Chapter XIII First

Early Monday morning, I had to go to work again.

For the current six-day workday, John is still a little difficult to get used to, and a day's rest is always not enough for him, just do something and pass. If you want to go to a meeting with friends or a party or something, it is even more tragic for the poor transportation conditions of this era......

Riding all the way to the hospital, John had just arrived at the door of his office when he saw an unexpected person.

"Good morning Edward, why is it so early today?"

Greeted with a little surprise, John smiled affectionately.

"Mr. Huntelaar ......"

"Call me John."

Without waiting for Edward to say something, John smiled as he opened the door, "There's no need to be so polite between friends...... Did you come so early today to find me something? ”

"Uh...... Yes. ”

After following John into the house, Edward said with a wry smile: "I want to tell you today, I may have to go back to London early......

"Huh? Didn't I book you a ticket? ”

John was stunned when he heard this, and his brow immediately furrowed. He had booked a ticket for August 15 to allow him to stay in Berlin for a while longer, on the one hand, to let him see more of his surgery and make a deeper impression, and on the other hand, John also wanted to be able to have a good relationship with the other party on these days and prepare for a certain plan next year......

Why are you going back to London all of a sudden?

Pouting helplessly, Edward then smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fass sent me a telegram asking me to return to London this week, so I have rebooked my ticket for tomorrow and must leave Berlin!" ”

"That's ......"

After listening to Edward's explanation. It dawned on John.

After a slight groan, John smiled and said, "It's a pity, but since it's a need for work, then I'll have someone take you to the train station tomorrow...... By the way, how about having dinner together tonight? ”

"Okay."

Naturally, Edward agreed to John's invitation without hesitation.

"Gotta get it!"

The two were chatting to themselves. There were suddenly two knocks at the door, and John turned his head to see that he was happy: "Mr. Hines?" ”

"Good morning, Mr. Huntelaar!"

The editor of German Medicine stood in the half-hidden doorway, greeting with a smile on his face, but a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes when he saw Edward still in the room.

"Please come in, please come in!"

Originally, I was still wondering why Hines suddenly came, but John suddenly thought of today's date, and his heart suddenly moved, and he immediately understood the other party's intention.

It's August 4th!

"Good morning. Mr. Prince. ”

"Good morning, Mr. Hines."

When Hines entered, the two editors greeted each other with good mornings.

Seeing that Hines was carrying a leather bag and was silent after entering the door, Edward immediately smiled very knowingly: "Mr. Huntelaar, I will first go and talk to Dr. Thomas about the last operation." ”

"Okay."

Blinking, John couldn't help but smile.

This Hines is also stingy. Obviously, he was looking for himself to send something, but when Edward was there, it was like nothing. For fear of being looked at by the other party.

Sure enough, after Edward left, Hines immediately took out a few brand-new magazines from his bag and put them on John's desk, and said with a smile: "Mr. Huntelaar, our August issue has been printed, so I'll send you a few sample copies first...... Your essay is right at the top. Easy to find. ”

Looking at John's expression, Hines was very proud in his heart.

This was the advantage of the location, Edward had to send John's paper back to London in the form of a letter, and then had to wait for the editor or experts to review it, but Hines saw the procedure and the results with his own eyes. "German Medicine" can completely skip this step and publish John's paper directly!

The intermediate link is omitted, and the efficiency is naturally high and scary!

"So fast!"

Even though he had already guessed, when he saw the journal "German Medicine" on the table, John couldn't help but exclaim in his heart!

John immediately picked up a book and flipped through it, and sure enough, the first two papers in the journal were his, one was about the anatomy of the appendix and the pathological study of acute appendicitis, and the other was the diagnostic methods and diagnostic criteria for acute appendicitis. The name Huntelaar stands out in the directory!

After John looked through it, Hines smiled and said, "Mr. Huntelaar, our editor-in-chief is very satisfied with the quality of your paper and appreciates the clinical studies you have conducted...... In particular, Mr. Byrne is very interested in your idea of building a real room in the hospital, so I would like to invite you to our editorial office. ”

After Professor Bergman approved a room as a real room, John set up the "laboratory department".

The conditions are unusually rudimentary, and there are only two microscopes in the entire real room, and some of the simplest chemical instruments and consumables are currently only assisting John and them in the auxiliary diagnosis of acute appendicitis - using a microscope to judge changes in the number of white blood cells.

John did not hesitate to write about this in his second paper.

And not only that, John simply advocated in the paper the importance of this kind of real room inspection in the future hospital, and very sure that in the near future, real rooms like his will be expanded to other departments and fields, until every hospital will have one in the future, and every department will need him......

Well, Mr. Huntelaar is determined to give himself another "first" title.

The first hospital in the world had a real room in 1886, and John brought it forward by a full year, and in fact the conditions were really similar, just a simple house, a microscope, and some of the simplest equipment.

However, after listening to Hines's invitation at this time, John's brows furrowed and asked, "Go to your editorial office?" When? ”

"Is that okay this week?"

Seeing that John's expression didn't seem to have any expectations, Hines chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid I won't be available this week!"

Without hesitation, John shook his head and rejected Hines's offer.

This weekend John had made an appointment with Mr. Hollins to visit his dye factory, and if the situation was good, John tried to settle the matter as best he could. And Thursday is Anna? On Brister's birthday, John had promised Mrs. Brister to be a guest at home, so he even planned to invite him for three days to give himself a good rest.

In other words, John only had time from Monday to Wednesday.

He has a lot of work on his hands now, especially in the operating room and the hospital room, he has to keep an eye on Thomas and the other three, for fear that they will make some fatal mistakes. If you go to German Medicine, it will take at least half a day, and John really doesn't have much interest in meeting that Mr. Byrne.

“…… Okay, let's go back and make an appointment. ”

After being rejected by John, Hines was not discouraged, nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's talk about when Mr. Huntelaar is free......"

"Hey, that's right!"

Before Hines finished speaking, John suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly looked through the magazine in his hand again: "Mr. Hines, which page is the news I ask you to help publish?" ”

"Right on the last page of the second paper!"

After thinking for a moment, Hines hurriedly gave an answer.

John hurriedly found the last page of the second paper, and sure enough, at the bottom of this page was a small tofu block article - although the word count was very small, it was not as good as a concise case report, but looking at the contents, John couldn't help but be amused.

In the first half of October this year, the Department of Surgery at Charlotte Hospital in Berlin will hold an academic symposium dedicated to sterile sterilization techniques, local anesthesia techniques, and appendectomy!

To put it bluntly, this is what Johann intends to advertise in German Medicine and The Lancet!

After reading it, John thought happily: "This thing may be the first academic conference advertisement in history......" (to be continued......
