Chapter 49: The Second Paper
By the time I got back from the ball, it was getting late.
After entering the house, he originally planned to say something to his grandson, but when he saw the tiredness on John's face that could not be concealed, old Huntelaar swallowed the words back into his stomach, nodded and said, "John, are you tired today?" Go up and wash up and get some rest early. β
"Okay, you can get some rest early, too."
Nodding, John went upstairs.
John wouldn't have been able to attend a ball, but it would have been a hassle to deal with the curious guests. Later, John didn't even have a few words with Anna before he was entangled by groups of guests who came to hear the news. Everyone wanted to hear the principle of abdominal impact from him, and see his live demonstration with their own eyes, and after a few hours, it was nothing physically, but mentally tortured......
But after washing up, John was surprisingly not tired in bed.
It was just a mental resistance, and when John really relaxed, the unnatural state dissipated.
After lying in bed and thinking about it for a while, John began to think seriously about today's events.
In front of Anna, she said that she would publish the Heimrick abdominal shock method, on the one hand, it naturally meant to show off in front of beautiful women, and on the other hand, because since it had been shown in front of so many people, and there was also a Dr. Philip from Charlotte Hospital present, it was better to publish it honestly as soon as possible.
It's just a matter of time.
But now, John considered another very strict question: "Now that Heimrick's abdominal shock method is about to be available, do you want to write out the cardiopulmonary resuscitation technique as well?" β
Here we are talking about cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Of course, it is not the whole set of complex theories and processes of later generations, but the two techniques of artificial respiration and extracardiac compressions that John used to save people in Central Park. Arguably. Compared to the narrower Heimlik abdominal punches, they are the key to first aid on the spot. It's a technology that can really save countless lives!
And what's more, they're so simple that ordinary people can implement them independently with a little training!
"That's embarrassing......"
Lying on the bed thinking about it, John couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If it were a simple description of Heimrick's abdominal impingement and cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques, and a simple explanation, it would be a simple thing for John, and the principle of Heimrick's abdominal percussion method is relatively simple, and most physicians will definitely be able to accept it. However, cardiopulmonary resuscitation technology is slightly more troublesome, because it involves a lot of knowledge points about respiratory physiology and cardiopulmonary circulation. Quite a few have not yet been discovered.
"Do you want to use the reason you explained last time?"
John used to think that he used to explain a qiΔ in ancient Chinese medical books and the Bible again in Central Park, but now that he thinks about it, maybe it is a good idea. First of all, the technology will be published, its accuracy will be proved in practice, and the principle will be explained a little, so that more doctors can explore it......
"But for now, let's write Heimrick's abdominal punch first."
Anyway, now that he was still in good spirits and couldn't sleep for a while, John simply sat up from the bed. I picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the title of the paper - "Exploration of the method of abdominal impingement method in the treatment of acute respiratory tract foreign body obstruction".
On cold winter nights, the dim light in John's bedroom remained on until late at night......
β¦β¦
After a week's rest, John went to the hospital on Tuesday morning after eating.
Although it was the New Year in three days, old Huntelaar didn't say much. After all, my grandson is still in school, and he will definitely continue to work hard before he gets his doctorate. But after listening to John tell about his time at the University of Berlin for more than a year, the elder Huntelaar always had a feeling of unsteadiness in his heart that John could get a doctorate in two years at most. This was a big surprise to him!
Look at John's progress and think about his cousin at the ball yesterday. Old Huntelaar had insomnia last night.
Originally, in his plan, it would take four or five years to get an MD from the University of Berlin. And for children of John's age, the so-called ideals are nothing more than the impulse to change at any time. So that long was enough time for John to change his mind and get back on track with his life.
But now, old Huntelaar is a little uncertain.
Johan's talent for inventing zΓ o was certain, and when he arrived in Berlin he was able to make a new type of light bulb while studying, which made the elder Huntlaar reaffirm this.
But again, his talent in medicine is unquestionable!
As John's only relative in the world, the elder Huntelaar knew very well that his grandson had never studied medicine before. The missionaries of that country in the East were nothing more than charlatans, and it was impossible for the boy to teach John anything, and when he arrived in New York, he had no access to the relevant knowledge. In this way, Johan's astonishing appearance at the University of Berlin Medical School can only say one thing - his talent in medicine is no less impressive!
"At least it's much better than his business talent."
Thinking of the bicycle and building block factory that John had completely let go of since his invention, old Huntelaar's brow gradually wrinkled.
At least judging from the current appearance, John really has no interest in managing the factory or the family business, and he is not even willing to touch it, which makes old Huntelaar very troubled. It is conceivable that if such a character is really engaged in business, he will definitely suffer countless losses in the future. For example, Joshua, who is now managing the flying pigeon company, although old Huntelaar didn't find anything, but he knew that after a long time, no matter how good the relationship between the two was, there would probably be problems!
