Chapter 18 This is what professionalism is all about.
In the early morning, when the church bells rang, they rang one after another, just like yesterday, unhurried and calm.
However, Liu Yide, who should have been sleeping in, had already changed into a white coat. This was specially prepared by Federico, who not only prepared white coats for the doctors, but also designed nurse uniforms for the nurses. They were very fitted and professional.
I looked at myself in the mirror.
Wearing a white coat makes you look like a doctor.
Then he hung the stethoscope on his chest and grinned so wide that even an AK couldn't suppress it!
"Yes, that's what you call professional."
He then pushed open the door with renewed energy and began his new day.
What?
Having finally traveled through time, who wants to be a beast of burden anymore!
But yesterday, he truly experienced the joy and happiness of being a cow or a horse!
Inspired by happiness, they not only proactively conduct rounds to check on patients' conditions, but also continue to improve inpatient medical records and hospital rules and regulations.
During that time, I also chatted with several young and pretty nurses at the clinic, which was quite a treat for the eyes.
The only downside is that the pink fabric is too expensive.
Therefore, nurses' uniforms are all light blue.
Although the color is a bit off, her figure is absolutely amazing; in that respect, this girl is top-notch!
However, there are always some people who don't know their place. Just as the young nurse was laughing heartily at a few jokes, a reporter came and interrupted everything.
There's no way around it, people are afraid of becoming famous.
Now that you're famous, reporters will inevitably come knocking on your door.
After all, the transformation from a "deadly madman" to a scientific genius is truly legendary.
How could reporters not be curious?
Not only local Genoa journalists, but also journalists from other places, including Rome.
Actually, compared to treating patients...
The most important thing is to convince the reporters; only in this way can more patients be brought to Federico Clinic.
Yes, this is of course about practicing medicine and helping people!
The "miracle doctor" label is just a fabrication.
Otherwise, how would you know about the miracle doctor?
After the interview, the reporter said that the article would soon be published in the newspaper, and by the time he finished his studies, all of Rome would know about "Ludwig's miraculous cure".
Liu Yide naturally has high expectations for this.
After all, reputation...who doesn't like it!
After seeing the reporters off, Federico said to Liu Yide:
"Sir, I have a classmate who is promoting 'fever therapy' in a hospital in Rome. He wrote to me asking about some questions regarding the treatment. In my reply, I mentioned the medical record and temperature card you invented. Is that alright?"
"What's the problem? Saving one more person is always a good thing."
Although he already knew that the gentleman would not refuse, his answer still made Federmione's eyes shine with even more admiration.
Although all doctors take the Hippocratic Oath in medical school, in reality, they often choose to keep their unique "treatment methods" secret.
And what about you, sir?
Not only did they selflessly reveal the secrets of fever therapy, but they also chose to disclose medical records and temperature cards without reservation!
My God!
So many selfless people!
Federico is now completely won over by Liu Yide, impressed by the knowledge he has displayed.
Those seemingly insignificant things were revolutionary innovations in his eyes as a doctor. If at first he only admired the treatments he had invented, now he was completely convinced because his innovations would bring revolutionary progress to medicine all over the world.
And now, he was once again moved by the selflessness shown by his husband!
Looking at Liu Yide with admiration, Federico bowed slightly and said:
"Sir, I was being too cautious. Just as you said—this treatment needs to be perfected and improved by doctors all over the world. Only in this way can it benefit the whole world!"
Uh... is this just my imagination?
Seeing the look Federico gave him, Liu Yide felt helpless. Who cares about all that?
All he cares about is his reputation, nothing more.
As for spreading his fame to Rome, how could he possibly stop him?
However, it does feel good to be admired like this!
In fact, Louis's reputation had already reached Rome. On the very day he publicly performed his healing, a Roman newspaper reported the astonishing news: the Easterner who had been widely portrayed in the newspapers as a "deadly healer" and arrested and imprisoned by the police was actually innocent!
Moreover, he was not a fraud, nor the so-called "deadly healer," but rather a scientific genius from the East! He discovered a treatment method in ancient Eastern medicine—fever therapy—and successfully cured syphilis using this therapy.
