Chapter 37: Caring or Not Careing

Berlin, end of October 1892.

In the chapel of Charlotte Hospital, Surgeon Luca gave a report on an operation. This report attracted the attention of the physicians, because the site of the operation was very special, and it was in the heart, a forbidden place for surgeons!

In this day and age, this report certainly caused quite a stir.

Luca was naturally in the spotlight, but more interested than the reporter Luca was the surgeon who performed the operation, the John ? Mr. Huntelaar. It is a pity that Mr. Huntelaar did not come to this report, much to the regret of many people who were looking forward to meeting him......

"John, don't you really feel sorry?"

Seeing that John was washing his hands indifferently, Professor Burgman asked with interest. The two had just worked together on an operation, and Bergman was thinking about the presentation in the small auditorium, but John didn't seem to care.

"Regret what?"

Raising his eyebrows, John smiled slightly.

Seeing John's expression, Bergman couldn't help but shake his head and said, "If the operation fails, it's fine, but that ...... Oh, Mr. Hunter has been cured and discharged from the hospital, which shows that your surgery was a great success, why not tell the other doctors about it yourself? Although Lukka was also involved in the operation, it was far from convincing. ”

"Hehe, it's just an operation."

Wiping his hands, John replied nonchalantly.

Some doctors may be happy about this heart surgery, but John knows very well that many more will just disagree. Historically, after the same heart surgery was reported at a medical conference, the vast majority of surgeons did not change their opinions, and a few physicians tried to reproduce the operation, but in the end they all failed, so that the germ of cardiac surgery continued to sink.

Technology that transcends the times has no foundation after all.

In this era when modern surgery was just in its infancy, a difficult operation like the heart was only a flash in the pan after all, and even John could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, purely by luck. At that time, the patient's condition was simple, his physical condition was excellent enough, coupled with luck and the action of John the Traveler, he succeeded in such a time, if he really thought that the curtain of cardiac surgery could be opened, it would be too naïve! So not only was Johann not interested in attending the briefing in the hospital, but he was not going to report on the operation at the annual meeting of German physicians in early November.

“…… All right. ”

John's calmness disappointed Bergman slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh. The guy in front of him was one of Bergman's most proud students, and if it were only about personal achievement, John would have surpassed Bergman himself, but for some reason, in Bergman's eyes, this student always looked unpassionate—or in other words, too rational!

If you were an ordinary person, what would be the reaction after completing this surgery?

Just look at Luca himself, before the patient was cured and discharged from the hospital, Luca couldn't wait to write a paper, add John's name and submit it to the German medical journal, and the excitement was like knocking the medicine. But looking at the real "initiator" of this operation, Johan really didn't care about this operation from beginning to end, as he said that day, and next month's annual meeting of German doctors, Johan even handed over the report of this operation to Luca. It's just that when I was discussing the content of Heinz surgery with Professor Bergman, I added more than a page of content to it......

"Professor, do you have time tomorrow night?"

After tidying up, John suddenly asked with a smile.

"Tomorrow night?"

Bergman's expression was slightly surprised, and he smiled and asked rhetorically, "What?" What's the matter? ”

Shrugging his shoulders, John smiled, "It's not that I have something, it's that Professor Koch and Mr. Ehrlich have come back from Hamburg and want to invite me to dinner with you." ”

"Oh? They're finally back! ”

When he heard the names of these two men, Professor Bergman's eyes lit up. If we want to select the most famous names in European medicine in 1892, in addition to the guest appearance of physicist Johan, we must talk about Koch and Ehrlich. They spent half a year in Hamburg and have been working hard to control the cholera epidemic, which has attracted the attention of doctors all over Europe. So far, more than 4,000 people have died in Hamburg in this cholera epidemic, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that without the efforts of the likes of Koch and Ehrlich, the number of deaths would have at least doubled!

But......

Looking at the indifferent John, Professor Bergman couldn't help but sigh again.

Speaking of the cholera epidemic in Hamburg, if you talk about the biggest contributor, there is no doubt that this guy is in front of you. Even Koch has repeatedly emphasized in public that John? Huntelaar's theory of infectious disease prevention and control is the key to controlling the cholera outbreak, and rehydration and sulfonamides are the tools to treat those who are infected. It can be said that it was John's speech in London and his efforts in Hamburg that made the cholera epidemic far less harmful than people expected.

But for this great credit, John is still calm.

It was understandable to leave Burgburg early because it was a place of right and wrong, and there really wasn't a need for John to stay there forever. But then it was like it didn't matter at all, like the original two physics papers, and John didn't bother anymore, which made Bergman a little hard to understand.

Is this guy really indifferent to fame and fortune, or is he afraid of trouble?

"Professor, what do you want?"

After packing up his things, John was about to go out when he turned around and saw Professor Bergman with a pensive face, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Oh, nothing."

Awakened by John's words, Bergman hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You go first, I'll clean up a bit...... By the way, let's have dinner later? ”

"Good! I'm waiting for you in the office! ”

Smiling, John nodded. He liked his teacher very much, and he usually had a meal with Professor Bergman once a week, but he was used to it.

"Forget it, what is the **** doing with this heart?"

Looking at John, who was leaving briskly, Bergman couldn't help but smile dumbly. Whether it's really indifferent to fame and fortune, or like he thinks he's afraid of trouble, why do you bother so much? Besides, with John's current fame and family business, is it really necessary to care about those things?

……

Sorry, these two weeks are the busiest time, and I have to run six or seven cities in the next week, almost on the road, talking things in the office, and I can only see if there is a time code word to go back to the hotel in the evening.

I can't update this year, so I'm sorry.

But just like the previous books, the update is good or bad, but not too much is the most basic, everyone rest assured. (To be continued.) )
