Crazy Psychologist

Two hours before the operation, Robert was sitting in front of the computer reading the patient's examination report. He was still waiting for the last examination result. At this time, Robert's right hand kept tapping on the table, and his neck and shoulders would twitch from time to time.

Both Mu Chun and Mu Xiao were a little worried, but the professor was sitting aside quietly drinking coffee, looking very confident in Robert.

The professor said: "Don't be nervous, you are too nervous. When he gets on the operating table, you will know what it means to be able to control everything."

The work on the operating table is very tedious, and you have to pay attention to more than a dozen things every minute. There is no room for distraction at this time. The characteristic of patients with Tourette's syndrome like Robert is that he is easily distracted. How can he adapt to surgery? what about work?

Robert also felt the worries of Mu Chun and Mu Xiao, and said, "A doctor like me might not be able to pass the medical qualification examination in your place, or he might not be recognized at all during his internship."

"This is not necessarily true. Although bias may exist anywhere, if you perform well, what matters is what you think." Muchun explained.

Robert was extremely satisfied with Muchun's explanation, and while twitching, he poked Muchun in his accustomed way. The professor looked on and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, the professor also suggested that we must see how crazy Robert was before the operation. He was simply a talented actor.

Robert walked to the sink first, took several deep breaths and twitched dozens of times, and then he began to clean his fingers, palms and arms. There are already strict process requirements for cleaning and disinfection before surgery, but in addition to complying with these rules, Robert also has his own set of very cumbersome processes that must be completed.

So he will leave himself enough time to complete all this. Rinse, spin dry, rinse, spin dry several times, then jump on your feet alternately, making an owl-like sound towards the white wall in front of you~~~~~~~

Wait a moment, Mu Chun, who was standing aside, just thought that the metaphor of the owl-like hoot seemed inaccurate, and felt that his calf was kicked twice by something. According to this rhythm, it should feel like two pokes, and Robert poked Chandeliers and poking desks follow the same rhythm.

God, Robert, you really turn me on.

Muchun thought to himself.

After a series of jumps were completed, Robert's assistant changed him into a surgical gown, and then he took care of everyone again, not allowing me to be distracted and not allowing anything to rush or affect my surgery.

For example, "Your ex-girlfriend called you and said she would come to the hospital to see you right away." This is prohibited.

For example, "Someone in the emergency room is about to give birth. Could you please ask Dr. Robert to come and help?" Prohibited.

For example, "Your dog suddenly has food poisoning and needs a gastric lavage." Prohibited.

The reason for explaining everything repeatedly is because Robert knows very well that he is easily disturbed by such things. Once he enters a certain ocean of attention, his body and brain will follow a smooth rhythm and effectively complete everything that should be done during the operation. matter.

But once this rhythm is disrupted he may never be able to enter this state of attention again, and he will be thrown from the sea to the beach and left panting to become an anxious fish dry.

After everything was explained and Robert started the operation, everything seemed like a miracle. Mu Chun and Mu Xiao could not imagine that the doctor in front of them who seamlessly integrated all aspects of the operation would be a Tourette doctor. disease patients.

He chatted with the nurse, told some decent jokes, and some romantic campus legends about vampires. Then he sutured the patient's wounds and removed the cysts. His hands and eyes never made a mistake for a second. He was full of energy. His concentration and coordination of his eyes, mind and hands are impeccable on the operating table.

Surgery is a highly skilled job, and most people may not be able to do it very well, but Robert did it well, and he did it very well.

No wonder Robert was very popular in the hospital. No one would criticize or laugh at his little problems. Here he was loved and respected by everyone.

Robert is lucky. Although his life is much more difficult than ordinary people, he has finally found the trajectory of his own survival and the direction of his efforts.

For people with Tourette syndrome, it is often difficult for them to regard their disease as something external, because many involuntary tics, impulsiveness, and even endless talking can make people around them feel that they are intentional.

