Chapter 99

"......Mr. Teacher, thank you so much!"

Just a minute after the lovely lady was revived, her husband continued to bow repeatedly, his face filled with gratitude as he thanked John incessantly, seemingly with no intention of stopping.

At the moment his wife was revived, the husband had experienced a journey from extreme terror to overwhelming joy, a drastic change that was so rapid he had yet to recover. After confirming that his wife was indeed fine, all he could do was keep thanking John.

"Sir, you don't have to do this."

John responded to the husband for the third time, smiling wryly, "And your wife is still very weak, she needs to be taken care of properly..."

"Thank you, Mr. Teacher!"

Perhaps John's words finally had an effect. After glancing at his still shaken wife, the husband nodded gratefully again and walked over to her side. Both mentally and physically, they could not continue to participate in the ball, so leaving and going home as soon as possible was the best choice.

Seeing all this, John secretly sighed in relief, but then he immediately smiled wryly again.

There were still countless people surrounding him!

It was no wonder the others were unwilling to leave. Just a minute ago, they had witnessed a miracle. When everyone thought the lady would not survive, a young doctor suddenly intervened and saved her from the grasp of death!

This was a miracle!

Joshua was excitedly explaining something to the late-arriving old Hunter and the others, while the rest of the people, after the husband left, swarmed around John. The middle-aged doctor who had tried to save the lady earlier exclaimed in disbelief, "Sir, I am Julian Philip from Charlotte Hospital. May I ask which hospital you are from? Could you tell me what method you used just now?"

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

Just as John was struggling to deal with the situation, unsure of what to do, Baron Cole, who had heard the entire story, pushed his way through with a smile and called out loudly, "Please calm down, everyone, please calm down!"

As the host of the ball, Baron Cole was naturally known to everyone, so the scene quickly quieted down.

Nodding in satisfaction, Baron Cole said with a smile, "This respected doctor is Mr. John Hunter. He is currently a student at the Medical School of Berlin University and is about to receive his bachelor's degree..."

At this point, Baron Cole hesitated slightly and did not mention John's status as a shareholder in the bicycle factory. But after a brief pause, he continued loudly, "I know everyone is very curious about what just happened. So now, let Mr. Hunter explain in detail!"

"Clap, clap, clap..."

As soon as Baron Cole finished speaking, enthusiastic applause broke out.

Originally, everyone was already very surprised because saving someone from the brink of death was already a shocking feat. Now, knowing that John had not even obtained his medical doctorate, everyone was even more curious. Especially Dr. Philip, who, upon hearing that John was just a student at Berlin University, was nothing but amazed.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

After Baron Cole smiled and stepped aside, John glanced at his equally surprised grandfather, smiled wryly to himself, and stepped forward to speak clearly, "The method I used just now is actually not complicated. Simply put, we can think of our lungs... well, the area in front of our chests as a large air sac, and our trachea... the tube connecting our chest to our mouth and nose, as the outlet of this air sac. Therefore, when it is blocked, by forcefully squeezing the air sac, the air inside can push out the foreign object..."

"Oh..."

The vivid explanation immediately made everyone understand.

Most of the people present were laymen, and although they might not understand the specific details like the trachea and air sac, they definitely grasped the general principle. The only professional, Dr. Philip, was stunned by John's explanation.

"Is it really that simple?"

Dr. Philip's expression was very strange as he couldn't help but ask.

"Really that simple!"

John spread his hands and answered, suppressing a smile.

Indeed, the principle of the Heimlich maneuver is that simple, but discovering it is not easy. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken nearly a hundred years for a doctor to provide a detailed explanation, which, along with the CPR technique John used to save someone in Central Park, became a key part of on-site emergency care!

"Mr. Hunter, could you demonstrate the method you used just now again?"

After resolving his doubts, Dr. Philip's professional spirit finally kicked in, and he stepped forward eagerly, saying loudly.

"Sure."

After a brief hesitation, John nodded and smiled, "If you're interested, everyone can learn it now. It might save the life of a friend or family member in the future..."

...

"Did you discover this method of saving people yourself?"

Standing in front of John, Anna Brister asked curiously in a soft voice. She had been with her mother among a group of women and only realized John was there when the commotion started. Seeing this impressive young man save someone and explain his actions, the girl's heart was deeply moved.

"Ha ha, yes."

John smiled and nodded, feeling a bit apologetic to Mr. Heimlich.

After dealing with the curious guests, especially the persistent Dr. Philip, John was already very tired. He had only casually answered his grandfather's questions. But now, seeing the beautiful and lovely Miss Anna, he immediately perked up.

It had to be said, Anna looked exceptionally beautiful today.

The new old-fashioned long dress, though a bit cumbersome, still showcased Anna's tall and perfect figure. Her pretty, fair face, flushed with excitement, added a touch of charm, making John, who already had a good impression of her, feel his heart race.

Biting her red lips, Anna's eyes shone with admiration as she said softly, "Mr. Hunter, are you planning to write a paper about this method and publish it, as Dr. Philip suggested?"

"Uh... I guess so."

John hesitated and smiled wryly to himself.

In fact, if it weren't for today's incident, he might never have thought of the Heimlich maneuver, let alone write a paper about it. But this unexpected event forced him to demonstrate it in front of countless people.

"If only I could delay it a bit."

Thinking about the paper he had just submitted and another one that Professor Bergmann was about to submit, John felt a headache coming on.

For other doctors of this era, the more papers, the better. Lister published hundreds of papers throughout his life, gradually building his academic status and reputation. But for John, his age was too young, and he had only recently entered the medical field. Achieving results too frequently could be troublesome for him.

Besides, each of these achievements was so significant!

"Great!"

After confirming with John, Anna became excited again. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly bit her lip shyly and said, "Mr. Hunter, are you planning to publish in a German medical journal? If so, could you give me a copy of the journal with your paper in it? I, I want to keep it as a memento!"

"Of course, no problem!"

John, captivated by the girl's cute expression, nodded without hesitation. With a beautiful woman in front of him, the concern about frequent achievements was forgotten... (To be continued)
