"Is eight papers a lot?"

Seeing that Edward and Hines looked like they had seen a ghost, John couldn't help but pout slightly, and looked down on these two editors a little.

Sure enough, the editors of the late 19th century had not yet grasped the essence of the water treatise!

In fact, scientists in the 19th century were too sincere, and their important research was always done in concise language and words as much as possible in a single paper, which would be a waste in the eyes of people in the 21st century!

No matter how big or small a research is, it's normal to make two or three papers, and it's not impossible to make a dozen, the key is to see how you do it! In John's memory, the big guy in the pathology department of his hospital once relied on a single study to produce sixteen papers, which shocked him......

Of course, in the 19th century, there were actually physicians who could publish papers, such as Liszt, who published 400 articles in his lifetime, and John remembered that there were more than 800 articles, even if he counted according to the fifty years of his research career, the average number of papers a year was almost 20!

That's the absolute high yield.

When John decided to become a physician again, one of his goals was to break the record for the number of papers published in the medical profession and leave a monument that will never be surpassed by future generations!

Of course he has the confidence to do so.

If he had taken out all the things in his head, John wouldn't have to do anything every day, and even writing papers would have been enough for him to write for years!

And John's papers are not a quantitative thing, and it can be said that each one has a considerable value! For example, the eight papers he handed to the two of them this time, one of which is a supplement to aseptic disinfection technology, mainly disinfection before and after surgery and during the whole process, two are about the specific application of neuraxial anesthesia, one is about the set of surgical instruments, and four are about appendectomy - one is anatomy and pathology, one is diagnosis, one is the surgical process, and one is pre- and post-operative care......

Really dry goods!

The eight papers this time are different from the last ones. John really put a lot of thought into it, and each paper is accompanied by accurate sketches that emphasize the details of the content. It can be said that these eight papers are extremely practical, so after reading the details of the eight papers, the doubts on the faces of Edward and Hines disappeared, but the four eyes flashed at the same time something called "want"!

No doubt. They all want to get these eight papers.

"Gentlemen, you can get four for each of you!"

Before the two of them could speak, John had already spoken: "My personal advice is that four articles on appendectomy were published by German Medicine, and the other four were handed over to The Lancet, which happens to be related to the last paper. What do you two think? ”

"This ......"

After listening to John's arrangement, the two of them hesitated at the same time.

Each of them wanted to take down the eight papers, but looking at John's attitude and looking at the expression of the man next to him, I am afraid it was really impossible. The Lancet is the basis for a collaboration with John. And it is naturally impossible for people to come to Berlin thousands of miles away to return empty-handed, but "German Medicine" has the advantage of geographical advantages and Bergmann's strong support, so no one is confident that they can kick the other party away.

Just when the two were hesitating, John had already made a decision for them, clapped his hands and smiled: "Since the two of you have no opinion, then make a decision......

……

In Berlin at the end of July and the beginning of August 1885, the weather was actually quite pleasant.

At least for John, it felt quite wrong. It's a little warmer in broad daylight, but overall it's not too hot. Without air conditioning, it doesn't seem to be that difficult.

Of course, this refers to when you don't go into the operating room.

Surgery has now become a time of dreading for him, Thomas and the others, because according to John's strict aseptic protocols, they must wear isolation gowns, hats, masks and gloves to complete the operation even in that small room that is absolutely impermeable. In order to achieve the purpose of sterility, they have to sweat several times after almost every operation, and they must replenish a lot of water in time.

So during this time, they were both miserable and happy.

After Mr. Miller was happily discharged from the hospital, Professor Wolfgang did exactly what he had promised. Within a week, John was sent four patients with pain in the right lower abdomen, all of whom were initially examined by him, and confirmed the tenderness or rebound tenderness of the McLean's point, and even the cases of abdominal muscle tension.

In fact, surgery as soon as possible without antibiotics is the only way to go.

