“…… So, let's meet at noon on Sunday? ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon, at the gate of Penn Medical School, John asked Professor Osler with a smile on his face.

"Sunday noon, right here!"

Nodding, Professor Osler said seriously, "I'll take a week's vacation, and Howard said he'll spare a week...... Actually, Mr. Huntelaar, you could go back first, and let the two of us go to New York on our own. ”

"Haha, it's okay."

After getting Professor Osler's confirmation again, John smiled happily with a happy wave.

Being able to convince both Osler and Kelly to visit Heinz General Hospital in New York and listen to his own plans and ideas for medical school has exceeded John's expectations. In his opinion, not to mention that it is worth waiting for two and a half days in Philadelphia, even two weeks!

"Goodbye, Professor Osler!"

"Goodbye!"

After a final goodbye wave, John and Henry got into a carriage and drove away from Penn Medical School.

"Sir, why don't we stay nearby?"

After the carriage had traveled some distance, Henry asked with some confusion, "Why should we go back to downtown Philadelphia when you are waiting for the two gentlemen to go back to New York together?" I looked at it during the day, and there is a pretty good hotel near the school. ”

"Hehe, you don't understand."

Without explaining anything to Henry, John closed his eyes with a smile. Living near the medical school will naturally be convenient, but it will also put a lot of pressure on the two of Osler. After all, the distance is close, and the two are likely to come to visit every day out of politeness, so I am afraid that they will not be able to really think quietly......

On the way back to the city, John was in a state of excitement.

William? Osler!

Howard? Kelly!

If both of them could eventually stay in New York and become important members of John's system. I'm afraid he'll laugh out loud in his dreams in the future, right?

At the beginning of the founding of the Hopkins School of Medicine, the most important thing was undoubtedly the "Four Heavenly Kings".

Pathologist William? Welch, physician William? Osler, Surgeon William? Halstead, Obstetrician and Gynecologist Howard? Kelly, these four men occupy a very important historical place in the history of American medicine. They single-handedly founded the Hopkins University School of Medicine. It was the clarion call for a real change in medical education in the United States, and it also made Americans discover that their own country could produce students as well as European universities.

In the history of medical education in the United States, the founding of the Hopkins University School of Medicine and the publication of the Flexner Report are almost as important!

Among the four, John undoubtedly values William the most? Osler.

The Canadian physician graduated from McGill University School of Medicine, one of the most prestigious medical schools in North America, and has since travelled extensively in the United Kingdom, Germany and Austria, which has had a huge impact on him. During his more than 20 years in the United States, he worked at Penn Medical School and then Hopkins, where he reformed the organization and curriculum structure of clinical teaching and promoted the development of medical education and hospital formalization. Osler's work is so important and fruitful. So much so that he was later called the "father of modern medicine" by many people.

Of course, in John's opinion, this title is too exaggerated.

However, it is undeniable that it is precisely because of Osler's reforms in Hopkins that this school has become the best medical school in the United States, and then after the release of the Flexner Report, it has become the most important force in promoting the development of medical education in the United States!

Such a character, of course, is worth waiting for John for a while.

As for Howard? Kelly's words, though not as well-known as Osler and Halstead. But the importance in John's mind was no different. Because in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, he is definitely one of the important figures for a long time to come. Rather, it was because John himself was a surgeon. Halstead, the master surgeon, was not in his plans.

If both of them can join, John's puzzle is undoubtedly more than half complete!

Basic medicine has a big bull like Errich, and of course John himself, which is enough in a short time, and the most important clinical women and children are Osler, Kelly, Thomas, and John himself. It's just one elite who is willing to concentrate on pediatrics......

……

Two and a half days later, at noon on Sunday.

John and Henry each took a carriage to the gate of Penn Medical School, picked up Osler and Kelly, who had been ready for a long time, and arrived at the Philadelphia train station together. As one of the most important cities in the eastern United States, there are of course direct trains between Philadelphia and New York. Less than 200 kilometers away, in just a few hours, it drove into New York's Grand Central Station.

The date of this day is June 1, 1888.

In the 19th century, before Children's Day, John and his party arrived at the hotel that had been booked for the two of Osler, a few minutes away from the hospital at most, on foot.

"Thank you, Mr. Huntelaar."

As soon as he walked into the luxurious suite, Kelly was startled at first, then turned his head and thanked him a little crampedly: "Actually...... You don't need such a luxurious room, it's just too luxurious. ”

As soon as he walked into the hotel, Kelly noticed that the hotel should be very upscale, and there were several rare electric lights in the lobby, but after entering the suite that John had booked, he realized that his surprise was too early.

"yes, it's extravagant."

Osler was much more knowledgeable than Kelly in this regard, but he was also a little uneasy about such a luxurious room.

Although it was only natural that John had invited them to come to New York and take care of all the expenses, the obviously reserved room for the rich was a bit beyond his acceptance. In his opinion, it is not impossible to stay in this kind of hotel, but the most ordinary room is enough......

"Haha."

Laughing loudly, John waved his hand and said, "Both of them are my most important guests, how can such conditions be considered luxury?" Anyway, it's only a week, so let's stay with confidence. ”

At John's insistence, Osler and the two had no choice but to put down the salute.

Although they were a little uneasy in their hearts, one thing that the two of them could now be sure of was that this Mr. Huntelaar was indeed worth a lot of money, otherwise no matter how much they valued them, they wouldn't have to arrange such a luxurious room, right? I'm afraid the cost of this week will be at least a few hundred dollars, right?

"By the way, are you two tired now?"

After Osler and Kelly had put the salute away, John suddenly asked.

Osler was visibly stunned, shook his head a little dazedly, and said, "Tired is not tired, but it's late now, is there anything else that Mr. Huntelaar can't arrange?" ”

Blinking, Kelly was also puzzled.

"If you're not tired, I do have a piece of advice."

John took out his pocket watch and looked at it, smiled slightly and nodded: "It's a pity that I can't see it in the room reserved for the two of you, but fortunately, this hotel is not far from the hospital, if you two are interested, I suggest you can go out with me to see the unique night view in New York City!" ”

"Night view? One and only? ”

After hearing this, Osler and Kelly immediately looked at each other.

"Yes, at least for now, it's unique!"

Nodding, John said happily: "And this unique night scene is the destination of the two people who came to New York this time, Heinz General Hospital, which has just opened for half a year......" (To be continued......
