CHAPTER XXXVII
"Fame, it's a good thing."
After watching the Heidelberg family close the door and leave their office, John couldn't help but shake his head.
If it weren't for the name of the inventor of sulfonamides, I'm afraid that the owners of Heinz Hospital would not be enough to make the Heidelbergs change their attitude. But as soon as they heard that the doctor in front of them had invented sulfonamide, the couple's attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn, and they soon agreed to go back and give it a try according to the "prescription......
"Sir, can I get you the next patient?"
Just as John smiled wryly, the nurse pushed open the door and asked carefully.
"Absolutely."
John nodded, but immediately stopped the nurse who was about to leave and asked, "Wait a minute, how many patients do I have this morning?" ”
"There are only two at the moment."
The nurse blinked and said seriously, "But according to the usual situation, you should have three or four patients this morning, so there is still plenty of time." ”
"Hmm...... Good. ”
Nodding a little stunned, John couldn't help but take out his pocket watch and take a look.
Sure enough, almost an hour has passed!
It was not easy to examine and diagnose little Heidelberg and convince his parents, but John did not expect it to take nearly an hour. But John also likes this feeling, if it were in his last life, I am afraid that he would have seen several patients a long time ago.
"Sir, this is Lady Helena."
Didn't make John wait a little longer. Miss Nurse soon led the second patient of the day in.
Helena, if you only listen to the name, is undoubtedly very beautiful, but the strong contrast after seeing the person who came made John a little surprised. This is a middle-aged woman in her forties. He is about 1.5 meters tall, and his fiery red hair stands out. Perhaps because of her age, the woman's skin is rough and loose, and her figure is unusually thick, especially the waist is as thick as a water tank, which makes people feel breathless at first glance.
Of course, for physicians, there is no such thing as beauty or ugliness for a patient. John soon smiled and said, "Please be seated, Lady Helena." ”
"Would you mind if I recorded today's conversation?"
As he pulled out his pen, John asked as before.
"Of course I don't mind."
Twisted in his chair. Lady Helena's eyes widened at once and she said, "But...... This gentleman, in fact, I am not sick, it is my husband who is sick, and I am here today to buy some sulfonamides for him to use. ”
"Smack!"
After hearing this sentence from Lady Helena. John's right hand froze in mid-air. The pen he had just taken out also fell on the table with a click......
……
"How's it going this morning?"
After walking into John's outpatient room, Thomas asked with a smile.
"Not good."
Leaning on the chair with a soft body, John smiled weakly and bitterly: "There are only four numbers in total, two of which are for others to buy medicine, and the other two are also for aspirin and sulfonamides...... Has this always been the case? ”
"Pretty much."
After a slight groan, Thomas also smiled bitterly.
It has to be said that half-price sulfonamides and aspirin are too tempting, especially as more and more people know the news. Thomas has even found cases of medical practitioners posing as patients to buy medicines! After all, the price of medicine at Heinz General Hospital is indeed very attractive, even lower than the cost of taking medicine from Heinz Pharmaceutical. If you can prescribe drugs in large quantities, it is still very profitable.
These days, the hospital has coped with quite a few such people.
"It's going to get better."
Seeing that John was a little lost, Thomas quickly comforted him: "Although most people come for medicine, after all, some of them are really for medical treatment." And I think that as the reputation of our hospital grows louder, the situation will definitely improve in the future. ”
"Well, hopefully that day will come soon."
John also knew that Thomas's words made sense, and quickly put his depression aside.
took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock, John simply stood up and stretched and smiled: "It's almost time, let's go, let's have lunch together!" ”
"It's fine."
Thomas, of course, would not refuse John's invitation, and immediately agreed with a smile.
The physician's cafeteria at Heinz General Hospital is probably the most enviable place for outsiders in the entire hospital right now. The taste of the food is indeed a general level, but its oil and water satisfy all the employees and make outsiders envious: three meals are served regularly every morning and noon, bread, milk, coffee, meat, eggs, vegetables and other foods, and the hospital staff can eat comfortably for only a few cents. In the eyes of everyone, this is definitely a special benefit that Mr. Huntelaar offers to his employees.
After simply asking for some food, John and Thomas sat down at a small table.
Heinz General Hospital is not large now, and the total number of people is only 100, and in order to ensure the work of doctors and nurses, the hospital stipulates that other support staff must stagger the meal time with them, so there are only a dozen people in the restaurant at this time, which seems to be extremely quiet.
"What are you going to do this afternoon?"
After taking a sip of coffee, Thomas asked a little nonchalantly.
According to John's own arrangement, he usually goes out to the clinic on Monday and Friday mornings, and goes to the operating room on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, but there is no other time to arrange. Thomas knew that John had a lot of things to do, so it was naturally impossible to take the initiative to arrange more work for him, so he had nothing to do at this time and asked casually.
"In the afternoon, let's write something in the office."
While eating lunch, John replied equally nonchalantly.
Now that he has decided to put his main energy and time in the hospital, of course John will not easily violate it, but judging from the current situation in the hospital, there are really not many places where he is needed. The outpatient situation has been seen in the morning, and as for the operating room, Thomas and others are there, and there is basically no need for John for appendectomy. And he didn't have much interest in mixing it again, thinking about slowly perfecting the basic techniques of surgery over a period of time.
As for what I wrote in the afternoon, it was naturally related to a patient not long ago.
However, Thomas obviously didn't break the casserole to ask the end, and soon provoked a lighter topic, and the two chatted while eating.
After lunch, Thomas went about his work, while John returned to the office.
Let's take a look at the letter from Miss Brown, which doesn't have much of importance other than one from Conan Doyle. Conan Doyle's letter surprised John, because the weight of it heralded that she could enjoy a new Sherlock Holmes novel.
But before John could open it, Miss Brown knocked on the door of his office, walked in, and whispered, "Sir, there's a gentleman out there who is eager to see you......
