Start as an Emergency Physician

The system said: "At present, there are only three tasks that have been claimed. "

Zhou Yuan frowned, "Then what kind of fart are you talking about?"

System: "After the system is upgraded, the task system will be fully opened, and you can view the tasks directly on the system interface. Also, the number of tasks will increase dramatically. "

Zhou Yuan was a little surprised.

He was still worried that after he became the vice dean, the task of "Superior's Approval" from the source of the treasure chest would be abolished because of his high position, but if he could get more tasks after the system was upgraded, he might not need to worry about not having a treasure chest!

"What are the specific tasks?" Zhou Yuan asked subconsciously.

Surprisingly, this time the system did not say that it did not know, but replied seriously: "The simplest task, such as treating a certain patient, the system will randomly issue a task, it may be a certain patient, or it may be a certain disease, and you can get a reward after being cured." "

"At the same time, there are knife missions, special missions, and so on. "

Flying knives are something that has existed in the medical field for a long time, and most people call it "flying knives".

Flying knives exist all over the world, such as heart, cranial and nerve surgery, the diagnosis and treatment capacity of primary medical institutions is insufficient, and the success rate of surgery is very low, but it is not the best choice for patients to go to large hospitals in other places for medical treatment, and experts from other places are often invited at this time.

Not only the patients benefit, but also the local doctors will be able to observe and learn from experts from other places.

Patients are treated by high-level specialists, local doctors are given the opportunity to learn, and specialists who are brought in for flying knives can also enrich their surgical experience and earn additional income.

Zhou Yuan's current mastery of the technique is absolutely more than enough to become a flying knife doctor.

According to the system, the task panel may get more treasure chests than the current task "Praise from the Superior", and the speed of Zhou Yuan's mastery of medical skills will be further improved at that time!

It seems that the upgrade of the system must be completed as soon as possible.

Zhou Yuan came back to his senses, and after processing Duan Hongwei's medical records, he began to conduct his daily rounds.

Now Zhou Yuan is most concerned about Qian Wei.

Research on depression has begun, and Zhou Yuan has made progress to some extent. And other aspects, such as the specific reason why Qian Haobo died of the new thrombolytic drugs, including Duan Hongwei's matter, are not something that Zhou Yuan can solve by his own strength.

Qian Wei's depression is very typical, which can be seen from the prompts of the system task.

The goal of Zhou Yuan's research this time is also very clear, that is, to prove that the occurrence and performance of depression are not only related to psychological factors, but also related to some abnormalities in brain structure and function. To put it simply, depression is classified as a type of brain disease.

In country Z, and even in the international community, people attribute the extreme emotions manifested by depression to poor mental regulation, but after Zhou Yuan's research, it seems that it is not so simple...

Zhou Yuan's main attention was on the hippocampus.

For patients with depression, Zhou Yuan suspects that the functional areas of their brains responsible for memory and emotion control have changed, and may even be shrunk or damaged, so that they are unable to regulate their emotions and develop depression.

The hippocampus is the part of the body that humans use to remember and control emotions.

In addition to the hippocampus, structures such as the amygdala and prefrontal lobe in the brain also play a similar role.

For example, the amygdala, which is a part of the emotional control, becomes particularly active when people are sad.

The prefrontal lobe region is responsible for the high-end things, mainly responsible for social cognition and other high-level cognition, and the current frontal lobe is affected, and the patient's various high-level cognitive functions as a human will be affected, which is similar to sluggishness.

If these parts of Qian Wei are not as good as the films he shot when he was first hospitalized, then this aspect needs to be considered.

Qian Wei's illness when he was hospitalized was acute myocardial infarction, and a series of examinations were done at that time, including cerebral angiography, brain CT, etc., so it was very convenient to compare.

When he pushed the door in, Qian Wei was lying on the bed.

The latter didn't fall asleep, nor did he do anything, just lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling, this scene looked very weird, but Zhou Yuan had become accustomed to it recently.

Qian Wei's wife happened to be away, and he didn't know whether to go back to prepare lunch or do something.

"Doctor. "

Hearing Zhou Yuan come in, Qian Wei said a greeting weakly, and even the three words "Doctor Zhou" were shortened to two words.

Zhou Yuan nodded, with the assistance of a psychiatrist, Qian Wei's condition recovered relatively well, at least not serious.

There is an unwritten rule about psychiatric disorders, and since they are difficult to treat with conventional means such as medication or surgery, as long as they do not worsen, it is good news.

"Actually, I think I'm quite lucky..."Qian Wei, who had been silent, said suddenly.

Zhou Yuan had already turned on the voice recorder, which had been discussed with Qian Wei before.

Qian Wei continued: "I recently learned that even in those developed countries, about 50 percent of people with depression do not receive treatment. And in low-income countries, it's even more staggering, with 80 to 90 percent of people suffering from depression who have never been treated!"

Zhou Yuan's expression was a little solemn.

These things that Qian Wei said are all facts, in addition to the fact that mental illness is not taken seriously, there is another important reason, that is, the number of psychiatrists is seriously insufficient!

Take country Z as an example, there are only 1,650 mental health professional institutions in the country, and this is not counting some small psychiatric rehabilitation centers, etc., if you want to take regular psychiatric hospitals as an example, I am afraid that there will not be more than 1,000...

And this number, if it is replaced by regular hospitals, I am afraid that there are thousands in a province.

Not only are mental health institutions scarce, psychiatrists are also a precious resource, the number of psychiatrists in the world is probably only 20,000 or 30,000, and the current situation in country Z is that an average of 100,000 people can have a psychiatrist.

It is indeed a very happy thing to be able to receive regular treatment.

Zhou Yuan chatted with Qian Wei about some relaxed things, which gradually relaxed Qian Wei's mood, and then invited colleagues from the imaging department to do a few brain examinations for Qian Wei.

One of them is magnetic resonance imaging, which focuses on the hippocampus, amygdala, prefrontal lobe, striatum, and so on.

Half an hour later, all the results came out, and Zhou Yuan was a little excited, what the results of this time might be able to determine the next direction of the entire study.

Even...... Influencing treatment options for people with depression around the world!
