Chapter 68: A Weekend at Mr. Huntelaar's House

"Well done, young man!"

After getting John's confirmation, even Koch's face couldn't help but show a look of amazement, and he nodded again and again: "I thought you had a lot of ideas at the beginning, but I didn't expect that in just over half a year, you really succeeded...... Amazing, really amazing! ”

"Uh, thank you."

After listening to Koch's compliment, John's face couldn't help but blush.

Bergman wrote in his paper that autoclave sterilization was John's discovery, so it was natural for a big guy like Koch to think of John's brief exchange with him. But only John himself knew in his heart that this technique was really original to Bergman, and he just advanced the time a little earlier.

Fortunately, before he knew it, it was already dark, and Koch couldn't see John's face clearly.

Just as the big man was about to talk to John again, a white man about thirty years old trotted in front of the two and said respectfully, "Sir, the carriage is ready." ”

"Oh, good."

After hesitating for a moment and glancing at John regretfully, Koch smiled and said, "Mr. Huntelaar, it's unfortunate that I have a date tonight that I have to attend, and I hope we can talk again next time I have the chance...... I'm on the second floor of this building, so you're welcome to come to me at any time! ”

"Thank you very much, sir, I will definitely go if I have the chance."

With a slight movement in his heart, John immediately smiled and said.

"Goodbye, then."

Nodding his head, Koch turned to leave, and the young white man behind him looked at John in surprise for several times before he strode after him. He has been following Koch for more than two years, and he has never seen him speak so politely to a young man, and even directly invite the other party to his office!

But John didn't feel anything about it. He only bowed slightly again, and said loudly, "Goodbye, sir, I wish you a pleasant evening......

……

Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, it's Sunday again.

On the premise of pre-agreement, the three of Thomas came to John's living room again before nine o'clock in the morning. Robert seemed to be very sleepy, and after sitting down on the sofa, he muttered with a bitter face: "John, you are so far away from where I live that it will take at least an hour to walk all the way...... I'm so tired! ”

John and Thomas, one is a rich man with a lot of money, and the other has worked in Charlotte Hospital for a few years, so naturally they have the capital to ride fashionable bicycles, but Paul and Robert do not have such good economic conditions, they are both bitter American students, and of course they don't dare to sit in a rental carriage or something. Usually come to John's house with legs, which is really hard.

Hehe laughed twice, and John beckoned Hans to bring coffee to everyone.

With John's current financial resources, it would be easy to equip Paul and Robert with a bicycle, but not to mention that he never thought of doing this, I'm afraid even if he bought two of them, it would not be difficult to accept!

At least for now, we're just friends.

Regardless of where the relationship between the people will go in the future, it is necessary to maintain the purity of this friendship now. This was understood by others, and by John. So the best way is to keep it as it is, and the occasional complaint is also considered fun in life, isn't it?

"Ahem, gentlemen!"

After everyone rested for a while, John coughed lightly twice, smiled and said, "The main reason why I invite you here today is to discuss one thing, which is about the disinfection measures before, during and after the operation. I've basically thought it all out, and now I need to discuss it with you. ”

After speaking, John picked up a stack of blank paper from the table next to him and handed it out to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a paper I just wrote, please take a look at it." ”

"What? Another paper?! ”

After hearing John's words. Robert couldn't help but exclaim!

The other two also looked at each other, stunned.

No wonder they were so surprised, just around the New Year, John had already published three papers, two of which were completely independent, and how long had it been since he wrote another one?

Isn't that scary?!

And, is this really a paper? Why is this thickness so exaggerated?

"Why don't you take a look at it first?"

John's face was calm, and he smiled faintly after making a gesture of please.

"Whoa......

The crowd, who had begun to get used to John's style, did not answer, and each took the blank paper and looked at it.

Seeing that everyone's attitude was very serious, John nodded with satisfaction, and leisurely picked up his cup and tasted the slightly bitter coffee. In addition to some of the things he explained to Associate Professor Fogel that day, he also focused on writing down some of the essentials of the actual operation: for example, the detailed steps of the six-step handwashing method, such as the precautions when disinfecting the patient's skin with iodine tincture, and the interaction between the surgeon and the assistant during the operation...... Even in order to make this material more intuitive and vivid, he also used his solid sketching skills to draw a detailed demonstration drawing.

