On the afternoon of June 21, 1885, the entire surgical department of Charlotte Hospital was in a stir.

The reason for the sensation is, of course, the new issue of The Lancet, which contains four articles by John Huntelaar at the same time! After lunch, when the news came out of the mouth of the intern physician Robert Prince, there was no doubt that there was an uproar!

Four papers!

Although no one has seen the content of these four papers except for Bergman and Robert, and some people don't even know which country's magazine the Lancet is, but there are very few people who can publish articles in professional journals these days, let alone publish four articles at once?!

At this moment, the other doctors who were originally not convinced by John's exclusive office suddenly did not dare to speak out.

Although there was no internet, and even there were only one or two new gadgets like telephones in each building, the gossip of people at the end of the 19th century was no worse than that of later generations, and soon the astonishing news broke out of the doors of the surgical building, spread throughout Charlotte Hospital, and quickly rushed into the campus of the University of Berlin......

……

After lunch with his friends, John locked himself in his office and looked at the letters he had been accumulating for nearly a month.

More than a dozen letters, which were barely processed until the end of the day.

Twelve or thirteen of them were about human blood types, and most of the letters came from various countries throughout Europe, and to John's surprise, two of them were from the United States! And compared to the previous months, the main stream of the letters was not all criticism and scolding, at least rigorous academic discussion, and feedback from a Viennese surgeon who carried out blood transfusions according to John's principle of blood type pairing.

This subtle shift. What a surprise for John!

Later, when he found out that the blood group theory was not as great as he imagined, he knew that he might indeed be a little too far ahead and chose the wrong entry point. But now it seems that perhaps most physicians at this stage cannot quickly accept this theory due to the limitations of their level, but a small number of elites accept it. And started working on it without any problems!

"And from now on, more people will notice."

Looking at the remaining three or four letters, John thought to himself with a slight smugness.

He never imagined that, in addition to the letter written to him by The Lancet, Joseph Liszt, whom he had met two years earlier, would also write an enthusiastic letter, in which he spoke highly of his complete set of disinfection and infection control measures!

That's quite a big thing!

With Liszt's current prestige in Europe, if this letter had been deliberately leaked by John, the influence of his paper would have skyrocketed to a terrifying level in an instant!

Of course, someone as reserved as John would not have done that. However, Liszt's letter said that two British surgeons would be sent to Berlin to learn sterilization techniques, and by the way, to see if the local anesthetic drugs were really as good as the paper said, which was basically the same as the content page of the letter.

What everyone Liszt came to learn, can it still have much influence?

You know, with the gradual popularization of high-pressure steam and alcohol disinfection technologies in major European cities, the effect can be said to be very significant, so the market for disinfection theory is also getting bigger and bigger. Originally, there were some old-fashioned surgeons who laughed at Liszt's theory of "little creatures" from time to time, but this time was becoming less and less.

Relative. Liszt's prestige is also gradually reaching its peak!

John knew that it would be nearly a decade before Liszt's prestige would reach its peak. This gave him the title of Empress and the President of the Royal Society, but with the appearance of his little butterfly, Liszt was likely to reach that position earlier...... Of course, it is possible that his appearance will lead to another outcome, but that is not something that John needs to worry about......

The only thing that made John a little regretful. Liszt seems to have completely forgotten about the self who had spoken to him for a few minutes, at least not at all in the letter.

"However, he must not forget jì in the future, right?"

Rubbing his chin slightly, John pondered secretly, and then heard a knock on the door outside.

"Please come in!"

Put down the letter in your hand. John Lang shouted.

The little nurse Helen pushed open the door and said respectfully to John: "Mr. Huntelaar, two workers have come outside, saying that they have sent you a batch of valuable items, and you need to sign for them in person!" ”

"Valuables?"

John's mind was still in the letter, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and then his heart was overjoyed.

Baron Cole's cargo has arrived!

"Thank you, Helen!"

Standing up happily from his chair, John smiled at Helen, who was a little restrained, and said, "Take it easy, although my identity has changed a little now, you don't have to do this, right?" It's fine as usual...... Let's go and see this big surprise! ”

"Yes, sir."

Pursing her lips and smiling, Helen's expression suddenly relaxed.

But after John strode out of the office, Helen couldn't help but pout behind his back. John said this easily, but when Helen heard that this guy had published four papers in one sitting and had an office of his own, it was impossible for her attitude towards him to return to her previous state......

Two workers were waiting at the door of the surgical building, and after John stepped forward to identify himself, one of them respectfully handed over a list and said, "Mr. Huntelaar, this box of goods was sent to you by Baron Cole, and we have specially explained that you must be careful during transportation, please check it!" ”

"Yes, that's it."

After roughly counting the items on the list, John, who was excited, nodded again and again. After saying that, John took out two marks from his pocket and handed them over, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard, take this money and have a drink when you go back." ”

"Ah, thank you, thank you sir!"

When the leading workers saw the two marks, they were surprised and delighted, and thanked them again and again. No matter how lucky the two of them were, they couldn't earn these two marks in a hard day, and John's generosity naturally made them overjoyed.

"Mr. Huntelaar, what's in this box?"

After the two workers left, the little nurse Helen approached with some curiosity. Not only him, but in just a few minutes, a surgeon and two other little nurses also came over and looked at the box curiously. Needless to say, having people bring things to the hospital is definitely going to be used in the work. And thinking of the news heard today, everyone is naturally full of curiosity about the goods in this box.

"It was a surprise!"

Blinking, John pretended to be mysterious and laughed: "Helen, help me see if Dr. Thomas's operation is over, if it's over, let him come to me!" ”

"Yes sir."

Pursing her lips, Helen immediately ran to Thomas.

John beckoned a male colleague who was watching the excitement to help carry things, don't look at the box is not big, but the weight is not light. As soon as he finished moving, Thomas arrived with Paul and Robert.

"John, is this what you call a surprise?"

Looking at the four large boxes on the ground, Robert asked loudly with his eyes lit up.

"That's right, that's them!"

John smiled, patted the box lightly, and said, "Don't look at them, they're only so little, but they're not low in value at all!" If the retail price is followed, the contents are worth at least a thousand marks...... If you take into account their uniqueness, I don't think there is any problem even to say that it is worth three thousand marks! ”

"What?!"

After hearing this number, everyone in the room was immediately shocked!

The tuition fee at the University of Berlin for a year is more than three hundred marks, and Thomas's salary for a year is not as good as that of John at this time, only more than six hundred marks, and such a small box is worth a thousand marks?

What's inside?

Gold?

Just when the whole room was curious, and eagerly waiting for John to explain, Professor Bergman's majestic voice suddenly came from the door: "Mr. Huntelaar, may I also see what this surprise is?" (To be continued......)
