"Baltimore, or New York?"

After leaving Professor Osler's office, Kelly's mind kept flashing the names of the two cities, so much so that he was a little absent-minded when he walked, and almost hit people or trees several times.

There is no doubt that both places have a strong attraction for him.

Philadelphia is a place where Kelly is definitely leaving, even though Penn Medical School is his alma mater and one of the most famous universities in the United States, but it is an old-style medical school after all, and it is impossible to satisfy Kelly who has ideas. He knew that he would never be able to realize his ideas if he stayed in this school, let alone teach them to his students.

So when Welch came to Kelly, he was immediately moved.

Needless to say, Hopkins University, as one of the best universities in the United States, Hopkins's philosophy of running a school is very much to Kelly's appetite, and the conversation with Professor Welch is so comfortable, but after talking to Mr. Huntelaar today, Kelly found himself hesitating again.

Same new school, same new concept!

And Kelly faintly found that although this Mr. Huntelaar did not tell the truth, his ideas were surprisingly similar to Mr. Welch, but this young man's ideas seemed to be more complete and more radical!

"How is this possible?"

In retrospect, Kelly thought it was so incredible!

Mr. Welch is no ordinary pathologist, he was a student of the German medical masters Ludwig and Kornheim, who had studied in Germany for many years and had a wealth of teaching experience, but what about this Mr. Huntelaar? Although he has made achievements in the fields of surgery and blood that ordinary doctors must look up to, he has only just returned from Germany. He even just had his twenty-fourth birthday......

Could such a young guy really be better than Professor Welch?

"Oh, shit!"

The body, which was already extremely tired, suddenly became extremely excited under the stimulation of today's meeting, which made Kelly's head hurt faintly.

It's a bad feeling.

Find yourself with a headache at the same time. When his walk began to stagger, Kelly decisively stopped thinking further, but quickly made up his mind: "Since I can't figure it out, I might as well go to New York at Mr. Huntelaar's invitation." In this case, the best thing to do is to see the hospital for yourself......"

……

"I have to say, you have a good eye."

Osler personally poured a cup of coffee for John and exclaimed softly, "Howard is undoubtedly one of the best physicians and teachers at Penn Medicine. In addition to his extensive knowledge and skills, the most important thing is to be full of compassion for patients. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to go to Kensington to run a hospital at all. ”

"Yes, sir, I understand that very well."

After taking a sip of coffee, John smiled and said, "This is one of the important reasons why I want to invite Mr. Kelly to New York, I believe that under your leadership, he will be one of the best obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States in the future!" ”

"Oh?"

After hearing John's words, Osler raised his eyebrows, looked at him with a smile and said softly, "Are you so sure that he will accept the invitation?" Or rather...... You're so sure. Will I accept your invitation? ”

"Haha, of course!"

A subconscious wave of his hand. John laughed confidently.

Osler would never be willing to stay at Penn Medicine, John was sure. As the oldest medical school in North America, Penn Medical School was founded years before the founding of the United States, so the pride of this school is understandable. This has always been the case at Penn School of Medicine, and most of the professors at the school are from the Penn system. Osler's ability to serve as Head of Clinical Department here speaks volumes about his abilities, but it also portends the pressure he will endure.

At the very least, it would have been nearly impossible to fully realize his clinical philosophy at Penn Medicine.

So next year, Osler will accept Welch's invitation to go to Baltimore as chief of internal medicine at Hopkins Hospital. In the future, he will be the chair of the Department of General Medicine at the Hopkins University School of Medicine......

So Osler's choice, like Kelly's, is nothing more than Baltimore and New York.

As for the competition with Hopkins, John has full confidence, because no matter what aspect he considers, it seems that his side has an absolute advantage!

In terms of cities, New York is now the de facto largest city in the United States, with a large population, a developed economy, and a sufficient source of corresponding diseases, which is a very important basic condition for a hospital and medical school. In the future, the best hospitals in China are in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Wuhan and other big cities, on the one hand, because of the population, there are sufficient sources of disease as support, and on the other hand, because these big cities are the most economically developed places in the country or region, can attract enough outstanding talents to join.

In terms of the hardware conditions of hospitals and medical schools, John has never seen the Hopkins Hospital completed in 1889, nor the medical school completed in 1893, but he believes that it is difficult to have a better hospital than Heinz General Hospital in this era, and the same will be true for medical schools! What's more, the Hopkins Hospital has not yet been built, and the medical school is still in the preparatory stage, but in Manhattan, New York, Heinz General Hospital has reached more than 200 daily outpatient visits. Medical school, while also in the preparatory stage, plans to start enrollment at least two years before Hopkins.

In terms of school philosophy, because of John? Huntelaar, the philosophy of the medical school in New York is undoubtedly more mature and advanced than Welch. With Osler, who was more familiar with the medical education of this era, he could improve the overly radical aspects of John's plan, and the two would be the perfect fit, and John believed that Osler's experience and vision would never fail to see this!

With the comparison of these conditions, John is eighty percent sure of recruiting Osler and Kelly!

Of course, compared with the already very high prestige of Hopkins University, John's planned medical school is undoubtedly incomparable, and compared with Welch, although he himself has a little better achievements in the field of medicine, he is too young after all, and there may be some differences in personal charm, but ......

After taking a deep breath, John threw out his final killer weapon in a low voice: "Professor Osler, we can investigate the situation of the hospital in detail after going to New York, but about the medical school that is still in preparation, I can assure you of two points!" ”

"Those two points?"

Looking at John's solemn appearance, Professor Osler's expression became serious.

"First, we will promote the principle of college autonomy!"

Raising his first finger, John said, "Except for some basic principles established throughout the university, the management and teaching of each college will be decided by the dean and the faculty committee, and no one else has the right to interfere with this!" ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Professor Osler's eyes lit up.

As one of the most famous medical educators in history, the power to control must have been desperately needed by Osler, and John's assurance, if realized, would undoubtedly have greatly increased his appeal. At least from William? Welch, Osler has not yet received such assurances.

"So, what about the second point?"

After listening to the first point, Osler became more and more interested in John's second assurance.

"The second point is that we will ensure the funding of the medical school!"

Stretching out his second finger, John's smile became brighter and brighter: "We will build the most advanced and complete medical laboratory in the world, covering all fields at present, to ensure the needs of teaching; We will provide the best salary package for professors and lecturers in the United States, and ensure that it is attractive enough to attract the best talent from all over the world; In addition, if necessary, we can even provide outstanding students with scholarships that are sufficient to sustain them until graduation, ensuring that the school is recruited for young elite ......"

"Sizzle......"

When he heard this, Professor Osler couldn't help but gasp, and interjected in surprise: "This, how is this possible?" Even Hopkins could not have guaranteed such an investment! ”

In the United States in this era, Hopkins University is undoubtedly one of the richest universities.

In 1873, the banker John of Baltimore, Maryland? Hopkins died, leaving behind a huge sum of more than seven million dollars at the time of his death. In the 70s of the 19th century, 7 million dollars was undoubtedly an astronomical amount, and it was with this huge amount of money that Hopkins University was able to develop rapidly, and in just a dozen years, it became one of the most remarkable universities in the United States.

But even at Hopkins, Gilman and Welch could not have offered the same terms as Mr. Huntelaar, because the investment would be too high, and even they could not afford it!

So subconsciously, Osler began to doubt John's words.

"Why can't it be?"

In response to Osler's questioning, John just smiled faintly and said, "Professor Osler, when you go to New York with Mr. Kelly, visit Heinz General Hospital, and listen to my plans for medical school, you will know that nothing is impossible with me......" (To be continued......
