Chapter 207 Use Your Intuition at This Time

Mu Chun, who couldn't find the "customer service" to solve his doubts, had no solution for the time being. He just felt that his head hurt more after drinking a few sips of coffee.

He tried to think about what happened around him recently. The most recent one was Ding Jiajun's matter, but he should have obviously improved a lot. Next, he just needed to ask Lao Qian to help him attend more funerals and draw more portraits, and the sadness would slowly dissipate.

Ding Jiajun did not completely belong to the [Zombie Syndrome]. In Mu Chun's memory, [Zombie Syndrome] has a more professional name - [Cotard's Syndrome].

Mu Chun didn't know how Liu Dandan knew about [Zombie Syndrome]. Maybe he, like Zhang Wenwen, would also be one of the [Equipment]. If the equipment is all people, Mu Chun thinks that the system should change [Equipment] to [Team] for better results.

Ding Jiajun's symptoms look very much like [Cotard's Syndrome] patients. [Cotard's Syndrome] is a rare mental delusion. Although the patient is conscious, he believes that he is dead, does not exist, or only exists in spirit.

In 1880, French neurologist Cotard first proposed that this was a disease, calling it "negation delirium", and people have named this disease after him since then.

Due to the scarcity of cases (only hundreds of patients have been found worldwide), the judgments and analyses of different doctors are still controversial, so people's understanding of [Cotard's disease] is still very limited.

[Cotard's disease] patients will firmly believe that they are brain dead, and think that they have become "living dead" or "zombies", and lose the desire to eat, drink and talk; patients often lose the intuitive sense of smell and taste, and the brain function is low, like the state of becoming a vegetative person.

Those with severe symptoms often think that they should belong to the "cemetery" or "graveyard" because that is where the dead should be.

Some patients have a sense of frustration of self-destruction, self-mutilation, self-annihilation, and ending their lives.

Some patients also believe that they are "immortal" and do not need to eat, but only need a small amount of drinking water.

As a result, the body will starve to death due to long-term malnutrition.

As far as Muchun knows, observing the metabolic activity of the patient's brain through positron tomography can help diagnose Cotard's disease. Due to endocrine disorders in the brain, the parietal lobe and frontal lobe in the patient's brain responsible for cognition and judgment cannot function normally.

It should have been better to issue an examination form earlier, and I could have earned some bonuses.

However, Ding Jiajun's purpose of coming to the hospital twice was very clear. The first thing was to come to the hospital to issue a [Medical Certificate of Resident Death], and the second thing was to receive the [Medical Certificate of Resident Death]. Under the circumstances, Ding Jiajun's consciousness was not completely clear, and he was almost completely trapped in the "fact" that he had died.

Unless Ding Jiajun was forcibly tied up, or Ding Jiajun was asked to undergo an examination on the grounds that "the hospital needs to check whether the patient's brain is dead." But the former cannot be done, and the latter is very unreasonable in logic and is too easy to be questioned by patients.

In the early stage of treatment, the patient's doubts will not be of any benefit to the treatment. It is more likely that the patient will leave; the patient will go to another place for treatment; the patient will not be treated.

It takes time and time to get along with each other when encountering problems and figuring them out

Mu Chun shook his head. Isn't it Ding Jiajun's problem?

But Mu Chun still has doubts about Ding Jiajun's diagnosis. The first and most obvious point is that Ding Jiajun is too clean.

Too clean!

A patient with Cotard's syndrome is usually in a state of severe depression and low mobility. To describe it in a vivid and easy-to-understand word is - vegetative state.

It is difficult for a person in such a low mobility state to stay so clean. He even pays more attention to the cleanliness of his appearance than ordinary men.

Mu Chun has been very concerned about this from the beginning.

In addition, Ding Jiajun is not not eating. During the two days of busying with Lao Qian, when Mu Chun ate buns, Ding Jiajun would also eat, and his eating posture was very gentle. At first glance, he is a person with high cultural literacy.

The last point is Ding Jiajun's behavior in the funeral home. He helped the makeup artist to draw and helped Zhang Mingyou write a eulogy. He has clear ideas and strong mobility.

After the memorial service, when he walked out of the funeral home, it was obvious that he had regained a lot of vitality, and his self-awareness when speaking was also at a normal level.

What else was not noticed?

Could it be?

Mu Chun suddenly realized what [Crisis Warning] meant. This crisis might be a very simple reference, referring to one thing - suicide.

Regardless of whether Ding Jiajun had [Cotard's Syndrome] before, whether it was or not, there was one thing that should not be ignored and absolutely could not be ignored.

The great sadness buried in Ding Jiajun.

This is a person in great sadness. Regardless of whether it is [Cotard's Syndrome], a person in great sadness may take actions to give up his life.

What's more, Ding Jiajun is not so depressed that he loses his ability to act, or like a typical [Cotard's Syndrome] patient who thinks he should lie in a coffin and be buried in a cemetery.

Ding Jiajun has enough action to support suicide, and he has the power to do it.

And he has a good self-awareness to plan this matter.

Yes, this is what [Crisis Warning] wants to remind him.

Mu Chun rushed out of the clinic and ran all the way to the second floor. He didn't care about Qi Rong's contemptuous expression and pulled Liu Dandan out of the internal medicine clinic.

Liu Dandan was a little lost, flattered, and at a loss, "Hey, hey, Doctor Mu, Doctor Mu, what's wrong?"

"Do you know where Ding Jiajun usually goes? Is there anyone particularly important? Or does he have any particularly important works on display somewhere?"

Mu Chun spoke too quickly, and Liu Dandan didn't react for a while, but soon, he understood everything, "Did something happen to Seven?" Liu Dandan asked.

"There's no time to explain, let's talk while we walk."

Mu Chun pulled Liu Dandan out of the hospital. While walking, he was thinking about various possibilities, while Liu Dandan was holding Mu Chun's hand with one hand and quickly looking for any clues on his mobile phone that might find Ding Jiajun.

"Got it." Liu Dandan suddenly said, "Do you believe my intuition?"

"That depends on what my intuition thinks."

Liu Dandan didn't have time to complain, and stuffed the phone into Mu Chun's hand, "It's too late to take a taxi. If there is a traffic jam on the road, I'm worried that I won't be able to make it in time."

"What time?"

"The time when the car accident happened."

Liu Dandan looked around for shared bicycles while telling Mu Chun about his intuition and reasoning.

"Liu Dandan, I'm sure your intuition is right." Mu Chun said seriously.

"Eh? I haven't finished yet."
