Chapter 30 Standardization
"Welcome to beautiful Vienna, Mr. Huntelaar!"
As he walked out of the train station exhausted, John and his party were immediately greeted by Mr. Wolfler of the Vienna General Hospital. The surgeon, who had just undergone more than a month of study in the Department of Surgery at Charlotte Hospital, was very enthusiastic when he saw John, and directly stepped forward to bow slightly, and took the lead in extending his right hand.
Although much older than John, it seemed natural to Wolfler.
"Thank you."
John was not polite, and nodded with a smile while shaking hands with the other party.
For the few people behind John who were obviously with him, Wolfler originally just wanted to nod his head, but the moment he saw Anna, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then his expression immediately became a little strange: "Mr. Huntelaar, this beautiful lady is ......"
"Anna? Brister, it's a pleasure to meet you, sir. ”
With a gentle smile, Anna gave a standard lady's salute. In front of outsiders, Anna will definitely show her ladylike demeanor after more than ten years of rigorous training, and only in front of her family or John, she will show more of her liveliness and cuteness as a seventeen-year-old girl.
"Anna is a friend of mine, come to Vienna for a few days."
John didn't want to explain too much, so he simply changed the subject and said, "Mr. Wolfler, has the hotel we stayed in arranged?" ”
"Of course!"
Wolfler laughed and said, "After receiving your telegram, Professor Bierrot asked people to make arrangements, and we will go to the hotel first?" ”
"Okay."
John nodded, and everyone got into the carriage hired by Wolffler and left the train station.
By the time they had checked in, Professor Bierrot had already heard the news, and the group had a hot meal in this rather upscale hotel, during which John and Bierrot talked and laughed like old friends. To Anna's surprise, who had seen this for the first time. In her simple thoughts, this Professor Bierrot's temperament is quite capable of a surgeon at a glance, and John can communicate with him so equally, it seems that being a doctor in addition to making money in business is also quite powerful!
Then a resentment rose in the pretty girl's heart, for until now John had not fulfilled his promise to take Anna to her operating room......
……
Vienna. John's impression of it was that it was the capital of music.
But in reality, at the end of the 19th century, Vienna was the largest German-speaking city in the world, larger than Berlin, and was arguably the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and one of the centers of attention in the whole of Europe.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1886 was in a period of great strength.
Despite its internal contradictions, and the fact that the country was not developing as fast as its brother and neighbor Germany, Austria-Hungary was able to enjoy universal respect as one of the few great powers in Europe. And more critically. At this time, Austria was a paradise for art, especially classical music, and its technological prowess was developing rapidly under the influence of Germany.
In the field of medicine, the Medical University of Vienna is also well-known.
Bierrot is undoubtedly the most famous professor at the Medical University of Vienna, the surgeon who invented the Bier-style gastric cancer surgery is now highly respected in Austria, and by 1886 he was already very famous. So when he invited John to visit the Department of Surgery at the Vienna General Hospital tomorrow at the table, Mr. Huntelaar nodded without hesitation. "I'm looking forward to visiting tomorrow!"
Put down the cup in your hand. John said with a smile on his face.
On the way to the hotel, he learned many things from Mr. Wolfler, such as the fact that the surgical building of the Vienna Hospital was not being renovated. However, operating rooms and wards have been remodeled, surgical sterilization norms have been replicated almost entirely, and even two local anesthetics have been routinely used in surgery with the help of the chemistry department of the University of Vienna.
John was looking forward to the Vienna General Hospital, which had embraced his ideas.
Of course, Bierrot also understood this, and immediately smiled and nodded: "We did make some changes based on the experience of Charlotte Hospital. When the time comes, please ask Mr. Huntelaar to help me check if there are any things that are not good enough......"
……
"Anna, go back to your room and rest."
After eating, John smiled at Anna and said.
"Okay."
The girl knew that John had something to say to Professor Bierrot, so she nodded obediently and left.
"Professor. How about a cup of coffee together? ”
After Anna left, John smiled and extended an invitation to Professor Bierrot.
"Hehe, okay."
Looking at John's dark brown leather bag, Bierrot nodded thoughtfully and smiled. According to common sense, after a "long journey" of nearly 1,000 kilometers, John must have been exhausted, and he should have rested early after dinner, and now he suddenly invited himself to drink coffee, which naturally has something to say.
After the two came to the café and sat down, John didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out a finger-thick book from his purse and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Professor Bierrot, this is a book I just published, please review it!" “
Just before leaving Berlin, at John's insistence, the publisher rushed to print the first books. "Oh?"
Bierrot raised his eyebrows, secretly a little frightened.
The book written by Mr. Huntelaar, and now presented to himself, must be about surgery, so it does not take much thought for Bierrot to guess the main content of the book. In fact, it is only a matter of time before a good physician publishes a book containing his own academic philosophy, and Mr. Huntelaar's achievements in the fields of surgical sterilization, anesthesia, and abdominal surgery are enough to support the contents of a book, but looking at the young and immature face of the guy in front of him, Bierrot still has a sense of unreal disobedience.
No matter how you look at it, it's too young!
Taking the book and taking a deep breath, Bierrot glanced at the cover. The cover of the book is very simple, it is the most common white cardboard, and the title of the book is "Surgical Sterilization, Anesthesia and Appendectomy", which are the three most important research results of Mr. Huntelaar in the past year!
"Thank you, I'll definitely read it carefully."
Carefully put the book away, Mr. Bierrot said earnestly.
"There's another paper."
After Bilrot put away the books, John took out another stack of bound white paper and said, "It's some ideas about the standardization of surgery, and I just wrote them before I left...... Hehe, in addition to Professor Bergman, I would like to ask you to give me a review. ”
"Oh?"
The pupils shrank, and Bierrot was suddenly shocked!
As an excellent surgeon, Bierrot has been waiting for the content of John's book for a long time, after all, the latest types of surgical sterilization, local anesthesia techniques and appendectomy are the hottest in Europe. But on the other hand, he also has a strong interest in John's academic concept of standardizing and streamlining all surgical techniques.
After a simple transformation of the Department of Surgery at the Vienna General Hospital, and partial implementation of John's criteria, in just three or four months, Bierrot has sensitively discovered the ideas contained in these seemingly cumbersome norms: the standardization and quantification of preoperative patient assessment, the standardization of preoperative preparation, the standardization of anesthetic dosage and injection site, the standardization of surgical incision selection, the standardization of surgical procedures and emergency response, and the standardization of postoperative care......
Surgical procedures are all incorporated into a strict system.
In the opinion of the experienced Bierrot, these may well be more important than Mr. Huntelaar's book!
John was secretly relieved and relieved to see Bierrot's serious attitude towards his manuscript, although in this era when surgeons were generally not very sophisticated, and had not even fully accepted the theory of bacteriology, it was definitely a thankless task to introduce such a standardized concept. But John couldn't help but write this "miscellaneous" that probably no one would accept for a long time, and he just hoped that the top surgeons like Bierrot would understand it more or less, so that it would be enough for him...... (To be continued......)
