Today is the weekend, and I don't have to go to work.

But in the office of Mr. John Huntelaar, a surgeon at Charlotte Hospital, there were now eight people, including his colleagues Professors Thomas, Bergman and Wolfgang, Chuck Dyer, two surgeons from England, and two medical editors, Edward and Hines.

Everyone's eyes were on John.

"Congratulations, John."

The first to speak was Bergman, who said solemnly: "It turns out that your theory is correct, and I am glad that you can stick to your ideas and prove it in the end." ”

Judging only from the tone and expression, Bergman's words are indeed very sincere.

"Thank you, Professor Bergman!"

John's eyes narrowed, and he smiled slightly: "I have to thank you for your support to me, otherwise I would definitely not be able to build such an operating room, and of course, I would not be able to complete this operation according to my own ideas......"

Whatever Professor Bergman's intentions in saying this, John had to express his gratitude. In fact, John would have been a little less certain if Professor Bergman had not suddenly changed his attitude and fully supported him in revamping the operating room.

After Bergman finished speaking, Wolfgang, a professor of internal medicine, hesitated slightly, and finally stood up and smiled: "Mr. Huntelaar, the next thing is the exchange between your surgeons, and I will not participate." Finally, congratulations on your successful surgical treatment of right lower quadrant pain......"

"It should be a surgical treatment for acute appendicitis!"

With a frown, John corrected Professor Wolfgang's statement.

For Professor Wolfgang, John's surgery was to solve the pain in the right lower abdomen, but for John, he knew that there were many diseases that could cause pain in the right lower abdomen, and acute appendicitis was just one of them. Nature cannot be simply equated.

“appendicitis？ What do you mean? ”

Professor Wolfgang frowned, and subconsciously asked rhetorically.

Of course, he knew that the Latin word "appendix" meant appendix, but he really hadn't heard of the word appendicitis, and he could just literally guess that it had something to do with the appendix.

"The meaning of appendix inflammation."

John was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained with a smile: "I used a Greek suffix to form a new word to denote the inflammation that occurs in the appendix......"

"Why add a Greek suffix?"

It's okay that John doesn't explain. As soon as he explained, the others were also a little confused.

As a language that could communicate with God, Latin has always been a language that must be mastered in mainstream European and American societies, and its status at this time was far higher than that of English and French. In fact, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in any European or American school...... Regardless of the level of school, up to the university level, Latin is a compulsory subject for students.

As for the medical field, not to mention it.

Everyone knows that there are far more medical terms in all disciplines than in other disciplines. Because it has a huge number of derivative words. The vast majority of medical terms are composed of Latin, and prescriptions are all written in Latin, which is a language that every physician must be proficient in. It can be said that of all disciplines, there is no one that relies more heavily on the use of Latin than medicine. To give you a simple example, until the 21st century, medical students in China still had to take Latin for a semester, at least John had a headache for months......

Greek was also the lingua franca of Western Europe in the 19th century, and has recently been used in medicine. But adding a Greek affix to a Latin stem is still puzzling.

"This ......"

Blinked. John laughed dryly and explained, "I just think it sounds good...... Gentlemen, since I was the first to accurately describe this disease, I am naturally qualified to give it a name, am I? The word appendicitis is already used in all my papers! ”

At the end, John's tone couldn't help but harden.

He didn't know that the question of this Greek affix had caused a lot of criticism in history. It's just that the American physician who located the pain in the right lower abdomen to the appendix took that name and was quite influential, that it didn't stop him from spreading widely among surgeons. He only knew that he was used to using this word, and he was a pioneer in his life, so he was naturally reluctant to revise it because of other people's opinions.

"Of course. Of course you have that right! ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Professor Wolfgang spread his hands indifferently and smiled: "Anyway, congratulations on solving the problem of surgical treatment of appendicitis...... Starting next Monday, I will continue to introduce you to patients with pain in the right lower abdomen! Of course, we will make a selection based on the diagnostic criteria you have established. ”

"Thank you so much!"

After hearing Professor Wolfgang's words, John was overjoyed, and quickly turned around and took out a copy of the information from his bookcase and handed it to the other party, and said solemnly: "Professor Wolfgang, this is the diagnostic protocol I wrote about acute appendicitis, I hope you can refer to it specifically, it should be very helpful." ”

"Okay."

Unceremoniously accepted this information, and Wolfgang was also quite happy in his heart.

As a professor of internal medicine, Wolfgang was not interested in surgery even after seeing John's success firsthand. But he is really very concerned about John's achievements in the diagnosis of right lower quadrant pain, and if this thing is studied in the future, it may be of great benefit......

