Heinz General Hospital.

A line of shiny large letters, so clear and dazzling in John's night sky.

At the first glance of the line of big words that had just been lit up, Osler and Kelly were both stunned. The two of them, who had never seen such a large-scale use of light bulbs, were filled with incredible wonder as if they were countrymen who had seen a train for the first time!

"Gentlemen, that's Heinz General Hospital!"

Pointing to the bright light not far away, John said proudly: "The six-story hospital building is one of the tallest buildings in New York City right now!" Inside that building, there was at least one electric light in every room, and there was an elevator between each floor...... Well, electrically powered elevators to go up and down! ”

"Goo-dong!"

Osler and Kelly heard their own saliva at the same time.

Of course, they would not have doubted Mr. Huntelaar's words, for even from their own position, they could see a little light coming out of the windows of the rooms in the building under the brightest lines. Obviously, that is the brightness of the light bulb, which ordinary kerosene lamps and candles cannot achieve.

"In addition to this six-story building, there are several other buildings in the hospital!"

Striking while the iron was hot, John then smiled: "One of them is a special research building, in which three laboratories have been established, and a teaching building, which is prepared for the teaching of future medical students...... Of course, the medical school must have chosen a different location, but the hospital also prepared a teaching building for them to use when entering the clinic. There is also an obstetrics and gynecology building and a pediatric building, but they are not in use for the time being due to a lack of corresponding doctors. ”

At this point, John gave Kelly a meaningful look.

It's just that at this time, Kelly didn't have the heart to pay attention to John's expression, he looked at the big line in the distance in a daze, but the focus of his pupils was obviously not on it. Thoughts don't know where to go.

On the contrary, Professor Osler quickly regained his composure after a short period of surprise, but at this time, he also nodded with admiration on his face and said, "Mr. Huntelaar, after listening to your introduction just now, I am now more and more eager to go to the hospital to have a look!" ”

"Haha, don't worry!"

After a hearty smile. John shook his head and said, "Tomorrow, wait until tomorrow morning!" Tomorrow morning I will take the two of you to the hospital for a comprehensive tour, so that you can take a closer look at it and ...... The hospital building during the day has a different feeling than it is now......"

……

Early the next morning, John arrived at the hotel.

Osler and Kelly, who had not slept well all night, waited at the door of the hotel early, and eagerly asked John to take them to the hospital immediately. John, who originally wanted to invite the two of them to breakfast first, saw that they were so impatient. I had no choice but to set off with them on an empty stomach.

In more than ten minutes, several people walked from the hotel to the hospital.

Having become accustomed to the steel jungles of the metropolis in his previous life, John still can't imagine how people in 1888 would have felt when they saw a six-story building in New York, but that didn't stop him from admiring the shocking expressions of these people every time.

Osler and Kelly are certainly no exception.

After standing across the hospital for three minutes, Osler and Kelly were led into the "majestic" building.

As soon as they entered, Osler and Kelly stopped again.

This is a large hall, with a full area of two or three hundred square meters. Perhaps because the hospital has not yet reached its opening time, there are only a few patients waiting in the hall. But it's also because of the small number of people. The expansive space dazzles Osler and Kelly, offering a panoramic view of the entire hall: the outpatient area, the registration area, and the charging area......

The areas with obvious signs are well organized and can be seen at a glance.

"Good morning, Mr. Huntelaar!"

"It's in the morning, Miss Scarlett."

The three of them had stood for less than five seconds when a young, lovely blonde girl immediately greeted them. He greeted John respectfully, and glanced at Osler and Kelly with a little curiosity. It is rare to have Mr. Huntelaar personally accompany him to the hospital, and to seem to have a very warm attitude.

"This is unique to our hospital, a dedicated medical guide!"

Seeing Osler and Kelly, they were also a little curious. John explained with a smile: "When it first opened, there were up to four people, but now it has been reduced to one person who is responsible for answering patients' questions. For example, what procedures are required to seek medical treatment, and for example, whether you should go to surgery or internal medicine, etc. ”

"Yes, very considerate."

After listening to John's explanation, Kelly nodded repeatedly.

