Fox of France

Of course, what is said in the preface is not important, the most important thing is whether the later paper deserves such praise. So a large group of followers couldn't wait to open the following content.

In the following papers, the author first thanked his mentor, Mr. Joseph Bonaparte, for his ideas and guidance, then how to identify different bacteria by staining techniques, and then in different patients The analysis and classification of samples obtained from wounds, blood, saliva, feces, etc., and then various animal experiments on animals, and then the summary and outlook of all the above contents. As for the last part, it is naturally the name of the first author, Carol O'Have, followed by the names of the corresponding authors, including Joseph Bonaparte and Antoine Lavoisier.

The structure of the thesis is not complicated, but the content is exceptionally rich. If the British want to verify the contents of this paper one by one, it is estimated that it will take a lot of time. But when they saw such a paper, people including the "England Press Union" and even people from the British Medical Association who opposed the French statement even more than them, have realized that verification and so on will never Bring them a result that meets their expectations.

In fact, when "Master Chris" sent the speculative article in "The Lancet", Dean James already believed 70% to 80% of this inference. The main reason why he fiercely opposed this view before was not because he didn't believe it, but because it threatened the interests of the doctors' union.

If such a point of view is admitted, it means that their hospitals, they doctors, should be responsible for the deaths of those patients who died in the hospitals. Although this responsibility does not refer to legal responsibility, it is impossible for someone to send them to prison or judge them to pay compensation to the family of the deceased. But moral responsibility alone can discredit them.

What's more, this loss is not just a simple "moral responsibility". Once acknowledging the views in The Lancet, it means acknowledging that British medicine is far behind the European continent. This is not only a matter of face, but also a matter of money.

Among other things, the various certifications of the British Medical Association will immediately become worthless, at least compared with the French certifications, they will immediately become worthless.

In the past, when those rich people were sick, although they would not go to the hospital to see a doctor, they would invite doctors to their homes to treat the patients. But if they admit the speculation in the "Lancet", and improve the hospital according to this, and thus get better treatment results. What would those rich people think?

Don't they feel that England is far behind France in medicine? When they get sick in the future, when they ask a doctor for a consultation, won't they first ask for a French doctor, then a doctor from the European continent, then a British doctor who has studied in France, and finally a native-born British doctor? And there is no doubt that the level of outpatient fees will definitely be arranged in this order. Doesn't this turn the dignified British doctor into a gypsy witch doctor?

How can such a thing be tolerated? If such a situation arises, who else would be willing to pay for a qualification certification from the English Medical Association? So even if the poor ghosts in the hospital were to die, this situation must not be allowed to happen!

So Dean James immediately notified the matter to the English Medical Association, and suggested that the association immediately hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures. At this meeting, everyone agreed that the speculation in The Lancet was groundless heresy, and any doctor who dared to follow the above suggestion should be disqualified from practicing medicine.

However, now, all these efforts and all their resistance are crushed to pieces in front of this paper, like a dung beetle standing in front of the wheels of a carriage.

Those in the Medical Guild of England were not worried about the reaction of the poor, most of whom were illiterate and had no time to think about such matters anyway. Besides, they're all stupid, and it's really not that hard to fool them. However, those rich people are different. They are very concerned about their physical health, and they are willing to spend money for it. What's more, they have enough knowledge and brains to understand this paper, and make judgments and choices that really suit their interests. And how will they choose, do you have to ask?

So when Dr. James saw this paper in The Lancet, he felt chills all over his body, his feet were weak, and he could hardly stand up. He slowly moved to the edge of the chair and sat down carefully, as if he was afraid that he would break something if he moved too much.

Sitting on the chair, Dr. James tightened his coat again, and then took a chance to read the paper carefully again, but his heart flustered so badly that his eyes blurred, The words in the magazine were not very clear either. After reading it for a long time, I finally saw the words through the gaps in the letters - there was a word written all over the paper: "Bankruptcy!"

Doctor James exclaimed, and threw the "Lancet" on the floor with a bang, which scared his assistant Eames to rush up from downstairs.

