It wasn't until almost noon that John tidied up his office.

A desk, three chairs, and a bookcase, that's all his office of just a dozen square meters, and the most difficult thing to organize is the bookcase, which John has bought hundreds of books and magazines in the past two years.

"Hoo ......"

Sitting down in his chair after tidying up, John let out a long sigh of relief. Looking around at his simple office, a feeling of satisfaction quietly rose in his heart.

But just as John was about to enjoy the feeling for a while, he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside.

"Please come in!"

Adjusting his sitting position slightly, John said aloud.

Thomas walked in with Paul and Robert, who had just entered the internship, and as soon as they entered the door, the three of them looked at John's office curiously, and Robert couldn't help but pout: "It's so small, it's far worse than Professor Bergman's!" ”

After listening to Robert's words, the other three were speechless.

What is the identity of Professor Bergman? Who is John?

Having a separate office as soon as you get your PhD isn't enviable enough? You know, six or seven other surgeons and many interns in the Department of Surgery at Charlotte Hospital are crammed into two offices.

After everyone congratulated John, Thomas stood in front of John's bookcase curiously and scanned all the books, while Paul asked with a wink and a smile. "John, seeing that you are about to receive a patient, when will the surprise you promised us last time come?"

"Haha, don't worry, it's this afternoon!"

Thinking of the call from Baron Cole yesterday. John smiled in a very comfortable mood.

"Huh?"

Just as Paul was about to ask what the surprise was, Thomas suddenly pulled out a copy of the latest Lancet magazine from John's bookcase and asked, "John, how come you have a June Lancet here?" It's strange to me, it's almost the end of the month, and I haven't seen this magazine......"

"Professor Bergman just gave it to me this morning."

John also felt something strange in his heart. Hurriedly explained. It takes two weeks at most for the magazine to travel from London to Berlin, so it stands to reason that Thomas should have seen this issue a long time ago!

While there was still some time before lunch, Thomas casually opened the magazine and looked at the catalog.

Ever since John said he had sent several papers to The Lancet and London had written back to say they had been accepted, Thomas had been following the publication. He knew better than Paul and Robert how much the papers would affect John, so it was no surprise that Bergman had given him a separate office, which he knew had shown to Bergman.

However, after only a few seconds of flipping through the catalog, Thomas exclaimed in surprise: "God! The Lancet is so bold that it squeezed four of your papers into one issue of the magazine?! ”

"What?"

Hearing this, not only Paul and Robert opened their mouths wide. Even John was shocked and hurriedly walked over. He had expected that all four papers would be published, but it was a bit beyond his imagination to concentrate them in the same issue!

John first sent a paper on disinfection specifications to The Lancet, although the content was a bit advanced, but he had a good grasp of proportion, and did not add the things he wrote to Bergman, which were basically the reasons for the use of gloves and other items and the operation procedures for disinfection, etc. These contents can be verified with real yàn to verify their effect and effect. Therefore, it is natural that the review of the editors of Lì will not cause too much controversy.

As for lumbar puncture and anesthesia. They are absolutely groundbreaking papers, and The Lancet is even more unlikely to let them go!

But......

These four papers add up to 30 pages!

A thirty-page paper, no matter which journal it was placed in the era, meant that John alone would have taken up more than half of the pages of the issue!

It's a personal session!

"Is The Lancet really so bold? It seems that my invitation was indeed correct! ”

After taking the journal in Thomas's hand, John confirmed that there were indeed four papers of his own, and this thought immediately rose in his heart!

And on his side. Thomas also smiled with a complicated expression: "John, I'm afraid you're really going to be famous now......"

……

On the other side of the Channel, London.

When Edward plucked up the courage to knock on the door of Mr. Fass's office, the editor-in-chief of The Lancet was patiently flipping through the new issue of the journal that was about to be published, and his preoccupation was enough to make people understand. Why, under the pressure of many medical journals in Germany, The Lancet can still gain a place.

"Please come in!"

After hearing the knock on the door, Fass spoke loudly without raising his head.

Pushing open the door and walking in, Edward said with some trepidation, "Good afternoon, Mr. Fass." ”

"Good afternoon, Edward."

Raising his head slightly, he glanced at Edward from the top of his glasses, and Fas smiled and asked, "Is there something to find me?" ”

Fass had a good impression of Edward, who was also a graduate of the Edinburgh Medical School, and this young man was both diligent and studious, and had a natural passion and talent for the profession of editing, which was very valued by Fas. The other two editors under his current staff, Graham's ability is good, but his judgment of the manuscript is often affected by personal factors, and David is not reliable in all aspects, so Fass is now focusing on the young Edward.