Professor Osler seemed to be more interested in Miss Scarlett's dress than Kelly, who was concerned about the hospital's humane measures, and he looked at the clothes of the young lady in front of him, and then at the other doctors and nurses who hurried by in the hall from time to time, and asked thoughtfully, "Mr. Huntelaar, I have read your paper on the dress of surgeons, but these doctors and nurses ......"

"Hehe, our hospital requires them to dress uniformly!"

Smiling slightly, John patiently explained: "In my opinion, the professionalism and authority of medical staff must be reflected in the hospital, so the special and uniform dress can increase the confidence of patients, and at the same time, it can also facilitate them to consult with anyone in the hospital." In addition, the white coats of the doctors and the uniforms of the nurses are also convenient for uniform disinfection, which is also a requirement for the hygienic environment of the hospital. ”

"Oh, I see."

John's unusually simple explanation soon made Osler nod his head again in agreement.

After giving the two of them a rough introduction to the functions of each area in the hall, John looked at the time and smiled: "Gentlemen, today is Monday, the hall should be busy soon, how about we go to other places and see?" ”

"Good!"

Osler and Kelly spat out a word.

If John's ambition to build this hospital can be seen from the majesty of the building, simply from one hall, both of them can see the difference between this place and other hospitals, and naturally they are even more curious about the other parts.

With two future bulls with surprised faces, John let them know Heinz General Hospital little by little.

"Gentlemen, this is an internal medicine outpatient area, and each physician has a separate consultation room to ensure the privacy of patients while ensuring treatment......

"This is our patient room, and in order to ensure that the patients have a good recovery environment, but also to prevent too much influence on each other, we only have a maximum of four beds per ward. Of course, in order to meet the needs of some gentlemen, we also have a special single room, which is much better, and of course the fee is much higher......"

"This is the surgical area, which is divided into three parts according to the requirements for cleanliness...... I'm sorry gentlemen, but we won't be able to visit the operating area for the time being as we prepare for the day's surgery, but tomorrow when I get you all set, we can watch an appendectomy performed by Mr. Thomas himself......"

"Gentlemen, what you are seeing now is the second laboratory in the world. Yes, I named it the laboratory, which is dedicated to providing laboratory services to clinicians, such as diagnosing blood cells for patients with appendicitis and brain abscesses...... I would like to point out that the world's first laboratory was born at the Charlotte Hospital of the University of Berlin, which was also proposed and created by me......"

"This is the nurses' station in the inpatient unit, and at least one nurse is on duty at all times to ensure that patients can be found at all times......"

"This is the doctor's office. For each physician, we guarantee that they have at least a desk, a wardrobe and a bookcase, and only a comfortable environment allows them to focus on their work and research......"

"Because we've just opened, we're only using one or three floors, but I'm sure it won't be long before we start using the top three floors. Gentlemen, I can't wait for you to join us......"

……

By the time I had finished touring the building, it was half past nine in the morning.

On the simple three floors, Osler and Kelly were stunned for two hours, and every time John finished a brief introduction, they were bound to have countless questions. John answered these questions with great patience and meticulousness, without the slightest hint of impatience, for he found that with each question he answered, Osler and Kelly's eyes lit up, and the mood became more and more eager to ask the next question.

It was clear that the idea of the future had a huge impact on them!

So when John finally took them on a tour of the main building of the hospital and walked out through the back door, his eyes had changed from apprehension in the morning to a smile now!

Standing in the open space in front of the building, John said with a bright smile on his face: "Gentlemen, since we did not greet Mr. Ehrlich in advance, we may not be able to visit his institute for the time being. But then, I can take you to see the Faculty Building, the Obstetrics and Gynecology Building, and the Pediatric Building, which are ready for the future! ”

"Which obstetrics and gynecology building is it?"

When he heard this, Kelly almost couldn't wait to look around.

"Huh."

Seeing Mr. Kelly's impressed and eager look, John smiled happily, and Professor Osler also shook his head again and again with the corners of his mouth, not knowing whether he was extremely satisfied with the hospital or laughing at Mr. Kelly's uncontrollable breath.

"That one!"

Without any hesitation, John immediately pointed to a building not far away, and said with a smile: "Mr. Kelly, if you want, that whole building will be yours in the future......" (To be continued......
