Chapter 40: Koch and Fürchaux

"Long time no see, Mr. Huntelaar."

When Robert? When Koch offered his right hand to John, the people around him quickly fell silent. Some of them had puzzled looks on their faces, while others, though rather surprised, were relatively calm, as if it was not a great deal for Mr. Koch, who had been surrounded by people since he had entered, to take the initiative to greet others.

"Good evening, Professor Koch."

Leaning slightly, John respectfully stretched out his right hand.

In terms of medical achievements, John is already a top figure in the field of surgery, and he is a few streets away from each other in terms of starting a family, but he has always respected John, a super bull in the history of medicine. Not to mention anything else, just think about where there is an epidemic of infectious diseases in the world, where this big bull will rush, John asked himself if he would definitely not be able to do it, which is enough to make him respect from the bottom of his heart.

And......

Now, after all, it is the end of the 19th century, and the most concerned by the medical community in the world is always the infectious disease that kills the most, so that Europe loses 50,000 or 60,000 children a year, diphtheria, which is not worth mentioning in the face of white plague tuberculosis! Koch was the world's most authoritative tuberculosis expert, a disease that not many people knew about in later generations, but in this era he could be propelled to the position of a leading medical figure in the German Empire. Looking at John's current achievements, the theories of blood type, heredity and vitamins have just begun, except for a small number of researchers and physicians, they are not widely recognized and accepted, and the truly valued achievements are concentrated in the field of surgery, but now in this special period, surgery has just been accepted by internal medicine colleagues......

"John, I've read your paper on vitamins."

Koch's opening remarks were almost identical to those of Professor Moore, and he laughed: "It's very interesting from an intentional point of view, hehe, we've been looking for the pathogen of beriberi." Now it seems that we can consider a change of thinking......"

"Thank you."

Smiling slightly, John didn't say much.

At this time, there is really no need for John to say anything, Koch's research is focused on infectious diseases, and it is naturally impossible to study vitamins or anything, and although Koch's words seem to be acknowledging himself, in fact, no matter the expression or tone. The smell of suspicion was all there. For these successful professionals, overconfidence is sometimes a difficult obstacle to overcome, just as Koch has historically proposed that tuberculosis can be treated with tuberculin, so all John has to do is smile without humility or arrogance, and don't take it to heart.

"Robert, this young man is Mr. Huntelaar?"

Just as Koch and John were exchanging pleasantries, another old voice came.

Koch naturally turned around, smiled and nodded, "Yes, Professor Philau." This is John? Mr. Huntelaar, a genius American surgeon! And in the past few years, his talent has not been limited to the field of surgery, but also created blood group theory, local anesthesia theory, etc., and the Heinz abdominal impact method was also the first one he proposed......"

For John? Huntelaar, Koch's mentality is quite complicated.

When they first met, Koch had a crush on John, and later even called him in. Unfortunately, this kid doesn't seem to have much interest in bacteriology. And the speed of the jump was too fast, and in the end, Koch completely lost this opportunity. However, for John's later development, Koch has also been paying attention. Like the new surgical disinfection technology is given strong support, after all, Koch put forward the idea of high temperature sterilization at the earliest, but it was finally realized by John, as for the later blood group theory, and the vitamin theory that has just appeared for a long time, it also made Koch's eyes shine: not to mention anything else. John's talent really caught his eye.

"Buzz ......"

After listening to Koch's introduction, there was a slight commotion among some people around.

"So it's him?!"

Subconsciously, many people's hearts suddenly realized.

Many people didn't know why Koch was greeting this young man just now, but now they understood the identity of the other party when they heard it. Of course, the people who can come to this meeting will not be some mediocre doctors who don't care about the world. In fact, most of them are professors from various universities, and they are often the people who pay the most attention to the frontiers of medical research. The name Huntelaar. In fact, in recent years, the name has appeared very frequently, and every time it will cause a lot of sensation or controversy, such as the new disinfection technology, local anesthesia technology and appendectomy in the early years, and then the hot blood type and vitamins in the past two years.

Especially the two bloody cases in Britain before, but this name was pushed to the forefront!

