Chapter 22 Physician Training
At this dinner at the Brister house, John was in a good mood.
After John's explanation, Anna didn't care too much about his birthday, on the one hand, John did have important work, and on the other hand, he did put a lot of thought into the gifts he gave, which offset a lot of things in a certain way. And in order to liven up the atmosphere, Brister gave a general account of John's acquisition of a dye factory today and the huge amount of money he was going to invest in, which made Anna and his mother exclaim at the same time.
The investment of more than a million marks, which is beyond their imagination.
So under the impetus of Mr. Brister, intentionally or unintentionally, Mrs. Brister's eyes looked at John more warmly, and the beautiful Miss Brister's heart was like a deer, and John's image was much taller......
The only thing John regrets is that he still hasn't found a chance to be alone with Anna. Although the Bristers did not seem to be very opposed, when the dinner lasted for more than an hour, and the time was half past eight, John had no choice but to get up and take his leave.
As she bid farewell to John, Mrs. Brister smiled and said, "Mr. Huntelaar, your conversation is always so pleasant, and perhaps you should come here often in the future......
"It is my pleasure, ma'am."
Glancing at Anna beside Mrs. Brister, John smiled politely, "And if Miss Brister is interested, I would very much like her to come and visit Charlotte Hospital to see how I work......"
When talking about John's work, Anna asked a lot about the surgeon, and John remembered it and naturally extended an invitation.
"Of course I'm interested!"
As soon as John's words fell, Anna's answer blurted out!
"Uh......"
Under the somewhat stunned and ambiguous gaze of the Bristers. John, of course, didn't have anything, but the thin-skinned Anna's face instantly flushed, and then she hung her head deeply......
"Maybe I should live closer to here?"
When he left the Brister house in the carriage, John felt a little reluctant in his heart for the first time.
Seventeen-year-old Anna seemed to be a little more beautiful in John's eyes, and after so many times of getting along, he found out. He found the girl more and more cute: she was very straightforward and independent-minded, and at least when it came to John's fortune and a surgeon at the dinner table, the Bristers had a very regretful attitude, and she was the only one who thought that doing what she wanted was the most important thing......
I can't help but like it!
However, John quickly dismissed the idea, moving or something was too annoying, and the Brister house was too far away from Charlotte Hospital and the University of Berlin, and John didn't want to ride his bike for an hour every morning and freeze people in the winter. In the summer, it will make him sweat profusely......
……
"Mr. Elber, please help me send this telegram to my grandfather."
After breakfast on Monday morning, John handed an envelope to Hans, the butler.
"Yes, sir."
Nodding, Hans put the envelope away. He knew that there was something important to discuss between the young master and the old master recently, so the telegrams would be sent quite frequently, but he felt that the expensive telegram fee was a little distressing.
After a brief tidying up, John got on his bike and went out.
Today he sent a telegram to old Huntelaar about the fact that a contract for the transfer of the dye factory had been signed. It also shows that he has decided that he will invest a lot of money before leaving Europe, of course. It is also necessary to paint a picture of the bright future for old Huntelaar. After cutting first, John believed that his grandfather should cooperate with him......
After arriving at the hospital, John first went to Professor Bergman's office.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. John Huntelaar."
As soon as he entered, Bergman introduced John to the other three strangers in the room. The three strangers were all in their thirties, although some were tall and some were short. But the body is very strong, and looking at John at this time, his eyes are invariably full of surprise.
"Good morning, gentlemen."
Bowing slightly, John smiled and said hello.
John was used to this kind of staring full of doubt and surprise. In fact, he had been glad countless times that he had deliberately changed his age before coming to Europe. Otherwise, it would be a bit exaggerated to do so many things at the age of sixteen.
After Bergman's introduction, John quickly became acquainted with the three surgeons.
Ludwig Niklaus of the University of Heidelberg, Frank Fischer of the University of Göttingen and Leo Wagner of the University of Munich are among the best surgeons in the universities today.
The trainee physicians have arrived.
It must be said that the efficiency of the Germans was really high. A week ago, Johann had just promised Professor Bergmann to allow surgeons from German universities to send people to study, but he didn't expect that the three of them had already arrived in just a few days!
"For the next two months, you will be studying with Mr. Huntelaar."
After a pleasant exchange, Bergman smiled and said, "Whether it is the new aseptic disinfection technique, the local anesthetic technique or the appendectomy, it was all independently pioneered by Mr. Huntelaar, and even I am still in the process of learning...... Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you won't waste these two months. ”
"Thank you very much, Professor Bergman!"
After hearing these words, the faces of the three of them were slightly strange.
Since they were sent by their respective professors to Berlin for two months of study, they naturally had a very in-depth understanding of John's previous achievements, but no one could have imagined that these studies would be independently carried out by this young and somewhat excessive young man in front of them - even if the first name of the paper is John Huntelaar!
But Professor Bergman's statement made them have to believe this.
The four of them left Professor Bergman's office and came to John's own office, and after pulling a little nurse to ask her to come over to Thomas, John smiled at the three people who were waiting, and said lightly, "Everyone. What would you like to know about the next two of you? ”
"All of them, of course!"
Frank Fisher immediately replied: "The new aseptic disinfection technique, the local anesthetic technique and the appendectomy, we want to learn all three techniques!" ”
"This ......"
