Chapter 15 Relationships
The next morning, Professor Bergman arrived at the hospital early.
"I didn't see any patients or guests this morning."
As soon as he arrived at his office, Bergman called his assistant over: "Also, if John? Mr. Huntelaar came...... Well, it's about ten o'clock, so I'll invite him to my office right away. ”
"Yes, sir."
When the assistant heard John's name, he immediately understood what was going on.
Yesterday John invited all the people in the Department of Surgery at Charlotte Hospital to come to the meeting, but it was just an invitation from Professor Bergman. Under the deliberate arrangement of the professor of surgery, only a small half of the doctors went, and none of the nurses showed up. He thought that John had invited the general surgeon out of politeness, so he deliberately allowed only a few important subordinates to come over...... Professor Bergman's assistant certainly knew about it.
It was almost ten o'clock when the assistant came to the door of the surgical building.
Sure enough, as Professor Bergman had said, at ten o'clock John arrived at the surgical building with a young companion, Shi Shiran, and stood in front of the familiar building again.
"Good morning, Hennas."
Seeing his acquaintance after a year's absence, John greeted happily.
"Good morning, Mr. Huntelaar."
Bergman's assistant hurriedly stepped forward, shook John's hand vigorously and smiled: "It's very high that I can see you again, what happened a year ago is like yesterday, haha...... Professor Bergman is waiting for you in his office. ”
Gently patting the other party on the shoulder, John smiled and introduced, "Hennas, this is my colleague Howard in New York?" Mr. Kelly. ”
After the two politely greeted each other, they walked into the building together.
Howard coming to Charlotte Hospital for the first time? Kelly, with a curious look on his face, observed the surgical building that John often mentioned. Sure enough, just like he said. The doctors and nurses here are also dressed in uniform clothes, and the corridors look very clean, and the air is free of the usual stench in hospitals, let alone the noise and noise of a vegetable market. Aside from the fact that it is nowhere near as "luxurious" as Heinz General Hospital, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference.
And then......
"Huh? It's Mr. Huntelaar! ”
"Mr. Huntelaar, why are you here?"
……
Kelly had just taken a few looks. When they saw John, the doctors and nurses immediately gathered around them with surprise and joy. They weren't as well-informed as their assistants, and they didn't know much about John's return to Berlin, so they were surprised to see someone.
In the blink of an eye, John was surrounded by a crowd of people.
"Haha, good morning, everyone."
Seeing many familiar faces, John was extremely happy and kept greeting the people around him.
Quietly took two steps out, Howard? Kelly quietly looked at John in the crowd. He could see that John was really happy to be back here. And the others were just as excited, excited, and surprised when they saw him, especially the respect in that expression that could not be faked. In other words, as he expected, John was at least one of the most respected physicians in this world-famous hospital!
"Sure enough!"
Thinking about what John had accomplished, Howard's eyes flickered again rapidly......
……
After watching Kelly and Hennas leave, John turned his head and smiled and said, "Thank you, Professor, and I hope he can have a great three months at Charlotte Hospital." ”
As soon as he came to Bergman today, he was pleasantly surprised, and he had already agreed with Professor Werner. Allowing Kelly to stay on for three months was grateful, to John, who was still considering placing him.
"Haha. It's just a small thing. ”
Waving his hand, Professor Bergman smiled and said, "And the person who can be valued by you, Mr. Huntelaar, must be one of the best obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States, and Professor Werner is naturally happy to accept it." ”
"Uh...... Hehe. ”
Shrugging his shoulders, John was also happy.
Two former masters and apprentices, now old friends. I started chatting in the office. Both sides talked about what happened around them during the year, and because of the skills that John left behind, the surgery department at Charlotte Hospital has now become a mecca of surgery on the European continent, with domestic and foreign physicians coming to learn every month. After listening to John's account of Heinz General Hospital, Professor Bergman was also fascinated, and he couldn't wait to fly to New York to have a look......
Chatting and chatting, the topic slowly opened up.
“…… It's a pity that you weren't in Berlin at the time! ”
Speaking of the news of Frederick III's death, Professor Bergman still regretted it: "If you had been here at the time, you might have been able to make some really valid suggestions, rather than leave the Englishman to ...... Alas, what a pity. ”
Sure enough, Professor Bergman hadn't forgotten the invitation to John.
