After a second appendectomy death at Charlotte Hospital, John went out of his way to ask Bergman for a two-week off-the-job.

The reason is simple, it was to write his first book.

Naturally, Bergman readily agreed to this request, and offered to help John write a preface. While expressing his gratitude, John also invited Bergman to be one of the authors of the book and help review the manuscript when the time came.

Because of John's special circumstances, there was no obstacle to taking a leave of absence.

However, John, who had already prepared all the materials, did not take a leave of absence to write his first book, but came to the internal medicine department of Charlotte Hospital on the afternoon of the day of his leave.

"Excuse me, in which room is Mr. Ehrlich?"

After looking at the time, John casually grabbed a doctor in a white lab coat and asked.

"Mr. Huntelaar?"

The doctor, who obviously knew John, asked with some surprise, "You are looking for Mr. Ehrlich?" He was in the innermost office on this floor...... But it should be almost time to get off work by now, and if you're looking for him, you'll have to be quicker. ”

"Thank you."

John nodded immediately and walked briskly towards the consultation room at the end of the hallway.

When he came to the door of the innermost examination room, John did not immediately reach out and knock on the door, but first took a deep breath, tidied up his clothes, and confirmed that there was no problem before knocking on the door gently.

"Gotcha! Get! ”

"Please come in!"

A deep voice rang out, and John cautiously pushed the door open.

Taking advantage of the still bright light, John saw the doctor behind the door for the first time. The man was about thirty years old, of medium stature, and of a rather ordinary appearance, the only thing that stood out was his soft, thick hair. It fluctuated on the top of the head like a wave, coupled with the rather delicate face and indifferent temperament, a thick bookish atmosphere suddenly came to the face!

"Is that Mr. Ehrlich, please?"

Under the inquiring gaze of the other party, John said in a respectful tone: "I take the liberty of interrupting, I'm John?" Huntelaar, it's a pleasure to meet you. Mr. ”

"Am I Paul? Ehrlich ...... Mr. Huntelaar in surgery? ”

The doctor in the consultation room was stunned for a moment, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he quickly stood up in surprise.

As a physician at Charlotte's Hospital and an associate professor at the University of Berlin Medical School, Ehrlich certainly hasn't heard of the name Johann Huntelaar. In fact, the name has been one of the focal points of Charlotte Hospital for a long time recently, whether it is the publication of four papers in the first issue or the academic conference held later, which has made John's reputation at Charlotte Hospital famous. Naturally, Ehrlich also noticed the surgeon, who was much younger than himself. And, to be honest, he was very interested in John's theory of surgical sterilization.

After the two got to know each other briefly, they looked at the time and John simply got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Ehrlich, are you free tonight?" ”

"Tonight?"

Raising his eyebrows, Mr. Ehrlich shook his head after a moment's thought, "It's not much to do tonight......"

"If you don't have anything else to do for the evening, why don't you have dinner together?"

Without waiting for the other party to ask, John invited with a smile.

"Uh......"

For this sudden invitation, Ehrlich was stunned for a moment.

He had just guessed several reasons for the other party to find himself. But Ehrlich couldn't imagine why this up-and-coming associate professor of surgery suddenly wanted to invite him to dinner. And the two have just met. It was brought up immediately before he even had a few words of greeting, which surprised Ehrlich!

John, of course, saw the other party's doubts, but he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Ehrlich, I wonder if you have read my paper on blood types?" “

"Of course I did!"

As soon as he heard this, Ehrlich's eyes lit up.

"As you can see, I'm doing research on blood in addition to surgery."

Hehe smiled. John said softly, "And I just saw one of your papers, which is about dividing blood cells into acidic, alkaline and neutral......

"Oh......"

When he heard this, it dawned on Ehrlich.

After receiving his M.D., in addition to his position as a physician, Ehrlich worked as an assistant to Professor Frerich on dyes and tissue staining. In research. He divided dyes into acidic, basic, and neutral, and correspondingly, the particles of blood cells were divided into the same three categories. The names of the so-called eosinophils, basophils and neutrophils in later clinical practice are derived from this.

As a physician who studies blood, it's no surprise that John was interested in his dissertation.

“…… So, after learning that you also work at Charlotte Hospital, I can't wait to talk to you. ”

Looking at Ehrlich, who had already understood, John said with a very sincere expression.

After getting the answer, Ehrlich naturally had no reason to refuse, and it was a happy thing to get acquainted with such an excellent doctor as John, so he nodded and smiled: "This is my honor, Mr. Huntelaar, please wait a while, I will pack my things first......"

……

For John now, he had little interest in suddenly finding a normal person to have dinner with, even if that person had already achieved what he remembered.

But the person in front of him is definitely not an ordinary person.

At the end of the 19th century, the University of Berlin Medical School was indeed the place with the highest concentration of top talents in this era, and in addition to top physicians like Bergmann, there were many famous figures in history. Especially Robert? Koch, in addition to his own future Nobel Prize, his student and subordinate Behring won the first Nobel Prize even before him. Another of his students and subordinates was awarded another Nobel Prize in Medicine the third year after him......

That person is the young doctor in front of you, Paul? Ehrlich.

Perhaps the name Ehrlich is far less famous in history than Pasteur and Koch, and far less famous than Liszt in the hearts of surgeons, but in John's heart, this physician who is not too famous now is definitely not inferior to any of his contemporaries!

Since Pasteur created the theory of bacteriology, physicians have come to realize that many diseases can be caused by microorganisms. So Pasteur became a symbol in the hearts of the French, and Koch, who discovered the tuberculosis bacillus, was pushed out by the Germans to fight against Pasteur.

After several polemics between Pasteur and Koch, microbiology became one of the most remarkable disciplines, and also led to the great development of the whole medicine.

The advent of vaccines has brought Pasteur to the pinnacle of life, and at the same time, it has also made people seem to have found a way to treat these invisible little things. But in the end, they discovered that the so-called vaccines only prevent, not treat. Then, by chance, several of Koch's students discovered the antiserum that "fights poison with poison", and then pioneered immunology......

With the discovery of diphtheria serum, Behring won the first Nobel Prize.

In the process, actually Paul? Ehrlich also made a lot of efforts, but it is a pity that Behrin not only kicked away the Japanese Kitasato Shibazaburo, but also kicked Paul away? Ehrlich, the Jew.

However, these methods still cannot control the infection of the bacteria.

So Paul? Ehrlich made up his mind and began to search for the "magic ball" in his heart, wanting to kill the bacteria in people's bodies. Eventually, he invented the historical famous "606" and was eventually criticized for the drug's great toxicity, and eventually died of alcoholism......

Can you imagine how surprised John was when he came across the name from a magazine a few days ago and corresponded to the Nobel Prize winner in 1908?

Paul now? Ehrlich, who is in his early thirties and has not yet worked under Koch, is working as a physician and associate professor at Charlotte Hospital, and just three years ago, he has demonstrated great potential by discovering the acid-base neutral classification of blood cells.

So when John was about to start "inventing" antimicrobial drugs, he immediately thought of this big guy...... (To be continued......)
