Chapter VIII Disputes

In the auditorium of two or three hundred people, only John's voice existed.

His eyes scanned the attentive faces in the audience, and finally concluded: "Gentlemen, I firmly believe that in addition to being used to deal with the rupture of blood vessels caused by trauma, vascular anastomosis must have a broader application prospect because it can re-establish the blood supply: for example, if we can reconstruct blood vessels, we may be able to reconnect severed fingers, and it is even possible to provide replacement for the patient's failing organs, such as other people's organs......"

"What?"

When he heard this, Liszt's eyes instantly widened!

Like him, all the other surgeons, even Thomson and other scientists, were in an uproar in the auditorium. Almost as soon as John finished speaking, a young physician suddenly stood up and shouted, "What do you mean, Mr. Huntelaar...... Can Frankenstein really become a reality in the future? ”

Frankenstein was originally a fictional character created by Mary Shelley, the wife of English poet Shelley, and was recorded in the world's first real science fiction novel, Frankenstein. A scientist pieced together a human body from a dead man and brought it to life using lightning and lightning. This "monster" who was supposed to be in this world ended up killing the scientist's fiancΓ©e, and eventually died with both the scientist......

Thanks to the rise of science fiction in the 19th century, many people have heard of Frankenstein's name.

"No, no, of course it can't be!"

Shaking his head, John immediately responded loudly: "In my opinion, organs that have lost their vitality are meaningless, and it is impossible to come back to life, but ...... What if these organs didn't die? For example, if a person has just died or is already brain dead, it is likely that his internal organs are still alive. What if it were taken out and transplanted to another person, to someone whose organs had failed? Gentlemen, please think about it......"

"Boom!"

Before John's words were finished, the auditorium was completely lively, and the order in the auditorium was completely out of control, and many people stood up with excitement and shouted loudly.

"Mr. Huntelaar. Have you already completed the corresponding experiments? The result? β€œ

"This is impossible, sir, absolutely impossible!"

"Sir, what do you mean by brain death?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You are blaspheming God's dignity! ”

……

Most people reacted normally, and some were sensitive to his concept of brain death, but a few began to lash out at John's idea as blasphemy - for some, Liszt's surgical sterilization technique was a blasphemy against God, let alone John's idea at this time. Fortunately, it is not the Middle Ages after all. German universities even dared to remove theology from the curriculum, so these angry voices were quickly drowned out in a variety of issues.

Listening to these voices, John's head grew bigger.

For surgeons who are just starting to wear masks and gloves, the topic of organ transplantation is indeed too far ahead of its time, and most will think it is a fantasy. After all, a successful kidney transplant won't begin until 60 years later. However, John had long anticipated the possibility and was not in a hurry to do so, although the success of human transplantation was still far away, but if animal experiments were enough to verify this possibility. It won't take long for the surgeons to realize the truth of these words.

But......

"Damn. How did I say the words brain dead? ”

Grinning, John felt a pang of chagrin in his heart. He just said the concept of brain death casually, which was not a planned thing. You know, Harvard University would not come up with this concept until eighty years later, and even in that era it caused great controversy. John never thought of challenging it now!

Fortunately, most people's attention is focused on organ transplantation, and not much attention is paid to brain death.

But even then John had a headache, and soon pressed his hands and shouted, "Gentlemen, gentlemen, please be quiet! ”

After a lot of effort. There was finally silence in the auditorium.

"Sorry, gentlemen!"

After taking a deep breath, John continued, "I know you must have a lot of questions on your mind, but unfortunately we have limited time today, and about the theories just mentioned...... They're still just theories, and I haven't done the experiments, but we can talk about them later if you're interested, but for now...... Because of the time, we have to do the next part of the report! ”

"Buzz ......"

There was a commotion in the audience, and many people showed dissatisfaction on their faces.

Physicians who were more convinced of John and were interested in these theories were naturally dissatisfied, and they wanted John to answer their doubts, even if it was just for some discussion. Those who disagreed with John's ideas were of course even more dissatisfied, and they preferred to debate the other party directly in the auditorium and criticize the ridiculous idea.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the auditorium was getting out of control, Liszt stood up for the first time: "Gentlemen, please be quiet! ”

After all, it was the British native bull, and the prestige that Liszt had accumulated over the decades was not comparable to that of John, and the auditorium soon fell silent again. A look of satisfaction flashed in Liszt's eyes, and then he said loudly: "Gentlemen, as a gentleman of England, please give Mr. Huntelaar the respect he deserves!" Now let's take a fifteen-minute break, and after fifteen minutes, we will continue today's talk! ”

"Thank you, Professor!"

After getting off the podium, John immediately came to Professor Liszt's side. On the one hand, it is natural to thank the other party for their help, on the other hand, many people did not go to the bathroom or rest, but looked at John with fierce eyes, and they could come forward to argue with him at any time.

Liszt also understood, and immediately walked out of the auditorium with John.

However, as soon as he walked to a place where there were few people, Professor Liszt immediately said: "John, you have sufficient evidence of vascular anastomosis, and you have also cured patients with this technique, I think it should not be a problem for everyone to accept it." And the organ transplant or something I said afterwards was also clearly said to be a possibility, even if everyone questioned it, it was nothing, but the next ......"

"I see what you mean!"

After taking a deep breath, John said with a solemn face: "I know that the next content does not have enough evidence, and it will definitely cause widespread controversy, and even many people will criticize it!" But...... Professor, I firmly believe that my theory must be correct! ”

"Whew...... I understand. ”

Seeing John's determined look, Liszt exhaled softly and said nothing more.

As for what John was going to talk about next, Liszt was not an expert, but he was not a pure layman, so he knew that it would definitely cause a huge wave. But Liszt had already seen too many miracles about the young man in front of him, so this time he also wanted to see him again...... (To be continued.) )
