Chapter 4 Associate Professors

"Please come in!"

Pushing the door open with a creak, John walked in and greeted with a smile, "Good afternoon, Professor Bergman, you have something to do with me?" ”

"Oh, please take a seat."

After seeing John, Bergman immediately stood up with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Yes, I do have something to do with you...... There's nothing wrong with the ward, right? ”

"There is no problem, both patients can be discharged in a few days."

Speaking of the ward rounds just now, John's mood was particularly happy. Both patients were in excellent condition after surgery and there were no signs of infection in their wounds. And what made him even happier today was the fact that one of the patients transferred by Professor Wolfgang yesterday had finally agreed to the operation this morning, after a night of deliberation, and John was more pleased than anything else......

After the two sat down separately, Professor Bergman didn't say much, and directly handed John an envelope, and said with a smile: "John, although it delays you from getting off work, I have a good thing to find you today...... Take a look at what's inside. ”

"Uh...... Good. ”

Slightly surprised, John hurriedly opened the envelope.

There were two blank sheets of paper in the envelope, and after a general glance, John immediately raised his head and asked in surprise and joy, "Professor, what ......is this?" You're not kidding me, are you? ”

"Haha, is this kind of thing a joke?"

Seeing John's expression, Professor Bergman burst out laughing. John has always given him the feeling of being too mature, and no matter what happens, he is always calm and calm, and there seems to be very little that can move him. So after seeing John's expression today, Bergman was quite comfortable in his heart!

"But ......"

Blinking, John still asked with some puzzlement: "Professor, it's only been a few months since I got my Ph.D., and I'm going to ...... Will it be too fast? ”

"Haha. It's not too fast! ”

Bergmann waved his hand and said with a smile: "The reason why the University of Berlin has become the world's top university in just a few decades is not only because it attracts the best talents from almost all of Germany, but also because it has never been limited to age and seniority!" Being an associate professor of surgery is a matter of course for you in terms of your abilities, in fact if you are willing to stay. I'm afraid it won't be a few years before you will take my place, haha! ”

There was not a hint of amusement on Bergman's face when he said this.

In fact, one only has to look at John's work in recent weeks, Bergman, if he had decided to stay in Germany, as the influence of aseptic sterilization, local anesthesia and appendectomy gradually spread, his influence would quickly overtake his own and become a field of surgery at the University of Berlin...... No. Should be one of the bannermen of the entire medical field, or even become second only to Robert? Koch, the big bull character! And at that time, I am afraid that it will only take a year or two at most for the University of Berlin to issue him a letter of appointment again, and at the same time send himself to other universities!

The University of Berlin has never been indecisive in this regard.

In fact, not only in the medical field, but also in other disciplines, the situation is basically the same, as the top universities in the world, professors must also be the top professors. This is the motto of the University of Berlin. As long as someone has a huge influence at other universities, many of them will be poached to work at the University of Berlin. Until retirement or a more powerful character appears. And the poached professors are rarely refused, and in terms of appeal, the University of Berlin is far from being comparable to other German universities.

It was this that was well aware that Bergman finally chose to fully support John? Huntelaar, instead of forcing him to go to another hospital or university. If this kid returns to China in the future, there is no threat to Bergman. In the future, it will bring a lot of benefits to Bergman, so Bergman even applied to the school for the position of associate professor. But if the other side will stay in Germany in the future, then Bergmann will postpone the time for a year or two at most, but he will make an incomparably strong enemy!

Naturally, Bergman will not be unclear.

"This ......"

My heart moved. John didn't say anything more.

Inside the envelope was a letter of employment from the University of Berlin to John as an associate professor of surgery at the Faculty of Medicine, so at first glance, John was really taken aback!

God, that's too fast!

Johann knew that with the knowledge in his head, it was a sure thing to become a professor in the future, and because he graduated from the University of Berlin, he might even get the title of honorary professor in the future, even if he didn't work in Germany. But how could things that John's thought were the future, come so quickly?

16 years old......

No, a 20-year-old associate professor?

Pinching the letter of appointment in his hand, John couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

"Congratulations, John!"

