CHAPTER XVI
Leaving the clinic or operating table in the morning and writing in the office in the afternoon is a regular schedule for John every Tuesday and Thursday. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although there are more and more things on his body now, he has never forgotten his identity as a doctor, so no matter how busy he is, as long as he is in New York, he must be free to hand over to the hospital in the past two days.
Of the remaining five days, one day is left to be handed over to the medical school.
With dozens of textbooks more than a hundred years in his head, John can be a great player in almost every field, but he has always been careful to control it, and he has not dared to interfere too much with the research process of the professors. In addition to not wanting to be too "monster", but also because the development of any discipline is based on the accumulation of countless people for a long time, many times it is not necessarily a good thing to pull out seedlings and help them grow.
Laying a good foundation is more important than anything else.
The four-hour clinic in the morning did not make John feel tired, and after lunch, he habitually returned to his office, ready to take a short break and write something. It was John's habit over the years, reading medical journals from all over the world on the day of surgery, summarizing them, comparing them with what he remembered, and then writing them down on the day he left the clinic - not only a summary of the papers, but also his thoughts. These ideas will become an important reference for the professors of Heinz Medical College.
To put it bluntly, this is one of John's ways of hanging up.
Of course, he could speed things up if he came entirely on his own, but that would do him no good other than make others see him as a monster. But if you just summarize the current medical developments and put forward some "fanciful" ideas, it is much easier for people to accept......
……
"Gotta get it!"
"Today's clinic went well, right?"
With a soft knock on the door, Thomas pushed the door open and walked in, smiling and asking.
"Of course it went well!"
Shrugging his shoulders and standing up, John smiled while pouring water for Thomas: "Today's luck is very good, they are all patients with ordinary trauma, just treat them a little...... What about you? Busy today? “
"Hehe, I'm not as idle as you."
Shaking his head, Thomas couldn't help but smile wryly.
As the director of Heinz General Hospital, Thomas naturally has a lot of things to do every day, and he has to meddle in all the big and small affairs of hospital management. As a surgeon, he is reluctant to lose his profession, and he has to go out for outpatient clinics and surgeries every week, which is really a bit earth-shaking when he is busy.
But for this kind of day, Thomas himself is also willing.
Watching the hospital go from empty to thriving, Thomas has put all his heart and soul into it, and he is willing to work hard. So after a brief complaint, Thomas immediately smiled and said, "John, I just received a letter inviting you to a meeting of the Society of Surgeons...... Don't plan to go this year? ”
"Well, not going."
Waving his hand, John said casually, "As I said, I'm not interested in this kind of loose association of surgeons. ”
"Okay."
Having already guessed John's reaction, Thomas was not surprised at all, and immediately nodded. In fact, John has been declining this invitation all these years, and for the development of Heinz General Hospital, it has always been Thomas who participated. He knew that John wanted to organize a society of surgeons according to his own heart, even if it was limited to New York City, but there were so many people involved in this kind of thing, and after a few years of hard work, he only saw a little hope until now......
"Gotcha! Get! ”
Thomas was about to talk to John about the hospital when there was a knock on the door again.
Lily, the secretary, looked a little uneasy when she walked in, which made John's brow furrow. He didn't like this young girl very much, because since he became his secretary, he seemed to be trembling every day, as if he was a big demon king. In contrast, John still likes the previous one, but unfortunately although more and more women have come out to work over the years, most of them will choose to return to the family after marriage, and there are very few who continue to work after marriage.
Seeing the envelope in the secretary's hand, John tried his best to make his expression kinder, and said with a smile: "What? Another letter from an old friend? ”
"Yes, sir."
Perhaps because of John's mild tone, Miss Lily steady, "Sir, I have just received two letters from England, one from your old friend Mr. Conan Doyle, and the other from the Royal Society, so ...... I've sent it to you in a hurry! ”
"Oh?"
John's eyebrows furrowed, and he got up to take the two letters from his secretary's hand.
Conan Doyle's letter did not surprise him, because the friendship between the two continued, Conan Doyle would send John every new novel he had, and John would continue to provide the other party with the latest forensic science research - it should be said here that the forensic science of the Heinz School of Medicine, with John's support and Conan Doyle's publicity, is now famous all over the world.
Conan Doyle and John? Huntelaar's friendship, which was also widely known for the Sherlock Holmes novels, also brought John a lot of benefits.
Ever since the United States passed a bill a few years ago to protect the copyrights of foreigners, John began to call the Sherlock Holmes collection in North America. At 99 cents a book, novels that are far higher than the price of pirated books have received a lot of popularity. This set of novels alone can bring John tens of thousands of dollars a year, and at the same time promote the healthy development of Heinz Press.
Thomas was naturally one of the insiders, and as one of the loyal readers of the Sherlock Holmes detective collection, he waited for the secretary to leave and immediately came over and said eagerly: "John, is it the new episode of Sherlock Holmes?" Can you let me see it after you've finished reading it? Otherwise, it would be too difficult to wait for the official publication of the book! ”
As John's closest friend, Thomas was also well aware of who owned Holmes' North American rights.
Heinz began publishing Sherlock Holmes novels three years ago, only about a month later than in London. The 99-cent (a very high price tag for this day and age) novels were so popular with Americans that almost every single one of them sold tens of thousands of copies! On the one hand, of course, this is because of the charm of Sherlock Holmes itself, and on the other hand, it is also related to the habit of Americans to follow the style of London. It's strange that the Americans will always hate the British, but in all areas they follow the world hegemon......
"Haha, you can watch it first, just give it to me when you're done!"
John, who understood Thomas's expectation, smiled and handed him the open envelope.
It was really the latest issue of the novel, but because he had discussed the plot with Conan Doyle through letters before, John's sense of anticipation was not so strong, so he simply let Thomas read it first.
Ignoring the elated Thomas, John's eyes were fixed on the second letter.
Conan Doyle's letter was not strange, but the letter from the Royal Society made him a little puzzled. In London, he was familiar with Professor Liszt and the Society of Physicians, the Royal Society, which was a big but ......
Shaking his brow, John opened the letter in his hand.
And then......
After reading the thin two pages of the letter at a glance, John's face gradually flushed with joy, until at last the corners of his mouth grinned happily. (To be continued.) )