In fact, these are an integral part of patients with Tourette's syndrome and a part of their lives.

Uncontrollable urges and tics take center stage in the lives of people with Tourette's syndrome, especially during their formative years, when they face all kinds of troubles, both internal and external, and find it difficult to see these troubles as external.

Although he is now able to get along well with his Tourette's disease, Robert still said when saying goodbye to Mu Chun and Mu Xiao, "This disease is not mild at all, and I can't thank it for anything." That's what he said. Yes, with helplessness and more helplessness.

Everyone can regard Tourette's syndrome as a funny or even deliberately funny behavior, but it is not gentle. What is even more frightening is that not many people in the world really understand how much pain it causes patients to endure.

It is like hidden epilepsy, with more frequent attacks. When faced with it, people have only a piece of self-control as thin as a piece of paper, or self-control is worthless in the face of Tourette's syndrome.

Facing the convulsions, strange noises and even rages that Tourette's syndrome requires patients to make, patients have only a little bit of weak strength left, but they have to divide this strength again, and divide a part to endure the strange looks and ridicule of people around them. , and the ridicule after dinner.

Muchun will never forget the scarred marks on Robert's refrigerator caused by the spread of dark rage, and will never forget that this disease is not only difficult to treat, but many people cannot even get an accurate diagnosis.

————

After reading the entire case record, Muchun stretched his arms and said, "I remember that Dr. Robert is a very likeable and respected person."

Mu Xiao was leaning in front of the bookshelf, holding a coffee cup. The two o'clock sunlight was outside the window sill on her right. Mu Chun found that there was also a pot of Pinellia ternata on the windowsill.

"Do you also like to grow this kind of plant?" Muchun stepped forward and looked at the very ordinary Pinellia ternata in a very ordinary flower pot.

"Well, because they are easy to raise, I often run around and cannot raise beautiful flowers." Mu Xiao explained casually.

Mu Chun felt that it was not that simple. There must be some connection between the two pots of Pinellia ternata. He secretly wrote this down in a notebook called "Two Mu Xiaos".

After thinking secretly for a moment, Mu Chun suddenly thought that there might be many other small details that could reveal the connection between the two Mu Xiaos. From these connections, we might be able to slowly find out how the two personalities of Mu Xiao changed and alternated. Which one is the main personality?

While Mu Chun was still thinking, Mu Xiao walked over, looked at him, and asked with concern, "Have you met a new patient with Tourette's syndrome?"

Mu Xiao was right, this was the reason why Mu Chun was eager to come to her.

"Well, yes, but I can't say it must be. I just feel and speculate." Mu Chun replied.

Although it can be inferred from Xie Chunping's narrative that Xie Chunping's child may indeed be a patient with Tourette's syndrome, everything must be diagnosed after seeing the child, so Mu Chun decided not to discuss the case of Xie Chunping's son Xie Xiaofei with Mu Xiao for the time being. Then he asked about Xiao Lanping's current situation.

Mu Xiao seems to know Xiao Lanping's situation very well. She said that Xiao Lanping is currently living in the sea and has recently dated a boyfriend. The boyfriend's name is Dahai. He is also a patient with Tourette's syndrome, and Dahai is also a patient. They are both musicians and they get along very well, making them an enviable couple.

"There will be a public welfare micro-film competition in May. Organizations or individuals can sign up. The prize money in this competition is pretty good. The first prize is a charity reward of 30,000 yuan, and the finalist prize is also 2,000 yuan, so I have recommended it to young people. Lanping, she and her boyfriend are applying to establish a [Home for Tourette Syndrome Patients]. They plan to film 5 Tourette Syndrome patients and record the daily lives of the patients in the form of documentaries. I think this is a very good idea. Angle.

Although you may not be able to win the first prize, this form can make more people in the society understand this disease, and many parents can also know early that some of their children's problems are not that they are bad or ignorant, but that they are - helpless of.

