A book?
This guy just said he wrote a book?
Although John did not make a clear statement, and his tone was vague, who still didn't understand after listening to his words? This kid is going to bring these things together and publish a book!
"I see!"
After being stunned for two or three seconds, Hines, the editor of German Medicine, suddenly realized.
He finally understood why Mr. Huntelaar had invited the editor of The Lancet to Berlin: as a medical journal, The Lancet might not have attracted John as much as German Medicine, since Germany was now the leader in medicine, and Berlin had an incomparable geographical advantage. But what if you take into account the Elsevier behind The Lancet?
Young Edward couldn't figure it out, but how could Hines not understand?
"This kid is so ambitious!"
After figuring this out, Hines's brow suddenly furrowed.
Europe at the end of the 19th century was not the era of the flood of academic books in later generations, because of the high cost of printing, the narrow audience, and the influence of economic factors, basically only the most influential scientists were qualified to publish books.
But......
If you put together the most detailed and standardized surgical sterile sterilization technology ever created, enough to open up a new field of local anesthesia technology, and appendectomy that is bound to cause a sensation in the surgical world if successful, who would dare to say that it is not attractive if it is brought together in one book?
"Definitely!"
Although he was dissatisfied with John because of what happened in the operating room just now, he was out of his own professional knowledge. Without any hesitation, Hines had already given his conclusion.
Surgical disinfection is attracting the attention of more and more surgeons, and will be popularized throughout Europe in the next one or two decades, and local anesthesia technology is enough to subvert surgeons' perception of anesthesia.
If it turns out that the effect of John's technique is true, the speed of popularization and promotion will definitely exceed everyone's imagination!
In such cases. If John really wanted to publish a book, Hines thought it would be worth it, even if it cost him a fortune. As a senior medical editor, Hines naturally saw the development prospects of these new ideas, and he didn't know how many new papers would be derived in the future, and with local anesthesia alone, this Mr. John Huntelaar became famous since then It was already a doomed thing, and now when will he not make friends?
"Mr. Huntelaar."
Hines did not hesitate at this time, and asked enthusiastically: "German Medicine is very much looking forward to your information. We'd love to get it published! Of course, if you agree, we would also like to include a catalogue of the surgical instruments you designed at the end of the book, so that it will be more complete......"
"We in The Lancet share this interest!"
As soon as he heard Hines's words, Edward suddenly became a little anxious. Although he didn't understand many things like the experienced Hines, after seeing today's operation, Edward also understood the value of the information John said, and naturally he couldn't let go of this opportunity.
Listen to the scramble between the two editors. The others were speechless.
Both Bergman and Wolfgang looked at John with complicated eyes at this point. Although after the operation, they were extremely shocked. I also think that this kid's work is enough to attract the attention of surgeons all over the world, but ......
Not a thesis, but a monograph?
"For a young surgeon, that's too big, isn't it?"
Bergman frowned, not very optimistic about publishing a book.
The publication of a monograph requires a physician to have a great reputation, for now. John hasn't reached that level yet. At least he wasn't at that level until his theory of surgical sterilization, local anesthesia techniques, and appendectomy were widely disseminated. Think of Liszt, who only began to bear fruit after ten years of promoting surgical disinfection, and only gained widespread recognition twenty years later, but now he is close to becoming a grandmaster. There is still no shortage of naysayers......
In Bergman's view, John was still too early.
John, of course, could not hear what Professor Bergman was thinking, and he smiled at the two eager editors: "Gentlemen, although there is a lot of content, I have no intention of publishing a book for the time being...... Of course, the dissertation will definitely be written, and it should be written soon, and I will definitely continue to work with the two of you when the time comes. ”
"Or a thesis?"
After everyone was slightly stunned, Bergman secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, while Edward and Hines looked at each other at the same time, and the fire splashed under their eyes!
If it's a paper, the two journals still have to compete with each other.
The advantage of The Lancet is that it has worked with Johann many times and has a relatively good relationship, while German Medicine is based in Berlin and has supporters like Professor Bergmann, so both sides can be said to have their own advantages.
