Crazy Psychologist

"Hello, I am very happy that more patients from our side can gain a complete life from this operation."

"I also hope I can do a good job, like my teacher Professor Lewis, I hope I can do a good job."

What Zhang Wenwen said was true.

Jiang Feng nodded and took off his mask, "I think this is a very meaningful thing, even though it seems crazy.

But compared to those things that humans say are obviously crazy, but are said to be very meaningful, this thing looks so beautiful. "

Zhang Wenwen didn't understand the meaning of this very philosophical statement. Anyway, it seemed that this compatriot accepted the fact that he was working in place of Professor Lewis, and in his opinion, this was a wonderful thing.

This is enough!

The medical center is located in the Rama 9 area, in an office building attached to a large shopping mall.

The examination was jointly conducted by the chief surgeon and Dr. Brown, and Zhang Wenwen did not need to stay in the examination room.

One of the reasons is that Dr. Brown has not yet received confirmation from the surgeon. The surgeon is not yet fully aware that Professor Lewis is no longer in charge of the treatment team. The surgery is imminent, and Brown does not think there is a rush to introduce Zhang Wenwen to him.

Everything is still focused on ensuring the smooth operation and patient safety.

At 12:30 noon, Zhang Wenwen was called back to the treatment center by Dr. Brown's phone call.

The atmosphere in the office was a little tense. Dr. Brown was holding the coffee but couldn't take a sip.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Wenwen asked.

"Everything checked out fine, just like the previous online self-assessment. However, some problems were discovered during this on-site test."

"what is the problem?"

Seeing that Dr. Brown looked so nervous, Zhang Wenwen moved a chair and sat down, and took the initiative to pick up the examination report on the table and read it.

"Is there any physical disease that makes surgery inappropriate?"

"No, there are no problems with the blood test and physical examination."

Dr. Brown shook his head.

"What's the problem? You said that his test results are different from the previous test results. What do you mean?"

Obviously, Dr. Brown seems to have never encountered a situation like Jiang Feng's.

"Galvanic skin response test, you should know the results of this test. Galvanic skin response test is not an advanced test, but during the examination of BIID patients, Professor Lewis still recommends retaining this traditional test.

Generally speaking, galvanic skin response is not under volitional control. Most people experience an increased galvanic skin response when they are touched, hear harsh noises, or experience significant emotional stimulation. When BIID patients use needles to prick parts of their limbs that they feel do not belong to them, the galvanic skin response will be stronger than the reaction of needle pricking normal limb parts, increasing by two to three times. BIID researchers have always had a clear idea of ​​this. The explanation is that patients feel more threatened when the needle goes into the part of their leg they want to amputate. "

After Dr. Brown finished speaking, Zhang Wenwen shook his head and sighed: "This is really ironic. It is completely contrary to common sense."

"Yes." Dr. Brown continued: "When you try to slap parts of the limbs that BIID patients think do not belong to them and normal limb parts, they report earlier that they feel the slaps on the limbs that they think do not belong to them. The patient's brain will process these tactile stimuli with greater priority."

"I understand, so this Tao Qian's situation is the opposite? He thinks that the parts of the limbs that do not belong to him are not enhanced during the stimulation of the skin's electrical response?"

"Indeed, that's why I'm troubled now because his MRI results are consistent with the BIID cortical atlas."

Zhang Wenwen looked at the examination report again and frowned tightly. In this way, if it were the opposite, what other diseases would have similar symptoms.

At this time, Zhang Wenwen thought of Muchun. If this guy were here, the question and answer questions would become rush questions.

Haha, it's a pity that he is on the other side of the equator.

"[Hemispatial Syndrome] may also have such a problem." Zhang Wenwen said.

"Yeah, that's true, so we did the test and that was ruled out and he did perfect on the test."

"What else? By the way, there is something called [Body Identity Disorder] in psychiatry. Maybe Tao Qian is this [Body Identity Disorder] or [Body Delusion]. Patients with [Body Delusion] often deny that they have right Legs or arms, or even denying the existence of an entire side of their body.

"But" Zhang Wenwen touched his chin and said helplessly: "But this situation more often occurs in people who have lost part of their limbs due to some reasons, rather than Tao Qian's situation. "

"Yes, so now I am more inclined to think that he is not suitable for surgery. You have to know that once we amputate the leg and then find out what a ridiculous decision it is, the whole life is almost ruined." After Brown said this, He reluctantly took a sip of coffee.

"Is it true that no patient has regretted it before?" Zhang Wenwen really couldn't understand how a person could desperately want to take his legs away from his body. It is unacceptable in terms of appearance and practicality.

"Our chief surgeon is 49 years old. Mr. Tao's surgery was originally his 30th BIID surgery. I still remember him telling me during his first surgery, 'My whole brain was confused. I almost suspected that I had committed murder. I should see a psychiatrist because of the potential tendency of madness.’ Then for a whole month, he couldn’t sleep. When he finally fell asleep, he would wake up again. He is a doctor and also a poetry lover. He wrote that paragraph The poem I wrote was sent to my mailbox, and I was deeply impressed.

The old professor stepped on high heels,

The crystal chandelier fell to the ground,

Crunch, crunch, the heel breaks the glass

Crunch, crunch, crumble, crumble. "

*********

"Is it a dream about amputation surgery?" Zhang Wenwen asked doubtfully.

"I think it's more like a dream about pain and brokenness. I'm not a master of dream interpretation. You should know Professor Lewis's wife."

"Professor Meier, a psychoanalyst. Yes, she is an expert in dream interpretation." Zhang Wenwen replied.

"Yes, Professor Mel told me that my idea may be correct, it is about pain and broken dreams. On Friday of that week, after school, Professor Lewis took a plane to Thailand and met the doctor We met, had dinner, and then Professor Lewis stayed here for a full week. He wanted to help the doctor improve his sleep, because it is difficult for us to find such a collaborator as reliable as him.

Zhang, you should understand that there are many doctors who want to make money from this kind of surgery, but a reliable, excellent, and high-moral collaborator is very important to Professor Lewis and me, and more importantly to BIID patients. What an important thing. "
