In anticipation of the arrival of old Huntelaar, John asked Bergman for a week's vacation.

Bergman readily agreed.

With the gradual application of the new disinfection method, the surgery department of Charlotte Hospital is finally no longer full of pungent stone carbonic acid smell, and whether from the objective situation of the patient after surgery or from the reaction of the physicians, Bergman can be sure that these new methods proposed by John have been successful, as long as some more cases are accumulated, the paper can be out!

In this case, John's taking a week off work was a trivial matter.

Taking advantage of this rare relaxation time, Johan accompanied the elder Huntelaar for a good walk around Berlin. It has been twenty years since the old man left Berlin, and he is very unfamiliar with this high-profile city, and many places are not even as familiar as John, and John usually wanders around aimlessly, so he will not be bored running around every day.

Both of them tacitly agreed that they did not talk about their studies and the future.

John was waiting for a suitable moment, hoping that the two articles with his name would be published as far as he could, and that he would be able to talk to his grandfather more loudly, while old Huntelaar did not know why, except that after saying a few words in the carriage on the first day, he did not mention it as if he had forgotten about it.

In a word, the atmosphere between the grandfather and grandson is unusually harmonious.

While John was at home with his grandfather, his thick letter left Berlin, passed through Hamburg and boarded the ship, and was delivered to London, the capital of the British Empire......

……

In the future 21st century, there is a behemoth in the scientific publishing industry called Elsevier, which has more than 2,000 magazines and is a real world-class publishing giant. And among the many magazines of this behemoth, the two most influential are "CE11" and "the

1ancet, that is, "Cell" and "The Lancet".

In John's time, Cell, along with Science and Nature, was one of the top journals in the natural sciences, and The Lancet, founded in 1823, became one of the four most famous authoritative general medical journals, along with the British Medical Journal, the New England Journal of Medicine, and the American Medical Journal.

For most scientists, it is a matter of pride to be able to publish articles in these journals.

China is one of the countries that value this the most, John still clearly remembers a piece of news he once heard, that is, a senior sister was hired as a professor and doctoral supervisor by a medical university after graduation because she wrote an article in "Cell" when she was studying for a doctorate, and it can be said that an article is worth the efforts of many peers for more than ten years or even more than twenty years!

And in this era, The Lancet is also quite an excellent academic journal.

When Liszt was running into walls everywhere, it was "The Lancet" who risked being attacked and was the first to demonstrate his aseptic disinfection technology, which put the British physician on the stage of history. However, in this era, because the center of world medicine has shifted from Paris to Germany, German-language journals are the most striking of existence, and The Lancet is relatively much more dimmer.

More than 100 years ago, the entire editorial department of "The Lancet" was only three people.

Of course, although the number of people capable of conducting medical research in this era is very small, and the number of papers written each year is not large, it is impossible for three people to hold up a journal, even if it is a medical journal more than a hundred years ago. In fact, these three people are just the resident editors of the magazine, in addition to the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine, there will also be some professionals who often give some help and guidance as consultants of the magazine......

More than 100 years ago, the mode of operation of academic journals was actually quite mature.

Moreover, as a journal that has been published for 60 years, the editors of The Lancet are also quite high, basically engaged in the profession of clinicians, and even conducted research on anatomy and physiology, so most papers can be reviewed without the help of external forces, which can be said to be easy.

But today, the editor of The Lancet, Joseph? Mr. Graham was stumped.

What stumped him was a medical treatise from Germany on blood and surgery, and Mr. Graham was stunned when he first saw the title of the paper.

Inferences from Human Blood Types and Common Causes of Death in Clinical Blood Transfusion.

This title is really weird!

Graham certainly understands what this means, after all, the Lancet itself was founded by a surgeon, and as editor, Graham knows a thing or two about this uncommon technique. In addition, The Lancet had received articles before, and Graham had a vague impression that although this technique might have saved some people, many more had died......

But what does "human blood type" mean?

Graham, who has lived for more than 30 years, is very sure that he has never heard of this concept!

Driven by curiosity, Mr. Graham immediately read the long paper, trying to find out what the author meant by blood type. This is a time when medicine is becoming a science, and new ideas are being produced every day, and it is clear that the editor, Mr. Graham, enjoys the sensation of being blown away by the new.

Sure enough, after reading the entire paper, Graham was stunned!

Is this called John? It is really interesting that the Germans of Huntelaar actually thought that there were huge differences in human blood, and in his paper he categorized them into four types: type A, B, O and AB, and finally after a long argument that blood transfusions only succeeded and failed because of the same or different blood types!

