At the Brest house, John had a very pleasant afternoon.

He didn't know what old Huntelaar and Brister were talking about, but they talked for two hours, and Mrs. Brister rarely bothered her, so she and Anna spent two hours in the garden......

This made John feel very happy.

Anna is a wonderful girl, although she has the unique marks of this era, such as being keen on the upper class of dances and making friends, etc., but also has some characteristics of women in the new era, such as the desire to receive scientific knowledge, and the desire to be more comfortable with their own family, etc. However, compared to Emma on the other side of the ocean, Anna's desire is obviously much weaker, and John feels that it is a product of a special era.

In short, a very interesting girl.

In just half an hour, she learned a lot of things from John's mouth, such as what most of the current surgeons are like, and what the surgeons at Charlotte Hospital are like, and why John wants to transfer his bicycle company shares, etc., and as a reborn born in China ten years ago and in the United States in the next few years, John's "extensive" knowledge undoubtedly makes the girl's eyes light up and her heart jumps......

……

When he woke up, John had to get to work the next day.

After having breakfast with old Huntelaar, John asked Hans to accompany his grandfather to visit relatives, and he rode to Charlotte's Hospital.

"Good morning, Mr. Huntelaar."

"Good morning, Mr. Hens"

……

As he walked to his office, John greeted a colleague, feeling happy and secretly proud.

Under his design and supervision. The surgical building of Charlotte Hospital has been completely renovated and renovated, and it has almost completely changed its appearance, with a clean environment, comfortable wards, and a strictly controlled operating room, although it cannot be compared with even a county-level hospital in later generations. But he finally found a sense of it—at least it was no longer dim and crowded, and it was always full of bad smells.

And......

In addition to himself, the other surgeons began to wear the white coats designed by John to work.

For a surgeon, if he is in the operating room, John's impression is to brush his coat. So he had this thing show up early, and he had the surgeons put on isolation gowns, hats, masks, and gloves in the operating room. But in the ward or in the outpatient room, John's image of the physician is fixed on the white coat, even though he has been reborn for sixteen and a half years. He still can't forget the excitement and excitement of wearing it for the first time when he was a freshman, and he can't forget the holy title of the angel in white, so it is only natural to let this thing appear decades in advance......

"Good morning, Mr. Huntelaar!"

"Good morning, uh...... Good morning, Helen. ”

Looking at Helen, a nurse dressed in a "maid outfit", most of the pride in John's heart just now suddenly dissipated.

With Bergman's support, John renovated the entire surgical building as much as possible. The clothing of the doctors has also been updated, and the training of aseptic disinfection techniques for all doctors and nurses is also in full swing. Initial completion is expected within a week. But to his helplessness, the nurse's new outfit plan has not been decided. The two sets of nurses' uniforms he designed have been submitted to Bergman for more than a week and have not yet been heard back.

Helen wore a traditional long dress and hat, with a white apron, which was the standard image of nurses in the late 19th century. In John's opinion, this is not suitable for hospitals at all, and the long skirt is difficult to move and can be easily soiled. If a nurse wears this to work, you can imagine how much inconvenience it will cause!

"Nurse's uniform, nurse'......"

Remembering the neat and neat dress of the little nurses, John couldn't help but go straight to Professor Bergman's office, knocked on the door and asked, "Professor, what do you think about the nurse uniform I designed?" Now the clothes they wear are really inconvenient. And it's also easy to get dirty, I think it's ......."

"I can't agree."

Without waiting for John's words to speak, Professor Bergman, who was changing into a white coat, shook his head bluntly and said, "I'm sorry John, although your idea is very good, and I understand it as a doctor, but ...... Sorry, it's not possible! ”

"Because I can't handle the pressure that comes with this!"

Sighing softly, Professor Bergman replied calmly, "Although I understand that you just want the nurses to work more conveniently and cleanly, ...... It's still too shocking to have women in pants! It will not only be strongly attacked by the gentlemen in Germany and even the whole of Europe, but I am afraid that even the nurses themselves will not be able to accept it. ”

"This ......"

