"Ashamed, ashamed!"

After walking out of Edward's office, John couldn't help but muttered several sighs of shame in his heart, and finally suppressed the urge to turn around and take back the two papers.

The weight of these two papers is too heavy.

The three major discoveries of physics at the end of the 19th century, X-rays were made in advance by John and Roentgen, radioactivity had just appeared in the second paper, and the electrons that hit Dalton's atomic theory were mentioned by him at the end of the second paper! Although it is only in a speculative tone, after giving the general principle inference and experimental plan, it should be a matter of course that the electron is discovered.

In real history, these three major discoveries were concentrated in two or three years.

Roentgenium's X-ray begins and electrons end with a very close connection. In three years, physics and even chemistry have had the strongest impact at the turn of the century. The invention of X-rays was advanced by several years because of the advent of John, but the discovery of radioactivity and electrons was delayed in the absence of accumulation, and no related papers have been published until now......

The weight of John's two treatises can be imagined.

However, now, as in the original history, X-ray has begun to have a tendency to be abused in clinical practice, which its "inventor" John absolutely cannot tolerate. And in the absence of clinical evidence, convincing others requires enough prestige and achievements – not just in medicine, but also in physics. In the medical field, John's current reputation is enough, but in physics he is only known as the discoverer of X-rays.

So after thinking about it, John decided to release the radioactivity and electrons together!

The three are inherently closely related, and it is not very difficult for John, who had spent a lot of time studying the physical systems of this era, to "solve" these two problems. All that is needed is a theoretical basis in memory and a relatively complete laboratory......

……

When John returned to the office, he had no intention of dealing with other affairs for a while.

At the end of the day, he couldn't figure out if it was time to publish a second paper. If it is not presented, the lack of evidence in the first paper may be difficult to convince those doctors who are bent on becoming famous or making money, then it is likely to be the same as in history. X-rays will be used in large quantities for treatment. But once he did so, he had to be prepared to be questioned by physicists, who had many supporters of atomic theory these days. And even if electrons are discovered in the future, he is a surgeon who makes a major discovery in physics, and there are three in a row, this kind of achievement is almost as good as Helmholtz......

"Gotcha! Get! ”

Just as John was weighing in on the gains, there was a knock on the door of his office.

"Please come in."

With John's invitation to enter, Thomas pushed the door open and walked in. When John looked up, he immediately saw that behind Thomas were two gentlemen—a tall man in his early forties. There was also a short man about the same age.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen."

Although there were some doubts in his heart, John immediately stood up and greeted him. He knew one of the two, the tall man Jeff, the current professor of surgery at Columbia Medical College? Professor Sloan, and he didn't know the other.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Huntelaar."

Without waiting for Thomas to make more introductions, Professor Sloan stepped forward enthusiastically and smiled: "Your Heinz School of Medicine has been in the limelight recently!" Tsk, students who have already received their bachelor's degrees. This quality is absolutely the best in the world. ”

"Hehe, that's why we only recruited nine people."

After squeezing Professor Sloane's right hand firmly. John replied with a smile.

For the entire American society, the news of Heinz Medical School's enrollment is naturally like a wave in the sea, and it can't shake up much wind and waves at all. But for the top medical schools that keep an eye on what's going on in medical higher education, it's big news. For example, Hopkins, who is working hard to build the school, Professor Welch has said hello early on to visit the school in October, and Columbia College, where John was invited to be a professor of surgery. It is also one of the schools that closely follows the dynamics of Heinz Medical School admissions. On the one hand, everyone is in Manhattan and will be competitors in the future, and on the other hand, Colombia wants to see if Mr. Huntelaar's conditions can really be met, and John turned down the invitation because Colombia did not agree with his proposed admission standards.

Don't want to talk about this topic too much. John turned to a smile and asked, "Professor Sloan, is there any obvious change in the fact that Columbia Medical School has now officially merged into Columbia University?" ”

In the first half of this year, Columbia College and the College of Physicians and Surgeons officially completed their merger.

Like Harvard Medical School, the College of Physicians and Surgeons had reached an agreement with Columbia College in 1860 to become the official medical school of the latter, but it had always been isolated from the university. With Harvard University's firm reform of the medical school, such as raising the admission threshold and increasing the number of hours in school, the quality of Harvard University's graduates is improving rapidly, which has attracted the attention of universities in the United States. So after several years of preparation, Columbia College finally completed the final merger of the medical school this year.

John is certainly optimistic about this outcome.

Although in the final analysis, this is still the traditional medical education model, but it has raised the entry threshold and teaching management, and it cannot be compared with Heinz Medical School and Hopkins, which is still in preparation, but it is also a kind of progress after all.

But......

Professor Sloan seemed to have a different opinion on this, and he shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "I don't see much of an impact for the time being, but it's a bit unpleasant that a lot of things in the medical school are restricted now......"

"Gentlemen."

Seeing the two chatting warmly, Thomaston next to him turned a ****: "Please allow me to introduce Ellie to Mr. Huntelaar?" Mr. Scolari, who came on behalf of the East Coast Surgeons of America. ”

"Oh, sorry, sorry!"

After hearing this, Professor Sloan immediately reacted and apologized to the other party again and again. This Mr. Scolari was actually the first to find him, and asked him to help introduce him to Mr. Huntelaar, but he didn't expect that after he came, he only cared about chatting with the other party, and forgot the real protagonist of today.

Fortunately, this Mr. Scolari seemed to have a good temper, and stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face: "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Huntelaar!" ”

"It's my pleasure, sir."

Smiling slightly, John formally shook hands with the other party.

It's not the first time John has heard the name East Coast Medical Association. A few years ago, when he had just returned to China, he was sent a letter inviting him to join and participate in a large-scale academic conference. However, after a brief consideration, John quickly declined the invitation. Therefore, the purpose of Mr. Scolari's visit today can be guessed without thinking.

Sure enough, it didn't take long after sitting down for the other party to explain his intentions.

Taking a deep breath, Mr. Scolari solemnly said, "In view of your great achievements in the field of surgery, we are eager for you to join the East Coast Surgeons Association, and with your current achievements and status, I believe that you will be able to take up a leadership position as soon as you join......

Balabala, Scolari promised John a bunch of benefits.

These benefits made Thomas and Sloan next to them envious when they heard it, you know, although the various associations in this era are very loose and their influence is very weak, but after all, it is a good place to brush up on prestige, especially those top surgeons still value it.

But......

Without much thought, John shook his head and smiled, "I'm sorry, Mr. Scolari, I don't have the idea of joining a larger physician association for the time being. ”

"Huh? Why? ”

Hearing the other party's unhesitating refusal, Mr. Scolari suddenly became a little anxious.

However, without waiting for the other party to ask more, John simply waved his hand and smiled: "To put it simply, I don't have much energy and time to participate in more academic activities!" And for now, I'm more interested in joining or organizing a Manhattan-area surgical organization first, so I can only say sorry for your invitation......" (To be continued. )
