Chapter 42: The Slide of 1888

"Huh? What is this? ”

In the auditorium of the University of Berlin, hundreds of participants exchanged heads and ears in the audience, their faces full of curiosity.

After a round of applause, John? Mr. Huntelaar did not start his speech immediately, but took a few things out of the cardboard box and got busy on the stage. He first took out a few ropes, then hung them on the stage with the help of a young man, and finally took out a roll of white paper from the big box!

Each piece of white paper is more than two meters high and three meters wide when spread out!

Stacking all the blank papers together, Mr. Huntelaar hung them on the rope he had just had. So after five minutes, everyone in the audience saw a strange sight: a stack of white paper hanging vertically appeared on the podium, like a smaller blackboard.

It took five minutes for John to stand on the podium, facing the crowd.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen."

Bowing slightly, John said with a smile on his face: "This afternoon is the last hour of this meeting, I am honored to have the opportunity to communicate with you in this meeting, and thank you very much for coming to listen to my report, thank you!" ”

"Whoa......

This time, the applause from the audience was much warmer than just now.

Almost everyone looked curiously at the blank paper hanging on the stage, and in the not too bright light, everyone clearly saw a few lines of large words on the first page of white paper: John? Huntelaar, Charlotte Hospital of the University of Berlin, Heinz General Hospital, New York.

After a pause in applause, John looked at the audience and said aloud: "Gentlemen, everyone knows that I am a surgeon, but today, I am not going to talk only about the field of surgery, but I am going to take out all my research in the last two years and talk about it......"

"Huh? What does this kid want to do? ”

At the same time, there was a slight commotion in the audience. Koch and the others couldn't help frowning.

But no one would speak at this time, so John turned his head and gestured to the young man, who hurriedly turned a page of blank paper with a long bamboo pole.

After a bang, the second page appeared.

With a "buzz", there was another commotion under the podium. At this point, everyone finally understood what Mr. Huntelaar meant, and he just wrote down all the content of today's speech on paper. Then show it to everyone. This novel idea made everyone feel very fresh, so the people in the audience immediately began to talk to each other and exchange their thoughts with each other.

"Uh......"

Looking at the chaos in the audience, John was suddenly a little speechless.

The stuff he's made today may be new to all of you, but anyone a hundred years later will probably understand that it's just an 1888 slide! John was certainly not willing to bother if he could, but unfortunately there were no primitive film projectors in this era, so he had to use this most primitive means. Today's presentation will contain a lot of things that need to be visualized. For example, the anatomical diagram, such as the technical explode diagram, etc., is really unconvincing with the mouth, so I can only spend time and effort to make these more than 20 "slides".

"Ahem! Ahem! ”

After waiting for a moment, John coughed vigorously twice, and then said loudly, "Everyone, my academic report is about to begin, can you please be quiet?" Thank you. Thank you! ”

The speaker spoke, and the audience fell silent.

But what made John a little helpless. Although the voices were quiet, the interest in the ultra-crude version of the slides was noticeably undamned, and even Koch and FΓΌrchaux were whispering in the audience, as if this novelty was more important than the content of John's report......

"Gentlemen, what I want to talk about today is mainly divided into five aspects!"

Taking a deep breath, John began today's speech loudly: "The first item. It is about blood groups and blood transfusion techniques that caused a lot of controversy some time ago; The second is about the vitamin theory that I published not long ago. The third is the latest research findings on surgical disinfection, local anesthesia and appendectomy......"

When he said this, the audience finally quieted down.

All three of these are the results of John's previous or recent publications, and have long been noticed. Therefore, it is not surprising to everyone. To be honest, everyone doesn't have too many ideas about John's content about surgery, after all, these three areas are all pulled up by him, but there are many other two skeptics or opponents, and many people are here for these contents today. For example, the theory of blood group inheritance and the theory of vitamins, many people agree, but there are also many people who oppose it, they just plan to argue with John in the speech, so that on the one hand, they can express their own opinions, and on the other hand, they can also attract the attention of the bigwigs present, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

But......

"The fourth content is the technical specification scheme for the basic operation of surgery; The fifth content is related to the first aid technique of patients in critical situations......"

When John said the last two things, the audience burst into a bang!

Of the more than 160 people in the audience, except for Professor Bergman, who had just seen the pamphlet, almost all of them were wide-eyed!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What is the technical specification scheme for basic surgical operations? What's that? ”

"I don't understand...... Do surgical techniques still need to be standardized? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ God, does he want all the surgeons to operate according to his plan? ”

……

Some people have a lot of discussion about the basic surgical operation technical specification scheme mentioned by John, and it is difficult for them to understand why surgery should be standardized. Because surgeons have always taught techniques by hand, each with its own characteristics, it is only in recent years that relevant courses have been offered in universities, but basically they are all the same school, and no one has ever thought about standardizing anything.

Others, on the other hand, have set their sights on the fifth item.

"Critical situation? Is the above critical situation? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It should mean when the patient is dying on the operating table, right? ”

"What about first aid? What does First Aid Technique mean? Is there a set of techniques specifically designed to save patients? ”

……

John's words made the audience completely confused.

But this time John was not in a hurry on the stage, as if he was blind to the chaos in the audience, he stood there quietly with a smile on his face, did not continue his speech, and did not open his mouth to quiet the audience.

It was at this point that Professor Bergman finally understood.

He finally understood why John insisted on putting his time on the afternoon of the last day, and why he didn't worry about being able to finish so much in an hour and a half. This is because John knew very well in his heart that if he threw out all the content he was going to talk about at the beginning, it would inevitably arouse the curiosity of the crowd, and even if he did not finish it when the time came, I am afraid that they would strongly urge John to continue...... (To be continued......)
