In the new week, the physicians who came to the academic conference began to arrive one after another.

Because traffic in this era was uncontrollable in many cases, some doctors would even arrive three or four days early in order not to be late, which made John immediately busy. Almost every surgeon who arrived in Berlin wanted to talk to John directly about local anesthesia and appendectomy, and he couldn't say no to it, so he spent almost all of his time chatting with surgeons from all over Europe.

And by Friday, when Vienna's Bierrot and London's Liszt were about to arrive in London at the same time, John had no time to spare......

“…… So for two days, I'm afraid I really won't be able to spare time. ”

When he went out in the morning, John smiled helplessly at his grandfather: "Mr. Liszt and Mr. Bierrot are both heavyweights in the field of surgery, and I am afraid that I will have to do a good job of accompanying him today and tomorrow, so ...... Grandpa, how about Hans accompany you to the Brister house? ”

“…… All right. ”

After frowning and hesitating for a moment, old Huntelaar could only nod.

Although there was something very important to talk about going to Brister's house today, and old Huntelaar also thought that it would be better for John to go with him, but he also knew his grandson quite well that this kid valued being a doctor far more than anything else, and it was better to go on his own than to be reluctant.

However, before John went out, old Huntelaar still carefully instructed: "John, I know you have been very busy lately. But the ball I'm going to have at the end of the month is very important, so you should make sure you set aside time for it! ”

"Don't worry, I will."

With a frown, John said yes and rode out.

As soon as John entered his office and sat down, Paul knocked on the door and came in, holding a stack of documents and pursing his lips and saying, "John." Can you help me look at these things again? ”

"Uh......"

Looking at Paul's nervous look, John couldn't help but roll his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Okay, let me put it here first, I'll give it to you at noon." ”

Ever since he decided to have the three of Thomas speak at the conference, all three of them were visibly nervous. Thomas was actually better, at least a little more confident, but Paul and Robert were completely numb: how could students who had not yet received their PhDs teach those surgeons without being nervous?

It was the second time in three days that Paul had shown John the lesson plan he had prepared.

After thinking about it for a while. John stood up and walked in front of Paul, and deliberately said in a relaxed tone: "Paul, during this time, you have been focusing on local anesthesia techniques, and you have hardly been given any chance in terms of surgery, do you have any thoughts in your heart?" ”

"Huh?"

Hearing John's question, Paul was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head like a rattle and said urgently: "No, no idea!" I now find that it is not easy to master just one local anesthesia technique, where is there any mind to think about anything else? It's true. I just want to master the local anesthesia technique as much as possible! ”

"Hmm."

Relieved, John nodded in satisfaction.

In this day and age. The anesthesia is performed by the surgeons themselves, and the anesthesia technology that has just come out of its infancy has no theory at all, and everyone's operation belongs to the "bold" type. This was completely unacceptable to John, as he understood all too well the dangers of anaesthesia and its importance to surgery. So from the very beginning, he put local anesthesia technology in the position of an "exact science", and instilled this concept in Paul from beginning to end!

Horizontal plane of anesthesia. The dose of anesthesia, the assessment of the patient's weight, physiological condition, and the prediction of tolerance...... A series of questions and precautions were raised by John, and then on the basis of a certain theoretical basis and approximate level, Paul began a long study of local anesthesia technology: the world's first clinical study of local anesthesia was carried out by John with a detailed plan. It began in earnest in the summer of 1885......

"Don't worry."

Patting Paul on the shoulder, John smiled and said, "Don't forget that I invented local anesthetic, and I was the first to pioneer local anesthetic technology...... You are the second in the world! When it comes to local anesthesia technology alone, I don't think anyone in the world knows more about it than you, right? ”

"Hmm!"

Nodding heavily, Paul looked at John with a look of gratitude.

The longer he spent in the local anesthesia technique, the more Paul realized the importance and advancement of John's anesthesia theories, and the more fortunate he was to be able to come into contact with the technique so early. In just a few months, it was as if he had been led through a mysterious door, and a new world suddenly appeared in front of him!

Anesthesia technology will become an independent new discipline in the future.

By this time, Paul was convinced of what John had said, and he had found that he really liked anesthesia, and he had an urge to keep doing it!

While Paul sighed in his heart, John then laughed and said: "Okay, just like no one knows aseptic disinfection techniques better than Robert except me, and no one knows appendectomy better than Thomas, in terms of your local anesthesia skills, you are enough to be anyone's teacher, so no matter who you give a lecture, you are qualified, rest assured!" ”

"Okay, I see!"

Taking a deep breath, Paul felt that he was really relaxed this time, although he didn't know how long this state would last, but at least at this moment he was full of confidence......

……

After lunch, John and Bergmann rushed to the Berlin train station.

According to the telegram received yesterday, the two bigwigs, Bierrot and Liszt, will arrive this afternoon, and the difference between them should be less than half an hour, which saves them a lot of trouble: with the status and status of Liszt and Bierrot in the field of surgery, it is a matter of course that Bergman and John will personally go to the train station to meet them.

It didn't take long after arriving at the train station. The train from Hamburg has arrived.

"Look, that's Mr. Liszt!"

In the flow of passengers out of the station, the tall John recognized Liszt's face at a glance.

Joseph? Liszt, whose name is so famous in the history of surgery, that although John had only met him once a few years ago, he could never forget what he looked like. Compared to three years ago. Liszt's face didn't change much, except that John was a little surprised that he seemed to have come alone, with no retinue or assistants around him.

Under John's guidance, Bergman soon spotted Liszt as well.