In a word, it is completely according to the standards of the posterity!

Since he decided to do his best from the beginning, this is John's firm belief, and he believes that since he has put so much effort into doing those real things, the conclusive evidence will definitely convince the three people in front of him!

Sure enough, Robert, who had just flipped through two or three pages, raised his head in surprise and looked at the central figure with a smile on his face: "John, these things...... Have you really verified them all? ”

"Of course!"

Nodding without hesitation, John said seriously: "Almost all of it was done in the bacteriological laboratory of the school, and Associate Professor Fogel was still a witness when I did it...... He is also full of praise for these measures and has a positive attitude! ”

As soon as Professor Fogel also agreed with John's theory, the eyes of the others suddenly changed again.

If it were just John's paper, you might still be a little skeptical, after all, the gap between what is written in it and what surgeons are used to today is too great. But as a professor of bacteriology, Fogel's approval added a heavy weight to John's paper!

Although surgeons are the main force in the matter of disinfection, an associate professor of bacteriology is certainly not ordinary!

"I think I can give it a try!"

After just thinking about it, Thomas couldn't wait to make his decision.

Unlike the other two who had not yet started their surgical careers, Thomas had already worked under Bergman for three years and had already accumulated considerable experience. And these contents are actually already in line with them by John. It's just that it's not as detailed and precise, and now just imagine what John wrote, and he feels completely different from what surgeons do today!

Rigorous and professional!

Isolation gowns, gloves, masks, hats, standardized disinfection methods......

All of them subverted Thomas's perception of the work of a surgeon, and also made his heart beat violently!

To put it bluntly, Thomas was at an age where it was easy to accept new things, and it would be difficult for other older surgeons, even those who were at the forefront of their time, such as Bergman and Liszt, to accept such radical improvements. Because these improvements will not only add a lot of money to the cost of surgery, but also increase the workload of surgeons!

With such a complicated disinfection step, how can surgeons who only need to wash their hands with disinfectant before surgery like it?

"John, can you give us a detailed explanation?"

Putting down the paper in his hand, Paul asked. He and Robert still have a month to go to Charlotte Hospital for an internship, and they haven't even had serious contact with a few patients, so they don't have an intuitive feeling for many of the contents of the paper, so they naturally hope that John can explain them in more detail.

"Of course no problem!"

Naturally, John would not refuse this request. He nodded with a smile and said, "Actually, if you don't object." I think that in the future, we can all get together on weekends whenever we have time, on the one hand, to summarize everyone's work in the past week, and on the other hand, to discuss the doubts in our hearts...... Now that we're a team, there's definitely a huge benefit to doing that, isn't it? ”

"Not bad."

After a moment of deep thought, Thomas nodded solemnly.

The more I came into contact with John. The more Thomas felt that he was a little out of step with his train of thought, and this frustration was difficult for him to accept, who had always thought he was already a good surgeon. But he is usually very busy at work, and only has enough time on weekends to discuss it with John......

Clearly, Paul and Thomas, in addition to Thomas, understood what John meant. After glancing at each other, they nodded at the same time and said, "We agree!" ”

People are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away!

If it weren't for John's appearance, all three of them might have become excellent surgeons and contribute a little bit of their meager efforts in the long history of medicine, but after seeing John, a guy with terrifying talent, they may not be able to accept that they are so mediocre and ordinary!

If you don't learn more, what's the matter?

Seeing that all three of them agreed, John was also very happy in his heart. He had long heard that scientists in the 19th century loved to get together, not only to buy houses together, but also to meet and discuss together on weekends, inspiring each other's geniuses! John was quite envious of this, and kept wondering if he would make one out of it and leave a good story in history in the future......

Looking at today, there should be a drama!

"Then it's decided!"

While the iron was hot, John smiled and said, "In the future, if everyone has time, they will all come to my house, and Mr. Hans will definitely entertain everyone warmly......"

"Haha......"

Remembering that Mr. Butler is not so good at his craft, everyone else is happy.

In a relaxed and happy atmosphere, the "Weekend at Mr. Huntelaar's House", which was talked about by countless physicians in the future, was born, and from then on, it began to step on the stage of history...... (To be continued......)