After Professor Wolfgang left, Professor Bergman got up and left. Today he just wants to know the result, and the other things have already seen what John wrote, so naturally there is no need to stay. But the two British doctors are clearly different, Chuck? Dale immediately asked eagerly, "Mr. Huntelaar, can you give us a copy of the information just now?" ”

"Absolutely!"

John laughed, took out two stacks of materials from the bookcase, and handed them to the two British physicians.

Fortunately, typewriters have appeared in this era, and what John writes only needs to be typed by professional typists, otherwise just preparing materials for these people can toss him to death!

Relative to the material he gave to Professor Wolfgang. These two stacks of materials are much thicker. After all, the information for the professor of internal medicine only needs to include the criteria and process of diagnosis, but the information for his peers must contain more content, such as several methods for judging the position of the appendix, and then such as the selection of surgical incisions, the whole process of surgery, precautions, etc., it can be said that John wrote all the appendectomy on it without reservation.

As the moderator of the study. John didn't mean to make any reservations.

Surgical techniques are not patented, and John, as a surgeon, has absolutely no intention of making money from them. In fact, the medical expenses of this era really didn't make much money, a phlebotomy was a few tens of cents, and an aneurysm surgery was only a hundred dollars, which was about the same price as John's appendicitis surgery. Even a few decades later, many doctors in the United States would accept the invitation of the Rockefeller Foundation for a salary of a little more than $100 a month, and travel thousands of miles to the capital of the ancient Oriental country to join the famous Union Hospital......

John really doesn't like that little bit of money!

Even if you can be like the top doctors in New York. What about making thousands of dollars a year?

Not to mention that there are countless ways to make money in his head, looking at the industries under his name right now, bicycles will be a good business for the next ten years, and the money invested in Benz should soon yield huge returns, as well as the stainless steel industry, surgical instrument patents, and patents for two local anesthetics......

And in the letter sent by the old Huntelaar last week, the old man said that he had found the guy named Tesla recommended by John, and he was very kind and invested 5,000 dollars in the other party to fund his research on generators. And generously gave the other party 40% of the shares......

It's that John wants to be a gentleman in the future, and the investment he has now is enough for him to squander for a lifetime!

Promote the medical knowledge in your head. That's what John wants to do now.

In addition to publishing these theories and experiences in journals, it is certainly the best way to bring together a group of surgeons who help promote themselves. Liszt is undoubtedly one of the best options. With Liszt's influence, John's ideas were quickly spread in England, at least the top surgeons could easily accept it.

With Liszt and Bergman, the two most powerful countries in Europe are basically done.

So John didn't just have to give all the information about the appendix surgery to the two surgeons. John had to teach them new theories and techniques in surgery, including aseptic techniques, local anesthesia techniques, so that they could be brought back to England and handed over to Liszt.

So after a slight groan, John smiled and said, "Mr. Dale." If Professor Wolfgang can get us more patients soon, I think soon we will have new jobs in the operating room...... Again, I sincerely invite you to join us! ”

"Oh? Are you sure? ”

Chuck? Dale's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

"Of course!"

John nodded, smiled and said, "I don't know how long you will stay in Berlin, if you are interested, you can participate in the whole process of reception, diagnosis, surgery and post-operative care of all our cases, and at the same time you can learn new disinfection practices and local anesthesia techniques......

"Interested, we must be interested!"

John's words aren't finished, Chuck? Dale nodded with a happy face, and couldn't wait to express his attitude.

If when the two first came to Berlin, they were only interested in the new disinfection technology because Liszt was interested in the new disinfection technology, and they also wanted them to learn about local anesthesia technology, but now the two are more interested in appendectomy. For a surgeon, this groundbreaking surgical approach is even more appealing.

The two British doctors originally wanted to talk to John in detail, but now that they got the information, all their attention was focused on it, so naturally they were not interested in chatting. So after a few words, Thomas took them away. I'm afraid the two of them will stay here for a long time, and a lot of things have to be prepared in advance.

When the three of them left, only John and the two magazine's editors were left in the room. Under the expectant gaze of the two, John took out two stacks of exaggerated materials from the bookcase this time, and said with a smile: "Both, these are the eight papers I have prepared for you, if you are interested, you can take a look at them first." ”

"Eight? So much?! ”

After listening to John's words, the two editors were taken aback, and they were both stunned when they looked at each other.

"Is eight a lot?"

Smiling slightly, John nodded and said: "These materials include the expansion of aseptic techniques, the application of local anesthesia techniques for this operation, the diagnosis of right lower quadrant pain, surgery and postoperative care, etc., a total of only eight papers, which is very few" (to be continued............

PS: Khan, it's likely that the plan I made up today won't be completed, and I've just finished writing the first chapter at this time.