Don't let your children suffer more in vain. Many of them have already endured a lot.

The preliminary shooting plan for the other side of the sea has been determined, but it involves Dahai and Xiao Lanping needing to travel back and forth to five cities and three months of filming and production time. I decided to apply for part of the funding for them from our charity fund. Now that you have recovered your memory, this matter should be decided together by you. "

Of course Mu Chun supported this decision 100%. In addition, Mu Chun asked Mu Xiao, "Shooting requires a lot of equipment. How will their equipment be used?"

Mu Xiao smiled and said, "Teacher Mu Chun is really attentive. I had already thought of this before you came, so I called the [Blind Film Association]. Their person in charge heard that it was a micro-film for public welfare. We are very supportive, but it’s a pity that they mainly do some film narration work there, and they don’t have a camera that can be used for filming.

Although they didn't have it, the person in charge enthusiastically introduced me to the person in charge of the [Disabled Persons Travel Team], saying that they have photography equipment that is rented to disabled people on a daily basis, and some of it is quite good. If needed, just follow the procedures to rent it. Yes, the cost is almost free. "

"It seems that public welfare organizations are helping each other." Although Muchun was happy, he still felt a little disappointed.

His loss should be deeply hidden, but Mu Xiao seemed to see it. She didn't say anything, but just comforted Mu Chun, "Everything is from point to point. As long as there are always people who care about and people are always doing, everything will be fine." One day there will be a time when quantitative changes turn into qualitative changes.

When we first started doing charity, weren’t we just two people?

Last year, more than 100,000 people participated in the "Million Steps for Mental Health" worldwide, and thousands of puppies also participated. "

Hearing what Mu Xiao said, Mu Chun gained confidence again.

"Okay, let's continue. A single spark can start a prairie fire, and the stars will shine brightly, so look forward to it."

The two had just finished talking about the case when Zhang Wenwen appeared at the door. When he saw Muchun, it was like seeing a savior, "I really didn't know you were here. I originally wanted to ask Senior Xiao for advice. It's great that you are here. "

Mu Xiao turned around and looked out the window, while Mu Chun didn't know what to say to Zhang Wenwen. Does what he said just now mean that Mu Xiao's professional level is not as good as Mu Chun?

Zhang Wenwen seemed to realize that what he said was inappropriate, and he coughed quickly and explained: "Senior Xiao, I mean, just let Teacher Muchun handle this kind of rough work. Senior Xiao is responsible for being as beautiful as a flower. that is."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Mu Chun looking at him awkwardly. Zhang Wenwen shook his head and used some force on Mu Chun, but Mu Chun spread his hands and said on his face - What can I do now.

"Dr. Zhang Wenwen has encountered some illness that requires the help of the psychosomatic department. I will pour you a cup of coffee and you can talk about it now. There is a meeting at three o'clock, don't you need to go?"

After Mu Xiao reminded him, Zhang Wenwen immediately became serious, "Teacher Mu Chun, Teacher Mu Xiao, do you know this kind of patient? I received a patient who was referred from the internal medicine department. At first, he said he had a headache, and now He said that he couldn't sleep well at night, and even taking sleeping aids didn't help. He still had good days and bad days. The current examination at the neurology department showed nothing wrong. I was considering whether to send the patient to the Huayuan Bridge Hospital to see the psychosomatics department, but I wanted to do it. I want to go from the internal medicine department to the neurology department, and now I have to be transferred to another hospital for treatment in less than two weeks. It is really not easy for the patient to accept, right? The key is that I have not found any symptoms. I just have a headache and can’t sleep.”

"Is there anything else?" Mu Xiao asked.

Mu Chun smiled in his heart. It was indeed Mu Xiao. This was almost the most common thing Mu Xiao said. Whenever a case was discussed, she would always ask one more question. Is there anything else?

Mu Xiao also saw what Mu Chun was secretly laughing at, and turned around and said, "Doctor Mu Chun, listen carefully to the case."