"Sir, it's still about me going to Berlin!"

After hesitating for a moment, Edward gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Huntelaar has just sent me another letter inviting me to Berlin again, so ......"

"To Berlin?"

After hearing this request again, Fas's brow couldn't help but furrow.

Naturally, Fass had known about Mr. Johann Huntelaar's invitation to Edward to Berlin, and in fact he was quite in favor of the decision at first. To know. In the last six months, the surgeon at the University of Berlin has published five papers in The Lancet, all of which are groundbreaking papers of great weight, which is something that has never been done before for Faas!

What's even more terrifying is that in Faas's opinion, the future development prospects of these five papers are very good!

The paper on human blood group may not focus too many people, but according to Professor Filton, it will be one of the hot topics of research in the future. But the words of the other four. Even Fas, who is an editor, can see the great value contained in it! In particular, the sterilization norms and local anaesthesia are sure to cause a sensation in the surgical community, at least Professor Liszt of the Royal Society, who has read the paper on the sterilization protocols, has made it clear that he will send at least two surgeons to Berlin to learn specific disinfection techniques......

Such a heavyweight author is naturally worthy of the desperate pull of The Lancet magazine!

So before the final issue of the journal in June, after a fierce debate within the editorial board, Fass finally decided to arrange the publication of four papers by Mr. Huntelaar in the same issue, and finally decided to publish four papers by Mr. Huntelaar in the same issue, and to push the Berlin surgeon to the top of the board in one fell swoop!

Of course. This is not just to curry favor with Mr. Huntelaar, but also to create a sensational effect and increase the influence of The Lancet!

But......

As for Edward's visit to Germany, Fass later hesitated.

Mr. Huntelaar's invitation to the editor of The Lancet to Berlin was certainly not intended for the purpose of exchanging feelings, and it is therefore debatable whether or not the invited Edward was directly allowed to pass. After all, this kid has just graduated a few days ago, and he is really inexperienced.

In this respect, Graham is undoubtedly much more suitable.

It's just for the old Graham. Mr. Huntelaar did not seem to pay much attention to it, and instead wrote two or three letters in quick succession inviting Edward, a pure newcomer. This made Fass feel a little strange in his heart.

And if they were to send them, according to the arrangement of Mr. Huntelaar's letter, it would take about a month, and the costs would add up to at least forty or fifty pounds, which would be a considerable burden for The Lancet!

That's pounds!

You know, the average British person in this era had an average annual income of only thirty or forty pounds. It's almost six or seven hundred marks, and because of the huge gap between the rich and the poor, the income of ordinary people does not reach this level.

Whether to spend this "huge sum" of money, Fass is still a little uncertain.

Seeing that Mr. Fass was still hesitant, Edward couldn't help but feel a little anxious. For a newcomer like him. Mr. Huntelaar's invitation was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity, especially in the two letters before and after, and there were some things that the other party faintly hinted at that made him extremely excited, and he was absolutely unwilling to give up such a great opportunity!

Therefore, without much hesitation, Edward gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Fass, in the letter I have just received, Mr. Huntelaar promised to cover all the expenses of my stay in Berlin, so that we only need to pay for the travel between London and Berlin...... All I need is the cost of the ferry and train tickets, you don't have to worry about the rest! ”

"Really?"

Hearing Edward say this, Fas's eyes lit up!

If, as the boy suggests, Mr. Huntelaar was willing to pay for all of Edward's expenses in Berlin, he would have spent at least twenty pounds less, which seemed to Fass quite reliable.

"Yes, sir."

Gritting his teeth, Edward nodded earnestly.

Of course, Mr. Huntelaar's letter did not make such a promise, only that he would entertain the guests from London, but Edward was looking forward to this trip to Berlin so much that he still had a few dozen pounds of savings if he couldn't, and he would not hesitate to put it in when the time came!

"Okay then."

After pondering for a moment, Fass also nodded ruthlessly and said, "You and Mr. Huntelaar determine the specific time, and then I will have someone book you a ticket to Hamburg...... Well, I heard that Mr. Liszt is also sending someone to Berlin to investigate new disinfection and anesthesia techniques, you can contact them, and we can go on the road together, so that everyone can have a ...... during the journey" (to be continued......
