Chapter 144 "Plan for the Construction of Public Hospitals in Texas and Mexico"
September 21, 1868,
It's been almost ten days since Silves' meeting with Tom,
Silves is still thinking about whether to officially join Tom Smith.
Not only Silves, but also the executives of the American Workers' Federation were also puzzled - is Tom Smith, the factory owner, really trustworthy?
Tom Smith is not worth trusting,
Tom Smith's caution must have been sufficient.
Since the separation of the meeting with Silves on September 12, Tom has been staying at Smith's Medical Clinic.
Tom himself donned a thick hazmat suit and worked with researchers at Smith Medicine to study the new cholera bacterium.
Now, Tom Smith is standing outside a glass room, looking at the hundreds of "volunteers" inside the glass room.
After the first few "volunteers" collapsed and died of cholera, Tom directed the researchers to pull the bodies down in the next dissection room for autopsy.

A minute, two minutes, and half an hour passed, and a researcher who was involved in the dissection walked out of the dissection room.
He took out a document and read out the results of the dissection in front of Tom:
"Volunteer No. 9527 has released the results of the autopsy, and the cause of death is severe dehydration caused by cholera, and no cholera germs have been found in the patient's body except for the consumption tract."
Tom, dressed like a rubber penguin, nodded to the researcher with satisfaction,
In the past few days, Tom has led the researchers of the Smith Medical Institute to observe the effects of several cholera germs on the human body in groups.
Experiments have shown that whether it is the original cholera bacterium that originated in India, the old cholera bacterium that is rampant in Europe, or the new cholera bacterium born in Smith Medicine, the mortality rate is very different:
The mortality rate of cholera patients who are completely unattended is more than 60 per cent, and the mortality rate of cholera patients with small care is between 30 and 40 per cent.
The mortality rate of cholera patients in young adults who receive adequate care is less than 1 per cent.
However, the mortality rate of the elderly, especially those over the age of 35, has soared to more than 50 percent, regardless of whether they have perfect care or not.
In particular, the mortality rate of the elderly over 50 years old, even if they are taken care of around the clock, is still high, with a mortality rate of 87 percent, which is close to 90 percent.
In addition, the results of the dissection of cholera patients who died despite adequate care were found to have other complications in these cholera patients.
From the results of the analysis, it is difficult to determine whether the deaths were due to complications or cholera.
Tom picked up several records of the results on his desk and carefully compared the differences between the patients.
No matter how you look at it, the words on the results of the experiment will not change – cholera is unlikely to cause mass deaths if it is cared for!
The most important thing is that strong labor does not die en masse!
"Old man?"
"Can you still stand eighteen hours of overtime a day over the age of thirty-five?"
"If you are over 50 years old, you may be working for six or seven hours a day at most, right?"
"Since you can't make screws for eighteen hours a day, why waste food while still alive?"
"Wouldn't it be nice to be optimized early?"
Tom, who had figured it all out, put down the papers in his hand, said hello to the researchers at the medical institute, and returned to Smith Farm in a carriage.
Smith Farm was still as heavily guarded as usual, and all security guards wore thick protective suits.
Tom, who got out of the carriage, looked at Johnny Smith, who was seven feet tall, and walked towards Tom Smith with a smile that could be seen through a glass mask.
Prepare for the return of Tom Smith the Great.
When Johnny walked up to Tom, Tom gave his first order back to Smith's Farm:
"Johnny, you go and inform Loki in Austin and John in Mexico and tell them that there's a big job!"
Johnny saw the seriousness of Tom's expression through the glass masks of both sides, and his face darkened, and after answering, he led his men to send a telegram to Big Brother Loki and Big Brother John.
September 29,
John rushed back to Houston.
Back at Smith Farm.
At Smith Farm, Tom took off his glass mask for the first time in a long time, took off the rubber protective suit that made Tom look like a penguin, and began to write his homework with his five younger sisters.
Among the five younger sisters, Diane is the eldest, already fourteen years old, and is the younger sister whom Tom met on the road from Germany to America.
It was also the first person Tom saw after crossing over, and at the same time, Diane also took care of Tom, who had just crossed over and had a fever for three days because of the crossing.
Under these shared experiences, Diane, who was abandoned by her parents and sent on a smuggling boat with Tom, became Tom's cousin.
Amy and Alice are Tom's twin sisters, and they are thirteen years old.
Mia and Rena are John's twin sisters, the same age as Amy and Alice.
The five female dolls completed their homework together under Tom's supervision.
Tom's homework is very demanding and a little unreasonable.
These thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls have already begun to do Tom's high school science problems.
By the cultural standards of this era, these five girls could already become university tutors.
While Tom is instructing his five little sisters with their homework, John enters Smith Farm.
John glanced at his sisters who were doing their homework there, and didn't bother them, but looked at Loki and Johnny beside him.
Loki is still as usual, with a hint of frightening eerie aura in his hippie smile,
Loki pulled out a copy of Tom's plan and handed it to John, who had just entered the door.
"Plan for the Construction of Public Hospitals in Texas and Mexico"
John glanced at the slogan on the cover of the plan, and couldn't believe it was a plan written by Tom Smith.
John had heard Tom say more than once:
"People should die when they are old and sick, don't waste public resources, public resources should go all out to develop the industry!"
"What a bullshit health care system, I'd rather add a million screw jobs in Texas and Mexico than add a hospital bed!"
This kind of opposition to the construction of the medical system.
Why did Tom Smith change sex today?
John opened the plan that Tom had written,
The front is nothing, just a normal plan, a plan for the construction of a large number of hospitals in Texas and Mexico.
While increasing the number of hospitals in various regions, increase the number of medical posts.
