"Don't worry, Mr. Crawford, the wound is healing very well!"

In a room on the third floor of Heinz General Hospital, Thomas smiled at the patient on the bed and said, "If you are a good person, I think you will be discharged by next Monday at the latest!" ”

"Really?"

After hearing Thomas's words, the Crawfords asked in surprise almost at the same time.

"Of course!"

After smiling slightly, Thomas nodded with certainty.

"Great!"

This time the couple finally stopped doubting it, and at the same time screamed, and Mr. Crawford himself straightened up from the bed. Looking at the expressions of the two, if it weren't for the presence of several doctors and nurses in the ward, the two might have hugged each other and cried!

People in the 21st century, it's hard to imagine their mood at this time.

It would have taken a lot of courage for anyone in the late 19th century to allow a surgeon to make a cut in his stomach, let alone allow him to cut off part of his own internal organs. If the consequences of the same disease were too appalling, if it weren't for the dozens of same surgeries performed by the surgeons at Heinz General Hospital, and Dr. Doug's assurances, Crawford would not have been able to agree to lie on the operating table. At least until his condition deteriorates to the point where he becomes a dead horse doctor, there is no way he can agree! (Now that I think about it, I'm already regretting that I made the illness so light, haha.) ）

The psychological torment suffered in the past few days can naturally be imagined......

"Lie down!"

Seeing the patient get up from the bed so violently, Thomaston was startled, frowned and hurriedly exclaimed, "Mr. Crawford, watch your wounds!" ”

"Ouch!"

It was okay that Thomas didn't remind him, and after reminding him, Mr. Crawford suddenly felt pain from the extreme excitement of Fang Cai. Ouch screamed in pain. It's only been a few days since the surgery, and it would be strange if the wound didn't hurt with such a violent movement!

Fortunately, after Thomas's examination, there were no major problems.

"Thank you so much."

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with her husband, Mrs. Crawford finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the moist corners of her eyes, and said to Thomas. For this still relatively young surgeon. Mrs. Crawford's heart was filled with gratitude, knowing that her husband was still very young, and the eldest of the four children in the family was only nine years old, and the operation gave her nightmares almost every night! Now that Mr. Thomas had stopped talking, her heart was finally at ease.

Mrs. Crawford was naturally strongly opposed to her husband's coming to this brand-new hospital for surgery at first. On the one hand, it was because of her long-standing fear of surgery, and on the other hand, it was difficult for her to believe that a hospital had just opened and that the doctors in it looked so young. However, under the persuasion of his old friend Dr. Doug. Thankfully, they made the right choice.

However...... "It would be even more perfect if I could give him some yapian." “

Listening to her husband's whispered snort, Mrs. Crawford thought with regret in her heart.

In the eyes of the dignified and steady Mrs. Crawford, every word of Heinz General Hospital satisfied her. The spacious, bright building, clean and tidy environment, and this comfortable, warm and independent ward completely subverted her perception of the hospital. And in addition to the comfortable environment, the service of the hospital is also very satisfying. There were no rude surgeons and dumb nurses in Mrs. Crawford's phenomenon, but all were polite. It looks like it has been rigorously trained to do things, which makes people feel extra at ease. She never imagined that the hospital that New York high society had always scoffed at would make her feel inexplicably comfortable, and she had never felt a trace of disgust in the process of accompanying her in the hospital these days.

But to Mrs. Crawford's displeasure, no doctor would give her husband some yapian to relieve the pain! "Because Mr. Huntelaar won't allow it!"

Every time Mrs. Crawford made this request, almost all of them replied to him.

After a few times. Mrs. Crawford had a deep resentment towards Mr. Huntelaar, for she never understood why the physicians, knowing that her husband was suffering from pain at all times, did not give him some yapian, and did not even allow Mrs. Crawford to buy it herself......

After patiently comforting Mr. Crawford, Thomas left the only room in use.

"Is Mr. Huntelaar here today?"

After coming out of the ward. Thomas casually asked the young physician Rollint beside him. As a young physician who has just completed his studies at the University of Berlin, Rollint is now Thomas's assistant, to put it bluntly, in the position of a secretary, on the one hand, to reduce Thomas's trivial burden, and on the other hand, to allow him to study with Thomas, which is a double win.

"Here he is, I saw him in the morning."

Without any hesitation, Rollint nodded immediately.

