Chapter 38 Initiation
Over the course of a week, John left the professors at the medical school with a bunch of research assignments.
In fact, it is not very accurate to say that it is a task, after all, when recruiting these top talents, John made it very clear: in addition to completing daily teaching tasks, professors can arrange their own research direction and content, and the university is only responsible for daily approval and funding. Therefore, in this "showdown" research project, John did not use coercive means, but used his own theory to persuade the other party.
Of course, the results are very satisfying.
The end of the 19th century was a period of great development in the history of medicine, and it was also a period of transformation from traditional Western medicine to modern medicine, but it was too far from the level of modern medicine at the beginning of the 21st century. For example, in the university textbooks of the early 21st century, the simplest medical theories such as the ABO blood group system, the internal environment and homeostasis did not even appear in this era.
In simple terms, it focuses on the fields of anatomy, physiology, immunity, and infectious diseases.
Needless to say, anatomy and physiology are the foundation of modern medicine; Immunity and infectious diseases are the focus of global medicine at the moment, especially the latter, which is the top priority of the entire medical community in this era of infectious diseases - and it is for this reason that Pasteur and Koch can become the top medical masters of this era. So over the course of a few months, John handpicked a series of research projects and handed them over to the scientists at the School of Medicine who have some of the best laboratories in the world. For example, the modified electrocardiogram technology is one of the important contents.
At the hospital, John didn't favor one over the other.
At the end of the 19th century, the medical profession had a very shallow understanding of many diseases, and many more were not even discovered. These are all very important research results. So John consulted a large number of contemporaries, compiled a lot of information about diseases, and gave them to Osler and Thomas. Before the real rise of chemical drugs and many therapies, he believed that the most important task was to have a broad and precise understanding of various diseases, which would bring great prestige to Heinz General Hospital.
As for the surgical ...... where John died.
"From today onwards, I will allow you to conduct your research freely!"
In the office of the surgeon. John? Huntelaar said aloud to the surgeons, "You can march into the abdomen, you can march into the chest, you can even march into the cranial cavity!" All diseases, all body cavities, can be the direction of your research and development! If you need financial support, you can apply to Thomas, as long as it is within a reasonable range, we will strongly support you! ”
"Boom ......"
As soon as John's words fell, there was a commotion in the conference room.
Except for a few with calm faces, most of the surgeons looked surprised, and then their expressions became surprised and delighted.
In the past few years. The development of surgery at Heinz General Hospital can almost be described as explosive. The world's leading technologies such as appendectomy, surgical sterilization, and local anesthesia, as well as the basic surgical operation techniques that are widely used throughout the hospital, make the survival rate of surgical patients far higher than that of other hospitals in New York City, and it is also a clear advantage over major hospitals in Europe. Coupled with the hardware conditions that are ahead of the times, almost all the rich and middle class in New York subconsciously choose to come here when they encounter situations that require surgeons.
Unfortunately for surgeons, the scope of surgery is very limited.
In addition to daily abscess management and trauma management, everyone is very skilled in appendectomy, but there is very little progress in other new surgeries. Mr. Huntelaar seems to be very conservative. The set-behind of appendectomy standards has always been self-contained and has not only failed to perform new surgeries himself. There is always a faint stop from the other surgeons. Therefore, from the establishment of the hospital to the present, except for conventional surgery and appendectomy, the surgery department of Heinz General Hospital has basically stopped, and has not marched to more body cavities and organs, which is obviously lagging behind other hospital surgeries in the United States and Europe.
With the exception of a very small number of people, most surgeons are incomprehensible.
This is a time when surgical techniques are changing rapidly. Almost every week and every month, new theories and ideas are published, and surgeons are keen to use new weapons such as hemostats, local anesthetics, and surgical sterilization techniques to try to overcome those surgical procedures that have plagued people for a long time! As a result, several papers pop up in the journal every month on the latest research on surgery to treat a disease, and these studies have become the best means for surgeons to make a name for themselves.
Heinz General Hospital has lagged behind in this wave. Rather than continuing to study those surgeries, Mr. Huntelaar focused first on the refinement of basic surgical techniques, and later began to take surgeons to study new concepts such as blood transfusion techniques, surgical nutrition, and shock. While it is acknowledged that these theories and techniques may be important for surgery, ......
"The value of a surgeon is to do surgery after all!"
After the meeting ended, Thomas couldn't help but sigh: "Especially in our surgery, the main force is highly trained young doctors, who are full of enthusiasm for using surgery to treat those diseases, and these two years have been suffocating. ”
"Hehe, but their foundation is very strong, isn't it?"
Smiling slightly, John replied nonchalantly.
In the future, which surgeon will not be exposed to those "high-end" surgeries after this year's basic training? Let's just say that John himself, how long did he be an assistant to his predecessors in his last life? In this era, surgeons even have appendectomy as a "high-end" operation, and if they don't train well, how can John be relieved to let them toss patients?
But now, the time is finally ripe.
After all, surgery is still a practical discipline, and other John dare not say that when it comes to the basic theory of surgery, no other hospital in the world dares to say that it is stronger than Heinz General Hospital! Except for specific surgical procedures, the theoretical foundation of the whole surgical science has been laid by John, and all that remains is to apply these things to specific surgical procedures.
anesthesia, blood transfusion, disinfection, basic operating techniques......
Thanks to John's efforts, these basic surgical techniques have been perfected to a very high level, fully reaching the level of the next thirty years. For the study of surgical metabolism and nutrition, shock and perioperative theories, Heinz General Hospital is the undisputed pioneer. Although the results of the research have not yet been released, John is very satisfied with the efforts of his colleagues.
So in the face of Thomas's somewhat tangled gaze, John said with a smile: "Don't worry, our surgical accumulation is unmatched, once it is activated, it will inevitably accumulate steadily, and it will attract the attention of the world." ”

I'm so sorry, I just found out that chapter 37 was sent twice.
I've been doing something I've never done before, and there are very few updates, so I'll wait for me for a while, thank you. (To be continued.) )
