In an era where most people work six days a week and a few work five and a half days a week, Sunday is the only day off for the whole day. But for the surgeons at the University of Berlin's Charlotte Hospital, the Sunday was still at full capacity.

Because just today, fifty-four surgeons poured into the surgical building in one go!

Originally thought to be an academic conference of more than 40 people, in the end there were 54 surgeons attended, and came from eight countries in Europe, of which the Germans were of course the most, accounting for more than half, but there were also many doctors from England, Austria, Italy and other countries, and the only pity for John was that none of the French came.

The absence of the French meeting made him feel a little unsatisfactory.

In the first half of the 19th century, France was the center of the medical community, and they first attached importance to the work of the practical yàn room, and also first began the clinical teaching mode, but in the second half of the 19th century, these two innovations were carried forward by the Germans. In addition, more than ten years after the Franco-Prussian War, it was not surprising that John did not come without a French surgeon.

Fifty-four people were already very satisfying to John.

The transportation is inconvenient, the surgeons do not have a high income, and even most of the hospitals in Europe are now in the emerging stage, even if the conference organized by John does not charge any money, and even has to pay some organizational fees, it is already surprising that so many people can come.

"Two operating rooms, two patient rooms and a disinfection room are open today."

In the morning, when the participating physicians poured into the surgical building, Bergman waved his hand and ordered: "Our people are divided into three parts, one part stays in the sterilization room, one part is in the operating room, and the rest goes to the ward to answer the questions of the guests!" ”

"Okay."

Without hesitation. John immediately agreed.

After a long period of training, several other doctors are now barely keeping up with Thomas, and even appendectomy is slowly starting to work, answering some simple questions is not a problem. As for some of the more difficult issues, it is natural that John will not solve them until tomorrow when the meeting officially begins.

After a pause, John frowned and said, "Professor." The conference will be held over a total of six days, the first two days will be held in the small hall of the hospital, and the last four days will be divided into groups of doctors to observe the appendectomy, which is a bit more numerous......

"yes, a little bit out of our plans."

Hearing John's question, Bergman's face became embarrassed.

John arranged for three appendectomy in the coming week, and if there were only thirty or forty people according to the original plan, they could barely take turns to observe them in several groups, but more than fifty people were too much to expect. It's simply impossible for everyone to see.

After thinking for a while, Bergman shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Forget it, let's arrange those foreign doctors first, and I will let them stay for a while while in China, and you can arrange it then." ”

As a professor of surgery at the University of Berlin, Bergmann's influence on German soil is self-evident, and it is not difficult to keep the surgeons for a few more days.

"Okay, then I'll arrange it right away."

John breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately nodded and prepared to go out.

But just as he turned around to leave, Bergman suddenly stopped him again: "John. Are you sure that Mr. Koch will be here with us tomorrow morning? “

"Of course!"

John stopped, nodded earnestly, and said, "Mr. Koch has already agreed to my request, and I went to confirm it myself yesterday afternoon, he will definitely come!" “

"Okay, there you go."

With a wave of his hand, Bergman let John go.

After John left his office. Bergman took a deep breath and a very complicated look appeared on his face.

Bergman himself did not attach much importance to John Tiyì's meeting, but when Bierrot and Liszt came from far away, Robert Koch decided to attend. Only then did he realize that things were far beyond his imagination.

Needless to say, Liszt and Bierrot were both well-known surgeons in Europe, and Koch was one of the top medical experts alongside Fewerau and others, far above their peers, and their presence made Bergman feel a lot of pressure.

This kind of occasion has always been a dream of Bergman himself.

The participation of the top surgeons in Europe, as well as Koch, who is far higher than himself, is undoubtedly a recognition of academic achievement!

But......

What made Bergman helpless this time was that although the name of this meeting was organized by the Department of Surgery at Charlotte Hospital, and the director of surgery and even the professor of surgery at the University of Berlin was him, he knew in his heart that the master of this meeting was not him, but the young boy who had just left the house!

"Alas!"

After a long time, there was a heavy sigh in the office......

……

While John was busy entertaining guests from afar on the European continent and preparing for the opening of the conference tomorrow morning, there was a person on the other side of the ocean, in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, who was also paying attention to the upcoming meeting.

William? Henry? Welch, now engrossed in the magazine in his hand.

The pathology professor had just received the August issue of the journal German Medicine, two months slower than his European counterparts. However, this is also a normal phenomenon, although the journey from Berlin to Baltimore is 20 days, but ordinary mail can not go so fast, more than a month is normal, and two months is also common. The long wait did not affect his attention to the magazine in his hand in the slightest. As an American who studied in Germany, Welch was well aware of the place of German medicine in the world, and how far American universities were compared to them, so his interest in German Medicine was constant and almost uninterrupted.

But in today's issue of the magazine, Welch read it very seriously.

"There's a John? Huntelaar, sure enough, there are four papers! ”

After reading the last paper, a shocked expression appeared on Welch's face.

He had just received a letter from Germany a few days earlier, and he had been in contact with a few friends who had studied at the University of Berlin. In my heart, my friend talked about the journal "German Medicine" that he had just gotten, and also talked about the four papers published by an American above...... This made Welch depressed that he received magazines more slowly than letters from friends, and at the same time surprised. In his memory, he couldn't remember any American physician with such great ability!

Remembering what his friend had said, Welch immediately found a small notice at the bottom of the paper about a conference to be held in Berlin in October.

"Isn't that what it is today?"

After looking at the date, Welch couldn't help but feel regretful.

Pain in the right lower quadrant, appendectomy.

Although the term appendicitis made Welch feel very awkward, it did not prevent him from understanding the meaning of this operation, so it was natural that he longed for the academic conference being held in Berlin......

"Gotta get it!"

When there was a knock on the door, a thoughtful Welch said casually, "Please come in!" ”

"Good morning, Mr. Welch."

"Good morning, Headmaster Gilman!"

When he saw the visitor, Welch immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully.

"Headmaster, is there something to do with me?"

Putting the magazine aside in his hand, Welch asked with a smile.

"Hehe, there is indeed a very important thing."

Gilman smiled, beckoned Welch to sit down, and said, "Mr. Welch, we're ready to start building our own hospital." ”

"What? It's true? ”

With a sudden shock in his heart, Welkie stood up suddenly!

Under the expression of surprise, Welch's face instantly showed a look of ecstasy. Welch had been looking forward to the day since his first day at the university as a professor of pathology, and now that he had finally heard the news that the hospital was ready to be built, how could he not be excited?

"Yes, we're ready to build."

Of course, Gilman understood this very well, and he nodded at Welch with a smile and said, "So I came to you today to discuss that after the hospital is built, there must be enough and excellent doctors to join, and I personally think that it is really appropriate to hand over the recruitment of doctors to you......"