Hearing that John had come to the hospital today, Thomas sent Rollint back to the company first, and went all the way to the dean's office and found John, who was busy writing: "Hey, John, what are you writing?" ”

"Hehe, some new ideas."

After putting down the pen in his hand, John nodded with a smile.

After hearing this, Thomaston's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward and asked, "What?" Do you have any new ideas? Is it related to the gastrectomy pioneered by Mr. Bierrot? ”

Thomas was very enthusiastic about the results of John's trip to Vienna.

It is not known how much help Johann helped his former professor of surgery at the University of Berlin in this process, but after he left Vienna, Professor Bierrot and his assistants performed at least 15 gastrectomy surgeries in one year, with a success rate of more than half of them!

After the successive publication of this result, Bierrot's already high reputation was further enhanced!

And in every paper published by the Department of Surgery at the Vienna General Hospital, without exception, there is a mention of Johann ? Huntelaar is a name that is placed very high on the front line. The upright Professor Bierrot even specifically mentioned John's help in a paper and praised the role of new surgical disinfection techniques, local anesthetic techniques, and sulfonamides......

For new surgeries other than appendectomy. Thomas has been waiting for a long time.

But just when Thomas was full of anticipation, John immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Thomas, do you think it is really suitable to start a new operation when our hospital has just opened?" ”

"Uh......"

Cold water poured down, and Thomas's restless mood immediately calmed down.

"Let's do what we're sure of first."

John didn't want to dwell on it either, and continued, "Thomas. In North America alone, appendectomy is the biggest advantage of our current hospital, and the whole of New York City can also provide us with enough disease, so I hope that you will focus on this for the next period of time, on the one hand, to continue to improve it, and on the other hand, to continue to train our surgeons so that they can also master ...... Oh, and the surgeons at Columbia College. They're supposed to be sending people in batches next week, right? ”

"Yes, there will be two of them next Monday."

Speaking of the surgeons who were coming to Columbia College to study, Thomas immediately nodded.

After some haggling, Heinz General Hospital and Columbia College reached a cooperation, Heinz General Hospital is responsible for training each other in surgical sterilization, local anesthesia and appendectomy, and Columbia College, after paying a certain fee, also guarantees to recommend suitable patients within a year, especially those with right lower quadrant pain. If it weren't for John, he really couldn't look down on the medical students trained in the United States now. I am afraid that there will also be a clause to recommend outstanding graduates......

After talking about these things, John suddenly remembered the first surgical operation in his hospital. He hurriedly asked, "Thomas, how is Mr. Crawford?" ”

"To our surprise, Mr. Crawford's recovery is in excellent condition."

Thomas smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "If he is a qiē shun lì, I think he should be able to be discharged from the hospital next week......"

"Good!"

John's eyes lit up, and after a slight groan, he smiled, "In that case." I see you're going to work hard this weekend and write a paper right away...... Well, I heard that there is a Boston Journal of Medicine and Surgery in Boston, so I will vote for publication there! ”

"Papers? Boston Journal of Medicine and Surgery? ”

After hearing the name of the magazine, Thomas asked with a blank face, "It's just an ordinary appendectomy." Is it necessary to write another paper? And is this Boston Journal of Medicine and Surgery famous? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"Because we're in New York right now, and there aren't many appendectomy cases in the U.S. mainland."

After smiling slightly, John said meaningfully.

In a sense, the level of a scientific journal is often a sign of the country's economic and academic level, and in this era, the United States lags behind Europe in both aspects, so it is not surprising that Thomas, who has been in Europe, has not heard of this magazine.

And John felt it was necessary to contribute to magazines in his country.

Although the influence of scientific journals in the United States is very low, most European physicians do not bother to subscribe to them, and even many doctors in their own countries subscribe to the journal from Europe, but a study such as appendectomy, which has published many papers, is suitable for China, at least to further increase the influence of Heinz General Hospital.

Looking at Thomas's dazed look, John was secretly happy in his heart.

For people in this era, this so-called "Boston Journal of Medicine and Surgery" is naturally nothing, especially a guy like Thomas who has begun to gradually gain prestige, but for John, publishing a paper in the "Boston Journal of Medicine and Surgery" is one of the greatest wishes of his last life, because it is this unknown "Boston Journal of Medicine and Surgery", which will be changed to another name in the future, that is, the magazine that almost every physician wants to publish his name in the future!

New England Journal of Medicine...... (To be continued......)
