At the end of August in New York, the temperature is very comfortable.

After a month of work, on the last day of August, John feasted his guests at his home, sending invitations to all the people he had recruited from Europe, inviting them to come together.

Of course, John didn't invite the workers of those factories.

Thomas and his twenty physicians, Ellich and his thirteen researchers, and some of the recently recruited men in New York, nearly forty people gathered at the Huntelaar house, and there was a lot of activity.

John invited these subordinates to come in order to connect with each other.

Most of the people who were willing to follow John back to New York from Europe were American students, but only two of them were from New York, and the rest were outsiders, two of whom were Germans, and there were six or seven Germans under Ehrlich. Although John rented them a fairly comfortable house and was preparing to build an apartment, for these people, the strangeness of being in a different place was not so easy to eliminate, so it became John's regular job to care about it from time to time.

John undoubtedly attached great importance to these people.

You must know that although Germany is a rising star in Europe, its national strength has flourished after the Franco-Prussian War and the reunification of Germany, and its international status is faintly higher than that of the United States. Not to mention that most of these people have undergone rigorous scientific training in the German education system, and they are considered elite in New York City.

So on such an occasion, John asked Hans to prepare very carefully......

"Ding! Bite! ”

While everyone was chatting lively, John suddenly knocked on the cup in his hand and laughed loudly: "Gentlemen, gentlemen. Please be quiet! ”

The boss spoke, and the whole room naturally fell silent quickly.

After looking around, John? Mr. Huntelaar said aloud with a smile on his face: "Gentlemen, in addition to wanting you to relax, there is a very important thing to announce...... Ahem, ahem! And I think. This is also something that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time......"

"Buzz ......"

Before the boss's words fell, there was a commotion in the room.

Many people who were quick to turn their minds instantly guessed what John was talking about, and their faces immediately showed a look of surprise, and people like Thomas and Ehrlich, who were close to John, were even more pleasantly surprised, and immediately walked quickly to John's side and asked urgently, "Sir, is our hospital about to open?" ”

For these people in the room, what they are most looking forward to is, of course, the "luxurious" hospital.

"Haha, where is it so fast?!"

Waving his hand, John said with a smile: "But what I said today is indeed this matter...... Gentlemen. Just yesterday our hospital was fully completed......"

"Oh......"

As soon as John's voice fell, almost everyone cheered at the same time!

John had taken Ehrlich and Thomas to the hospital, and after that, they had each taken their own men to see them. And for John? There is hardly anyone who is dissatisfied with the hospital that Mr. Huntelaar has built at great expense - it is impossible for anyone who has looked at those buildings to say that they are not good.

These buildings may not represent the highest level of construction of the era, but they are definitely first-class.

And more importantly, whether you want to be a doctor in the future. For those who are still preparing to work in the real yàn room, just look at the outpatient room, the ward, the operating room, and the real yàn room that John planned according to the standards of later generations. They couldn't wait to move in, not to mention the fact that everyone had seen the wires and telephone lines being laid......

Seeing everyone's excitement, John's heart was also very refreshed.

After paying tens of thousands of dollars, the lengthy renovation project is finally over, and the hospital, which has cost John an unprecedented amount of money, was completely delivered to John yesterday. Just yesterday afternoon. The owners of the construction company and the Newton Electric Company have withdrawn from the hospital site, and the security guards hired by old Huntelaar have taken over the entire hospital!

It took more than five years from preparation to completion!

Over five years, the cost of more than $150,000 would be more than $200,000 if you add the power stations under construction. John was given a hospital that satisfied him. Although it cannot be compared with the big hospitals of later generations, and even most of the county hospitals, John can be very sure that in 1887, his hospital was definitely at the top of the hospital pyramid in the world!

So after seeing the completed hospital yesterday, John was very satisfied......

"Gentlemen, gentlemen!"

After everyone was lively for a while, John clapped his hands again, and waited for everyone to calm down before he said aloud again: "Our hospital has been completely completed, so from next week, everyone can move in according to the prior arrangement...... Mr. Ehrlich, especially the equipment and instruments that we brought back from Europe, can start to move in! ”

After hearing these words, Ehrlich and the others were immediately overjoyed.

Although now they can do real things in the rented house, and the conditions are not bad, but after seeing the building of the hospital research center, who wants to stay there?

Seeing the beaming appearance of Ehrlich and the others, Thomas was a little anxious next to him, and hurriedly asked loudly, "Sir, what about us?" Is it possible for a hospital to open? ”

"This ......"

After a little hesitation, John shook his head helplessly and smiled: "If the hospital is a little longer, I am afraid that it will not be able to open until the New Year......

……

“…… So the key now is that we have to wait for the power plants to start running. ”

Shrugging his shoulders, John smiled wryly at the doctors around him: "I think everyone should know that I had the Newton Power Company run the wires throughout the building, but it will take a while for the power plant to run, and the light bulbs are not ready yet......"

John's brow twitched once or twice as he spoke of it.

Although the power plant of this era was relatively simple, it was not so easy to build one, and the production process of tungsten light bulbs costing more than a dollar was a little complicated, and the demand for hundreds of entire hospitals was not so easy to meet, so it made sense for John to make such a decision.

Merely......

"Do you have to wait for the power supply?"

Frowning, Thomas asked, a little puzzled. The advent of electric light has only been around for a few years, and doctors can still work when there was no before, so Thomas is a little puzzled at this time.

"Well, it's more convenient to have an electric light for surgery."

After a vague explanation, John raised his eyebrows, and quickly changed the topic and said: "Thomas, in fact, we are not idle during this time, we can't relax the training of doctors, and the training of nurses must be stepped up, and strive to complete it when it opens!" ”

"Don't worry, no problem."

Blinking his eyes, Thomas said confidently: "If the hospital opens on October 1st, we will have at least seven highly trained surgeons and four internal medicine physicians, which will be enough to deal with the initial patients." As for other people's words, you can be our assistant first, and we will gradually mature. ”

"What about the nurse?"

John's brow furrowed, and he couldn't help but question.

"The nurse has no problem either!"

With a wave of his hand, Thomas said casually: "We have now recruited ten young girls who can read and write, and they can go through at least three months of training before opening, and ...... Because of the relatively high salary we offer, I am confident that I can recruit at least fifteen experienced nurses from other hospitals, which should be enough in a short period of time. ”

"Oh."

Although he nodded and didn't ask more, John's eyes didn't show any reassurance.

John was of course well aware of the importance of nursing, so he simply didn't trust how much of a three-month training Mas had claimed. In later generations, even the most basic nurses will at least graduate from junior high school, and then go through three years of secondary vocational nursing training, and nurses in large hospitals must at least graduate from high school, and then go through three years of higher vocational training. It's hard for John to imagine how high a nurse can be who only meets the most basic literacy requirements and has only been trained for three months!

But now is not the time to talk about this, John can only temporarily bury the matter of more standardized training for nurses, and even the opening of nursing schools in his heart, nodded with a smile and said: "Then you have to work hard during this time, we must prepare all the qiē before the official opening of the hospital......"
