Chapter 39: Assault

"Bang! Bang! ”

A continuous, rapid knock on the door woke John from his sleep.

Quickly opening his eyes, John first subconsciously looked at the time, but it was only about five o'clock in the morning, and he immediately frowned, lowered his head and whispered to Anna, who was also awakened: "You don't care, I'll get up and see what's going on." ”

Getting up and getting dressed, and after opening the door, John asked in a low voice, "Mr. Elber, is there anything wrong?" It's just five o'clock! ”

“…… Your phone, sir! ”

Ignoring the displeasure in John's words, the butler Hans whispered, "It's from the hospital, over there...... It seems that something is wrong, and the caller is in a hurry! ”

"Something's wrong? What's the matter? ”

John asked, stunned, with a glare.

"This ...... I don't quite know. ”

Shaking his head, Hans smiled bitterly: "But the other party's voice is very urgent, and he said that the matter is very important, let me wake you up immediately!" ”

If it weren't for the other party's repeated emphasis, Mr. Butler certainly wouldn't have woken up John at this time. Although this little master usually has no habit of sleeping lazy, the probability of getting up at five o'clock is also low, and the mood at this time can be imagined.

Fortunately, when he heard that there was an emergency in the hospital, John couldn't care about his dissatisfaction, and immediately went downstairs to pick up the phone and asked urgently, "I'm John?" Huntelaar, who are you? What happened in the hospital? ”

Almost as soon as John's words fell, Thomas's voice came: "I'm Thomas, John, you come as soon as possible, the hospital has just been attacked!" ”

"Attack? How is this possible?! ”

When John heard the words, he was taken aback!

But before John could figure it out, Thomas continued, "Yes." Our hospital has just been attacked by some people! I've just arrived at the hospital, so I haven't figured out exactly what happened, but ...... John, you'd better come as soon as possible! ”

"Okay, I'll go over right away!"

John quickly came to his senses and knew that he must not be able to say something on the phone. After hanging up the phone, he immediately said to the butler, "Mr. Elber, let Henry start the car immediately......"

……

"Damn...... Can anyone tell me, what the hell is going on? ”

Standing in the hall of his hospital, John asked with a grim anger on his face. As far as his eye could see, the hospital hall was in shambles, and the ground was littered to show people what had just happened here. Fortunately, the time is still early, the hospital has not yet opened, and the staff of several hospitals in the outpatient hall are nervously cleaning up, and by the time the clinic opens, it should be almost back to its original state.

John never thought of it. My own hospital would encounter such a thing.

He knew that New York in the 19th century was chaotic, with many immigrants and gangsters, but because he had been under the wing of old Huntelaar since he came to the city, John had almost no contact with the lower class society, so naturally he did not experience this. I didn't expect that after several years of peace, such a thing would happen to his hospital!

"To put it simply, it's gangster revenge!"

Quietly take a step forward. Thomas replied with a solemn face, "I just figured out that the cause is the four gang members who were injured in the fire and wounded by the fire we took in yesterday. It seems that their enemies got the news and came to attack ...... at night."

"How's it going?"

Taking a deep breath, John asked in a low voice.

With a wry smile, Thomas said with a happy voice: "Fortunately, those people didn't use their guns, and the four people who were hospitalized also had a lot of people to protect them." So...... At least no one died in our hospital because of it. ”

Hearing this, John couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he immediately followed up and asked, "What about our people?" Has anyone been hurt? ”

"Only one young nurse on the night shift was injured."

After a moment's hesitation, Thomas replied in a low voice, "The gang that came to take revenge seems to have taken care of the severity and did not attack the other patients and medical staff. Even the little nurse was accidentally injured in a panic...... John, I've informed the New York police, but as you know, the police don't do much in this kind of thing. ”

After listening to Thomas's words, John fell silent. Before he heard the news and came from home, old Huntelaar seemed to say the same thing.

New York is now in a dark age.

Although the city is constantly expanding, immigrants are also constantly pouring into it, and it is constantly growing and developing. But at the same time, it has grown with deep-seated corruption and darkness, as has the police department. And the counterpart to corruption is naturally the underground of the ability to work, so neither the old New York resident Huntelaar nor the new Thomas who has been here for less than two years have much hope for them.

If nothing else, just look at the current hospitals.

Thomas informed John and the police almost at the same time after the incident, but by the time John rushed from home to the hospital, there had not been a single police officer!

"And what do you think should be done about this?"

John was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked.

Thomas had already prepared the answer to the boss's seemingly sudden question: "For the time being, we need to do three things: one is to cooperate with the police investigation and disconnect our hospital from the gang; The second is to strengthen the protection of the hospital and recruit some new security guards to stabilize the morale of the military, and at the same time make the patients feel more at ease; The last word is to get these gangsters out of the hospital as soon as possible......"

"Huh? Why? ”

Listening to the previous words, John nodded frequently in agreement, but when Thomas said the last one, he was stunned for a moment, and asked with a puzzled face: "Aren't the injuries of the few of them serious?" ”

"This ......"

Thomaston smiled wryly, shook his head, and said, "John, let's not talk about the danger that these people pose to the hospital, but this matter will definitely make the newspapers, which will make potential patients worry - we take in gangsters, which is inherently unsafe for many gentlemen!" John, maybe we should be more cautious in the future, and it's best to get these four people out of the hospital as soon as possible......"

"Hmm......"

After listening to Thomas's explanation, John fell silent again.

Treating all patients who need to be diagnosed and treated, regardless of whether they are good or bad, is the most basic professional ethics of a future physician. Of course, the gang members also have the right to receive treatment, but after listening to Thomas's words at this time, John has basically understood the opinions of his subordinates.

But after a moment of silence, John slowly shook his head and said, "No, we can't do that!" ”

"Huh? Why? ”

Thomaston was a little anxious and hurriedly asked.

"Because this is a hospital, we are doctors!"

After taking a deep breath, John said in a deep voice, "It's our duty to save people, no matter who they are!" However, this incident also reminds us that Thomas, you should recruit more security guards as soon as possible, and the number of security guards on the night shift will be doubled in the future! In addition, in the future, the hospital will add a provision that in addition to treating patients who are admitted abnormally such as knife wounds, gunshot wounds, or poisoning, they must also notify the police to come and deal with them as soon as possible......
