Chapter 167 Preparation for the establishment of a medical school
Michael's grandson has been sulking with me since An An has seized the opportunity to invite An An to eat together, An An sometimes refuses, sometimes agrees, but she and Michael are also very clear, eating is just a simple meal, if Michael has any other ideas, it may be disappointed, Michael doesn't mind, he said that he would respect An An's choice, but in fact, he had other plans in his heart.
In Michael's opinion, there is no girl in the world who will not like Gao Fu Shuai, in Michael's self-examination, Gao Fu Shuai's three points are almost tailor-made for him, he feels that although An An is still infatuated with me, but as time goes by, as long as he continues to strengthen the offensive, then it is a matter of time before An An is captured.
Before the abolition of slavery on the islands, slaves often fell ill on their own behalf, and the slave owners would at most help buy some medicine if they had some conscience, but that was all. Now that slavery has been abolished, slaves who have a cold or fever will go to the clinic by themselves, and the greater the number of consultations, the greater the pressure on the clinic.
At present, the doctors in the island clinic who can treat people seriously include Michael, An An, and Freud, among which An An was originally just a nurse, and theoretically he is not qualified to consult doctors, but after all, in an era where all aspects are still relatively backward, An An's previous medical knowledge is also ahead of its time.
However, only three doctors are obviously not enough, especially the slaves on the island have suffered all kinds of devastation before, and their bodies have more or less strange problems, just to give them medical treatment is already understaffed, but if doctors are transferred from other parts of the empire, it is also quite difficult, after all, Paradise Island is only a distant overseas territory, and the attraction is really limited, and a high-achieving student like Michael, who graduated from the Royal Imperial Academy of Medicine, would not want to come if it were not arranged by Duke Jackson himself, and it is estimated that he would be killed. Therefore, the most reliable way is to cultivate locally.
Of course, to train a qualified doctor is certainly not a matter of one or two days, we used to live in the era, a medical student often has to study for five or eight years before he can come out for medical treatment, that is still in the various medical materials are relatively rich and sound, the medical means tend to be mature under the premise, if in this era, it may be more difficult. At the same time, Michael also said that with the current medical facilities on the island, major diseases cannot be seen, and doctors only need to master the diagnosis and treatment methods of some common minor diseases, and the difficulty of talent training has been reduced a lot.
Several other people in the clinic also agreed with Michael's idea, so everyone decided to write a letter to James together, proposing to establish the first medical school on Paradise Island, but after the letter was written, everyone felt that James was not going to be able to do anything, and the most important thing was that he couldn't get enough financial support, so they changed the letterhead to Duke Jackson. When Duke Jackson saw the letter, he readily agreed to their proposal, and was willing to pay half of the cost to build a medical school, and the remaining half was up to Michael and the others to figure it out.
After getting the duke's reply, An An and the others were naturally very happy, but they soon made another difficulty, where to raise the rest of the money?
Michael said to An An, "Isn't your friend the manager of the Island Winery?" Can you ask him to invest? ”
An An shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's hard to say whether his winery has made a profit so far, even if he has the heart to invest, he will definitely not be able to come up with any money." ”
"Oh," Michael said with a smug nod, "It was the superficial scenery, I thought the winery manager was really an island tycoon." ”
An An glanced at Michael dissatisfiedly and said, "Can you not seize the opportunity to sneer at him, no matter what, he is also my friend." ”
Michael shrugged, "Okay, okay. Since he can't come up with the money, I can pay for it. ”
"You're going to pay for it?" An An looked at Michael, "Do you have that much money?" ”
"An'an, have you forgotten? Dr. Michael is a dignified student of the Royal College of Medicine, and if he can go to the Royal College of Medicine, which does not have both wealth and wisdom, this amount of money should be regarded as a drop in the bucket for Dr. Michael. Floyd said with a flattering face.
"Huh!" Michael enjoyed the praise of others, and he smiled proudly and said, "After all, Dr. Freud has seen the world, and what he says is a level." However, this money is not a drop in the bucket for me, and I am not a super-rich man like Duke Jackson or Earl Soros, so although I can give this money, there must be preconditions. ”
"What prerequisites?" An An asked.
"I want you to be the dean of this medical school and hold half of the medical school on my behalf."
"What?" An An's eyebrows immediately wrinkled a Sichuan character, and she asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by this?" Why should I be the dean of this medical school? You're the chief doctor at the Island Clinic. In addition, it makes no sense for me to hold half of the shares of the medical school on your behalf, you and I are not related to each other, why do you pay for it, and I own the shares? ”
"Naturally, I have a reason for this." Michael said mysteriously: "Doctor Zhou, these two conditions are not harmful to you, I hope you can accept them." ”
"No way!" An An shook his head decisively, "Although your request for the past two days has no harm to me, I definitely can't agree, especially since it is absolutely impossible to hold the shares of the medical school on your behalf." ”
"Okay!" Michael sighed a little disappointed, and said abruptly: "If you don't want to, then forget it, let's think of other ways to get the rest of the money, if you can't raise it in the end, then the medical school matter can only not be counted." ”
As soon as Michael left, Floyd immediately pulled An An aside and whispered to her, "Why didn't you agree to his request?" Isn't it good for you to set up a medical school, but for the whole of Paradise Island? ”
An An looked at Floyd, sneered twice, and said, "Can't you see what Michael's idea is?" If I agree to his request, how will I face Han Dong in the future? ”
"I think you're thinking too much, you can build a medical school first?"
"Thinking too much? Freud: Were you bought by Michael? ”
Freud immediately waved his hand and said, "No, what's the matter, do I look like someone who will be bought?" Besides, how long have we known each other, he's only been here for a few days, I'm definitely on your side, but in this matter, I think it's really good to be able to establish a medical school, and if we have the chance, we should try to fight for it as much as possible, Dr. Michael is not as bad as you think. ”
"Oh, really?" An An asked unhappily, "You like Dr. Michael so much?" Why don't you work hard and see if he can make you the dean of the medical school. ”
Before Freud could reply, Uncle Wei and the others suddenly rushed into the clinic with a person in their arms, and when they saw An An, they immediately said nervously: "An An, quickly show me, why did this kid suddenly faint!" ”
"Fainted suddenly?" An An asked Uncle Wei to send Xiaoka to the emergency room, and asked him, "What happened?" Did you faint without warning? ”
Uncle Wei put Xiaoka on the bed, relieved himself and said, "I fainted suddenly, no one knew what happened, and I fell down without warning." ”
"You go out first, Floyd quickly call Dr. Michael over, by the way, Uncle Wei, you can also send someone to inform Han Dong."
