Chapter 41 The First Paper
With Bergman's full support, autoclave, boil and alcohol were soon introduced into the surgical building at Charlotte Hospital.
Steam sterilization is a occurrence, but boiling sterilization has already been around for a long time, and Pasteur has made a similar point, but not as precise as John's scheme: it is better to cook for more than an hour! And at present, most of the surgical instruments and some dressings are used in surgery, and there is not much chance of boiling and disinfection.
In short, about half a month later, Charlotte Hospital began to fully use autoclave disinfection technology.
Alcohol disinfection was also warmly welcomed by the doctors and patients, and the surgeons were very happy without the pungent smell of stone carbonate, and even their attitude towards John was a lot more enthusiastic.
But for John, these things didn't matter to him, even though Bergman had written a paper and signed it to his name. Because in his opinion, these disinfection methods are too rudimentary, and only focusing on the operating room will not achieve the effect that John expects!
But John didn't have anything to do about it. He was now just a student studying with Bergman, and there was no power at all to change that.
So during this time, for his own future and also to welcome the arrival of old Huntelaar, he changed his original plan, one day a week in the physiology room, one day off, one day in the room in the table tennis tinkering, the rest of the time in the operating room and ward, carefully observing the surgeons' operations, learning the times of the times, and even began to do some simple operations with the acquiescence of Bergman.
Less than a month after his internship, John was already on the operating table.
This would never be possible in the Hereafter, but it is taken for granted in this era. Nowadays, the surgeries are relatively simple, and the thyroid and appendicitis surgeries carried out by surgeons are major surgeries, and Bi 1 is a "cutting-edge technology" Bi Rod in Vienna only started to try it three years ago, and Bi 2 has not yet appeared......
Standing on the operating table in a month is really not a big deal.
And in the eyes of Bergman and other surgeons, John's talent can be described in two words, no matter what kind of operation, John does it cleanly, so that people can't find anything wrong, the only thing that may be a little disappointing is that he is slower to do surgery than others, but considering that he is just starting out, everyone is relieved. So under the praise of everyone, Bergman began to give him more opportunities, and in the last week he has been arranging for him to do two or three almost every day.
After two weeks, John didn't have much interest in these minor surgeries.
Soon John put all his energy into admitting a patient with pain in his right lower abdomen. Although not all of these patients were admitted to the surgical ward, under the banner of Professor Bergman, John often went to the internal medicine department to observe these patients, and secretly stopped them from time to time to do some examinations, and on several occasions he had to run back in disgrace after being seen by his peers.
But it didn't take long for John to get what he wanted......
……
On a Sunday in mid-December, snow fell in the sky over Berlin.
After entering December, the temperature in Berlin plummeted, people began to wear thick cotton clothes, stoves were lit in their homes, and of course, the news of homeless people freezing to death in the newspapers gradually increased, making people feel the cruelty and cold of winter.
"Mr. Elber, Grandpa, they should be almost here in the next two days, right?"
During dinner that morning, John suddenly asked after swallowing a mouthful of bread.
"Yes, sir."
The butler nodded and smiled: "Mr. Huntelaar sent a telegram from Hamburg yesterday, saying that he was about to leave for Berlin, presumably in the next two days...... Sir, please rest assured that your grandfather is in good health and has fully recovered after a three-day rest in Hamburg. ”
John nodded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
More than a month had passed since the day the old Huntelaar came out of New York, and under John's strong suggestion, the old man rested for a while in London, and waited for Joshua to come to Berlin after taking care of the matter, and rested for three days after arriving in Hamburg. On the one hand, it is convenient for his friends to take care of his grandfather, and on the other hand, John is also worried about his body, afraid that if he travels for too long, he will be too tired, and it will be troublesome to cause any diseases.
Even if it was just a simple cold, John didn't have any effective medicine on hand to treat it.
Seeing that John was relieved and continued to eat breakfast, Hans hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Sir, everything in the house has been prepared, and old Mr. Huntelaar can move in at any time after he comes, but what are you going to do with it, Mr. Joshua?" ”
Although there were many rooms in the house, there was only one room left after the old Huntelaar and Henry were inhabited, which was certainly not enough for Joshua and his entourage. But it seems a little inappropriate to let that kid stay in a hotel, after all, the relationship between the two families is very close, and the nearest hotel is quite far from here.