"Is this kid really fit to be a doctor?"
For the first time since John chose medical school, a thought arose in old Huntelaar's mind that he would never have thought about before......
β¦β¦
"Good morning, Miss MΓΌller!"
"Good morning. Mr. Huntelaar! β
"Good morning, Mr. Schneider!"
β¦β¦
After entering a familiar hospital. John only felt refreshed, as if the laziness he had accumulated after more than a week of rest had dissipated in an instant. I feel kind to everyone. But what made him strange was that everyone looked at him with strange eyes, as if he had gone on vacation for more than a week and everyone didn't know each other.
"What's going on?"
Muttering strangely, John knocked on the door to Professor Bergman's office.
"Please come in!"
With a "squeak" the door to the professor's office, John looked inside, where his teacher was tidying up the things on the table. As a professor of surgery, Bergman had a very bad habit of having to read a book or material for a while before leaving each night, and then make a mess of his desk before leaving. So the first thing I do when I come in the morning is to pack my things.
"Good morning, Professor!"
After entering the door, John greeted politely.
"John?"
After hearing his familiar voice, Bergman quickly turned his head, staring at John with a pair of eyes, and stopped collecting the papers.
Somewhat uncomfortable to see by Bergman's burning gaze, John looked down at himself, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he asked a little puzzled, "Professor, is there any problem?" β
"John, you saved a lady yesterday at Baron Cole's estate?"
After looking at John sideways for a long time. Professor Bergman asked suddenly.
"Huh?"
John was slightly stunned, and then immediately understood what was going on today, and immediately the face of a man appeared in his mind - Dr. Philip, who was the first to save people.
That being the case, John had nothing to hide. He nodded generously and said, "Yes, professor, yesterday I met a lady whose airway was blocked by food, and I used an abdominal shock method to help her solve the problem." β
"Abdominal pounding?"
Bergman's expression became solemn. Nodding his head, "John, can you tell me about your approach?" β
"Absolutely."
John smiled and nodded. I demonstrated how I did it that day, and briefly talked about the principles and precautions of this method. Subject is a senior professor of surgery. It's not those ordinary people who can't even tell the difference between the esophagus and trachea, but it makes John's explanation a lot easier, as long as a little Bergman understands it thoroughly.
"Brilliant idea!"
Bergman opened his mouth after hearing this, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence.
Subconsciously, Bergman wanted to find something wrong with John's words, because it was hard to believe that a young man who had only been with him for a month had made another astonishing discovery so soon......
The new disinfection technology in front of him was enough to surprise him!
But after pondering and pondering, Bergman found that he really couldn't find anything wrong with him! The principle and operation of this abdominal impact method are so simple, and it can even be said to be clear at a glance, Bergman can only nod in the end and make his due evaluation.
But it was a strange feeling that slowly crept into Professor Bergman's mind.
It is natural to be a teacher when a student is outstanding, but if a student is too good, and he has just followed his own study and achieved two amazing results in succession, it is difficult to say what the teacher's heart is like. This is because John voted another article to The Lancet, otherwise I am afraid that Bergman would have felt this feeling even more deeply at this time.
Of course, at this time, John would not see the change in Bergman's heart, and after receiving the teacher's compliment, he bowed down with a slight smile and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Professor." β
Looking at the outstanding student in front of him, Bergman took a deep breath, nodded and asked, "John, have you ever thought of writing a paper on this wonderful technique?" I had already sent out a paper on disinfection technology, and the magazine informed me that I would publish it in the first issue of the new year...... If you're fast enough, you might be able to publish it in the same issue! β
"Professor, I've actually written it."
After hesitating for a moment, John simply took out the paper he had written the night before. The content of Heimrick's abdominal punch method is not complicated, and it can be explained clearly in a thousand words, so it took John more than an hour to get it done last night.
"Already written?"
Bergman was a little surprised, so he hurriedly took it and looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes, the writing is quite good, I think it can be sent directly to the journal "German Medicine"...... Do you need me to give you the address of the magazine, John? β
"Thank you, Professor."
John nodded, silently ignoring the teacher's suggestion.
Although John had a better impression of The Lancet in his heart because of the memories of his previous life, he certainly did not have any opinion since Bergmann himself had published it in German Medicine. In fact, due to the strength of the Germans in the field of medicine, the influence of the Germans was even stronger in this era.
Seeing John's nod, Bergman immediately wrote down the address of the editorial office of "German Medicine" on a piece of paper, and also wrote a shortened letter of recommendation and handed it to John, and at the same time sighed softly: "I really can't imagine that you have only been here for more than a month, and you are already about to publish your second paper...... Congratulations, John! β
In Bergman's view, the previous paper in which he signed the first author was John's first, and today this is the second. It's just that what he doesn't know is that in John's mind, although this is also his second paper, the first one is the one sent to The Lancet!
In a certain way, the two can be regarded as agreeing...... (To be continued......)