Zhang Wenwen added: "So I thought of asking Senior Sister Xiao."

"I'm going to work on the second day today, and Dr. Zhang wants to introduce patients to me." Mu Xiao sat back in her seat, and Zhang Wenwen followed suit and sat on the chair opposite her.

"Actually, I mentioned it to Teacher Muchun before. This patient told me that he would see three of himself." After Zhang Wenwen finished speaking, he covered his mouth and touched his nose.

"Three of you?" Mu Xiao frowned worriedly.

Zhang Wenwen nodded and confirmed, "Yes, that's what he said, that there are three identical selves, but he knows that this is not an illusion, he thinks it is true."

"In this case, we should probably consider neuropathy, brain tumors or the like." Mu Chun remembered what he said to Zhang Wenwen last time.

"Nothing has been found so far, so I came to see Senior Sister Xiao." Zhang Wenwen emphasized again.

Considering the inconvenience of having patients travel across hospitals for treatment, Mu Xiao and Zhang Wenwen said: "If the patient is willing, I will be in the outpatient clinic all day on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. I may not be in the outpatient clinic at other times."

"Doesn't Dr. Mu Xiao work here every day? Or does he work more?" Zhang Wenwen asked curiously.

"I heard that Dr. Zhang from the Department of Neurosurgery is very free. Not only can he go to Huayuanqiao Hospital from time to time, but he can also take time off to visit abroad for a month or two. Do you have horns on your head? I am not as free as you. I have to be much busy. thing."

Mu Xiao said, opening a notebook and directly putting Mu Chun and Zhang Wenwen aside.

"Here," Zhang Wenwen looked at Muchun, "Why is Senior Sister Xiao's temper so hard to figure out? Is this how you fell in love before?"

Mu Chun and Mu Xiao were embarrassed by Zhang Wenwen's innocent question. Of course, there was nothing really embarrassing.

The two of them actually said in unison: "Yes, that's it."

Zhang Wenwen, who was completely convinced, really felt like "you can just get married on the spot".

————————

On Thursday morning, Mu Chungang planned to put Pinellia ternata outside the window to get some air, but he saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, and ten minutes later it started to rain heavily.

The rain was so fierce that the construction of the building opposite was forced to stop.

There may not be many patients in this kind of weather.

Mu Chun sighed in his heart. In winter and heavy rain, he always felt that something would happen.

Muchun was a little uneasy, and he became more and more convinced that his uneasiness usually did not mean anything good.

Chu Sisi knocked on the door and walked in, saying that there was no patient on the registration system and she happened to talk to the teacher about the patient's condition on Wednesday morning.

Chu Sisi recounted the case like a running account according to the method mentioned by Muchun before, and also expressed her own questions and troubles at the same time.

"That's the main thing." Chu Sisi said.

"Sounds like a [collecting addiction] patient?" Muchun asked.

"It seems so, but he said that he has always liked to collect girls' underwear. I think this is a bit strange. I don't know how to explain it. I think there are indeed such patients. What shouldn't be collected as a collection of things? The main criterion for judgment should be to consider whether it constitutes a "collecting habit"."

Chu Sisi said it very seriously, and she thought about these contents many times in her mind.

In the first outpatient clinic, Chu Sisi also followed what Mu Chun said and did [listening], [asking effective questions] and [collecting information]. Chu Sisi thought that compared with the previous outpatient treatment of Li Xiaoyun, this was also the first time. , this time she should do much better than last time.

In front of Li Xiaoyun, Chu Sisi could only nod and say "um" and "ah". Li Xiaoyun almost let Li Xiaoyun lead the way. As a doctor, Li Xiaoyun controlled everything.

But this time it was different. During her first outpatient treatment with Zhou Gang, Chu Sisi believed that she had strictly completed the necessary steps and the process was relatively smooth. However, she always felt that something was not quite right.

"Do you have questions about underwear?" Muchun asked.