John frowned in embarrassment, but after a moment's thought, he suddenly became happy.
Under Hans's astonished gaze, John smiled and said, "It's okay, he certainly won't be without a place to live...... Well, Mr. Elber, I'll write a letter later, and you can have someone help him deliver it to Mr. Brister. ”
"Yes, sir."
Hans was slightly stunned, but soon understood, and laughed himself.
Joshua's main purpose in coming to Berlin was to negotiate with Brister about building a bicycle factory, so as long as John informed the other party of the news, he would not worry about Joshua's place of residence, and the people there would naturally arrange a thing. In fact, during this period of time, Brister invited John several times, and once invited him to Baron Cole's ball, but he politely declined. During this time, John was so focused on business that he even felt less interested in seeing Anna, and naturally had little interest in the meaningless ball.
Hans, relieved, did not bother John any longer, and soon the two of them finished their breakfast.
Although it was snowing heavily, John politely declined Hans's request to stay by the fireplace in the drawing-room, and habitually returned to his cold study, where he lay down on the table and wrote a letter to Mr. Brister. The content of the letter was simple, nothing more than that his long-awaited Monsieur Joshua was about to arrive in Berlin with a large number of machines and equipment, and that Joshua hoped to meet him and Baron Cole as much as possible. As he spoke, John hinted that Mr. Brister would have warmly invited Joshua over and arranged for their lodging and boarding.
It took me more than ten minutes to write the letter, but when John sealed it and was about to take it down to Hans at noon, he sat at his desk and suddenly froze.
What should I do next?!
With no TV, no internet, and no friends, John didn't really know what he was supposed to do for a while. There are dozens of books in the study that he bought for recreation, but he has long since turned them over, and there seems to be nothing else to do at home in this day and age other than reading books!
"It's boring, maybe I should find some other interests for myself......"
John once again felt the loneliness of this era, and after muttering for a long time, he stood up and rubbed his somewhat cold hands vigorously, and took out an open envelope from the bookcase.
"Hoo ......"
With a sigh of relief, John's gaze fell on the recipient of the cover.
The Lancet.
For any surgeon in later generations, the lancet is not only a tool they use every day to go to work, but also a symbol of their own achievement. This British medical journal with the name of the surgical scalpel has been ranked as one of the world's four major medical journals for hundreds of years, and is an academic platform that many physicians yearn for, and John is certainly no exception.
So for the first paper in this life, John chose The Lancet without hesitation.
After a moment of contemplation, John took out the dozen pages of the paper from the envelope and carefully laid them out on the table. The dim light outside the window, along with the equally dim kerosene lamp on the table, shone on the clear English headline, "Inferences from Human Blood Groups and Common Causes of Death in Clinical Blood Transfusions," and directly below the headline was a slightly smaller line with the name of the author: John Huntelaar, Friedrich-Wilhelmsmärthethall, University of Berlin.
He is the only name!
From the day the microscope was sent home, John 6 asked Hans to find more than 20 homeless people and poor people, and he did more than 100 practical yàns, and finally saved up enough real yàn with a lot of water, and wrote this paper not long ago, which was ready to be submitted to the journal The Lancet. Originally, I wanted to talk about it after the New Year, but at this moment, John suddenly remembered it and couldn't help but take it out.
Staring at the paper, John only felt that his palms were heavy.
In John's eyes and mind, this paper represents not only a great Nobel Prize, nor does it mean the eradication of an important constraint in clinical surgery, but also the beginning of his fundamental field of physiology outside of clinical practice.
And......
"Why can't you take it a step further and make it the beginning of your academic career?"
Suddenly, a thought arose in John's heart, so strong that his cold hands couldn't help but tremble slightly under the excitement!
Bergman had already written a treatise on steam sterilization and alcohol sterilization, and he had to wait to collect enough jù to send it to the magazine list, which had John's name on it. John had wanted to wait for the list of articles before submitting this paper, but for now......
"That's you!"
Having made a decisive decision, John put the paper in an envelope and sealed it, then picked up the two letters and went downstairs to Hans.
Even though it may not be widely accepted for a long time after the paper is listed, for John, the significance of these dozen pages is very important, indicating that he will officially step into the door of medicine and go further and further on this road destined to be brilliant......
