Dr. Edgerton H. Hart was born in China to missionary parents, was
educated in America and returned to China to head one of the
hospitals his father, Virgil Hart built in Wuhu, on the Yangtze
River. His medical skills were highly regarded by both the Chinese
and foreigners. From Caroline Harts' personal journal, At last my
preparation of years was rewarded, for I carried in my pocket a
half-read letter that appointed me to China. That early afternoon
in the spring of 1904 found me hurrying toward the operating rooms
of Chicago's huge Cook County Hospital, at that time said to be the
largest charity hospital in the world. A brief luncheon period and
a rush day in surgery had allowed only a glance at the letter, but
it was my uppermost thought as I scrubbed up, put on cap, mask and
gown and entered the room where an operation was already under way.
I moved silently to my station and after a few moments, the chief
surgeon, alert always to the personnel and efficiency of his
assistants, looked up. He said teasingly, "So the little red-headed
missionary is here to help, looking for the entire world as if she
had seen a vision. Just when and where are you going?"
