刚好微信上收到这个故事的帖子,本着谨慎求真的态度,查了一下国外的网站,有一个澄清的帖子,大家有兴趣可以看看下面转过来的帖子,主要意思就是这个故事梗概是真的,只不过被小说化了,真是的故事是:郝武德医生本来已经是医生而不是在穷学生时代发生的事情,然后一个春天的某一天,他散步时停在一个农场的房子前,想讨一杯水歌,一个小女孩开门,给了他一杯牛奶,他短暂的停留以后就走了,后来这个小女孩急诊来到他的医院,需要马上做手术,他就亲自做了这个手术,并且给的账单上说,一杯牛奶以足够付你的手术费了.真是的故事没有那么煽情,却也是能让人知道感恩的, 谢谢!The Generous Gift of a Glass of Milk that Ended up Paying for Medical Care-Truth!Summary of eRumor: A boy from a poor family who was a door-to-door salesman ran out of money. He was hungry and decided to ask for food from the next person who answered the door. He ended up merely asking for a glass of water, however, and the woman he asked brought him a glass of milk instead. Many years later, the poor boy was now a famous physician named Dr. Howard Kelly and the woman who gave him the glass of milk was seriously ill. He gave himself to her care, she recovered, and when the bill was presented, Dr. Kelly wrote, “Paid in full with one glass of milk.” The Truth: As is often the case, someone has fictionalized the details of this story and gotten some of it wrong, but it is essentially a true event.Dr. Howard Kelly was a distinguished physician who, in 1895, founded the Johns Hopkins Division of Gynecologic Oncology at Johns Hopkins University. According to Dr. Kelly’s biographer, Audrey Davis, the doctor was on a walking trip through Northern Pennsylvania one spring day when we stopped by a farm house for a drink of water. A little girl answered his knock at the door and instead of water, brought him a glass of fresh milk. He visited with her briefly, then went his way. Sometime after that, the little girl came to him as a patient and needed surgery. After the surgery, the bill was brought to her room and on it were the words, “Paid in full with one glass of milk.”Our thanks to Andrew Harrison, the Processing Archivist and Fine Arts Coordinator for the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, for help with this story.Posted 7/6/07