"Uh......"
John blinked his eyes and smiled dryly, "Professor, I don't have much in-depth research on laryngeal cancer right now, and even if I did, it wouldn't be meaningful." ”
However, Professor Bergman also seemed to feel that there was no point in talking about this matter at this point, and after smiling, he finally got down to business, and asked with a smile, "John, what do you mean by the new idea you said yesterday?" ”
"Hmm...... You can take a look at this material first. ”
Raising his eyebrows slightly, John immediately handed Professor Bergman the paper bag he had prepared.
The moment the information was received, Bergman was shocked. If this were a piece of information, it would be too large, at least hundreds of pages. So after being shocked, Professor Bergman's eyes immediately looked at John: this kid had only been out of Europe for only a year, and he had returned with such a thick amount of information...... In addition to the vitamin theory and genetic theory, how much else did he do in this year?
Impatiently, Professor Bergman looked down.
It was obvious that the material was typed out on a typewriter and looked clear and clean, and John had thoughtfully made a table of contents at the front, and it took Professor Bergman a minute to get a general idea of what it was. In addition to old things like surgical sterility and anesthesia, there was a headline that immediately caught Professor Bergman's attention: "Basic Surgical Techniques?" What is this content? ”
"It's the most basic technique of surgery!"
Almost repeating Professor Bergman's question, John replied: "Including the selection principles of surgical position, the selection and treatment of surgical incisions, the incision and separation techniques of tissues, the intraoperative hemostasis techniques, the suture principles of wounds, etc., can be regarded as my personal summary of the basic surgical operation techniques, right?" ”
"This ......"
Looking carefully at the content under the heading, Professor Bergman was stunned.
If John had written a book about stomach surgery, Bergman himself would have been in for a long time; If he wrote a plan for other surgeries, he would definitely pay enough attention to it and immediately arrange for it to be tried in his own hospital, but John wrote a basic thing that could not be more basic...... These things are also worth the attention of Mr. Huntelaar, who is now famous in Europe?
Unlike Thomas, Bergman did not realize the value of this information.
As one of the top surgeons in Europe, Bergman was concerned with "major" surgeries such as appendectomy and gastric cancer resection, or new technologies such as local anesthesia and sulfonamides, and never thought about studying surgical positions and wound sutures...... What is there to study for wound sutures? Isn't it just sewn with a thread? As for Thomas, they have been with John for a longer time and have been more deeply affected, and they already understand a lot of things when they first look at Ann.
"Professor, that's what I've been doing for the last year."
Under Bergman's incomprehensible gaze, John smiled slightly: "Until now, there is still a shadow over the heads of our surgeons, such as butchers who are still considered by the general public to wear leather aprons, machetes and saws, and are degraded by those internal medicine physicians as simple-minded and well-limbed savages...... Don't you want to get rid of all these annoying statements? ”
"Goo-dong!"
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Professor Bergman widened his eyes and asked, "John, do you mean ......?"
"I mean, it's time for a radical change!"
With a vigorous wave of his hand, John said in a deep voice: "Professor Bergman, if we want to completely get rid of these annoying discrimination against surgeons, we must prove to them that surgery is not a traditional craft, but a science!" We must tell them that the surgeon is not a job that anyone can do, but that they must be well studied and rigorously trained. We have to make them realize for themselves that surgery is a real science! ”
If it was a young surgeon, I am afraid that John's words would be boiling.
However, Professor Bergmann was forty or fifty years old after all, and he had been a professor of surgery at the University of Berlin for so many years, and he had long passed the age of enthusiasm, although he couldn't help but be a little excited, but finally he asked puzzledly: "I see what you mean, John, but...... What does this have to do with your profile? ”
"Of course it does!"
Taking a deep breath, John said categorically: "Professor Bergman, my hospital in New York has begun to fully promote these technologies, but after all, it is far away from Europe, and its influence is too weak. So I'm coming to you this time to ask you to start practicing the whole of the Charlotte Hospital's surgery as well, and then to tell you what they have to do with what I said......"