"Doctor James, what's wrong with you?" Ames' voice was panicked.

"No...it's nothing..." Dr. James wanted to stand up, but there was no strength in his legs, "I'm a little tired...help me pick up the book that fell on the floor..."

Ames saw that Dr. James was pale, as if he was sick. He hurried to pick up the copy of The Lancet.

"Don't look at it...just give it to me," said Dr. James.

Ames quickly put the book on Dr. James's desk.

"Doctor James, I don't think your face looks right. Are you sick? Would you like me to call a doctor for you?" Ames asked carefully.

"No, Eames. I'm a doctor myself, and I know, well, go get me a glass of water."

Eames went to get a glass of water and handed it to James. James took the water and drank it in one gulp. A full cup of hot water finally warmed him up a little.

"Eames, I need a little rest here," said Dr. James.

"Well, Doctor James, I'll be outside, just call me if you need anything." Eames said.

Dr. James watched his assistant retreat from the study and carefully closed the door, and he couldn't help thinking: "If he knows that it won't be long, my identity as a doctor, and the director of the 'England Doctors' Guild 'The identity is worthless, will he still treat me like this?"

Eames went out. Dr. James rested for a while, then stood up hard. He knew that this was the critical time, and they had to act immediately, otherwise, everything would be over.

He had just stood up when he heard a soft knock on the door.

"What's the matter?"

"Doctor James, President Edward has sent someone to ask you to go to the guild to attend an emergency meeting immediately." Ames' voice came from outside the door.

"Okay, I'll come." James said quickly.

When James arrived at the guild headquarters, he found that most of the directors had already arrived. Each of them was pale, and each of them was gritting their teeth and whispering something, their eyes were full of fear and hatred.

After a while, all the directors arrived. Such things are not common. Generally speaking, at least one-third of the directors will not be present at each meeting unless they are notified repeatedly in advance, and half of the remaining directors will be late for at least half an hour. hours or more.

"Now that everyone is here, let's watch the meeting." The chairman, Dr. Edward, said, "Everyone knows the reason for the meeting. The question now is, what should we do now?"

"I think we need to verify first to see if there is any problem here..." a voice said hesitantly.

"What do you think?" President Edward asked.

"Verification is of course to be verified. But I don't think everyone should have too much hope for it." Another director said, "A few days ago, I was entrusted by President Edward to go to France. Investigations were carried out in some hospitals in France."

"How is the situation?" Many directors asked.

"As they say, their hospitals are a lot cleaner... what's more, the infection and death rate are a lot lower. So... don't get your hopes up about the verification thing. It's impossible for the French not to Verify and publish something like this.”

"Then what should we do?" Someone asked in panic.

"We have to act and find a way to get the police to ban The Lancet?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Those Whigs can't stop laughing. It's too late to ban "The Lancet" now. Doing so will only let more people know all this sooner... This is really . . . it's really scary!"

One useless guy even just started wailing.

One person took the lead in crying, and the others couldn't help it immediately, so more people also started crying. The whole meeting room was full of crying, it seemed that this was not an ordinary meeting, Rather, it was a farewell ceremony for the participants' own remains. Even President Edward almost cried because of this atmosphere.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen," President Edward yelled twice, but no one paid attention to him, and everyone was busy crying to themselves.

"Crack! Crack!" In desperation, President Edward picked up his cane and slammed it on the table, "Don't cry, don't cry! The purpose of asking everyone to come to the meeting is to find a way to save as much as possible." The ones who are lost are not for making everyone cry, those who want to cry go back and cry!"

Everyone gradually stopped crying.

"President, now only you can make up your mind." A director said in a tearful voice.

"Yes, yes, only you have an idea." More people said.

President Edward sighed, and said rather bitterly: "Well, gentlemen, now things have happened and we have lost, so don't get too entangled in the things that have already failed. Let's admit defeat first, Go and surrender to the French, and quickly. Just like in war, the first to surrender will always get some preferential treatment. The French should still need us..."
