Chapter Seventy-Five: Serious Consideration

In the operating room, which had been prepared long ago, Bergman saw not only his subordinate Thomas, but also two other young Americans, Paul and Robert.

In the end, the two did not listen to Thomas's persuasion and went back to school.

Perhaps Thomas thought he was doing it purely well, lest Professor Bergman turn around and take out his frustration on the two of them, but Paul saw it as a good opportunity to show his firmness. After reading those articles written by John, the anesthetic effects of lidocaine, and the design drawings of Huntelaar Hospital in New York, they already knew where their future would be......

"Good morning, Professor Bergman!"

However, after seeing the arrival of the professor of surgery, Paul and Robert were still a little nervous, and even Thomas himself was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet respectfully.

"Good morning, gentlemen."

Just a somewhat complicated glance at Thomas, Bergman waved his hand and said, "Other things will come later, I just want to see the real effect of this local anesthetic that John said!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Subconsciously turned their heads to look at John, and Thomas and the others showed obvious joy in their eyes.

Everyone is either a surgeon or a person who wants to become a surgeon, and naturally knows very well how exciting a drug that can limit the effect of anesthesia to a specific part is expected, so seeing Professor Bergman's impatient expression at this time, they all understand that John's strategy is half the battle.

"Thomas, you're here to do it!"

Under Bergman's gaze, John naturally stood in the position of command, and whispered: "Paul will do the topical anesthesia, and Robert will do the local infiltration anesthesia......"

But what everyone didn't expect was that Professor Bergman shook his head. He took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "No need, I'll come in person!" Thomas, try on me! ”

"Huh? Are you here in person? ”

Bergman's request made everyone stunned for a while.

"What? You guys don't have confidence in this drug? ”

Seeing that the four people seemed a little surprised, Bergman's face sank and asked.

"Of course not."

John hurriedly nodded and smiled: "Thomas, you can try it on Bergman's professor, and do the surface anesthesia of the eye first." Do a local infiltration anesthesia of the arm muscles again! ”

Since Bergman wants to be the object of the truth himself, then John will naturally not be polite, or even ask for it! Only by letting him experience the power of local anesthetics most directly, the lower the resistance to its promotion in the future, and the more hopeful it will be to get his consent and let John and them do what they want......

……

By the time Thomas returned to his office at noon, Bergman's spirit was still a little trance-like.

Looking at the cut on his left arm, Bergman didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, and seemed to be a little lost. It seems to be full of surprises, but more of a dazedness!

As a surgeon, Bergman seems to have caught up with the best time, more than ten years ago, when he first stepped into the field, Liszt just began to promote his disinfection method, and laughing gas and yimi have been widely used, it can be said that under the impetus of these two new technologies, surgery began to enter a gradually glorious era!

Bergman jumped at the chance.

Tong guò own efforts plus a little luck. Bergmann traveled all the way from the University of Uzburg to the University of Berlin, where he held the position of important professor of surgery. Naturally, I want to be able to do a big job! Therefore, he spent a lot of time and effort on disinfection, and it was his research on dozens of fracture patients who only disinfected and bandaged but did not treat, which confirmed the importance of surgical disinfection!

But looking at the wound on his arm that had just been treated by John, Bergman felt a sense of depression rise in his heart.

The young man from New York had just created autoclave sterilization, pioneered the theory of human blood grouping, and invented the abdominal shock method just a few months earlier. But after just three or four months, he not only invented two new anesthetics that seemed to be effective and safe, but also made a disinfectant called iodine tincture, which could kill even bacteria deep inside the hair follicles......

This is no longer something that can be described by the word genius!

"Professor, you ...... No problem, right? ”

Seeing Bergman's spirit, he was in a trance. Thomas was worried in his heart, for fear that he was because the effect of the anesthesia just now had not subsided, so he hurriedly asked cautiously. Just now only the topical anesthesia and local infiltration anesthesia of lidocaine were demonstrated, and they didn't even consider doing neuraxial anesthesia, Bergman's expression was already shocked, and John simply saved it. After all, it is still dangerous to insert a long needle into the spinal canal, and it can be avoided.

"Oh, it's fine."

Bergman came back from his daze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly twice before shaking his head and said

Seeing that the professor was back to normal, Thomas finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was very confident in the anesthetic drugs he had experimented with, Bergman's attitude determined the success or failure of John's plan, and he was naturally quite nervous.

