"Thomas, we need a lot of resources!"

After the meeting ended, John pulled the director of the hospital and whispered: "You also heard what I said just now, in addition to a large number of experimental animals, we also need human beings!" At least five cadavers are required for autopsy every week, and there will be even more when medical schools start admitting students in the future, so you need to be prepared! ”

"Uh......"

After listening to John's words, Thomas's face instantly darkened.

The teaching of medical schools is inseparable from the abundance of teaching resources, in which the corpse is naturally the most important, both now and in the future. And because of the lack of other means of teaching, in fact the 19th century medical teaching and even medical research were in greater demand for corpses, and hundreds of corpses were dissected by any famous physician. Osler, for example, must have had more than a thousand corpses dissected, and Bilrot in Europe was no less......

But compared to later generations, the corpses of this era are not easy to find.

During the Civil War, a professor at a medical school was burned down by the military for snatching corpses, and there was a factor that physicians did not respect enough, but on the other hand, Americans in this era were not as open to corpses as later generations - even in the 21st century, Americans did not seem to have much interest in donating corpses for medical research or to help others.

"It's a bit tricky!"

After thinking about it for a while, Thomas shook his head very dryly and smiled bitterly.

"Well, I know that."

John, of course, understood Thomas's distress very well, smiled and said, "So from this month onwards, I will take out an additional $1,000 a month to solve this problem, is it enough?" ”

"A thousand dollars?!"

After hearing this number. Thomas couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit.

John has never been stingy with the many expenses of medical research, so whether doctors need laboratory animals or various equipment and consumables, Thomas can always be very bold in approving a sum of money. But if you add $1,000 a month, that's 12,000 dollars a year! Even if Thomas knew that John was rich and generous. But if more than 10,000 dollars are thrown out without blinking......

"John, what the hell do you want to do?"

After a moment of silence, Thomas couldn't help but ask, "What did you just say...... A lot of things I haven't even heard of, say, is that shock really important to us surgeons? ”

"This ......"

Looking at Thomas, whose face was full of curiosity, John didn't know how to explain it for a while.

It is impossible to simply fill the gap between the times, and for the shock that future doctors and medical students, even ordinary people understand, this era has not yet produced this concept. John also didn't know how to explain shock to Thomas. Because he has only "defined" one syndrome now, and everything else has yet to be confirmed by research!

But......

After pondering for a moment, John smiled and said, "Thomas, I don't know if these things are important to the surgeons, but just like the things I studied before, we can only know the final answer if we study them deeply, right?" ”

"But ......"

frowned. Thomas was still a little puzzled. In his opinion, John's thoughts in the field of surgery in the past two years have really gone a little crazy. Obviously, the local anesthesia and disinfection technology has been perfected. Blood transfusions seem to be on the horizon soon, so why not continue down the path of appendectomy? In the past two years, surgeons from all over Europe and the United States have begun to march into other organs in the abdomen, such as Bierrot and others in Vienna, who have made a lot of achievements in the field of gastric cancer surgery, but John does not seem to be in a hurry at all, and always buries his head in those strange places - basic surgical operation techniques are fine. After all, it's still in the field of surgery, but what vitamins and genes can really be used for?

"Don't worry, I know it."

Patting Thomas on the shoulder, John's expression was calm.

For the surgeons of this era. Pioneering a new surgery, or a surgical approach to a disease, is the greatest achievement, and the best way for them to quickly become famous and successful. But in the eyes of John, a future surgeon, it is not so important to open the patient's abdominal cavity, or even their chest cavity and head, but to complete the entire foundation of surgery!

Surgical disinfection, anesthesia, blood transfusion and other technologies, all the same!

In every future surgical textbook, before the most basic chapter on surgical infection, it is necessary to talk about aseptics, fluid and acid-base imbalance, blood transfusion, surgical shock, anesthesia, metabolism and nutrition, intensive care and resuscitation, etc., because just as if you want to become a physician, you must understand the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the human body, and a qualified surgeon must also understand these contents.

All John had to do was organize a group of people to study them and explain them!

These young surgeons at Heinz General Hospital are undoubtedly the best helpers. They may lack a more "modern" way of thinking about surgery, but John believes that after a rigorous laboratory education in Europe and more scientific training under his own hands, there will always be someone who will stand out......

"Okay."

Seeing that John had made up his mind, Thomas was silent for a moment and stopped dwelling on this issue, and instead asked, "One more thing, Professor Osler hopes to go to Europe in person next month and invite some friends to come to New York and join our medical school." ”

"Oh? That's a good thing!"

John's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly.

Having traveled extensively in Europe, Osler knew many of his peers, so it was not difficult to understand that he wanted to invite them to teach in New York. And in this respect, it coincides with John's thoughts. Compared with the outstanding talents in the United States, John has no intention of paying more attention to Europe, Britain, France, Germany, and Austria, and the strength of medical education is far above that of North America, especially the Germans, both in terms of strength and emotion, are John's top priority......

"Well, I've agreed."

Thomas smiled, and then said, "I believe that with the conditions you gave, Professor Osler should be able to recruit a few professors back to our medical school." ”

"Haha......"

Hearing Thomas say this, John burst out laughing.

It was not easy to get those professors to come to New York from Europe, but the United States at this time, like China more than a hundred years later, was relatively backward, but full of vitality and attractive to some people.

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

After laughing, John patted Thomas on the shoulder again, squinted slightly, and chuckled, "What will Heinz General Hospital and Medical School look like in two years......" (To be continued.) )
