"Mr. Huntelaar, I still don't think there is much point in such a cumbersome disinfection step, and the surgical disinfection technique created by Mr. Liszt is sufficient......"

"Mr. Dyer, I think time will tell if it makes sense."

“…… John, why can't you make a bigger incision if it's so small that it makes surgery extremely difficult? If you could double it, it would be easier to find your appendix and the surgery would be much faster, right? ”

"Professor Bergman, because a large incision increases the risk of infection in addition to increasing the trauma of the patient......"

"Mr. Huntelaar, can you elaborate on the instruments you used to perform the surgery?"

……

After the operation, John's office was bustling with activity like a vegetable market, and everyone couldn't wait to express their opinions about the operation, and even the editor Edward focused on the new surgical instruments used by John, looking forward to John's answer.

In less than ten minutes, John felt like his head was going to blow up!

If you just want to ask about the main points of appendectomy, John is actually very happy to respond, but what makes him helpless is that most of the questions asked by these people are questions!

The local anesthetic technique is John's originality, and almost no one understands it except for the surgeons at Charlotte Hospital, so no one will say anything, but Dell, for example, the two British surgeons, strongly questioned John's aseptic operation practices, thinking that they were too cumbersome, too costly, and not very meaningful. It seems that he was dissatisfied with John's two drastic improvements to Liszt's disinfection techniques......

All kinds of questions and questions poured in, and at the beginning John was enthusiastic to answer them one by one, but when the questions got deeper and deeper, and the content involved more and more, John was really a little overwhelmed.

To be honest, he's really tired right now.

Although it was only a simple appendicitis operation. And Mr. Miller's condition wasn't bad, but it wasn't the time of the future when John didn't have to worry about anything but surgery. In order to make today's operation go smoothly, John almost had to do everything himself, and all the qiē had to be done by himself. In order to make sure that all the qiē were ready, I worked hard until 11 o'clock in the evening last night, and at this time, after the operation was completed, my mood was relaxed, and my physical and mental exhaustion suddenly reached a peak!

So at least for now, John really doesn't have the mood to rub shoulders with these "laymen", let alone talk about everyone's problems for an hour. I'm afraid he won't be able to answer it even in a day or a week!

And......

John was still concerned about the situation in the hospital room, he was worried that Thomas and the others, who had only theoretical training, would not be able to deal with the first patient after appendectomy, and for a "new" operation, postoperative observation would be extremely important, and John really didn't have much time to waste here.

"Gentlemen, please be quiet!"

After answering various questions for nearly ten minutes, John finally got a little impatient, frowned and said, "Since everyone has such and such questions. Why don't we wait for Mr. Miller's final recovery to be determined? ”

John was a little tired of the skepticism of others.

There is no evidence and no number jù. You can't even deny the efforts of others with just one mouth without any theoretical basis?

"Hehe, it looks like Mr. Huntelaar is very confident."

Smiling slightly, Professor Wolfgang said lightly.

As an internist, Wolfgang's attitude can be said to be the most detached, so although he was quite shocked by John's operation. But the attitude of the individual has always been from the perspective of a bystander.

"Confidence is naturally there, but one patient is too little."

When John said this, he paused slightly, raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Even if Mr. Miller recovers his health, I think the number of at least 10 surgical cases will be more convincing!" Why don't you wait until that time to question my ideas? If most of the patients eventually recover their health, then I will be right. If, like other surgeons, my success rate is so low, then you can question me and deny my theories......"

"...... Uproar"

After hearing John's words, there was an uproar in the room.

What an arrogant tone!

Looking at John's natural look, the two British surgeons felt a little uncomfortable, but as John said, what could they say when they didn't have credentials? And the process of that operation just now has fully demonstrated John's strength as a surgeon, which cannot be erased.

John has always believed in one thing, and that is that the facts can prove it.

Aren't you questioning whether these sterility protocols are necessary for me? Didn't you nitpick and say that the surgery was too slow? Then let's look at the effect of the final surgery and see if the patient's condition is good!

What could be more telling than this?

"There's no problem with this!"

The first to say something about John's advice was Wolfgang, a professor of internal medicine, who pondered for a moment and then nodded: "We can observe for three days, and if Mr. Miller recovers well after three days, I can send more patients with acute abdomen to Mr. Huntelaar, and there will be no problem with one per day!" ”

The professor of internal medicine was becoming more and more interested in John's surgery.

Acute abdomen was a serious headache for the physicians of this era, with a high mortality rate, and they were basically unable to do anything other than prescribe some yapian and perform simple phlebotomy. But John's surgery today gave Wolfgang another way to solve the problem.

And as the largest hospital in Berlin, Charlotte Hospital is never short of patients. Moreover, acute abdomen is the most common and frequent disease in surgery, and Wolfgang is full of confidence in saying this.

"Thank you so much, Professor Wolfgang!"

After hearing the words of the professor of internal medicine, John's heart suddenly rejoiced. For him, in addition to worrying about the risk of infection caused by the absence of antibiotics, the main concern is the source of the disease. At least in this era of very backward information, even if the effect of the operation is good, he can't think of making his "business" prosperous in a short time, and he needs Professor Wolfgang's support very much!

After listening to the conversation between the two, everyone also fell silent.

That's right, today they saw a wonderful and subversive operation, and their hearts were greatly shaken for a while, but the effect of the operation still needs time to test. But subconsciously, no one seems to think that John will fail: look at the process and results of the operation, Mr. Miller, who has been awake, can even talk and smile easily after the operation, doesn't that explain a thing?

"So, how about this today?"

Seeing everyone's thoughtful looks, John secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile: "Just like Professor Wolfgang said, give me three days, if Mr. Miller is in a stable condition after three days, we can have a good chat on the weekend......"

For appendectomy, you should be able to see results in three days.

When he said this, John blinked his eyes and smiled: "And it's more troublesome to say, in fact, whether it is a complete surgical aseptic technique, a local anesthetic technique, or the diagnosis and surgical treatment of acute appendicitis, I have written very detailed and complete materials, and I think it is enough to publish a book." If we can complete more than five appendectomy in the next short period of time, and the patients are in good condition, I will bring them out and give you a review......"

In the 21st century, the effectiveness of a new procedure certainly cannot be explained by just five cases, but in Europe at the end of the 19th century, even one successful case was enough for doctors to wait to publish it.
