Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of April.

"Good morning, Mr. Huntelaar."

Walking into John's office with a thick stack of envelopes, Miss Brown's eyes filled with an indescribable resentment: "These are the letters I have saved up for the last two months...... I saw your wedding report in the newspaper and Miss Brister is such a lucky girl! ”

"Haha, good morning, Miss Brown."

Looking up from his desk, the smile on John's face said it all.

The honeymoon was on the East Coast of the United States, and John and Anna, along with three servants, traveled through cities such as Philadelphia, Boston, and Baltimore. The newlyweds' honeymoon journey, the two of them are naturally like honey blending oil, and John is also completely relaxed.

Ignoring Miss Brown's resentment about not being able to attend her boss's wedding, John opened the letter one by one.

Three days after returning from his honeymoon, John was once again in his hospital. Only this time he didn't come and leave like a dragonfly, but really started his regular work. Today, Heinz General Hospital has completely made a name for itself in New York City, with more than 300 outpatient visits a day, and about 400 people most days, which is a remarkable number for New York at the end of the 19th century, and John can't wait to join it!

More than thirty letters, and it was already ten o'clock in the morning when John read them.

"Gotcha! Get! ”

With two soft knocks, Thomas pushed the door and walked in, "John, it's almost time." ”

"Hmm...... Good. ”

Looking at the time, John stretched and stood up, nodded with a smile, and said, "Let's go, don't keep everyone waiting." ”

The two of them went out together. I came to the small conference room, which was already full.

After a brief pleasantry, John was the only one standing, and after looking around, he said straight to the point: "Gentlemen, I think some of you have already guessed the purpose of inviting you here today, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a slight commotion in the conference room.

Wait until the commotion has subsided. John smiled slightly and continued: "Actually, the matter is very simple, starting tomorrow, I will officially step down as the president of Heinz General Hospital...... Haha, in fact, seriously speaking, our hospital has only been open for more than a year, but I haven't been in the hospital for about a year, and this director is a bit unworthy of the name, right? ”

……

There was silence in the conference room, and it was obviously cold.

"Ahem! Cough! ”

John, who originally wanted to humor, was suddenly embarrassed, and coughed lightly twice before moving the corners of his mouth. And then he said, "So I decided to start tomorrow, Thomas? Mr. Hunt succeeded me as the President of Heinz General Hospital, with overall responsibility for the day-to-day operation and management of the hospital! ”

At John's gaze, Thomas immediately stood up.

"Bang Bang ......"

Professor Osler was the first to slap himself, and then, as if lighting a fuse, the applause filled the entire room. The rumors of this matter have long been revealed, and in the past year, as the actual controller of the hospital. Thomas had also built up enough prestige that John's decision did not cause the slightest ripple.

A pair of fiery eyes under the gaze. Thomas's heart is also surging!

The life experience of the past few years is like a dream for him. When he first started working with John, he was just a general surgeon at Charlotte Hospital, and he got the opportunity to work with John by chance. At first, he was only interested in John's research on surgical sterilization techniques and appendectomy, and joined it with a cautious attitude, but he didn't expect it to be out of control. Then new discoveries such as local anesthesia came one after another, and then he followed Mr. Huntelaar to North America and founded the Heinz General Hospital......

In just five years, Thomas has completed a magnificent turnaround!

Five years is a long time, for an ordinary person in the 19th century. Life is only ten and five years, but for a doctor, especially a young doctor, five years from a general surgeon to the director of a large hospital is as fast as riding a rocket......

The kind of rocket of the future, of course!

A sense of accomplishment filled Thomas's heart at this time, so much so that when John motioned for him to say a few words, he just bowed and said solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Huntelaar, for believing in me, gentlemen, I will not disappoint you!" ”

"Bang Bang ......"

With John leading the way, the applause in the room rang out again.

Secretly observing the expressions on the faces of the others, John was also very satisfied. Thomas was the first physician to follow John, and his personal relationship was quite good, so it was only fitting that he would succeed the dean. And it seems that everyone has no opinion on his appointment, which reduces a lot of trouble.

With joy in his heart, John's voice was much louder: "Sir, please be quiet, I will announce three decisions next!" ”

Within two or three seconds, the conference room fell silent.

"The first thing is about obstetrics and gynecology."

