Chapter 52: Hopkins
John? Johns Hopkins University, founded by the late Baltimore tycoon John ? Hopkins donated all of his family property to build it.
More than 100 years later, this university may not be as high as Harvard, Yale or MIT, and it is not particularly well-known in the world, but in the history of American higher education, the university named after the donor has an irreplaceable position!
The first to introduce the educational model of the University of Berlin, the first to start recruiting students by specialty, and the first to start modern postgraduate education......
Just a few years after the establishment of Hopkins University, Harvard, Yale and other old famous universities began to reform in imitation of Germany, setting off a new era of higher education in the United States!
And as part of Hopkins University, John? The Hopkins School of Medicine is equally prestigious.
The first medical school in the modern sense of the word in the history of the United States admitted only college students with a sufficient scientific and engineering foundation from the first day of its establishment, and introduced the German education model and the residency system. After the first class of students graduated from Hopkins Medical School, this philosophy and educational model expanded rapidly with these elites, and became a benchmark for the entire United States as Harvard and other major institutions followed suit......
However, that was after 1893.
In 1885, not to mention the Hopkins School of Medicine, even the Hopkins Hospital had to wait three or four years to be built. Mr. Welch, he had not yet met any of his helpers at this time......
Therefore, after listening to the principal's words, Welch was completely excited!
"We need the best doctors!"
After standing up and tossing and turning around the office for a while, Welch suddenly stopped and said solemnly, "I need at least one physician, one surgeon, and one obstetrician and gynecologist...... Mr. Gilman. Hopkins University is the best university in the United States right now, and I hope that Hopkins Hospital in the future should also be the best hospital! ”
"Of course, Mr. Welch!"
With a slight smile, Gilman gave the pathology professor unwavering support!
That's exactly what Gilman was all about, and in fact, in the hundreds of years since Hopkins was founded, it was one of the best hospitals in the country. Most of the time, it is at the top of the rankings of various hospitals.
As if something had suddenly occurred to him, Welch's eyes lit up, and he turned his head sharply to look at the German Medicine journal on the table......
……
Turning his gaze back to the continent across the ocean, John arrived at the door of the hospital's chapel just before the meeting was about to open on Monday morning.
He was joined by Bergmann, Liszt and Bierrot.
In fact, most of the surgeons who came to Berlin this time, except for Liszt and Bierrot, were senior surgeons in some hospitals, or so-called "local famous doctors" who practiced independently. None of the professors of surgery at some universities are promising. On the one hand, because they are really busy with work, it is difficult to find at least two weeks to make a trip, and on the other hand, the professors' reserve also makes them reluctant to go to other people's territory to participate in such meetings that are purely listening to other people's lectures.
In this respect, Liszt and Bierrot are exceptions.
The two surgeons had come so far because John had what they wanted and needed so much. Liszt needed a new type of sterilization technology, and he was now eager to learn more about John's new inventions and sterilization practices, which he himself said had started. Bilrot, on the other hand, came for appendectomy. He wanted to figure out why John's laparotomy was 100% successful, while his stomach cancer resection was so frequent......
Over time. The surgeons who came to the meeting came to the venue in twos and threes, and after seeing a few people standing at the gate, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and then walked in with doubts on their faces.
John, the four of them, of course, were not greeting them.
In fact, even as the host of this conference, there is no need for a status like Bergman to stand at the door of the venue. Not to mention Liszt and Bierrot. It's just that the person who is waiting for the next person is really unusual, so a few bigwigs are willing to wait at the door.
Robert? Koch, a real big shot.
Although the three professors are all masters in the field of surgery, they are surgeons after all, and their status is inferior. Not to mention Koch's reputation for discovering Mycobacterium tuberculosis. And just last year, Koch discovered the cholera bacillus again, although John knew that someone had already discovered it before, but the influence was very weak, but for others, Robert? The name Koch is synonymous with the top bigwigs!
"John, have you agreed on a time with Mr. Koch?"
Seeing that the time was getting closer, Bergman couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Don't worry, there's still ten minutes."
After looking at the pocket watch, John replied in the presence of the old god.
He wasn't worried that Koch would release his pigeons, the other party was studying bacteria and wanted to find a way to get rid of them, while John was studying surgical disinfection techniques and methods to eliminate bacteria, in essence, the two were essentially the same, and John believed that Koch would not miss a good opportunity to communicate with the surgeons.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, a figure walked over from a distance.
"Mr. Koch has arrived."
When he saw the figure, John greeted him with a smile.
Everyone hurriedly followed and exchanged pleasantries with Koch for a while. Koch's name is undoubtedly quite bluffing, and for the two surgeons, Koch cannot be neglected either, especially Liszt's achievements in surgical sterilization have always been admired by him. Everyone talked happily until John reminded them that the time was almost up, and then they walked into the small hall together.
Numerous surgeons had already sat down inside.
As soon as the five of them walked in, there was a slight commotion in the auditorium. After taking a seat in the first row, Bergman nodded at John and said, "Alright, let's get started." ”
Today's meeting is chaired by John.
After nodding, John stepped up to the podium, first bowed slightly to the audience, and then laughed loudly: "Good morning, gentlemen, I'm John, associate professor of surgery at the University of Berlin?" Huntelaar, welcome to the University of Berlin Charlotte Hospital, it is a great pleasure to meet you. It would be a great privilege to be able to discuss issues with so many excellent surgeons! ”
"Whoa......
As soon as John's words fell, the auditorium burst into applause.
Amid the not-so-enthusiastic applause, John glanced at the small crowd of less than sixty people in the audience. Although the small number of people was not even as lively as in the previous life, when Corey handed over work on Monday, but inexplicably, there was a rush of heat in his chest......