Opening his mouth, John was speechless.

Really!

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, John was still a little disappointed when he heard this decision from Bergman's mouth, and it seemed that it was definitely not a matter of time to get the women out of the heavy and inconvenient skirts.

After a moment's hesitation, John continued, "Professor, what about the second design?" Can it be used? ”

"Again."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Professor Bergman refused again: "Although the resistance of this kind of clothing is less, but ...... I'm sorry, I'm afraid it still doesn't work! ”

"Why?!"

With a frown, John's question blurted out.

If you look at it from John's point of view, the image of nurses now is no different from the maids in later film and television dramas, and the large and fluffy long skirts are not suitable for working in a hospital at all. Therefore, in addition to the nurse's uniform of later generations, John also designed another long skirt - an improvement on the traditional clothing, simplifying the structure of the clothes as much as possible, making the style simpler and easier to change and clean.

In his mind, this plan should not be too much of a problem.

But what John didn't expect was that Bergman still refused, and said: "Because I asked all the nurses for their opinion, they refused to change this long dress because it was too ugly!" ”

"Too ugly?!"

Faced with Professor Bergman's explanation, John was speechless.

Although he knew that there was a huge difference in aesthetics between himself and the people of this era, John never thought that this difference would be so big! In his eyes, how can the long skirt he drew based on his memory also represent the future, and it looks better than the current lengthy skirt, right? I didn't expect to be hit hard!

After putting on the white coat, Bergman stepped forward and patted John on the shoulder and smiled bitterly: "Okay John, it's enough for the doctors to wear this kind of clothing you designed, at least everyone thinks it looks ...... It's very professional, but forget the nurses, let them go. ”

Once they had the samples, it was easy for the surgeons to fall in love with the lab coats.

For the physicians of this era, it is very important to look professional. Surgeons, in particular, are more important because they are treated as "craftsmen" rather than professionals for long periods of time with barbers. For example, in real history, the reason why gloves, hats and masks were promoted so quickly, in addition to the visible effect, making surgeons more "professional" is also a very important factor, and in the eyes of many people, it even exceeds its effect! Because new equipment such as gloves and hats had been invented by John in advance, everyone's acceptance of the white coat was also very high, and even the doctors in the internal medicine department were quite envious after seeing it, and frequently asked what was going on with this kind of clothing......

However, nurses are a different concept.

Seeing Bergman shake his head repeatedly, John sighed heavily, and finally extinguished the thought.

For example, in German hospitals, nurses mainly come from three kinds of people: religious people, philanthropists and a small number of professional nurses with simple training, that is, some poor women who make a living from it, and religious nurses are the most important group of them.

Religious doctrine has long dominated the norms of nursing, allowing it to develop very slowly.

These nurses revere religious ideals and often see their work as a kind of dedication, so they are resistant to many things. For example, one of the most important obstacles to the popularization of the theory of surgical sterilization was the religious nurses, who were convinced that it was an affront to God, and who once besieged Liszt for it. Even Nightingale, who has the most prestige in the nursing world, has not been able to break free from the shackles of the times in a certain way.

Before World War I, half of the nurses in Germany were religious nurses, and it was not until the establishment of a national nurse licensing system during the Weimar Republic after World War I that the number of professional nurses gradually exceeded the number of religious nurses, and nursing became a key part of the patient's recovery......

"It's certainly unrealistic to count on this."

After coming out of Professor Bergman's office, John's brow was still tightly locked.

John knows far more than anyone in his time how important nursing is. And he also understood what happened today, that is, there are two things that must be paid attention to in the future: one is that surgeons must pay more attention to the work of nurses, and the other is that it must be increased as much as possible to increase the income of nurses, so that it will eventually become a profession, and not a tool used by religious people to give their love......

"So, in the end, it's up to you!"

Thinking about it, John could only smile helplessly. At the end of the day, he had to count on the building he was building in New York, and John was looking forward to going back sooner rather than later...... (To be continued......)