This argument is truly amazing!

After searching his brain, Graham didn't seem to find any similar memory, and judging from his previous education and experience as a physician, the contents of the paper were now beyond his comprehension!

But......

After seeing the narrative in the paper and the actual records listed, Graham felt that the author seemed to have sufficient evidence, starting from the analysis of the phenomenon of blood agglutination, to the speculation of possible causes, to hundreds of cross-realizations, and finally to the corresponding results and inferences, which gave people a convincing feeling when reading!

These two aspects, which seem to be somewhat contradictory, make Graham frown desperately.

"Hey, Joseph, what are you doing?"

Just as Mr. Graham's mind kept turning the ideas in the paper, the curious voice of his colleague David came from behind him. The desks of the two were next to each other, and David was now a colleague who had been staying after reading a manuscript, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

Awakened by the voice of his colleague, Mr. Graham took a deep breath as if he had found an outlet, and then said sharply: "David, the idea of this paper is so novel...... You should definitely check it out right away! ”

"Oh?"

After hearing Mr. Graham's words, David's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he quickly stood up and walked to Graham's desk, picked up the paper and read it carefully.

After a moment, David's face also showed a look of astonishment, and after a while, he smiled dumbly and said, "Joseph, the point of view of this paper is a bit interesting...... Tsk, this should be a kind of conjecture, right? How many other types of human blood can be divided? Haha, this author is also so interesting! ”

It is clear that David does not agree with the points in the paper, and there is a hint of mockery in both his expression and tone.

Compared with Graham, who had only been a physician, David, who was once an associate professor at the university, was older and more knowledgeable, but he had never heard of a similar point of view, so his first impression after reading this paper was ridiculous, and then it was funny, and he shook his head again and again while sneering, thinking that this article was just another surgeon's whim.

"Really?"

Graham didn't quite agree with his colleague's opinion, he frowned and said seriously: "But I think his views and arguments are novel, but the actual number jù is very convincing!" And if this theory is true, then it can explain why the blood of different people agglutinates when they meet, and the reason why the blood transfusion failed can also be explained......"

"Hahaha......"

After hearing Graham's words, David couldn't help laughing, shook his head again and again, and said, "Joseph, is the failure of the operation necessarily the cause of the blood transfusion?" Why did many countries ban surgery half a century ago? That's because the success rate of the surgery is so low! And even now, is the success rate of many surgeries high? ”

"This ......"

Joseph was speechless for David for a moment.

Indeed, there are so many reasons that can cause a surgical failure that no one can be sure that it must be a blood transfusion, and Graham simply cannot object to this. In fact, if it weren't for the recent advances in anesthesia, sterilization, and some surgical techniques, many surgical procedures would still be off-limits to physicians, and even so, the mortality rate of slightly larger surgical patients would still be quite high.

Indeed, it is difficult to say what blood type the patient's death is necessarily related to.

"I'll just say it!"

Seeing the doubt and hesitation on Graham's face, David was quite proud in his heart, and after putting down the paper, he patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Have we seen fewer curious papers over the years?" Many doctors can fabricate an article by patting their heads, and if they go to the bottom of each article in detail, this work is too tiring! And what is the name of this author? ”

Glancing down at the cover of the paper, David smiled and said, "University of Berlin, John?" Huntelaar ...... Have you ever heard of the name? ”

"Nope!"

Subconsciously, Graham nodded.

As an editor of a magazine, you have to pay attention to the achievements of your peers in addition to your own work, so it is natural that they have heard of the best doctors in Europe, especially in places like the University of Berlin. Huntelaar really didn't have the slightest impression.

David nodded proudly and smiled: "Hmph, I haven't heard of such a Mr. Huntelaar either, so if the author is really from the University of Berlin, it is likely to be a young guy...... It's just nonsense! ”

After hearing this, Graham was silent.

At first glance, David's words seem reasonable, but perhaps out of personal intuition, Graham always felt that this paper was not as simple as David said, and he thought that this John? Mr. Huntelaar's point of view is really reasonable, and if established, it can explain a lot of problems, and it will have an immeasurable impact on clinical medicine, especially surgery!

"Alright, let's move on to the next one."

After expressing his opinion, David patted Graham on the shoulder again, smiled and nodded, and went back to his desk.

But behind him, Graham did not follow his advice, but refocused his gaze on the cover of the paper, his gaze full of hesitation, and the tangled look on his face lingered for a long time...... (To be continued.)