Subconsciously, John frowned.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, none of these three techniques should be particularly complicated, especially the local anesthesia technique and the aseptic disinfection technique. One is to inject anesthetic into the patient's spinal canal, and the other is just some precautions for operation?
But John himself knows that the truth is not as simple as it seems!
Aseptic disinfection techniques may be relatively simple, mainly to cultivate their awareness of sterility, but it is not so easy to make them deeply understand them. Learning superficial work is always the easiest, but what John wants is not so simple, he hopes that every surgeon who comes to study can firmly establish the concept of surgical sterility and actively promote it. It will take time for John to completely influence them with places such as the real yàn room, the operating room, the autoclave room, etc.
As for local anesthesia technology. It's even more complicated.
Anaesthesiologists were one of the riskiest professions in all eras, and in Europe in 1885, this risk was raised to a very high level, as independent anesthesiologists had not even appeared. It seems simple, just give procaine and lidocaine to the neuraxial canal, but it is easy to master this technology, but it is difficult to ensure safety.
Evaluation of the patient's condition and selection of anesthesia site, etc. All require a long period of study.
Just like in John's small team, John positioned Paul in the position of a full-time anesthesiologist. Even Robert has now worked as an assistant to John and Thomas a few times. But Paul has been in charge of monitoring the patient's condition during the dozen appendectomy and has been in charge of anesthesia in the last few surgeries!
Although John didn't say it explicitly, Paul was already vaguely aware of it.
Any one technique alone is enough for them to learn two months a month, not to mention appendectomy? You know, an appendectomy is only a few tens of minutes. However, before going to the operating table, surgeons must understand the anatomy and characteristics of the appendix, and be aware of the possibility of a small number of ectopic appendices, as well as understand the pathological anatomy of appendicitis, master its diagnostic criteria, and know how to choose a McCephalic incision after going to the operating table. Learn how to ensure sterility during surgery, learn how to remove an inflamed appendix with a small incision, and even manage cases where abscesses and perforations have formed, and how to change dressings and care after surgery......
How can it be in two months?
John's hesitation puzzled the three surgeons at the same time, and Ludwig Niklaus frowned and asked, "Mr. Huntelaar, is there any problem?" I heard Professor Bergman say that you have prepared sufficient study materials, if that is the case, two months should be enough, right? After all, we haven't just gotten our PhDs, we've been working as surgeons for almost a decade! ”
"Hoo ......"
Breathing a sigh of relief, John nodded with a wry smile and said, "Okay gentlemen, although two months is a little short, I will try my best to teach you all these things." ”
In just a few seconds, John had figured it out.
I can't hold the surgeons of this era to the standards of the future, especially when they are still operating shirtless, if the requirements are too high, it is purely unpleasant for themselves.
The progress of the technical level always requires a process.
A good start is more important than anything else, and all John needs to do is sow these seeds and let them take root in the hospitals of various universities, which in turn will affect many other surgeons. As for whether the effect can reach the same level as John, does it really matter?
The surgeons of this era have their own judgment!
Think about it, if these surgeons in front of you were not from the best universities in Germany, would they be so eager to learn aseptic technique? You know, although Liszt's theory has been accepted by many surgeons, there are still a lot of people who resist this idea, and John believes that after seeing his extremely cumbersome aseptic procedure, I am afraid that most surgeons will not be able to accept it.
At the end of the day, a qiē is a matter of counting jù to speak.
If these people don't learn properly, the incidence of infection or mortality after surgery will inevitably be much higher, and then as long as they compare it with the figures provided by John, they will naturally understand......
"Gotcha! Get! ”
At this moment, Thomas knocked on the door and asked, "Mr. Huntelaar, are you looking for me?" ”
"Well, yes."
John nodded, and after introducing the three of them to Thomas, John continued: "Gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to my assistant, Mr. Thomas Hunt, who will arrange the next study. Of course, he was only responsible for the appendectomy part, and there was also a Mr. Paul Zucker who taught the local anesthetic technique and another Mr. Robert Prince who taught the aseptic disinfection technique! ”
"Huh?"
Hearing John say this, the three of them were stunned.
Bergman had pushed them to John, and now the kid had pushed himself to the other three, and this treatment made them feel a hint of contempt at the same time.
Thomas was also surprised, but now he didn't say anything more about John, but just nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Ignoring the dissatisfaction of the three of them, John continued: "Gentlemen, you have two months, so I hope you can study theory in the first month, if you can enter the operating room to learn appendectomy after our initial assessment, and then we will even arrange a few surgeries for you to do by yourself, how about it?" ”
"Good!"
Hearing John say this, the three surgeons were overjoyed!
But this time Thomas was a little anxious, he opened his mouth to say something, but after looking at the other three, he closed his mouth again, and only after the three surgeons left the office did he say urgently: "John, there are still two British surgeons who have not left, their words are ......"
"It's okay!"
Waving his hand, John smiled slightly: "Those two people have been in Berlin for so long, it's time for them to give it a try." This month, you arrange for them to start as surgical assistants, and at the beginning of next month, you arrange for them to perform two surgeries for simple appendicitis, and by the time they are done, the theoretical knowledge of these three should be almost ......"
