich to wait a little longer, I am afraid that the other party will not be able to wait to publish the paper. Of course, because it was John who proposed the study and gave a specific plan, Ehrlich, although he was a little puzzled, finally agreed to the boss's request: with John's sufficient financial support anyway. He estimated that the problem of serum purification could be solved in half a year at most, and he felt that he could wait for half a year.

In addition, the vitamin research cooperated by two internal medicine physicians and the laboratory has also been slowly rolled out.

After the banner of free diagnosis and treatment was erected, the number of patients with rickets and night blindness admitted to Heinz General Hospital gradually increased, providing them with a relatively abundant source of disease. After an initial period of ignorance, the more they learned about the treatment in this area, especially when they found that the effects of animal experiments were very significant, and many of the patients they followed up began to improve. The initial novelty and confusion slowly turned into interest, and they became more and more engaged in their work.

Because of the limitations of technology, it is indeed difficult to purify vitamins in this era, but clinical research has been ahead of the curve.

At last......

As it approached the end of June, just over a week before John's departure, he summoned Thomas, Paul, and Robert to his office on a hot Monday.

Under the premise that Osler and Kelly have not yet arrived, these three people are now John's most valued subordinates.

Thomas is now the hospital's vice president. He is also the director of surgery, and will take over John's position in the future. Became the director of Heinz General Hospital. Although Paul and Robert are currently just ordinary surgeons, John has already made corresponding arrangements for their future: Paul is of course a major in anesthesia, and he is likely to be the world's first full-time anesthesiologist and the director of the anesthesiology department of Heinz General Hospital in the future. So try to train him to be Thomas's assistant......

"Gentlemen!"

After everyone was seated, John said straight to the point: "Everyone should know that I will leave for Europe next week, and the time will probably be as long as four months, or even half a year...... So in the time I'm away. The affairs of the hospital will be managed by Thomas, and you two will have to do a good job of supporting work. ”

"Well, don't worry."

Hearing this, they were slightly stunned at first, and the three of them nodded almost at the same time.

The three of them couldn't help but be a little puzzled at this time, because they had already known about this matter, so they didn't quite understand what John meant by calling them this time. Could it be that there is something that needs to be explained?

Without leaving them to doubt for long, John quickly picked up a thick file bag from the table and handed it to Thomas: "Gentlemen, during the time I am away, I want you to take a good look at this document. ”

"Oh? What is this information? ”

Thomas hurriedly took the file bag and asked casually.

They were used to John giving him some information from time to time, but when he took over the document bag today, Thomas's hand sank instantly, and the thickness and weight of the document made him a little secretly surprised.

"This should be a book, to be exact!"

Smiling slightly, John explained, "A book that I spent almost a year writing, the name of which is ...... Well, you can call him Huntelaar Surgery for the time being. ”

"A book? Huntelaar Surgery? ”

After hearing this, the three of them were shocked at the same time, and Paul's eyes instantly widened!

The trio had known for a long time that John would write a book about his understanding and knowledge of surgery, and they thought that John did have the qualifications to do so—at least because of his achievements in the fields of sterilization, anesthesia, and abdominal surgery. Paul and Robert, while discussing it in private, even set the date of the founding of the medical school, and John's book would become a textbook for his students.

But they never imagined that this day would come so early!

Instead, the book was named after the surname Huntelaar, and none of the three of them paid much attention to it. Not to mention that it's just a title now, not the last name, even if John named the book after his last name, there seems to be nothing to question about it, anyway, it seems that many people have done it these days.

"Yes, a book."

After taking a deep breath, John said, "It records all my knowledge and understanding of surgery, including aseptic surgery, anesthesia, pre- and post-operative treatment, prevention of surgical infections, and surgical treatment of diseases such as appendicitis. In addition, there are some basic techniques that I have summarized for a long time, such as surgical positioning, surgical incision, tissue incision and separation, intraoperative hemostasis, and final sutures. I hope that during the six months that I am gone, you will distribute this information to all the surgeons in the hospital and give them full support in their practice......"

……

In June 1888, Huntelaar surgery appeared to the world for the first time.

There were only three people who saw this book on this day, Thomas, Paul and Robert from Heinz General Hospital in New York, USA. Mr. Huntelaar's surgeon. What appeared before them was a purely handwritten book of "only" more than 200 pages of original material, and all the illustrations in the book were drawn by John himself, one by one. In this work of surgery, the content is still extremely "primitive", there is no transplantation, no cranial disease, no surgical description of lung, cardiothoracic and other diseases, no metabolism and nutrition of surgical patients, no concept of shock and perioperative, and no mention of surgical transfusion in which John himself has already published a paper.

There is no doubt that the first edition of Huntelaar surgery was extremely rudimentary.

Most of the content of the book is at the level of surgery at the end of the 19th century, and the excess part is basically all the research of Mr. Huntelaar himself, and it is only about 200 pages, which is not worth mentioning compared to the more than 2,000 pages of the classic "Kline's Surgery" a hundred years later.

But at this time even John? Mr. Huntelaar himself could not have imagined what the appearance of this book meant for the development of foreign science, and what a profound impact it would have on the future development of the discipline...... (To be continued......)
