Nineteenth Century Medical Guide

Chapter 340 336. Carvey, what do you want?
After a brief preoperative discussion, Carvey settled on a series of strange things.It included five jars, more than ten rubber tubes, and several natural sponges that cost several hundred francs each.

The bottle is easy to get, it is in the warehouse.The material of the rubber tube is not cheap, and the difficulty is slightly higher, but as long as you drop one or two hundred francs at the rubber factory, someone will take it to the hospital in a carriage tomorrow.

The key lies in the natural sponge.

There are no modern man-made sponges, only natural sponges that existed in the sea in the 19th century.However, there are very few types of natural sponges that can be used. European nobles use high-quality sponges produced on several Greek islands.

This kind of sponge requires heavy diving suits on board divers, and dives to the bottom of the sea to slowly pick it.After landing, it undergoes repeated filtration and washing to remove marine impurities such as seaweed, sand, fine shells, etc., and then undergoes certain pruning, bleaching and other dozens of procedures to complete.

Every sponge is precious.

Cedieu knew that Carvey was going to use the sponge on the patient, most likely the incision, but he didn't know why.Moreover, it would have been inappropriate to put such a luxury on the ass of an ordinary worker.

Contributing to golf allowed him to see useful stuffing techniques, but what can contributing sponges see?
The hospital has given free medical care to civilians, why do you have to take out the things you use when you are a doctor yourself?Just to wash the pus off the ass?

Cedieu is a surgeon who saves lives and heals the wounded, but at the same time he is also a high-ranking nobleman.Even though the nobility has declined, he still owns his own small manor and several apartments, with an annual income of nearly 20 francs.

The huge difference in class prevented him from crossing this barrier.

"I don't know what this guy thinks, but he has to use so many good things just for the pg pus patients." Cedieu roughly estimated the price of these things, "It's not counting sponges, just those few rubber tubes It costs more than 100 francs. If everyone uses it like this, how can the hospital afford it.”

"What should I do now?" The assistant said with the list of items in his hand, "He asked for five yuan for a natural sponge, which is too expensive, and the hospital doesn't have it. Do you want to refuse him?"

"Refused? Hehe"

It is obviously impossible to refuse. The complaint just now is also Sediyo's personal opinion. In the end, it was the hospital that spent the money, not him: "The other party came to perform the surgery demonstration. Since the request is not too much, it is not too much. If you can satisfy it, you will be satisfied." Well, or that Edward is going to start barking again."

"Natural sponges can only be bought." Cedieu sighed and took out his pockets, and took out a few banknotes to his assistant, "Go to the nearest pier on the Canal Saint-Martin, there should be high-quality sponges shipped from Greece."

"understood."

"Just choose the most expensive and the most absorbent one."

"Okay then." The assistant wrote down the address with a note, and the topic finally came to the last thing, "What about the more than 100 cockroaches that Dr. Carvey wants?"

"You ask me? You still ask me this kind of question?" Cedieu felt disgusted when he heard it, frowned tightly, and asked, "Do you want me to help you catch cockroaches, or do you think I can find them for you?" The location of the cockroach nest, and then catch it with you?"

"No no no, I just feel"

"Don't feel anything, he wants it tomorrow, why don't you hurry up and get it?" Cedieu thought more and more strangely, but there was nothing he could do, "Don't you expect those little things to go into the bottles and jars by themselves?" , say 'here I come', and wait for them to close the lid on themselves?"

"sorry Sorry!"

The assistant bowed deeply to express his apology, and then trotted out of the director's office with his notebook.

What Carvey asked for was so strange that doctors who had been following the traditional route were puzzled.If there is still a trace of choosing a natural sponge, then it is too self-indulgent to ask for a bunch of cockroaches.

What are limp sponges and filthy bugs for?
But those who have seen his technology will only feel puzzled, and will not question it, because they know that this young man always has his own reasons for wanting these things, and they are often right.

