Chapter 50

“…… Thank you, thank you very much! ”

Before leaving Heinz Hospital, Mr. Wesley only had this sentence left in his mouth, this middle-aged man, who had always been very calm, looked very excited and excited after getting the blood type results for himself and his child, and all that remained in his heart was gratitude to John.

"You're welcome, it's our job."

Dealing with Mr. Wesley's thanks lightly, John was also secretly relieved.

Mr. Wesley and the little boy he brought with him both had type O blood, much to Wesley's own delight, and John was also very pleased. This is the best result, although the father's blood type is type O, and the child is possible except for AB, but the blood type of the two is exactly the same, which saves John a lot of things at once.

At least for the little boy, a potential family storm disappeared invisibly, and there seemed to be little to lose other than the three hundred dollars in cash that Wesley had paid for it......

Three hundred dollars, just to check your blood type.

Of course, the cost of this examination is undoubtedly too high, even if the blood group is a newly discovered theory, and only a very few doctors or physiologists can do it, but three hundred dollars is too high, I am afraid that only someone of Mr. Wesley's worth would not hesitate to pay such a huge amount. But that's what John wants, and he wants to use the high price to scare off people who want to get a blood grouping test......

"Hmm......"

Seeing Mr. Wesley happily leave with the child, John groaned slightly. Turning his head to the person in charge of the hospital's clinical laboratory, he said, "Mr. Barton, I thought about it for a while, and all blood group tests in the future will be at least three hundred dollars at a time...... Remember. It's a single person, not a two-person single time today! Let's go back and talk to Mr. Thomas, and put this price into the hospital's price list! ”

"Yes, sir."

Without any hesitation, Mr. Barton nodded immediately.

The cost of a blood type check was a few dollars, but Mr. Patton had clearly heard about what was happening in Europe. Therefore, I agree with John's decision: people who can afford this kind of examination are not ordinary, and would rather not earn this money than make trouble for themselves and the hospital.

But......

After a brief silence. Mr. Barton asked cautiously, "Mr. Huntelaar, what about blood group research...... Are we going to continue in our lab? ”

"Of course!"

Raising his eyebrows, John nodded without hesitation: "Although I hope to stop serving the public for the time being, you still have to continue your research on blood types!" All information must be kept in a safe place. Waiting for the right moment is what we need to ......"

It's like Mr. Wesley never came. Things calmed down.

But John himself knew that this so-called calm was just an illusion, especially when he received a telegram from London and the Lancet decided to publish the article in early May, and he knew that he would receive more criticism and more people to check his own and his children's blood types in the coming period, which was why he had raised the price of the service to three hundred dollars in one go.

Once he was prepared, John stopped paying attention to it.

The end of the 19th century was a time of great change, and not only almost all disciplines of science ushered in great development during this period. At the same time, there are people's inherent thoughts and ideas, and John does not look down on the receptivity of people in this era. But I don't underestimate them.

Just like how receptive New Yorkers have been to Heinz General Hospital since it opened......

……

“…… Yes, ma'am. ”

In his own outpatient room, Aiken? Dr. Carter smiled with some confidence: "For this kind of disease, we do not recommend the use of medicine, it is recommended that you give your child more carrots, cod liver oil, animal liver, eggs, spinach, green peppers and pumpkin...... Well, here's a table from our hospital with some of the foods he should eat. ”

While talking, Aiken? Carter handed a piece of paper to the lady in front of him.

"That's all?"

Casually glanced at the paper in her hand, and the lady who came to see the doctor with the child glanced at the doctor in front of her suspiciously, her eyes were undoubtedly full of distrust!

"Yes, ma'am, that's all."

As if someone had put a nail under his ass, Carter was a little restless, but finally replied, "I highly recommend you try it, after all, it's not that hard to do, right?" Give it a try, and there is nothing to lose for you and your child...... In addition, ma'am, we will also make a return visit to your registered address and pay close attention to the corresponding effect ......"

"Hoo ......"

After seeing off another disgruntled patient, Carter let out a long sigh of relief and leaned heavily back in his chair.

From his point of view, it is not easy to convince these patients, after all, he will not give them any prescriptions, and he cannot even give a real diagnosis, but only advise the other party to eat more food, or spend more time in the sun, exercise more, etc., not to mention convincing these patients and their families, even he himself is a little unacceptable.

However, he can only accept orders from the dean.

Night blindness, beriberi and rickets, Heinz General Hospital has welcomed quite a few patients with these three diseases in recent days, and all such patients have been sent to Aiken by nurses? Carter and Allen? Evans' outpatient room. The two young internal medicine doctors insisted on asking and examining them, and then prescribed prescriptions that made them feel incredible: no medicine, only food!

