CHAPTER XV
At the beginning of modern medicine, there was a lot of chaos.
Not to mention, in the 100 years from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century, under the impact of modern medical concepts, all kinds of strange diagnosis and treatment methods appeared, such as the removal of brain tissue to treat mental illness, and the use of X-rays to treat various diseases.
The results of this are, of course, painful.
And this is an era when human life is not valuable, don't look at how much American human rights are shouted in later generations, new drugs or new treatment methods have to be tried and tested repeatedly and demonstrated before they can be promoted, but more than 100 years ago, they also experienced a very chaotic period. Physicians can experiment with poor people or children in orphanages at will, and even if they die because of it, they can ignore the past with the phrase "realize their value". In fact, the famous Tuskegee syphilis experiment took place decades later, and the U.S. government apology was delayed until the beginning of the 21st century......
The progress of modern medicine has countless tragic stories behind it.
However, medicine is also a discipline that needs to be practiced, and no matter what kind of drugs and devices, or even what new treatment methods are developed, they must be tested on humans after all. The era that John traveled through was not very obvious, such as appendectomy, a hospital only has dozens of cases a year, but in the future, the effect of a certain drug with the support of multinational giants can even reach tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of cases! The experimental data from these patients will greatly influence the choice of other physicians.
"The method is right, the key is the system!"
Ignoring Sally's frequent winks, John couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
John always felt a little strange when he said this in his heart, because it was so similar to what he used to say more than a hundred years later. As a surgeon. He had complained countless times in his previous life, and he could make money by relying on the technology he had learned for ten years, but the low cost of a general surgery in China was scary, and the standard of decades ago was still used, so that the hospital could only spend time on the cost of examination and consumables. There are also patients who go to big hospitals in groups, regardless of how big or small they are. The distribution of medical resources is extremely uneven, and some hospitals have to wait several months for a check-up......
Well, it's a bit of a stretch again.
The application of X-rays to the medical field has undoubtedly ushered in a new era of modern diagnostics, but in the first few decades of the use of this new method, physicians abused it to an outrageous degree. Of course, this is also related to the times, a hundred years later, people know that making films is harmful to the human body, but who could have known a hundred years ago? After all, the appearance of X-rays was the result of John's push, and history had to wait until 1895. The concept of radioactivity was proposed much later.
In this case, it is only natural that the physicians are extremely interested in this new gadget.
Therefore, after the advent of commercial X-ray machines, countless doctors have come to the museum and exerted a fearless experimental spirit, and frequently applied this magical ray to various fields of medicine: it can be used to see through the human body and provide a basis for the study and diagnosis of diseases; It can also be used to irradiate a certain area, such as a wound that has become severely infected, in an attempt to kill the small things that are not visible; It can also be used to irradiate any discomfort in the patient - abdomen, chest, head......
Recent times. John has seen many similar articles.
Of course, he had heard of this historical chaos, but he had not paid attention to it before. After all, the X-ray machine had only been out for a year or two, but now that he heard it from Sally's mouth, John finally had to pay attention to it.
Anyway, he made this thing, didn't he?
John frowned and pondered things, and Sally on the other side was suddenly a little unhappy. As the daughter of a shipbuilding tycoon, Sally's father's family property is not top-notch. But he's definitely a rich man. And her own natural conditions are really outstanding, her figure and appearance are first-class, at least she thinks she is not as good as that Anna? Huntelaar is bad, usually the focus of attention wherever he goes, why is this kid in front of him like a wood?
But when I think of this kid's industry, my father is blushing. Sally still endured the anger in her heart.
Of course, she didn't come to provoke John because she was really interested in those things, but because of the strength of the other party - young, tall, handsome, and already one of the top richest people in New York City, such a guy and that woman didn't want to catch? As for being married or something, Sally herself doesn't care at all, that Anna is a little girl who has no interest at first glance, how can she compare to herself? And this year...... Are there fewer men who end up abandoning their wives because of **?
After taking a deep breath, Sally smiled and asked, "Mr. Huntelaar, can you tell me anything else you invented?" For example, those miracle drugs, I am particularly interested in these! ”
Sally was very satisfied with her performance.
Mother's teachings coupled with her own efforts, this woman knows the psychology of men, especially like John? Young men like Mr. Huntelaar like to show how good they are! So taking advantage of the opportunity when others left and Anna was not around, Sally wanted to take advantage of the weakness to win John's favor, and giving the other party a chance to perform at this time was undoubtedly the best choice.
Merely......
Seeing the obvious coquettishness on Sally's face, John shook his head with a wry smile in his heart, but said with a faint smile on his face: "Sorry Miss, I almost never talk about work on weekends, and I have made an exception just now...... Excuse me, I'll go to the bathroom. ”
As he spoke, John stood up and bowed slightly, turned and walked in the direction of the bathroom.
“…… Damn it! ”
Seeing John leave Sally's expression, he immediately turned blue, and cursed in a low voice.
It's just that of course John can't hear Sally's cursing, and even if he hears it, he won't care, because he is seriously thinking about what he just thought as he walks: "If Roentgen is still allowed to discover X-rays, of course I don't have to worry about anything, but since I am here to remind him, and the mainstream X-ray machine is also sold by Heinz Medical Devices, and it brings a lot of profits to himself, if this matter is not left alone, I'm afraid it will be a little inappropriate......"