This news immediately caused a sensation.
Especially for those suffering from syphilis, they suddenly saw hope, but more than anything, they were filled with doubt!
After all, the very term "fever therapy" is utterly absurd. And its treatment method is even more astonishing—first inducing a normal person to contract malaria, then using the high fever caused by malaria to combat syphilis.
Using a serious illness to treat another terminal disease!
That sounds amazing, doesn't it? You've never seen anything like it before, have you?
The miraculous cure and legendary experience, from "serial killer" to "savior," are enough to captivate everyone's attention. But what truly draws people's attention in this legendary story is syphilis itself.
Patients are paying attention because they see hope for survival; doctors are also paying attention because of hope. When they see this new treatment in the newspaper, even just a few words, they immediately begin to boldly try it.
Don't be surprised by their boldness; medicine in this era, frankly speaking, is all about constant experimentation. The reason why Western medicine was able to gradually take the lead in the world in the second half of the 19th century was precisely because they established a modern scientific system through bold experimentation.
Of course, it can also be interpreted in another way—treating human life like dirt.
Because the subjects of experiments are always people!
As for what the experimental subjects will face—who cares in this day and age?
However, the reporters did not stop there.
On the one hand, some journalists traveled by train to Genoa to interview those directly involved; on the other hand, others sought out medical authorities, hoping to obtain definitive answers from them.
"This is an insult to my intelligence."
El Salvador responded to the reporter's questions with disdain.
As a member of the Italian Academy of Forty, Salvador is undoubtedly one of Italy's top doctors.
After all, the Council of Forty is equivalent to the National Academy of Sciences, and its members are all the highest authorities in the fields of mathematics, physics and natural sciences in Italy.
Doctors were of course included; it's worth noting that when the Forty Men's Institute was founded in 1782, its founding members included physicians.
El Salvador's membership in the House of Forty is due to his outstanding medical skills—he is not only innovative in medical theory but also a surgical genius! He can complete an amputation in just 50 seconds!
Such a speed is among the best in the world!
Indeed, in this era, the quality of a doctor is not judged by how many patients he can cure, but by how quickly he can amputate a patient's leg.
"So, Academician, you believe that this fever therapy cannot cure syphilis, is that right?"
El Salvador ignored the reporters' questions. But seeing the reporters blocking his way, as a medical authority, he felt it necessary to step forward and clarify the facts.
"Syphilis is an extremely stubborn disease. Over the past few centuries, countless doctors have tried all sorts of methods. Currently, the most effective is mercury therapy, but it can only alleviate symptoms to a certain extent and cannot cure the disease. As for the therapy invented by that gentleman you mentioned... does it work? I have seen countless patients die from mercury therapy."
After a slight pause, El Salvador continued:
"Fever therapy... My friends, haven't any of you ever had a fever?"
As he asked the question, Salvador burst into laughter. His question initially surprised the reporters present, but then everyone understood what he meant.
Yes, if fever therapy could really cure syphilis, then didn't they all have fevers? Obviously, they all had fevers, but were their syphilis cured?
the answer is negative!
Experts truly live up to their reputation, and academicians truly live up to their reputation! A simple rhetorical question directly pinpointed the crux of the matter!
In the group of reporters, someone suddenly asked a question loudly:
"Sir, are you saying that Mr. Louis was lying?"
Upon hearing this question, El Salvador frowned slightly:
"I don't want to label someone like that, but I believe his so-called fever therapy has no scientific basis whatsoever. Can fever cure syphilis? That's absurd."
After answering reporters' questions, El Salvador went into his hospital. As soon as he entered, his assistant asked:
"Sir, shall we try that fever therapy? I've heard that many doctors are currently conducting trials in this area."
Salvador glanced at his assistant's question, then snorted coldly.
"Luke, do you have any common sense?"
Then, filled with anticipation, he asked:
What surgeries are scheduled for today?
Rather than believing that fever can cure syphilis, El Salvador would rather have his leg amputated.
After all, I'm a professional... Do you think I'm an idiot?