Not to mention that Liszt has almost traveled to the most important countries in Europe in order to promote his surgical disinfection concept over the years, let's just say that after Bergman sat in the position of professor of surgery at the University of Berlin, he specially sent someone to London to learn the disinfection method of stone carbonic acid!

Just as the two of them were hurrying up to meet them, Liszt also took the initiative to come over and stretch out his right hand: "Good afternoon." Professor Bergman! ”

"Good afternoon, Professor Liszt!"

The two old acquaintances shook each other hard and laughed at the same time.

After shaking hands with Bergman, Liszt didn't wait for the other party to introduce him to the young man next to him, he had already taken the initiative to turn around and stretched out his hand to John: "Good afternoon, John?" Mr. Huntelaar! Unexpectedly, it would be three years since we met again, and you have gone from a young man who aspires to be a surgeon. He became an associate professor of surgery at the University of Berlin...... Congratulations, Mr. Huntelaar! ”

"Uh...... Do you remember me? ”

Liszt's words made John's eyes widen. Rather surprised, he asked.

"Haha, of course I remember!"

Liszt blinked his eyes and laughed: "I can't help but be impressed by a young American who suddenly came to me and said that he was very interested in surgical sterilization!" ”

Hearing Liszt say this, John and Bergman were also happy at the same time.

John arrived in London from the United States that year. And took the initiative to meet Liszt, and the two parties remembered that Bergman had heard John talk about it a long time ago. But he was a little surprised that Liszt still remembered this incident, after all, John was an insignificant little person to him!

But beneath Liszt's seemingly cheerful smile. John saw a hint of helplessness and exhaustion hidden deeply.

The promotion of the concept of surgical sterilization has always been the direction of Liszt's unremitting efforts, but it is regrettable that in the early years he encountered more criticism and ridicule, not only surgeons called his germs "Liszt's gadgets", but even the nuns who worked as nurses were suspected of defiling God because of this theory, and once besieged him in London. That's why Liszt was so impressed when John approached him to make it clear that he was very interested in sterilization technology and intended to be called a surgeon.

But now, while Europe's leading surgeons such as Bergman and Bierrot have embraced the concept of surgical sterilization and promoted it, his method of carbolic acid disinfection is rapidly falling behind. Anyone in the know can predict that under the onslaught of new technologies such as autoclave steam disinfection, high-concentration alcohol disinfection, and iodine tincture, it won't be long before there will be no place for stone carbonic acid disinfection......

For Liszt, who has persevered for nearly two decades, how helpless is this?

After greeting for a while, Liszt, who had been on the road for a few days, asked with a smile: "Gentlemen, has my place of residence been arranged?" I hope it's not too far from Charlotte Hospital, but I'd love to be able to spend more than a week talking to both of you. ”

"It's not far, just a few minutes away."

Bergman smiled and nodded, "But, Mr. Liszt, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer, and another companion should arrive soon." ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

After listening to Bergman's words, Liszt was slightly surprised.

There are probably not many surgeons qualified to let Bergman wait at the train station, and Liszt subconsciously began to speculate on the identity of this colleague.

"Mr. Bierrot of Vienna!"

Smiling slightly, Bergman said solemnly.

For Liszt and Bierrot to come to Berlin at the same time, to be honest, Bergmann was quite surprised, after all, as these two bigwigs, it is indeed quite rare to take the initiative to participate in academic conferences dominated by others. Therefore, the professor of surgery at the University of Berlin now understands one thing, that is, after this academic conference, Johann is probably going to become famous!

"Mr. Bierrot? He's here too? ”

After hearing this name, Liszt couldn't help but be stunned.

Liszt is of course very familiar with the former professor of surgery at the University of Berlin and now professor of surgery at the Medical University of Vienna. In fact, more than ten years ago, the two were still bitter enemies, when Bierrot believed that there was only one kind of cocci left in the world, and that it would become other bacteria in different environments, and he was strongly hostile to the idea of surgical disinfection, and had publicly opposed and ridiculed Liszt many times. But after all, he was one of the best surgeons of his time, and he soon changed his attitude with the facts proven, not only sending people to London to learn Liszt's sterilization method, but also preaching the theory of surgical disinfection at many public academic conferences.

From enemies to friends, the two European surgical leaders now know each other.

Liszt was also secretly frightened that Bierrot had come to Berlin in person, just like himself. He understood that he was here because of John's interest in the improvement of surgical sterilization, especially the frightening success rate of open surgery, and he Liszt was extremely interested in this sterilization method, but Bierrot's words ......

"Isn't he concentrating on his stomach cancer removal?"

Liszt frowned, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: "Could it be that because the success rate of his operations is too low, he came to ask for help considering the imperfection of disinfection or anesthesia technology?" ”

"Mr. Liszt, would you mind waiting with us for a moment?"

Seeing that the other party's expression seemed a little strange, Bergman couldn't help but ask.

"Well, of course I don't mind."

Recovering from his contemplation, Liszt quickly smiled and shook his head.

"Woo......"

At this moment, a high-pitched train whistle was suddenly heard in the distance.

"Huh?"

Looking at his pocket watch with some surprise, Bergman smiled and said, "According to the timetable of Berlin Railway Station, the next train to arrive at the station should be from Vienna, can't this be Mr. Bierrot's train?" It was a lot early to arrive. ”

After the three of them waited at the exit for a while, Liszt and Bergmann spotted the waiting figure in the crowd almost at the same time, looked at each other and smiled: "Sure enough, Mr. Bierrot has arrived......"