"Gotcha! Get! ”

Carter had just breathed a sigh of relief when there was another knock on the door to the clinic.

"Sure enough, the free ones are the most popular."

With some disgruntled muttering, Carter straightened up and responded, "Please come in." ”

But to Carter's surprise. It wasn't the nurse or the patient who pushed the door in, but his colleague Alan? Mr. Evans, he asked with a gloomy look on his face as he walked through the door, "Aiken." The morning clinic is over, go to lunch together? ”

"It's over?"

Hearing this, Carter was slightly stunned, Carter hurriedly looked at the time, and sure enough, it was already twelve o'clock.

Although he was a little tired at this time, Carter stood up after thinking about it for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go together......"

"Gotcha! Get! ”

It was at this time. The little nurse in the outpatient clinic knocked on the door, blinked a pair of big eyes, and said urgently, "Mr. Evans, it just so happens that you are here too." Mr. Huntelaar, I would like to invite you both to come and visit...... By the way, he said he was waiting for you at the restaurant! ”

"The two of us? Restaurant? ”

After hearing the little nurse's words, the two internal medicine doctors looked at each other, and at the same time thought of the reason why Huntelaar was looking for him......

“…… Ha ha. You may be seated. ”

Came to the restaurant. John greeted the two internal medicine doctors warmly and said with a smile: "I came early and ordered some food for you on my own initiative...... If you don't like it, you can ask for it again. ”

"No problem, I like to eat these, thank you."

The two internal medicine physicians hurriedly shook their heads and said respectfully.

The food in the hospital cafeteria was good, and Mr. Huntelaar ordered absolute signature dishes for both of them, so naturally they were not dissatisfied. It's just that the two of them have a lot of questions in their hearts at this time. What kind of mind does you have to eat for a while? Carter quickly gritted his teeth as he sat down and asked, "Mr. Huntelaar." You're looking for the two of us today...... Is it about those diseases? ”

"Yes, yes."

After taking a sip of the water, John nodded and smiled, "It's been many days since the advertisement was published, and the hospital should have admitted some patients during this time, right?" And I guess you two have a lot of doubts about my treatment options, right? ”

"Yes, sir."

After glancing at each other, the two physicians nodded at the same time.

Not only are there a lot of doubts?

In fact, the more patients in these three categories were treated, the more uneasy the two internal medicine doctors became, because almost every patient was puzzled and puzzled when they got the "prescription", and some of them were even scolding directly, thinking that the hospital was playing tricks on them. And every time they encountered such a situation, the two doctors had to try their best to explain, and even had to raise the name of Mr. Dean to stabilize each other.

Under such circumstances, how could the two of them not have doubts in their hearts?

After hesitating for a moment, Evans frowned and asked, "Mr. Huntelaar, what is the treatment you provide...... Uh, treatment options, can you really cure those diseases? ”

"Healed? Hehe, I'm not sure! ”

Smiling slightly, John immediately shook his head and said.

"What?"

The two doctors were startled, and their eyes widened at the same time.

"Don't worry."

Waving his hand, John first calmed the two doctors, and then said indifferently: "I think you two should also understand, for example, night blindness, there are many reasons that may cause this symptom, and the treatment plan I provide is only for one of the conditions, and it is naturally impossible to cure all night blindness." However, I believe that there should be no problem in curing some of them. ”

"Oh, that's right."

After hearing these words, the two internal medicine doctors immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

And John? The more time Mr. Huntelaar was exposed, the more doctors accepted the notion that any clinical symptom was driven by an intrinsic disease. For example, the cause of fever may be an ordinary cold or flu, or pneumonia or meningitis, and after accepting John's idea, the two also accepted the idea that night blindness is a clinical symptom, not a disease, and naturally understood what John meant: in the paper I saw not long ago, the relevant content was clearly stated.

However, after much consideration, Evans still asked in a tangled manner: "Sir, but I still don't understand, we don't have any laboratory evidence, and we don't have any clinical evidence, such a treatment plan...... Is it really possible? ”

"So, I need the help of both of you!"

Shrugging his shoulders, John said with a smile: "For now, whether it is these treatment plans or the papers that have been sent, they are all based on some literature and my own thinking, and if you really want to prove them, you need not only clinical evidence, but also laboratory evidence!" So I'm going to form a small team, consisting of the two of you and two researchers, to focus on vitamins and the ...... of diseases caused by vitamin deficiency" (to be continued......