Looking at John's stunned appearance, Bergman laughed again: "But although becoming an associate professor means an increase in status, and the salary has also increased significantly, you also have to take on the corresponding obligations." In addition to taking interns in the hospital, you have to go to the medical school at least a few classes a week......"

……

The smile on John's face hasn't gone since he came out of Professor Bergman's office!

This is an associate professor at the University of Berlin at the end of the 19th century!

In the European powers at the end of the 19th century, even an ordinary university lecturer was very valuable, let alone directly promoted to associate professor? Not to mention an associate professor at the University of Berlin? If you go back to New York in the future, as long as you throw away the title of associate professor at the University of Berlin, you will be an absolute top returnee, and you can pick a position in any school......

"Hey......

In a happy mood, John couldn't help but laugh out loud several times.

"John, what is it that makes you so happy?"

Just when John was secretly having fun, Thomas, who came out of the ward, was startled when he saw his appearance, and couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? Hehe, nothing. ”

John hesitated. Without telling Thomas the news, he smiled and asked, "How is the patient?" Can I have surgery tomorrow morning? ”

"No problem!"

Speaking of work, Thomas's expression suddenly became stern, and he handed John an examination report and said: "This is the result of our examination, and I personally think that there is no problem at all to have surgery tomorrow morning!" “

After three surgeries, John began to consciously let Thomas do some of the work on his own.

If it's for the other surgeons of this era. If he was able to discover the existence of McT's dot and pioneer appendectomy in his lifetime, he would have continued to study in this field, because this result alone would have made him one of the top surgeons of his time. But for John, it was just a small www.biquge.info of his long career as a physician.

In any way, he couldn't have spent much time on it.

Therefore, letting Thomas and others take over the appendectomy as much as possible, and even continuing the research in the direction he set in the future, became something that John had to consider from the beginning. So from the fourth patient onwards, John was ready to let Thomas go to the patient independently to do a physical examination and diagnosis. Then just check it yourself.

And......

After a brief glance at Thomas's examination and diagnosis, after a slight hesitation, John suddenly asked, "Thomas, you have been my assistant three times, and your performance is very good." If the patient's appendix is in a normal position, are you confident that you can complete an appendectomy on your own? ”

"Me? Do it yourself? ”

After listening to John's words, Thomas was first shocked, and then he was overjoyed!

Smiling slightly, John nodded, "Yes, I mean if you are the main sword." Are you confident that you will have an appendectomy? ”

John still has a lot of confidence in Thomas.

Among the three assistants. Paul and Robert were too inexperienced for John to consider letting them do the surgery anytime soon, but Thomas had been a surgeon for three years, and at least he had no problem with his hands-on ability. And in the past few months, when John was preparing for the whole process, Thomas was involved almost the whole time, and he already knew a lot about appendectomy, so after observing three surgeries. John decided it was time to give him a chance.

"Yes, I'm confident!"

Without hesitation, Thomas immediately nodded heavily!

The idea of having an appendectomy on his own had been swirling in Thomas's mind for days, but he also knew that it was John's research. As long as he doesn't speak, it's impossible for him. And in Thomas's opinion, John himself would have to do more than a dozen cases before handing over this power to others, and with Mr. Bergman waiting behind him, the professor of surgery must have been eager to do it for a long time......

But what Thomas didn't expect was that John was ready to let himself try after just three patients?

John raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "Thomas, I'm serious about this question!" ”

"My answer is also serious!"

Taking a deep breath, Thomas replied in the same deep voice.

If you look at the operation process alone, appendectomy does not seem to be difficult, of course, he is actually not difficult, and after seeing John's operation three times, Thomas naturally has full confidence in his heart!

After staring at Thomas quietly for a long time, John suddenly laughed: "Okay, if I wait for the patient to check on the patient to make sure that your judgment is correct, then tomorrow's operation will be done by you, and I will be your assistant!" ”

"Really?"

After hearing this, Thomas's heart thumped!

"Of course it's true."

Hahaha, John winked at Thomas and whispered: "Seize the opportunity, Thomas, while Professor Bergman hasn't proposed it yet, if you have a good operation tomorrow, I will let you do a few more ...... during this time" (to be continued......)