Nodding with satisfaction, John smiled and said aloud, "Howard? Mr. Kelly, everyone must be familiar with it, right? Starting from May 1st, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology officially opened, and Mr. Kelly will also officially take up the position of Director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology! This is a new diagnosis and treatment project in our hospital, and we hope that everyone will be able to support us in the future...... Mr. Kelly, get up and say hello to everyone! ”

In a round of applause, Howard? Kelly got up and said a few words.

The opening of the obstetrics and gynecology department and Kelly's appointment were decided as early as last year, and everyone naturally had no doubts. Including the three obstetricians and gynecologists that Kelly brought from Europe, because of their experience of studying in Europe, they were not excluded by the doctors at Heinz General Hospital......

Speaking of which, John has now faintly noticed the sign.

Most of the doctors at Heinz General Hospital are from Europe, most of them are American students, and a few are Germans. At the end of the 19th century, the turtles were indeed more capable than the graduates of their own universities, which caused doctors to seem to look down on their own doctors.

John knew that he was largely responsible for this.

But if you think about it again, he can't do anything, after all, the doctors trained by the Americans in these years really have nothing to say, just one word: rotten! The only way to change that is to wait for the first graduating class of John's medical school or Hopkins Medical School to graduate......

After a moment's pause, John came back to his senses and said, "The second thing is about the medical school that is being built!" ”

"Huh!"

As soon as John's words fell, everyone's eyes looked in Professor Osler's direction.

Thomas took over as dean, Howard? Kelly became the head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Professor Osler was in charge of preparing for the establishment of the medical school, these three things are almost well known in Heinz General Hospital.

However, to everyone's surprise, Professor Osler's face was calm, and John continued to say loudly: "The planning plan of the medical school has been determined, and construction will start next month, and the address is not far from our hospital...... It would be one of the most invested medical schools in the United States, no, it should be said to be the world! However, everyone should understand that in addition to the hardware facilities such as buildings and equipment, a real medical school also needs a large number of excellent professors and lecturers! Our medical school was scheduled to admit its first class in 1891, and before that time we had to prepare our teaching forces......"

"Buzz ......"

When you hear this, where can everyone in the conference room not understand?

In the midst of the commotion, John said: "Gentlemen, Heinz General Hospital will exist as an affiliated hospital of the medical school in the future, and a considerable part of the lecturers will be served by the doctors of the hospital!" So if you're interested, you can already start preparing now......"

"Boom ......"

After John's confirmation, the commotion in the conference room suddenly rose to a level.

"Ahem! Ahem! ”

At this moment, Professor Osler stood up and coughed lightly to restore calm to the conference room. Under everyone's gaze, the professor of internal medicine said indifferently: "Gentlemen, Mr. Huntelaar is very generous, and concurrently serving as a lecturer in medical school means another salary, but here I want to explain that although everyone has the experience of studying abroad in top European universities, if you want to be a lecturer in medical school, you still have to pass the assessment, and the assessment criteria will be jointly formulated by me and Mr. Huntelaar!" Therefore, I strongly recommend that everyone choose a course that they are good at, and don't be greedy, because in the past two years, we will also recruit full-time lecturers from Europe with high salaries! And besides teaching, your more important job is in the hospital......"

Like a bucket of cold water, pour it on your head!

For many special reasons, most of the doctors at Heinz General Hospital are young, which means that they are energetic and receptive to new things, but they also lack teaching experience. The vast majority of people have never had teaching experience, and to meet the standards of Mr. Huntelaar and Professor Osler, it must not be easy to think about!

After hearing this, many people have begun to retreat.

There are also a few people, but at this time, they looked thoughtful, quietly thinking about what the two bigwigs just said. The salary of this part-time job is not easy to get, especially as Professor Osler just said, he will recruit lecturers from Europe with high salaries, and in terms of Mr. Huntelaar's consistent style, poaching people must also dig the best, and the two are judged by comparison!

But......

Although it is difficult, if you think about it differently, isn't this an opportunity?

"Okay, you can think about it!"

Clapping his hands, John interrupted everyone's contemplation and said with a smile: "Next is the third thing, although I have stepped down from the position of director of the hospital, it does not mean that I have left the hospital, in fact, I have stepped down from the position of director so that I can devote myself to the work of the doctor!" In the next two years, I will return to surgery, and I have been thinking about several topics in the last year of surgical practice, and I need some help, and those who are interested can also consider ......"