No one knew why Carvey had so many operations, and no one knew why he was willing to spend so much to prepare an abscess incision that was completely dependent on luck.But in Carvey's eyes, this independent treatment plan that can be set according to personal wishes regardless of economic benefits makes him very happy.

Having no interest in money, he once again sighed that money is a good thing, but he doesn't know what the result will be after spending such a large amount of money.

It stands to reason that self-made ones are definitely not as easy to use as modern high-end products that cost thousands of yuan. As long as they can be drained stably, they can be regarded as good things.If it is really effective, it can be used to promote it.

"Dr. Carvey. Dr. Carvey"

"Huh? Uh, I'm sorry, I was tired for a day and I was a little distracted just now." Carvey looked at the middle-aged man lying on the bed in front of him, a little dazed, "I saw the wound, and it was indeed lying down for too long. Turn over more."

"I've followed your orders."

"As long as he doesn't sleep well, help him turn over and pat his back three times a day." Carvey made a hollow palm gesture, "I taught you before, pat slowly from bottom to top."

"Well, I remember."

"As for these wounds." Carvey looked at the ointment and gauze on the table, nodded and said, "Use the ones from the surgery first, remember not to touch the water."

"Ok."

"I'll bring you a new potion after a few days and let me try it."

"Okay okay."

After a simple home visit, Carvey got into the carriage and went to a cafe near the Drouot auction house. Gustav, the apprentice who had been struggling to see Carvey before, was waiting for him here.

From the moment Gustav met Kawei, this peer gave him a feeling of being with his teacher Bernard.

It's not that the atmosphere is too depressing or too much pressure, it's just a very pure personal temperament, and it doesn't even have anything to do with conversation and behavior.Because from the way he drinks coffee, it can be seen that this is a mud-legged person, and the so-called noble title must have been added later.

One is 50 or [-] years old, and the other is not yet [-]. How does it look like?
This question runs through the entire conversation.

"Sorry for being late, there are a lot of patients today."

"It's okay, anyway, I have plenty of time at night."

Apart from wanting to get acquainted with Kavi, Gustav mainly has to complete the follow-up business of the auction arranged by his teacher. After all, the buyer has to pay an extra 5-8% commission, and after-sales service directly determines the influence of the brand, so there must be no problems :
"I have given several transportation plans just now, but it needs a specialist to connect at the Vienna Railway Station, and then transport it to your personal warehouse by horse-drawn carriage. If you think there is no problem, please sign this form."

Carvey took the pen and glanced at the receipt: "There is no problem with the reception, the problem lies in the warehouse."

"No warehouse?"

"kindness."

In fact, it is not difficult to set up a warehouse in Vienna, but Carvey still does not want to make too much publicity, and at the same time he does not have 100% trust in Laszlo.A monopoly capitalist like that does not have a strict bottom line, and is too deeply bound to the empire. At least 1/3 of Vienna's infrastructure is related to him.

This is not a question of whether Laszlo will betray him, but that he can betray anytime and anywhere if he wants to, and he can chew Kavi until there is no bone left.

Carvey doesn't like this kind of state where he has to ask Laszlo for help in everything. He has no sense of security, and of course he can't completely decouple from him. The pharmaceutical factory and the subsequent equipment factory must be maintained.When the laboratory grows in the future, maybe there will be deeper cooperation.

Of course, these are all things for later, and Kavey has no plans in this regard.

"Can you find someone here to help?" He put down his pen, put a piece of cake into his mouth, looked at Gustav and said with a smile, "I think you are fine, and you know German, how about helping me?" I go for a trip?"

Faced with the sudden trust, Gustav was a little surprised: "Me? I still need to study with Mr. Bernard for a while, and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a few months."

"As long as you arrange these collections in a low-key way, you can come back to continue studying after I arrive in Vienna." Carvey said with a smile, "The commission commission is not a problem, the key is that you are Drouot's apprentice, and your reputation should be guaranteed. "

"It's not about money."

Gustav really wanted to help make this rare friend, but being responsible for the transportation of auction items was inherently risky, so he was a little self-aware: "I am an apprentice, and I am not familiar with the place in Vienna, so it is easy to make mistakes. These are worthwhile More than [-] francs, I can't afford any mistakes."

