Chapter 34: Students and Experiments

For John? For Huntelaar, the last three months of 1891 passed quickly.

Medical school had just opened, and there were too many decisions to be made by him, the principal, and on the side of the car factory and the radio company, John had a lot more to do because of the deliberate actions of old Huntelaar. So when the footsteps of the time were about to cross the border of 1891 and enter 1892, John was relieved from that busy state.

"I believe that you don't have to wait until the end of work, and the results of the final exam can come out."

In Mr. Huntelaar's office, Osler said with a smile on his face. Before coming here, he carefully reviewed a randomly selected test paper, and the score on the paper was at least 80 points, which undoubtedly made him very satisfied. You know, in order to prepare for the first final exam in the history of Heinz Medical College, it took a long time to prepare up and down, and no one knew the gold content of the questions better than Osler himself.

"Looks like they shouldn't be bad!"

Seeing Professor Osler's happy face, John's face brightened.

In the past six months, the medical school has invested a lot in less than 10 students, not only in terms of equipment and funds, but also in personnel! For the sake of these eight or nine students, there are thirty or forty people up and down Heinz Medical College.

And the feedback given by the students is also very satisfying.

None of the people who could be chosen by Osler were fools, and these guys soon discovered that the little money they paid each year was probably not enough for the cost of experiments! So after figuring this out, almost all of the students put in their 100% energy, and the professors were extremely satisfied with their performance. It turns out that Americans are no worse than Europeans, and they can do what they can do better. John? Mr. Huntelaar sounds familiar.

However, after being happy, Osler said with a faint worry on his face: "They are indeed very good and work hard, so I hope that by the end of next semester, these children will all be able to stay." ”

"That's what I'm expecting too, Professor."

Shrugged. John smiled slightly: "But the specific result depends on their personal efforts and choices." ”

Heinz Medical School invests so much in individual students that it is certainly impossible to tolerate their mediocrity, so a strict elimination mechanism has been put in place. Students who fail to adapt to the school's basic requirements will be eliminated if their academic performance does not meet the basic requirements of the school, and after they start to be exposed to anatomy in the next semester, students who cannot adapt will also be eliminated, and they will receive a refund of their tuition fees and leave this medical school that is destined to work miracles forever!

Even if there was only one person left in the end, John would not lower the bar.

Osler certainly thinks the same way. However, after a little hesitation, he said with a smile: "There will be a holiday starting tomorrow, is the one-month vacation a little longer?" ”

"Hehe, it's not long, is it?"

John smiled, shook his head, and said, "Now our students are mainly from around New York, but what about the future?" If there are students from the west, how many days does it take to just go back and forth? A month is not long! One month in winter and two months in summer. There are exactly nine months of instruction each year, which is a good fit. ”

I thought about it for a moment. Professor Osler nodded and said, "That's it, but two students have expressed their reluctance to go home and want to stay in school or go to the hospital to learn something, what do you think?" ”

"Oh? That's a good thing! ”

Hearing that some students were so motivated, John suddenly became interested: "Which two people are they?" ”

"Harvey? Cushing and Joel? Hubble. ”

Speaking of the two students, Professor Osler's eyes were full of smiles. Hard-working students are liked by any teacher. If this student is talented, it will be a treasure in the hands of teachers. Harvey? Cushing is undoubtedly such a baby, talented and willing to work hard, and several mentors have a very good impression of him.

But when he heard Cushing's name, John's face instantly darkened.

In John's long memory. Harvey Cushing impressed him the most, apart from Cushing's syndrome, because of the large number of patient photos and brain specimens. After entering Heinz General Hospital, Cushing also fully demonstrated his exuberant energy: he applied several times to learn anatomy in advance, and was very fanatical about cutting the human body with a knife.

Of course, this is an excellent quality for a surgeon.

So without thinking too much about it, John also knew that Cushing was trying to "preview" human anatomy in advance, and couldn't wait for the next semester to start again.

"Then promise them!"

With his eyes narrowing slightly, John suddenly spoke: "But reject their application to learn anatomy in advance, and let them go to the laboratory to help!" ”

"Lab?"

After listening to John's answer, Osler was slightly stunned.

Heinz Medical College's laboratories are undoubtedly among the best in the world, and more importantly, they are well funded. John knew very well that with the deepening of the Second Industrial Revolution, the era of craftsmen driving the development of productive forces would be completely over, and the era of scientists was accelerating! The same is true in the field of medicine, where fewer and fewer physicians will succeed with experience, and more and more physicians and physicians will reach the top through laboratory and scientific research.

The top-notch laboratory is undoubtedly the catalyst!

So nodding at Professor Osler, John smiled and said, "Are these two boys energetic?" It just so happens that recently I plan to have a separate meeting with each laboratory and assign some research tasks! I believe that they will be very busy for a period of time in the future, and these two boys can just go and help......"

……

"Ding!"

The voice was very soft, but John looked up sensitively, just in time to see Anna carefully placing a glass of water not far from his desk.

"It's so late, why haven't you rested?"

John's brow furrowed slightly, and he complained softly.

"I've tried, but I can't sleep."

Seeing that John stopped the pen in his hand, Anna walked behind him and gently pressed her husband's shoulder and smiled: "You have been sleeping late at night lately, and you have a lot of work to do?" ”

"Hehe, I just want to take care of everything before I go to Europe."

Patting Anna's little hand gently, John said with a smile. They had already decided to depart on a cruise ship to Europe after John's twenty-third birthday, April 17, 1892.

This time, it will take at least half a year.

There are so many things waiting for John to deal with in Europe, and so many industries also need him to appease them, and it will definitely not work in a short time. So before leaving, John had to take care of a lot of things, such as the professors at the basic medical school, and it was only fitting that he had some topics for them to take the students to work on.

But now that Anna is here, of course, John won't continue to write, just stands up and laughs: "Okay, if you're not sleepy, there's something I want to talk to you about......" (To be continued.) )
