"Gotcha! Get! ”

The crisp knock on the door, so clearly audible in the middle of the night, immediately woke Osler from his deep thoughts.

"Who's out there?"

Walking to the door of his room, Osler asked in a cautious whisper. Away from home, even in a safe, upscale hotel, Osler remains cautious: As a Canadian who has traveled all over Europe and eventually made it to the United States, he knows very well how unsafe the world can be.

"It's me, sir."

The noise outside the door was also low, but it was enough for Osler to know who was visiting.

Immediately opened the door to the room, and a smile appeared on Osler's face: "Howard, can't you sleep?" ”

"Yes, sir."

Secretly smiling bitterly, Kelly shook his head and sighed, "After visiting Mr. Huntelaar's hospital, how can you sleep?" When I was in bed, I was thinking about the building for obstetrics and gynecology...... Sir, will you be able to sleep after such a day? ”

"Uh...... Come on in. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Osler turned around and walked back with some embarrassment.

After entering and closing the door, Kelly very consciously went to prepare the coffee for the two of them. I have to say that the facilities of the high-end hotel are indeed relatively complete, and this suite is also equipped with a kerosene stove for boiling water, so that the two of them will not have to call a waiter in the middle of the night.

After boiling the water, Kelly sat down across from Osler.

The two of them sat silently like this, and after a long while, Kelly sighed lightly and said, "Professor, before I came to New York, I always thought that what Mr. Huntelaar said was a bit exaggerated, but after visiting this Heinz General Hospital today, I realized that my vision was actually too narrow...... Such a hospital is simply beyond my imagination! ”

What should an ideal hospital look like? Doctors in different eras and countries have different standards in their minds. For physicians at the end of the 19th century. Naturally, the standard is far from being as high as it would have been, at least in Kelly's opinion, it is enough to have spacious outpatient rooms and wards, complete hardware facilities, and excellent doctors and nurses.

But there is no doubt that Heinz General Hospital far exceeded his ideal standard!

A majestic building larger than the most luxurious hotel in New York. directly raised this standard to a level they never thought of, and the simple but sophisticated decoration of the interior, and the practical and exquisite service design everywhere, all made them deeply doubt whether the hospital they were visiting today was not!

The hardware conditions do not need to be discussed at all, and they are definitely the top of this era.

In addition, Kelly was most amazed by the doctors at Heinz General Hospital. All of them were Americans, and even a few Germans, all of whom had graduated from prestigious university medical schools such as the University of Berlin, Heidelberg or Vienna, a luxury he had never heard of in the United States. To know. Although those physicians are relatively young, but all of them have undergone the most rigorous training in Europe, and with top doctors like Mr. Huntelaar who have proven themselves under the leadership, who can guarantee that they will not produce a few masters in the future?

There are also those comfortable hospital rooms, state-of-the-art operating rooms, electric lights, elevators, and other new things that Kelly rarely stands out......

It can be said that everything about Heinz General Hospital opened Kelly's eyes, and at the same time, an irrepressible desire arose in his heart: the desire to work here!

No doctor can refuse to work here, right?

Professor Osler smiled bitterly at Kelly's exclamation. He also shook his head and said, "Hehe, why shouldn't I?" ”

Compared to the young and inexperienced Mr. Kelly. Professor Osler thinks that the standard of the ideal hospital is much higher, and in addition to the hardware facilities, he attaches more importance to the management of the hospital and the attitude towards patients.

But in this respect, Heinz General Hospital is also very good!

During the whole visit, Professor Osler paid the most attention to three things: one was that the whole building was very tidy, even if he kept an eye on it from beginning to end. But not a single hygienic dead end was found. Moreover, according to Mr. Huntelaar's introduction, each floor of the building has regular workers to clean regularly, including toilets and elevator rooms, etc., and a complete system has been formed; The second is that the doctors and nurses are all dressed uniformly, and everyone is dressed very well. At a glance, it is natural to know their identities, and the patients in the ward also have special hospital gowns, so that doctors and nurses can clearly distinguish them from family members or non-hospitalized patients.

It is these two systems that make the whole hospital look neat and organized.

As for the third point, Osler is concerned with the human facilities that exist in almost every part of the building: patients are greeted by an amiable medical guide from the moment they enter the door, guiding them through the medical treatment process; In almost any part of the hospital, you can see eye-catching text signs, staircases and elevators have partial distribution maps of each floor, outpatient rooms and wards also have house numbers, as long as you are literate, you can easily find the place to go; In addition to the rattle bell in the ward, there is also a nurse station outside where patients can ask for help at any time......

Every detail made Osler frightened.

After graduating from medical school in Canada, he has been to European countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany and Austria, as well as several big cities in the United States, and has visited and studied in many hospitals, but searching his own memories, Osler has not found anything comparable to here!

Osler had the impression that hospitals were stuffy, dirty, and crowded, both in the United States and Europe.

But the Heinz General Hospital he saw today completely subverted the definition of hospital in Osler's mind, and also made him understand why a hospital that has only been open for less than half a year can stabilize the number of outpatient patients per day at more than 200 people......

After a brief exchange of words, both of them fell silent.

No matter how exalted the two men held in the history of American medicine, in 1888, it was impossible for them to pick out the shackles of the times. So after visiting the hospital built by John's heart, I couldn't help but feel a huge shock in my heart.

This kind of impact is simply impossible to describe in words.

"Drip ......"

After a while, Kelly's boiling water boiled, and the kettle made a high-pitched chirp.

Awakened from his musings, Kelly quickly trotted over to get the kettle and began to brew coffee for himself and Professor Osler. However, compared to the usual Mari, Kelly's movements are very slow at this time, and he seems to be thinking about something while brewing coffee......

After Kelly returned to the small hall with two cups of coffee, he put a cup in front of Professor Osler and said in a firm tone, "Professor Osler, I've already thought about it!" ”

"Oh?"

With a heartbeat, Osler looked up at Kelly in surprise.

"I have decided to accept Mr. Huntelaar's invitation!"

Taking a deep breath, Kelly nodded heavily and said, "Regardless of whether there is a building dedicated to obstetrics and gynecology, I will choose to stay here, because what I saw and heard today made me understand one thing, that is, what a real hospital should look like............
