Chapter IX Confirmation
If he wasn't very familiar with Cushing's syndrome, I'm afraid John wouldn't have remembered what the name Cushing meant for a while......
Harvey? Cushing is an American neurosurgeon.
Got a B.A. from Yale, an M.D. from Harvard, a 10-year stint at Hopkins, and then a return to Harvard Medical School. Cushing's life, whether he studied or worked, was at the top of the industry in the United States in this era - Yale University was on the rise, Harvard was in full swing before the establishment of the Hopkins School of Medicine, and after the Hopkins model was popularized, he returned to Harvard, which was more financially powerful!
By any measure, this is a winner in life.
In the medical field, Harvey? Cushing undoubtedly left his name in the history of medicine, improving neurosurgical techniques, Cushing syndrome, and founding Harvey? Cushing Society, later known as the American Association of Neurosurgical Specialists. What's even more amazing is that as a medical scientist with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale University, Harvey? Cushing also used his experience working at Hopkins to write about William? Osler's biography, won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography!
To put it simply, this is yet another crossover genius!
But history gives Harvey? Cushing's highest praise is also related to his achievements in the medical field, especially in the field of neurosurgery, such as the pioneer of neurosurgery and the father of neurosurgery in the United States.
Of course, our John? Mr. Huntelaar has always scoffed at the so-called father of such and such a discipline.
Especially when he traveled back more than 100 years ago, he even more agreed and supported this view. For example, the surgical sterilization technique that made Liszt leave a huge reputation in history has the persistence and sacrifice of Semmelweiss in the front, the perfection and progress of Bergman and others in the back, and the British, Germans, and even many Americans have done a lot for this in the middle. Liszt only made a relatively prominent contribution in a specific period.
Of course, it would be appropriate to say that his contribution was the greatest.
But in terms of the fact that such and such a discipline or such and such a theory is the father alone, John feels that it must be inappropriate. Take his own blood group theory and vitamin theory as an example, in fact, many scientists and physicians have already conducted relevant research, and John's theory must stand on the basis of their theory! In the end, it is the process of transformation of medicine from an empirical discipline to a modern science. After all, the role of one person is limited, and unless John himself can ignore the laws of scientific development, or can throw out the entire book in the future, it is impossible to completely control the development of a discipline. So after he came up with theories such as blood types and vitamins, he did not rush to completely perfect them, but left the follow-up work to others.
Anyway, if the person on the list is really Harvey? Cushing's words......
"That's a lot of money!"
Staring at the name on the registration list, John was quite excited.
The first class of students at Heinz Medical School is naturally of great significance to the school. Both John and Professor Osler want to be able to recruit good enough students and train them to be the best MDs! It's just that when the time comes, the number of applicants is still only about 40 people, to be honest, they are a little disappointed. But now see Harvey? Cushing's name, John's heart suddenly welled up with infinite pride!
What if the number of applicants is small?
The first class of students at Heinz Medical School, John and Osler themselves did not plan to recruit many people, twenty was the goal of the plan, but even seven or eight were acceptable. Today, there are only about 40 applicants. Far less than they expected, but with the quality of teaching and investment in the school. Can't we train real talents?
Are you kidding!
"Professor, go ahead and advertise."
After calming down, John's mood quickly regained his calmness, and he said calmly: "No matter how many people sign up, our screening criteria remain the same, and we will teach a few if we can recruit a few!" I believe that as long as we do our job well enough. In a few years, Heinz Medical College will be in the spotlight. ”
"Hmm...... All right. ”
After a moment of silence, Osler nodded calmly as well.
If there is anyone in this world who is as confident as John in the Heinz School of Medicine, which has just started its first enrollment year, it is probably Osler. The physician and educator who pioneered the Hopkins model of education in history knew very well what kind of energy he and Mr. Huntelaar had founded. Naturally, I was convinced of John's words!
After hesitating for a moment, John suddenly smiled and said, "Professor, our admission interview is in mid-July, right?" ”
According to the original plan, the medical school admissions promotion was limited to New York and a few surrounding large cities, partly because the school had just been established and the enrollment scale was not large, and partly because of the transportation and communication conditions of this era, which attracted people from other places to study in New York, and it was too difficult for a new school. However, even so, the medical school has promised all students travel expenses and other expenses, which is quite a strong investment.
"yes, isn't that what you decided?"
Osler frowned, and asked rhetorically, a little puzzled.
"Hehe, I'm dizzy."
Smiling awkwardly, John quickly said: "Professor, this is the first enrollment of our school, I look at the interview after the entrance exam, and you and I will be directly responsible......"
……
Wanting to participate in the school interview, John naturally wanted to "verify" the authenticity of Mr. Cushing.
But before the entrance exams for the first class of Heinz Medical College began, John met three young people from General Motors who had returned from Europe. With a sense of anticipation, John personally met the three young men, and also met the Henry? Mr. Ford!
After some conversation, John determined that he was the same Henry? Ford!
Historically, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, the first entrepreneur to use the assembly line to build automobiles, the model T, the great entrepreneur who changed the way Americans lived......
After confirming Ford's identity, John suddenly became a little uneasy.
John remembers the changes to the automobile industry very well, and he also understands that this is an absolute genius! And John also knows that such a person may not be willing to work for others all the time, if he learns the general skills in advance, he will definitely be a more terrible opponent than Benz if he goes out and works alone!
But......
Thinking about the long-term employment contract and the restrictions he had signed, and then thinking about the patents he had already acquired and the vision that was ahead of his time, John quickly settled down.
The Model T may be slightly more advanced than the Aurora, but the gap is certainly not big; John certainly didn't understand assembly lines or anything, but the concept was more important than the technology; As for talents, funds and connections, he has now thrown off countless streets of Ford, plus his identity as a traverser, if he can't compete for a Henry? In the case of Ford, it would be better to give up the auto industry early......

This Spring Festival is really a festive loss.
I went home yesterday, and I only touched the computer today, and I'll return to normal updates tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