John didn't mind the other people's eyes, but when Fillshaw's gaze also rested on him, John immediately bowed slightly and greeted respectfully: "Good evening, Professor Fillshaw, it's an honor to meet you!" ”

"Good evening, young man."

With his eyes narrowed slightly, Filshaw looked John up and down before nodding.

Although the expression of this medical boss was very flat, for some reason, John could see the unfriendly taste from the little light leaking through the other party's eyes. Of course, even then John was able to understand, this Rudolph? Although Professor Fürchault made great contributions to the medical profession by creating cytopathology, comparative pathology and anthropology, as well as discovering the concepts of leukemia and embolism, in his later years he devoted more energy to politics and strongly opposed sterilization techniques.

In the promotion of surgical disinfection technology, this uncle was one of the most staunch opponents.

In addition, like most successful medical bigwigs, Fürsau has placed too much emphasis on the cytopathology he created, so much so that he has always emphasized local cytopathology and ignored the changes in the person as a whole, and because of his high prestige in the industry, many times also influenced the judgment of many people......

But in any case, John still maintains due respect for this big bull, but he knows that he is not liked by the other party because of his achievements in the field of surgical sterilization, so he naturally has no intention of communicating more.

With the identities of Koch and Filshaw at this time, of course, they would not talk to John for too long, and after a brief chat, Koch suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Huntelaar, you have frequently published papers in the past year, will there be a speech at this conference?" On which day? ”

"There will be a small academic presentation in the afternoon of the last day."

Smiling slightly, John replied calmly.

Koch was a little surprised, but after a short pause, he immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay, then in the afternoon of three days, I will come to listen to your academic report...... Hopefully you'll hear more of your genius's thoughts when the time comes. ”

After hearing Koch's words, there was a slight commotion in the surrounding crowd, and Philau was also slightly stunned, and his eyes that had been squinting instantly widened a lot!

Koch's attitude is obvious, very optimistic about the young man in front of him.

There will definitely be a lot of academic presentations at academic conferences, which is consistent in any era, which is why it attracts many physicians to attend the conference. After all, many new theories and technologies cannot be deeply understood through the small space of the paper, and attending a conference is a good way to do so. It's just that the order of academic reports also reflects a person's academic status, because the more people who attend the conference at the back, the more tired they are, and many of them will even leave early, which is very disadvantageous.

Like Robert? Figures like Koch generally don't wait until the last day.

In fact, apart from the academic presentations they were doing, top figures like Koch and Fürchaux rarely listened to other reports, and sometimes they even appeared only on special occasions. And John's speech is last, and the content should not overlap with Koch's research, if the bull says that he wants to listen, the meaning is self-evident......

Filshaw's eyes flashed with curiosity, and at this time, he couldn't help but nod and smile: "In that case, then I'll listen to it in three days, haha, presumably the genius American surgeon should have new ideas, right?" ”

"Boom ......"

As soon as Fürchault said that, the buzz around him was even louder.

Compared with Koch, Firschau's statement is even more rare, this old man who is almost seventy years old is now a member of the Reichstach, and his status is higher than Koch, and he is willing to listen to the academic report of a young man, which is a great honor.

"Thank you, thank you very much!"

Bowing slightly, the smile on the corner of John's mouth became even stronger at this time.

In fact, the conference organizers originally gave John an hour and a half, which was not particularly late, but at his strong request, this time was put on the afternoon of the last day, that is, the last one!

About this, many people are incomprehensible.

Since he chose this worst-case time, John certainly had his own considerations, but he was also worried that there would be fewer people staying to listen at that time. But now with Robert? Koch and Rudolph? After Filsau's statement, John's heart can finally be put down, the presence of this big bull will inevitably attract many people to stay, John doesn't want to be left with only a group of surgeons in the audience......

You know, there are very few surgeons who attend such meetings.

However, John did not explain much at this time, he just smiled respectfully and said: "Professor Koch, Professor Filschau, I look forward to your presence at that time, and I am sure that the report in three days will not disappoint you......" (To be continued......
