Chapter 207 Obscure Indications
"I think so. Your school has a profound foundation. Even the remaining information is enough to complete the experiment." Kraft pretended to walk towards the shelf and speeded up the browsing with his hands.
The records passed through his fingers and gathered in his mind. Kalman's unique cursive signature greatly accelerated the process.
Every time it appears, it means that a few pieces of equipment have disappeared from the warehouse, and at the same time, they are naturally mixed into the college's large purchase list and then added to it. No one will raise any objections to this.
Because these losses have clear and reasonable records: a small number of glass instruments are broken; most of the metal equipment has been exposed to patients with infectious diseases and is no longer stored in the warehouse for mixing with other equipment. It seems that Morrison's research direction is beginning to tilt toward infectious diseases. .
These include skin lesions and disfigurement caused by syphilis, a disease described as "vesicle warts in the private parts", subcutaneous abscesses, tuberculosis and hemoptysis, and physical deformities caused by leprosy. Many are considered to be contracted by those who have ungodly beliefs or live unclean lives. Disease types.
A considerable number of patients will choose not to seek medical treatment, which will soon lead to the formation of visible lesions on the body surface; or because of such diseases, they will be refused medical treatment and will not receive surgical treatment when needed.
Of course, except for incision and drainage of pus, which is somewhat effective, most other methods only cause more pain.
This has become a big blank, and few people are willing to get involved in this kind of field. If a suffix of surgical treatment is added to the end, it is basically impossible for anyone to do overlapping research.
So it's quite reasonable to use it as an excuse. Don't worry about people popping up frequently and saying they want to exchange relevant experiences.
Kalman also appeared to be serious but was actually coping, repeatedly using "contact with a patient with a severe infectious disease" as an excuse to explain the failure to return the equipment in full. The frequency is too high to be ignored, and the form and process are beyond reproach.
After writing these perfunctory notes, Kalman carefully signed a carefully arranged and designed cursive signature at the end.
A sense of dissonance that is difficult to describe is brewing in the text. It requires reading and analyzing the whole text to taste the meaning. It seems to be a deliberate design. It emits a subtle and implicit murmur across the time barrier, trying to convey some directional content to those who read carefully. who.
Only listeners with incredible tacit understanding can parse out information no clearer than the breaking of paper fibers in a specific scene and in a specific way.
Unsure if he counts as that person, or even if there really is a titular dead man, Kraft is speaking to someone months late through a borrowed record.
A code word, a code, a metaphor? Kraft sifted through the text he read, looking for possible cipher text in the layout and letter combinations. He did not gain any information. The only thing that could be confirmed was that the writer's logical thinking was very clear and he had escaped from breaking through the scope of cognition. I wrote these words out of the excitement and chaos brought about by my own will.
However, he cannot express his meaning directly, which means that this is information that goes against the wishes of the controller here.
Craft half ruled out the possibility of passwords or anonymity. What can be easily seen by oneself must also be easily seen by others. Moreover, under normal circumstances, no one will have the opportunity to hold the instrument for a long time and borrow the record book. Flip through.
If there were any instructions involved, it would be a more obvious and smarter method.
"There are dangers in the production of anesthetic drugs. I want to state in advance that it is important to have a safe experimental site and be prepared for losses." Since you can't understand it, then don't think about it first. What makes Kraft more concerned is that It's the equipment that disappeared.
There were too many metal instruments and too few glass containers. If Morrison could make any precise refinement with a few large round bottles and beakers, then he would have nothing to say.
But from an objective point of view, this is clearly a preparation for surgery, and it is not on a scale of just a few people. The rotation of the missing instruments is more than enough to support five or six Liston surgical clinics without stopping.
So where did this non-existent specialist hospital go? Or do they have another purpose?
Imagine those tools being picked up, razor blades running in dozens of hands, peeling away immeasurable amounts of tissue, producing piles of records that could reach over your head, and the endless investigation of the Inquisition finding nothing for its consumption. living or dead.
When Kalman came to Dunling, Morrison showed him such a project. No one could tell what was being dissected under the blade. All they knew was that it was enough to make Kalman, who came here thinking he had found his ultimate goal, flinch. He wanted to convey information, but could only be guided by inexplicable and obscure hints.
It was like he realized some ubiquitous force that could appear from any corner of the city.
But how is this possible? The dual forces of the church and the secular world firmly control this city. For such a power to appear out of thin air, unless there is a second Dunling to accommodate and become their living space.
【This is too outrageous】
This possibility is very slim. At most, it is a way to achieve effective monitoring and control of the participants.
"What the academy values is the time it takes to re-make instruments, not the cost." Willen took the brochure and browsed through the last few pages, affirming, "No one needs them recently, they can be used as they please, and we will create other experiments as soon as possible. Room, just environmental conditions."
"None of us care about these trivial matters. As long as we don't put too many flammable materials, it's best to do it on the dissecting stone table." Kraft waved his hand and said there was no need to worry, and he didn't care about issues other than safety.
The ether production experiment has successfully led him to the clue. The difficulty now is how to interpret this clue.
It must naturally lead interested investigators to the target. If you cannot interpret it, it only means that you are not the audience.
You have to make up for the information gap between the two people before you can enter into the other person's thinking. Without a clear goal, I could only find an entry point and try slowly. However, it was a bit difficult for a pure surgical professor to get involved.
Fortunately, he was prepared for this situation, "Lecturer Wilen, apart from anesthesia, I have another thing to do when I come to Dunling this time."
"Have you developed in other fields? You are really involved in a wide range of fields."
"Please allow me to introduce to you the Society for Tuberculosis and Rare Disease Medicine, a society established with permission and funding from the Duke of Westminster. The main topic of this society is to summarize the clinical characteristics of rare diseases, as well as research on the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis." One of the most common epidemics, in an era when effective control methods are lacking, there are almost no places where tuberculosis does not exist.
And once you are infected with an infectious disease, tuberculosis is a topic that cannot be avoided. Many of Kalman's reasons for discarding equipment are related to tuberculosis.
"Huh?" Viren didn't understand how a good professor of surgery could be related to tuberculosis, but the testimony of Fernand and Linden made the existence of this society beyond doubt.
"We hope to know the general situation of tuberculosis patients in Dunling. I wonder if you have anyone we can recommend."
I'm feeling a little unwell. I've been busy recently and need to adjust.
At the same time, we are also soliciting feedback about this volume.