However, John was not interested in what happened between the two.
Publishing papers is certain, and this is the best way for him to increase his prestige. However, before leaving Europe, John did plan to publish a book or two, such as surgical sterile disinfection techniques and local anesthesia techniques, so he inadvertently slipped out of his mouth just now. In fact, taking advantage of the time of half a year of preparation, John has almost completed the sorting of all the texts, as long as it takes a year or two to precipitate, and when these two technologies are thoroughly promoted, his reputation can be published, but it is indeed too early to publish a book, and John has no interest in making himself uncomfortable.
Of course, this is only temporary.
Anyone who looks at the things stored in John's mind will probably have no doubts about his future books, the only thing to consider is how many books he will publish in his life, at least in John's plan, Heinz anatomy, Heinz surgery, and Heinz anesthesiology will be left to future generations of physicians to memorize......
……
After getting rid of a bunch of irritating people. John immediately returned to his hospital room.
"Mr. Huntelaar!"
When she saw John come in, Mrs. Miller immediately stood up and exclaimed anxiously, "My husband has a little stomach ache at this time, please think of a way quickly......
"What?!"
When John heard this, he was shocked and rushed to Mr. Miller's bed!
Sure enough, there were some beads of sweat on the patient's forehead at this time, and there was also a look of pain on his face. I was shocked. John's somewhat annoyed gaze immediately looked at Thomas: Just now he clearly said that if there is any problem, look for him immediately, what is this guy doing?
Sensing John's anger, Thomas smiled helplessly: "Okay, Mrs. Miller, your husband doesn't have a stomachache, it's a wound, these are two completely different concepts, okay?" And I asked him just now, and he doesn't hurt very much......"
"The wound hurts?"
When he opened his mouth, John suddenly burst into tears and laughter.
If you calculate the time, the lidocaine injected before the operation has indeed been ineffective. The wound hurts, and it really should feel the pain. However, looking at Mr. Miller's expression, John felt that he should be more cautious, after all, with the current knife edge, it should not be so powerful.
After lowering his head and asking carefully, John could finally determine that this Mr. Miller's tolerance to pain was indeed slightly worse than that of ordinary people, but it must be that the wound was hurting, so he was relieved.
"Rest assured, Mrs. Miller."
After a slight groan, John smiled and said, "Your husband's condition seems to be fine. If the wound hurts, I can only ask Mr. Miller to bear with me, and it is estimated that it will be relieved a lot tomorrow. ”
As a physician. John could actually understand Mrs. Miller's mood at this time.
A few days ago, they thought that an open stomach was a stroke of luck that there was no way to make, so even though the operation seemed to be successful, the Millers were still a bit like frightened birds, and the slightest discomfort was enough to make them tremble, and they had to get an affirmative answer from John before they could settle down.
But......
"It's a good feeling to be trusted!"
Looking at Mrs. Miller, who seemed to be relieved. John smiled and turned to Thomas: "Has it been okay since you came back?" ”
"Very good!"
With a smile, Thomas said excitedly: "The patient is very good in both physical condition and mental state, and it is normal!" ”
Slightly relieved, John nodded and said, "That's good, although the situation is better." But this is our first abdominal surgery, so I think the two of us will stay in the hospital tonight. ”
"No problem!"
After listening to John's words, Thomas agreed without hesitation.
Although he is only the first assistant today, after seeing the whole process of John's surgery recently, Thomas is quite excited at this time, because the whole operation process is really exactly the same as what John said before the operation! That is, John's theory is correct, and if Mr. Miller can recover smoothly next, they can almost be regarded as overcoming the pain in the right lower abdomen...... No, it should be said that it is a surgical treatment of acute appendicitis!
Oh, God!
This is an open surgery!
The thought of the open surgery that other surgeons in Europe feared was so easily overcome by himself and others, even if he could only play a supporting role in the process, but this pride in participation still made Thomas feel as if he was dreaming!
Seeing Thomas's excited appearance, John smiled, walked up to him, patted his shoulder and whispered: "Thomas, I'm afraid we will be very busy in the next period of time, are you ready?"
