CHAPTER XIX
"What's wrong?"
Sitting quietly beside John, Anna asked with concern: "As soon as I came back, I was in a daze with this telegram, is there something going on in the United States?" β
Smelling the faint fragrance of his fiancΓ©e's body between his nose, John's heart suddenly warmed, and he quickly smiled and nodded: "Well, it's a little thing, but it's a good thing, and it's a big good thing!" β
"A good thing?"
After listening to John's words, Anna was slightly stunned. Just now she saw John's brows furrowed, and her expression was a little strange, and she thought that the telegram said something troublesome, but she didn't expect it to be a good thing!
"Well, good thing!"
After taking a deep breath, John nodded heavily.
The telegram came from the future bull Ehrlich, and it was very simple: they had found a way to purify the diphtheria antitoxin!
When he first saw this telegram, John was indeed taken aback.
Who first started the study of antitoxin serums in history, in fact, it is impossible to know exactly, Robert? Koch extracted tuberculin, but it turned out to be a good helper for diagnosis, but it did not have much effect on treatment. Lu and Yesin studied earlier, but in the end it was Behring who gained fame and fortune...... One thing is certain, however, that this new treatment was not born so easily, and it took a long time for Behrin and Kitasato Shibazaburo to succeed, especially with the help of Ehrlich.
But now......
Calculating the time, John found that it was only a short period of three months from the time he proposed a plan to Ehrlich to the other party found a way to purify, such a huge contrast made him who was familiar with history a little unacceptable for a while, so he naturally sat on the sofa and was stunned for a while.
"How many times do you have to remind yourself not to underestimate this era?"
Put away the telegram in your hand. John sighed secretly.
From the invention of Aurora to the purification of diphtheria antitoxin serum, John has made the same mistake several times. Most of the time, he only sees the backwardness of this era, the backwardness of technology and theoretical systems, but he forgets the influence caused by himself as a time-traveler: not to mention the idea of early qualification, that is, the research funds and equipment that John provided to these people are far from comparable to the same period in history. Adequate funding and assistance from researchers, traversers. There are also big bulls like Carl Benz and Erlich, so what's impossible to be faster?
After admonishing himself again, John relaxed, turned his head and smiled, "Anna, this telegram is indeed very important, I need to reply immediately...... By the way, is Mr. Brister back? β
"Dad? Well, it's back. β
Blinking a pair of big watery eyes, Anna was extremely curious at this time.
But she didn't wait for Anna to ask anything. John patted her little hand and smiled and asked, "Anna, I remember that your family used to be in the timber business, right?" So apart from timber, have you ever run a ranch or something? β¦β¦β
β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦ The lamb chops were great! β
Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, John smiled at Mrs. Brister with satisfaction: "I'm glad I didn't choose to stay in the hotel in the end, your cooking is really amazing." β
John's words made his future mother-in-law flutter at once, and if it weren't for the maid coming in to the dining-room and saying that there was a guest looking for Mr. Huntelaar, Mrs. Brister would probably be the same as usual. Pulling her son-in-law to nag for a long time, because she had just discovered that John was much more understanding than her husband......
"You look a little haggard. Howard. β
After sitting down on the couch, John asked with concern, "Isn't everything going well in Berlin?" Belch...... I mean, is there anything I can help with? β
Across from him, Howard? Kelly's face was indeed a little ugly.
After a moment's hesitation, Kelly spoke in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Huntelaar, I told you before. I've read almost all of your papers before, right? β
"Well, yes."
John's eyebrows furrowed, and he nodded a little puzzled.
The reason why Kelly and Osler were able to join so easily in the first place was in addition to the conditions of Heinz General Hospital. John's own excellence is also one of the most important reasons, after all, it is very attractive for these medical scientists to be able to work with better doctors. It's just that Kelly suddenly mentioned this matter at this time, which made John a little confused for a while.
"I've always been very interested in one of them."
After taking a deep breath, Howard? Kelly said in a deep voice, "I used to think about whether to try it or not, but what happened yesterday finally made me make up my mind......"
"Yesterday...... What's going on? β
John's expression also became solemn, and he asked in a deep voice.
A little bit, Howard? Kelly sighed and said, "Yesterday afternoon, a woman left this world with her child, and the cause of death was ...... Excessive blood loss! β
ββ¦β¦β
After listening to Kelly's explanation, John fell silent.
has been a physician for two lifetimes, although he is engaged in general surgery, but John has seen a lot of dead people, even if they die on the operating table. But hear Howard? Kelly's words, he still habitually tightened his heart, and he felt uncomfortable for a while. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the natural laws of human beings, but the situation of maternal hemorrhage is probably one of the most unacceptable causes of death.
After a moment of silence, John sighed softly and said, "The paper you said is about blood transfusion, right?" β
"Yes, sir."
Nodding, Howard? Kelly said: "I know you invented the blood type, and you think that if different people transfuse blood to each other, they must have the same blood type......
"No, no, it's not just blood type alignment."
Shaking his head, John patiently explained: "And it is necessary to conduct a test before the blood transfusion to make sure that there is no agglutination reaction...... Howard, you want to study blood transfusions between human bodies? β
"Yes, sir."
Eyes glued to John, Howard? Kelly nodded very seriously.
"Hehe, very good."
Feeling Kelly's sincerity, John smiled slightly: "I have the same idea, if you are interested, we can start the first cooperation......"
β¦β¦
I'm sorry it's late today, and it's only a little bit, so I really don't have time.
This weekend will probably be a daily shift, and I'll try to code as many words as I can. (To be continued......)