Under the strong advice of Professor Wolfgang and the testimony of Mr. Miller, after careful consideration, two patients finally chose to believe in John and were hospitalized for surgery, but two others firmly refused. And these two people are still the most seriously ill, and in John's opinion, there is already an abscess or perforation!

There was some regret, but John couldn't do anything about it.

The fear of disembowelment is taken for granted in this era, and even though John has had successful examples, and made it clear that the prognosis would be very bad if they did not undergo surgery, the two men still firmly chose conservative treatment methods such as yapian and bloodletting. On the one hand, it was naturally because of the fear of surgery, and on the other hand, the cost of the operation was as high as 500 marks, and even after John took the initiative to reduce the cost of 200 marks, they still couldn't afford such a high price!

This result made John secretly rejoice that he was lucky, Mr. Miller was his first patient, but the middle-aged man bravely took the knife and gave himself a good start.

The cost of surgery John really can't think of it.

It is impossible for him to give free treatment to patients, even if his net worth is enough to support the surgeries of hundreds of patients a year. You know, the number of cases of acute appendicitis in Berlin alone is not less than 1,000 per year!

Perhaps the cost of the entire operation can be reduced by at least half when the cost of the two local anesthetics can be mass-produced, sterilized, and consumables, but at that time, it is almost impossible to save the discount given by John. After all, if you want to develop surgery, it is necessary for doctors to earn enough income, and John cannot go against this principle......

Luckily, both surgeries went unusually smoothly.

The patient's recovery after surgery was also very good, and there was no infection that John had been worried about, which greatly increased everyone's confidence in him! If there is only one case, some people may not be at ease, but the words of three patients are enough to make everyone understand one thing: John has succeeded completely!

After the first dressing change for the third patient, Chuck? Dale immediately wrote to Liszt asking for an extension of their stay in Berlin, because they had to learn appendectomy in addition to the full set of aseptic sterilization techniques, and John explicitly agreed that they could do one or two in person when the time was right - under John's direct supervision, of course!

Although they have not yet received a reply, both of them believe that Liszt will never refuse!

Joseph? Although Liszt has not made much achievements in other fields in his life, his dedication to aseptic disinfection technology is unimaginable to outsiders, but John's appendectomy is based on strict disinfection technology, which alone is enough to make Liszt moved!

Before the two British physicians made their decision, Hines, the editor of German Medicine, had good news for John: two of his four papers on appendicitis would be published in August, and the other two in early September. The order is, of course, anatomy, pathology, and diagnosis first, followed by the surgical process and pre- and post-operative care, and after some arguments with the editor-in-chief, he finally agreed to John's seemingly novel request: the two issues of the journal in which the paper was published must be accompanied by a short paragraph of John's statement......

The only one who was more depressed was Edward of The Lancet.

Seeing that the German Medicine was so efficiently preparing to publish Mr. Huntelaar's papers, he was naturally anxious, and wanted to rush back to London to hand over the other four papers to the editor-in-chief, after all, several papers published by John had slowly fermented with the passage of time, and had gradually become a hot topic before Edward came to Berlin. Now these four papers in Edward's hand are obviously a continuation of the previous ones, and if there is an example of appendectomy as a verification, it will definitely cause greater repercussions!

But until at least August 15, he had no choice but to stay in Berlin and send the papers back to London by post.

Because the ticket John booked for him was August 15th.

Edward was a little strange about this, because he had never thought that he would stay in Berlin for so long, and what was even more strange was the attitude of Mr. Huntelaar, who did not seem to want him to leave as soon as possible, and always wanted to stay a little longer, consciously or unconsciously. The only thing that made him happy was that almost all of the expenses in Berlin were taken care of by Mr. Huntelaar, so Edward had no choice but to stay and wait without spending his own money.

Vaguely, Edward had a strange feeling.

He always felt that he had been invited to Berlin not only because Mr. Huntelaar wanted to show the Lancet his aseptic technique or appendectomy, but because he had other reasons, and that the reason was probably because of himself...... (To be continued......)
