"I sincerely hope that there will be more communication with the nursing staff at Heinz General Hospital......"

When he saw what was going on, it finally dawned on John. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The publication of cholera-related papers in Europe can be said to have completely established the theory of cholera contagion, and also completely proved that Nightingale's theory was wrong. But while the pioneer of nursing acknowledges his mistake in the letter, and thanks John and others for their research, he seems more interested in strengthening communication with the nursing staff at Heinz General Hospital!

The front is just over one page, but the back is four pages!

"Hehe, it's really interesting!"

After reading Nightingale's letter, John couldn't help but laugh.

When he saw the back, John certainly understood what the other party meant, in fact, admitting his mistakes in cholera and other fields was not important, as early as three years ago, the incident in Hamburg was enough to make most people give up other theories. In fact, John later published a paper that tactfully proposed that in this era when bacteriology had developed, any physician who did not understand laboratory research was not qualified to talk about infectious diseases, which was supported by many big bulls in Britain, France, and Germany.

The paper not long ago was just the final conclusion.

But what John didn't expect was that Nightingale would fall in love with the nursing department of his hospital. However, it is no wonder, because in the past few years, in addition to medical surgery and obstetrics and gynecology, Heinz General Hospital has published at least 30 papers related to nursing, especially in the field of surgical nursing, which has made the nursing department, the department that John advocated the establishment of, become a mainstream force in the nursing field!

Of course, most of the people who write the paper are the doctors in the hospital.

After a hundred years, nurses have undergone higher education, and a small number of people can write papers independently...... At least most nurses have little formal education, or it is unlikely that they will be systematically educated, and most of what they learn is to cooperate with physicians in caring for patients. So it's a bit embarrassing to ask them to write nursing papers from a medical point of view. However, because of John's presence, the doctors at Heinz General Hospital attach far more importance to nursing than other hospitals, so it is not surprising that some papers have been published.

To put it bluntly, Nightingale is definitely much more famous in terms of fame, but in terms of the level of care......

Putting on the brakes in time to suppress his opinion of the medical sage, John pondered for a moment and then simply picked up his pen and wrote back: "Dear Miss Nightingale, it is a great honor to receive your letter......

……

"I heard that Miss Nightingale has written to you?"

As soon as he walked into John's office, Thomas asked with a gossipy face, "Tsk, what did the English goddess of the lantern say when she wrote to you?" ”

"Uh...... You're bored, aren't you? ”

Rolling his eyes, John asked angrily.

Knowing that the secretary Lily was a fan of Nightingale, it was not very strange for John to know the news to Thomas, but he also knew that as a loyal servant of the German Empire, even if he had now become an American citizen, it was unlikely that he would return in the future, and Thomas would still not be able to fan a British lady. However, under the pursuit of the strong culture of the empire on which the sun never sets, the name of the goddess of the lantern has indeed spread all over the world, and it is impossible for Thomas not to have heard of it, so it is not surprising to gossip.

"Of course...... No. ”

With a smile, Thomas handed over a large paper bag in his hand to John: "The renovation plans of the two branches have been completed, and this is the budget report...... Don't say you don't look at it, tens of thousands of dollars have been invested, if you don't look at it, I won't be sure. ”

“…… All right. ”

Shaking his head helplessly, John simply took it.

Now that he has stepped down as dean, John has great trust in Thomas, and he doesn't want to care about these things, but since everyone has said so, he can't say it without looking at it.

But......

Looking at the materials in his hand, John's expression gradually became bitter.

The idea of making more money or something has not yet begun, but this report has already been submitted, and it is a huge amount of money - although the scale of the two branches is not large, the renovation and other expenses add up to 30,000 US dollars! In New York in 1895, $30,000 was equivalent to the annual income of dozens of middle-class families, which was not a small amount!

"Can two small hospitals afford so much money?"

After a moment's hesitation, John asked with a wry smile.

"If you don't want to lower the bar, I'm afraid these are necessary."

With the same wry smile, Thomas said helplessly: "According to our plan, the two branches must have at least four internal medicine doctors, one surgeon and one obstetrician and gynecologist, ten nurses, and at the same time have the ability to perform outpatient operations, which means that there must be input such as sterilization rooms." Coupled with renovations, renovations, and hiring security and logistics personnel, $30,000 is just enough to open the business. ”

"This ...... All right. ”

John himself understood the Tao, and in the end he could only nod helplessly.

If you build a hospital according to the standards of this era, of course, you don't need so much money, in fact, as long as you have a house, you can hire a certain number of doctors and nurses, and purchase some necessary surgical instruments and medicines, and you won't spend too much money at all. For example, medicines, in this era, there is not much demand for finished drugs, because there is nothing decent at all, and doctors need more raw materials, and when they need it, they will configure it on site. That's why, in earlier times, chemists existed as vassals of physicians, and in the 19th century, physicians also had to prepare many popular drugs themselves.

But as a branch of Heinz General Hospital, no one wants to make a living.

Although from the very beginning, John's positioning of these two branches is a community hospital - to triage the source pressure of the main hospital and reduce the cost of patients. However, this does not mean that John will reduce the requirements of the hospital, such as hygienic conditions, medical standards, etc., so the necessary investment must be guaranteed.

After thinking for a while, John took a pen and wrote a few lines on the paper, and then handed it to Thomas: "I'm afraid I'm a little nervous about 30,000 dollars, give 35,000 dollars, and I will send someone to inject the money into the hospital's account when I go back, and make sure to ensure that the two hospitals are officially put into operation by the end of September...... Doctors and nurses are ready, right? ”

"The doctor is fine, but there are only three nurses."

While taking the list, he raised his eyebrows, and Thomas said helplessly: "The doctors are okay, after all, the rotation system is implemented, and there are resident doctors behind, but nurses need to work there all year round, almost no one wants to go, and the training of newly recruited nurses will take a long time......"

"Hmm......"

Hearing Thomas say this, John's brow furrowed again.

In fact, it is not only the problem of the hospital, with the development of Heinz General Hospital, John has realized the limitations of the current nursing system, especially the nurses who have not been trained in systematic medicine, and many times it is indeed a little insufficient.

Looking at the sealed reply to Nightingale in his hand, John raised his eyebrows, and suddenly smiled: "Thomas, you said that since we have a medical school, how about running a nursing school by the way?" (To be continued.) )
