This year's conference lasted only three days.

In 1888, more than a hundred years ago, there was very little new knowledge produced in a year, so three days was more than enough for the German medical community. And because Berlin has so little electricity, it's almost time for everyone to interact with each other in the evening.

During these three days, John was quite busy.

During the day, I listen to other people's reports and learn what the best physicians and medical scientists of our time are working on, and at night I attend different gatherings. Many of his first attendees were very interested, especially the few surgeons who attended, so he had to go back late almost every day to rest.

But he's busy, and John enjoys it.

It was interesting for John to communicate with the "ancient" medical scientists, especially when he was pleasantly surprised to find the shadow of certain technologies in the future from some people's oral research. The only thing that makes him regret is that the so-called medical conference in this era is a hodgepodge, with no distinction between medicine and surgery, basic and clinical, so he often sees foaming at the mouth on the stage and a blank scene off the stage......

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

According to the previous management, the real big cattle and medium cattle have appeared in the first two days, and the third day is for the doctors who have only become famous in the past two years. And the last day of each conference is often the most crowded time, because many of the more prestigious attendees don't care much about the day's presentations and leave early. It's just that this year it's a little different, because the last person to give a presentation in the afternoon is John? Huntelaar!

This name is highly controversial in Europe.

For surgeons, the name stands for new surgical sterilization techniques, local anesthetic techniques, and appendectomy; And for physiologists. The name, however, represents the scandalous theory of blood group inheritance and the uproar of vitamins. Therefore, most people were quite interested in Mr. Huntelaar's speech, not to mention that Mr. Koch and Mr. Fürchault had said that they would come in the afternoon, so everyone's interest was naturally even higher.

So ten minutes before the start of the afternoon session on the third day, the auditorium at the University of Berlin was packed with almost as many people as there were on the opening of the first day!

"Here we are."

With a soft scream. The auditorium, which had been noisy just now, quickly fell silent.

Under everyone's gaze, Koch and Philchaud walked slowly into the auditorium, and then sat down with a smile on their faces amid the greetings of many attendees. As the two men took their seats, their eyes quickly shifted to a small door next to the podium, where the preparation room for each speaker was located.

The last report of the afternoon is still ten minutes away......

……

In the preparation room, John is putting the finishing touches on his grooming.

Professor Bergman was the only one in the room besides him. However, at this time, the professor of surgery at the University of Berlin did not help John check whether his appearance was appropriate, but looked intently at a thin booklet.

As he watched, he frowned tightly.

This booklet had been handed to him by John only a few minutes earlier. This is all the content of the report. And it was after reading the contents of this booklet that Professor Bergman's face gradually changed from initial excitement to doubt, then to uneasiness, and finally to incomprehension and anger now!

"Smack!"

Closing the pamphlet in his hand firmly, Professor Bergman took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "John, is this ...... That's what you're going to talk about today? ”

"yes."

Turning his head to look at Professor Bergman, John nodded calmly.

"But ......"

Clutching the pamphlet in his hand vigorously, Professor Bergman frowned and asked, "Shouldn't you be talking about surgery today?" In the last year or two, we have further standardized surgical sterilization. The local anesthetic technique has been perfected, and appendectomy has also accumulated a sufficient number of cases...... Even those experiments of yours in the past three months have been remarkable. Why not talk about them? Isn't that enough for you to talk about for an hour and a half? ”

"Uh......"

John was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled: "Professor, the content I talked about contains them, did you say that you didn't see them just now?" ”

"But ......"

With his mouth open, Professor Bergman didn't know what to say for a moment.

For this one of John's speeches. To be honest, he was looking forward to it, and there was probably no one in Europe who knew John's talent for surgery better than Bergman. Especially in the last three months, John and Ben have conducted experiments to verify the contents of the book step by step, which has made Professor Bergman look forward to it very much. He was eager for John to publish these things at this meeting, which would further improve the status of the Department of Surgery at Charlotte Hospital. On the other hand, it can also achieve what John has always said - to make the medical community understand that surgery has now changed from a craft to a science!

This idea is now the ultimate goal of Professor Bergman.

But what Professor Bergman didn't expect was that the booklet contained many other things besides surgery: blood, vitamins, and something he had never seen from John!

And his speech lasted only an hour and a half......

"Don't worry, Professor."

Smiling slightly, John said calmly: "I am a surgeon, and I will definitely focus on the content of surgery today, and I will be serious, there is no doubt about this." But I don't want to give up on other things either, please understand. ”

"Alas...... All right. ”

Looking at John's determined face, Professor Bergman smiled bitterly and could only nod helplessly.

From the time he first joined the Department of Surgery at Charlotte Hospital, Professor Bergman had never been able to truly control John, let alone now. All he could hope for now was that John would spend more time talking about surgery.

“…… Good afternoon, gentlemen......"

At this moment, a deep and deep voice came from outside the door.

Someone came up to the stage and began to introduce John's identity, which caused Professor Bergman to immediately shut his mouth and hand John the pamphlet in his hand.

"No, you can take this thing first."

To Professor Bergman's surprise, John did not take the pamphlet in his hand, but bent down, patted a large cardboard box more than two meters long on the ground, and smiled: "Professor, I'm afraid I will have to trouble you to help carry it out." ”

Stunned, Professor Bergman was stunned and asked, "What is this?" ”

"A gadget."

With a smile, John winked at the professor and said, "A small tool to assist in the speech, you can look at it in the audience in a while......"

……

“…… Below, let's welcome John from the University of Berlin? Mr. Huntelaar! ”

"Whoa......

Amid a not-so-enthusiastic round of applause, John, with the help of Professor Bergman, pushed open the door and carried a large cardboard box to the podium in the middle of the auditorium...... (To be continued......)