"Thomas, is this really John's doing?"

After a moment of silence, Professor Bergman suddenly asked, "I mean these two anesthetics and iodine tincture, as well as those delicate and tedious operation steps!" ”

"Yes sir, he did it all by himself!"

Without hesitation, Thomas nodded vigorously.

Not to mention that these things were originally made by John alone, the others just helped to verify it, just look at Bergman's expression and attitude at this time, and the older Thomas also knew that the credit must be concentrated on one person as much as possible!

Sure enough, seeing Thomas's answer so firmly, Bergman's face changed suddenly, and then he took a deep breath and asked, "So...... Have you read all of John's papers? ”

Just now, Bergman learned that John had written several more papers, including on surgical sterilization standards, on two new anesthetic drugs, and even on lumbar puncture to extract cerebrospinal fluid, all of which had been submitted to the British journal The Lancet! This shocked him at the same time. He also urged John to go back and bring the paper to him to see what kind of paper he could write in a few months......

"I've seen it."

Thomas's heart moved, and he hurriedly smiled: "It's very well written, and it is precisely because of these materials and papers that we chose to believe him and cooperate with him...... Professor, John is a genius. There's no doubt about it, and I think you can choose to trust him too! ”

"Really?"

After hearing Thomas's words, Bergman's eyes flashed and he muttered in a low voice.

To tell the truth, Bergman really didn't have the joy of doing a good job for his subordinates at this time, only a sense of loss mixed with disappointment and annoyance. The disappointment was due to his regret that the things that could change the history of surgery were not invented by himself, and the annoyance was due to John's behavior, which it was obvious that he must have studied for a long time. But I never knew it!

Especially the paper on disinfection norms, which Bergman had denied last time, John secretly wrote it again, and even submitted it to a medical journal after it was more detailed!

What is this like?!

However, Bergman can only hold these things in his heart and can't say them directly, because in the end, he can't allow students to submit articles to journals, right?

And the faint Bergman also sensed that John did not seem to be as obedient to himself as he seemed, and what he knew today was a proof. And he sent the manuscript to a British journal instead of "German Medicine", probably because he was afraid that the magazine would ask him directly, right?

"Gotcha! Get! ”

Just when Bergman's mind was cranky. There was a sudden knock on his door.

Thomas opened the door and John walked in from the outside.

"The paper brought?"

After seeing the smiling John, Bergman asked in a somewhat stiff tone.

"Brought, Professor."

I heard a hint of dissatisfaction in Bergman's tone, but John didn't care at all, and smiled slightly: "But I'm very sorry." Because I submitted all the original manuscripts to The Lancet, all I had on hand was drafts and summaries...... Feel free to take a look. ”

"Cast them all?"

Glancing at John with a meaningful look, Bergman asked lightly.

"It's all out."

Raising his eyebrows, John smiled: "The original surgical disinfection specification has been written back to me by The Lancet." He said that he had already decided to hire him, and that he would publish it in the next issue at the latest. ”

"Oh? So fast?? ”

Hearing John say this, Bergman's heart was shocked.

Many of the things John said last time, such as the disinfection of the hospital environment and the regular disinfection of the wards, etc., were too impractical in Bergman's opinion, and I was thinking that the magazine might not be so easy to accept, but I didn't expect that it had already decided to publish?

What the hell is going on?

As if to see Bergman's doubts, John smiled and continued: "Of course, it's a little different from the information I gave you last time, this time I didn't write too many general things, but wrote some very specific measures, such as gloves, hats, and masks...... And more real things have been done to get evidence, which you can look at in detail. ”

With that, John pulled out a thick stack of papers from his bag and handed it to Bergman.

Last time, John was ill-conceived, proposing a series of measures without providing evidence as to why, and was rejected by Bergman, who was concerned about the increased overhead. But this time, he had done enough with Fogel and had a certificate from the associate professor of bacteriology, so he didn't worry that Bergman couldn't see the value involved.

Putting what he had written on the table, John asked again, "Professor, look at the things I told you in the morning......"

"I'll think about it."

This time, Bergman did not directly object, but hesitated for a moment and said helplessly: "After I finish reading these things, I will definitely think about it seriously......" (to be continued......
