The first weekend of early November is the day of the annual medical congress in Germany.

For the whole year, it was the largest, most attended and most important academic conference in the German medical community. That's why every time this happens, the best doctors in Germany gather in Berlin...... Of course, it cannot be compared with the academic conferences of thousands of people in Europe in later generations, and even if the German medical community raised this conference to a high level, the final number of participants in previous years was only one or two hundred, and more than half of them were local doctors in Berlin.

For physicians at the end of the 19th century, it was quite difficult to attend academic conferences.

The main reason is, of course, the backwardness of the transportation conditions, the horse-drawn carriages are not suitable for long-distance travel, and the comfort of the trains is also very poor and rickety, especially for long-distance travel. The long-distance journey referred to here is two or three hundred kilometers, not thousands of kilometers after more than a hundred years. Secondly, communication was also inconvenient, most people had to rely on letters to communicate, and the telegraph was too expensive for ordinary physicians. In addition, the income of doctors is not high these days, and if they go out just to attend an academic conference, this cost is not affordable for ordinary people.

And at the end of the day, not all physicians are interested in academic conferences.

In both Europe and North America, there are only a handful of doctors who can make a living on the income of medical treatment, and most of them are struggling to make ends meet, just like other ordinary workers. For example, John's old friend Conan Doyle graduated from the old and famous Edinburgh Medical School, but after graduation, he could only run to work as a doctor on an ocean liner, and later had to rely on the income from writing novels to support his life. It is conceivable that the economic conditions of other doctors are not well-off, and there are naturally not so many people who come to attend academic conferences......

However, the number of people who signed up today made the organizers overjoyed!

So on the first day of the conference, when Staff, the surgeon from Charlotte Hospital, came to the venue, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "Tsk, there are really a lot of people this year, I'm afraid there are nearly three hundred people, right?" ”

"Three hundred and two, to be exact."

Taking a deep breath, Professor Bergman said seriously: "It is also the most attended class in recent years, and it can be said that it has set a small record...... Oh, and by the way, it is said that more than two dozen physicists even applied to participate in the conference this year, but they were ultimately rejected. ”

Staff's gaze flickered a few times in succession, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I think, I'm afraid most people are coming for Mr. Huntelaar this year, right?" ”

"Well, that's what I thought, too."

After a moment of silence, Professor Bergman nodded with some emotion.

The only thing that can attract so many doctors to Berlin is what interests them or that benefits them. For example, aseptic techniques and local anesthetic techniques that are of interest to surgeons can lead to appendectomy for more patients, and so on. And in the past year, the physicians who have been able to have such a big appeal, except for John? Outside of Huntelaar, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a second person!

If you do the math, it's actually quite scary.

The world's first blood bank was established, vascular anastomosis that could change the course of surgery, and of course, more importantly, a complete theory of infectious diseases!

As early as his arrival in London, John presented his theory of "his own" infectious disease in his speech, and in order to enhance his persuasiveness, he mixed in many future discoveries: for example, he proposed that malaria was transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, and that cholera was transmitted through the digestive tract and was treatable......

The theory of cholera was then experimented in Hamburg by Ehrlich and Koch, which included thoroughly cleaning the city, isolating infected patients, controlling and disinfecting water sources, not drinking raw water, cooking food, and rehydrating patients......

In the midst of the cholera pandemic in Hamburg, John's theory was most perfectly confirmed!

Those who know a little about cholera know that with John's theories, the incidence of the cholera epidemic in Hamburg has dropped dramatically, and those who have already contracted cholera have been rescued by the combination of rehydration therapy and sulfonamides and other drugs. This can be seen by comparing the mortality rate of patients, compared to the previous epidemics, the mortality rate of Hamburg has decreased significantly!

So when the conference organizers announced John? When Huntelaar was going to attend the conference and was going to give a presentation at the conference, many people immediately moved to Berlin, so that a record of more than 300 people was set. As for the physicists who want to participate, that's another story......

As a professor of surgery at the University of Berlin, Bergmann knows the truth.

Today is the first day of the conference, and seeing the pomp and circumstance at this time, Bergman can't help but sigh at John's influence now, especially this time the cholera in Hamburg has made him famous. You must know that in terms of the economic and health environment of Europe in this era, mainstream diseases such as cardiovascular disease have not yet emerged in the future, and the most threatening ones are various infectious diseases. In addition to the white plague tuberculosis, several cholera epidemics have changed the hearts of Europeans, so it is understandable that the Germans will be important in Hamburg.

"Professor, John is here!"

Bergman sighed in his heart when Stave suddenly touched his shoulder and whispered a reminder.

"Oh?"

Professor Bergman's heart moved when he heard this, and he quickly looked up.

Sure enough, John walked in at the gate not far away, and beside him was Ehrlich, who had just arrived in Berlin. As soon as the two appeared at the door, they immediately became the focus of attention, and the crowd surrounded them. Not many people knew John in the whole of Germany, but there were many in Berlin. He was known to the doctors at Charlotte, to professors and lecturers at the University of Berlin. As for Ehrlich, he was not unknown, he was already famous at the University of Berlin, and later became famous because of the emergence of antitoxin serum, and many old friends came forward to greet him.

For a while, the gate became bustling.

However, the veteran Bergman shook his head and said helplessly: "Let's go, let's go and help, and quickly rescue the two of them." It's almost time, and they'll be coming again in a moment, Mr. Koch, like this...... Not so good! ”

No matter how much John's popularity rises, it is impossible to surpass Koch in Germany.

So subconsciously, Bergman wanted to help keep John a little more low-key. Staff, of course, understood what he meant, and the two of them stepped forward together and after some effort, they finally freed John and Ehrlich from the crowd.

After finding a place to sit, John himself breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could come to his senses, Professor Bergman frowned and whispered, "John, there are a lot of people coming for you today, are you ready?" ”

Professor Bergman asked, of course, about John's speech.

"Don't worry, Professor."

Smiling slightly, John also lowered his voice and smiled: "For this afternoon's speech, I have been preparing for a long time, and I will definitely surprise you ......again." )