"can't go"

Carvey had a bit of a headache, admitting that he was really anxious to participate in the auction at the beginning, and he didn't make the preparations he should have.Now I am cramming, and I can only admit to it and solve it slowly when I encounter troubles: "How much will it cost to leave all the things in the auction house's warehouse?"

"We stay for free until the 15th of the next month, which is one month."

"Will you have to pay rent every day?"

"Well, the storage fee is 2-5 francs per day for each item, which is priced according to the occupied area and the auction price of the item itself. If it takes too long, it will not work, and the storage fee will rise further after a long time."

If it's just a single item, this amount of money is nothing at all, but now the number of items is obviously a bit too much.Little things add up, and even Kavey feels a pain in the flesh, the main thing is that there is no need for any waste at all.

"What about finding an apartment in Paris to use as a warehouse?"

"The rent is not cheap, the key is how to keep them safe." Gustav has studied for a few months and has some experience in this area. People are reliable enough not to engage in petty theft."

Having said that, Carvey finally understands that he has only two ways to go, either transport the things away, or let Drouot Auction House keep them for him.

If you choose to deliver it to the auction house for safekeeping, Carvey will have to pay at least hundreds of francs for safekeeping every day.Even if the one-month period expires and I return to Vienna by myself, I still need to spend more time to solve the warehouse and guard problems.After all these are dealt with, including the time of telegrams back and forth, it will cost more than 1000 francs at least.

If he left Paris halfway, he would have to go back and forth for several days to attract the attention of many people. Those assistants were also indispensable, and Carvey was not close enough to share private affairs with them.

"If it really doesn't work, you can only stay in the warehouse for a while."

Gustav nodded, and changed a storage receipt: "Then, if this is the case, you have to sign this one. Because some lots may require experts to maintain them, this is not the job of our auction house. If there is any wear and tear Nothing to do with Drouot."

After hearing this, Carvey felt a drum in his heart: cross-banking is really troublesome enough.

The choice was put on hold again, and he couldn't think of any good way to avoid the expense for a while, and Gustav couldn't give good advice.

The two just sat there, drinking coffee and chatting without saying a word.

At the beginning, it only revolved around Karvey's career and interest in oriental art. Karvey also made it clear that art is more for investment.Then we talked about Gustav's ideals, but as the chat got deeper and deeper, Carvey found that he seemed to have missed some key information
"Your home is in Switzerland?"

"Yes, my grandfather opened a small bank in Winterthur, which has been in operation until now."

"That's a nice little bank."

"It's pretty good. If it wasn't for me being unable to stay, I might already be working in the bank now. I live a comfortable life and don't have to look at other people's faces." Gustav said with a wry smile, "But when I think about the future, I can only stay Living a simple day-to-day life in this bank is not reconciled to me."

"The bank will definitely grow bigger in the future."

"In fact, it can no longer be called a small bank. After all, it is a neutral country. You must know that before the Prussian-Prussian War, our family received deposits from several rich people."

Anyway, it is his own family business, even if Gustav is not interested, he still has some understanding: "By the way, if Dr. Carvey is interested, he can open an account there. Even if the whole of Europe is smashed, our security is absolutely guaranteed. It won't go wrong."

At this time, the Swiss Bank can not be compared with World War II, but the name of the neutral country has been shouted.

As far as Carvey knows, Switzerland was very safe in World War I and World War II, otherwise it would not have attracted so much foreign capital after World War II.

Compared with small Switzerland, Joseph's ambitions are great, but unfortunately the internal affairs of the empire are quite bad, and the future of the whole country is uncertain.

There is a close relationship between his work and high-level, and he will not leave Vienna easily unless it is absolutely necessary.But after experiencing the war, he also needed to find a way out of Vienna.

Now seems like a good opportunity.

"If you have a safe business, such as storing my collection, and you can keep them safe, I would be interested in opening an account in Switzerland."
