Chapter 41: Eruption
One bad news was followed by another piece of good news, which made John's mood suddenly improve a lot.
Radio is undoubtedly a very eye-catching invention in this era, especially in the fields of navigation, warfare and commerce, and has a very broad prospect. Of course, for the traverser, the invention and perfection of radio also means that another important industry will also be born - radio, television and other media industries!
Knowing this, John rejected the idea of anyone else getting involved.
Whether it was Morgan and others, who had long discovered the value of radio, or the Admiralty, who was interested in testing the prototype, the elder Huntelaar firmly refused with John's consent. You can fund it if you want, but don't think about it if you want to take the money into the shares, the Huntelaar family has invested six figures in it, but they don't plan to give up their interests at this time, at least like AC, after having a commercial foundation......
……
As judged by the elder Huntelaar and others, the attack on Heinz General Hospital did not cause much of a stir.
The police station came and went through the motions a few times, but there was no more news, and for all reasons, Thomas did not publicize the matter with much fanfare. Two days later, several gang members who were hospitalized were discharged on their own, and a few days later the number of security guards at Heinz General Hospital doubled, and the matter was rarely talked about again.
In New York in this era, this kind of thing is all too common.
In fact, it was only a few days ago that John paid attention to it, but soon he was not interested in dwelling on it, because as the time entered June, many of the seeds he planted in the second half of last year suddenly exploded on a large scale as if they had been fertilized and watered!
June 1889 was a month that could not have been more uneventful in history.
But in this dull month, from Europe to North America. From Berlin, London, and Paris to New York and Toronto, papers were released in May and June!
This John is actually a little surprised, although he threw out many new "discoveries" at the end of last year, but according to the original estimate, it will not be until the end of this year that others may get the corresponding results. After all, it takes time to conduct research and accumulate cases. And the current level of technology is really low......
But John made a mistake in his calculations.
First of all, he underestimated the physicians of this era, although most of the physicians and surgeons were in a mess, running around every day to earn a little money for consultations, and even many people still stubbornly clinging to ancient theories such as the theory of humoral and using outdated techniques such as phlebotomy, but at the same time, there is no shortage of doctors in Europe and North America who have undergone a new education. The Germans were the absolute best in this regard, and many German physicians with laboratory training could easily accept Johan's ideas; The second word. John also overestimated the discipline of the physicians of this era, and in his habitual opinion, in order to prove, even just to expound a certain theory, it is necessary to accumulate at least dozens of cases before talking, right? When enough cases have been accumulated, it takes time to write them out and send them to relevant magazines, and the editors have to review, process, and typeset them......
A year has been quite a short time.
What John didn't expect was. Not to mention dozens of cases, even if there are ten cases, those doctors are not willing to wait. Often, two or three or even one of them hurriedly write a paper and submit it to relevant journals and magazines. And the papers in this year are not like the future, there are all kinds of strict regulations, doctors write at will, journals publish at will, unlike future papers have to wait for a year. Sometimes it only takes two or three months or even less......
The most lively is undoubtedly the surgery that has been held for many years.
Surgical sterilization, appendectomy, and local anesthesia are not to mention, and as more and more surgeons embrace these three "new" techniques, the number of papers on them continues to rise. And with the increasing maturity of these three technologies, many surgeons have begun to try more difficult surgical procedures...... More than 100 years later, these things will be published countless times a year. Not to mention in this era that has just been proposed. However, for the surgeons of 1889, there were three other aspects that were more valued by the top surgeons: trauma debridement, blood transfusion technology, and basic surgical operation specifications!
In John? Prior to the new surgical debridement proposed by Mr. Huntelaar, surgeons rarely considered removing necrotic, inactivated, or severely infected tissue when cleaning wounds, and at most disinfected them with carbonic acid or alcohol, as advocated by Liszt and others. In the eyes of many surgeons, the focus of the new type of debridement is to clean up the wound of foreign bodies and necrotic and devitalized tissue, and then repeatedly rinse, there is nothing special, but it is such a simple change that has changed the fate of I don't know how many people - in the sixteen related papers published in May and June, almost all the statistical results show that the infection rate of patients has dropped significantly, and the cure rate is unbelievably high!
The same is true for the basic surgical operation specifications, many surgeons have spent half a year verifying the basic operation techniques in the book after listening to John's lecture and getting the "Heinz Surgery". A hundred years later, the impact and impact of the basic surgical operations on them do not need to be said at all......
As for the blood transfusion technology, which was not widely valued before, there has also been a big reversal!
If many doctors had shunned the blood group theory because of the impact of the two tragic events in Britain, it changed after the conference in Berlin. Because the one who came up with it and perfected it was John? Huntelaar, the surgeon who threw out so many new technologies in one fell swoop, was naturally taken seriously, so that in the first half of 1889, a total of eleven forty-one cases of clinical blood transfusion were written and published. The results were also quite shocking, because after strictly following the blood type matching and corresponding techniques to perform the operation, 29 of the patients who were originally bound to die due to heavy bleeding were rescued! Not only is this figure much higher than the percentage of successful delivery of cow's milk, goat's milk, alcohol, or other strange things to patients, proving the validity of the blood group theory, but it also shows surgeons the possibility of using blood transfusions to try more difficult surgeries! In fact, quite a few people are already seriously considering it......
In addition to surgery, vitamin theory, cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques, antitoxin serums and x-rays also have a significant impact.
Almost every new technology and discovery has opened up a new field, vitamin theory is a completely new system, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the previous abdominal shock method have opened a new chapter in on-the-spot first aid, diphtheria antitoxin serum and the subsequent tetanus antitoxin serum published by Ehrlich have driven countless physicians crazy, and the advent of X-ray has opened the prelude to the great development of modern diagnostic technology......
Beginning in May 1889, the medical profession began to brace like a pot of boiling water, and as more papers were published in June, John ? The name Huntelaar is finally starting to shine.
In 1889, exactly ten years before 1879.
Ten years ago, John? Huntelaar was taken away from the ancient oriental country by his grandfather and came to New York, the future center of the world, when he was just a time-traveler full of confusion; Ten years later, he is still a time-traveler, but John is no longer confused and afraid, and he has gradually integrated into this world.
Ten years can indeed change a lot of things.
Ten years later, the thing that excites John the most is not that he "invented" bicycles, sulfonamides and many novelties, nor that he made his name the focus of attention of doctors all over the world, nor did he create a huge career from Berlin to New York, becoming the top rich man in New York and even the whole United States, the most exciting thing for him is that he once again chose to become a doctor, and watched more than a hundred years later, medical technology step by step into this era......
