Chapter 2346: Psychic Assault (I)

"Good morning."

"Good morning. Oh, by the way, Doctor, is the myocarditis of the intern Duoan who came to your department yesterday better? He collapsed downstairs before, which scared us."

"He is fine. After communicating with his family, he decided to take a year off. Now I only have 11 interns."

"Oh my God, I don't know how you survived. Yesterday, when the intern in our department was measuring blood sugar, he cut a big cut on the patient's finger. We received two complaints from the family members."

"Who Didn't you make a fool of yourself during your internship? "Schiller smiled and said, "Speaking of internship jokes, the most are in the surgery department. Maybe in a few days you will see our Mr. Hand of God roaring wildly in anger."

The female doctor opposite smiled, waved to Schiller and said, "I'm going to make rounds first. A mirror man was sent to Ward 1032 today. I have to take those little bastards to see him, so that they won't make a fuss every day."

Schiller also waved goodbye to her, holding the medical records and walked to his office. As soon as he sat down on the chair in the office, the phone rang.

"Hello, hello."

"Hello, hello, this is the emergency department. A patient in the late pregnancy was found to have self-harm scars on her arm during premature delivery surgery. She may need urgent psychological intervention. Please go to the obstetrics department immediately. Repeat..."

Schiller put down the phone and hurried out the door. He bumped into a figure head-on. Schiller stepped back to see that it was an intern.

"Hello, Doctor. I have a few questions while listening to the recording of yesterday's clinical intervention. I wonder when you will..."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go to the obstetrics department." Schiller walked out the door, and the intern hurried to follow him. Schiller said as he walked down the stairs: "A premature pregnant woman was found to have self-harm marks on her arm during delivery. What do you think the problem might be?"

"Prenatal anxiety? In fact, severe prenatal anxiety and depression may lead to premature delivery. Early intervention and early treatment should be carried out. At the same time, if similar symptoms are found on the delivery table, emergency psychological intervention must be carried out to ensure that the pregnant woman's psychological and emotional state is stable, so that the hormone level returns to normal, and the probability of postpartum depression can be effectively reduced..."

The intern answered clearly and clearly, and Schiller nodded and expressed affirmation, but in fact this is not surprising. After all, this is New York Presbyterian Hospital. Doctors who can enter here for internship are impeccable in terms of academic qualifications and strength.

As for why Schiller suddenly returned to New York Presbyterian to be a doctor, it is actually because of the current era background in New York.

Marvel's Earth technology has exploded, and the amount of information people can obtain is also increasing. Even the already quite developed new media industry is somewhat unable to carry so much information, because in addition to the information on Earth, people are also constantly obtaining information from the galaxy.

The official news of the three empires alone is so much that all news media in the United States cannot broadcast it 24 hours a day, not to mention various cosmic events.

And due to the development of productivity, various space orbital transportation systems have replaced the traditional transportation industry. The international situation has also changed suddenly. People living in this era have undergone earth-shaking changes in their lifestyles in just a few years.

This will inevitably lead to many problems. The first contradiction is the growing demand for psychological counseling among the people.

In fact, the psychological counseling industry in the United States is quite developed and professional, probably 30 to 50 years ahead of most developing countries. People with a little bit of assets will choose to make an appointment with a psychologist after feeling their emotional problems.

As long as you are a licensed regular doctor, you will have about 20 to 30 visits a week, and sometimes you have to deal with five or six patients a day.

Because psychologists are actually equivalent to general practitioners in psychology, psychological counseling is not as detailed as regular hospitals. People go to this place for this disease and that place for that disease. Therefore, it often takes several hours for a patient to visit from beginning to end. The work intensity is not only not low, but often exceeds the standard.

In the period of changing times, people are always more confused. In the United States, which has a tradition of providing psychological counseling services, the number of people who have made appointments for psychological counseling, psychotherapy, and psychiatric examinations has increased by 10 times in this period.

It just so happens that because psychotherapy developed earlier in the United States, the training of psychologists is quite professional, and more importantly, the assessment is very strict. Just to say one thing, all licensed psychologists are double masters and double doctors from famous universities.

Not to mention ordinary undergraduates, undergraduates from famous universities are not enough, even single masters and single doctors from famous universities are not enough. Even if you meet the academic requirements, you must have more than 3,500 hours of clinical experience to be eligible to take the joint license examination.

This screening mechanism does make the level of practicing psychologists in the United States relatively high, but the terrible time and money costs involved have stopped most people who want to take this path.

A significant contradiction is that if you want to graduate, you have to study, but if you want to accumulate 3,500 hours of clinical experience, you have to go out for internship. If you study first and then do internship, you may have to delay graduation. One year of delay means paying one more year of tuition. The tuition for clinical psychology is even heavier.

If you want to do internship while studying, it is not money that is costing, but life.

So although practicing psychologists in the United States make a lot of money, the number of people who can get a license is still decreasing every year. Most normal people have more cost-effective professions. It is impossible for a licensed psychologist to have no love for this profession.

But now people's demand is growing, but there are fewer and fewer doctors. After all, doctors are free people. They can quit if they have too much work, but ordinary people who cannot get formal psychological intervention because they can't get a doctor are likely to deteriorate from ordinary anxiety, depression or just temporary emotional problems to aggressive mental patients.

SHIELD had actually discovered this a long time ago. Many times, when someone called the police to report a super-powered terrorist, the FBI transferred the case to them. When the SHIELD agents went over to take a look, they found that this was not a super-powered terrorist, but a complete psychopath.

It would have been fine if it happened once or twice, until one day, Nick wanted to transfer people to New Mexico to count the inventory, but found that all the agents had been sent out. He checked and found that more than 20 agents were transferred to a major kidnapping case in the east of the city, and more than 10 agents were sent to deal with a bomb terrorist attack in the west of the city.

If you want to ask why the FBI doesn't care, the answer is that it can't handle it anymore. All kinds of vicious crimes, big and small, just like a year-end performance rush, broke out at the same time.

Nick is not as stupid as the FBI people. They treat the symptoms without treating the root cause, and think that the surge in crime rate is a natural phenomenon. He understands that in this situation, either someone is messing up or something is wrong.

After a long search, I didn't find the mastermind behind it. To be precise, the mastermind behind it was me.

After interviewing several murderers, Nick found a common point, that is, their mental states were not normal.

I thought it was the work of a super criminal with the ability to intervene in the mind. The Purple Man was caught and beaten. Finally, Schiller analyzed it and found that it had nothing to do with mental control. It was purely because of the change of times that psychological and emotional problems occurred frequently, and the number of psychologists could not keep up, which led to the customs of New York people starting to approach Gotham.

But Gotham is getting better now, and New York is not in this Renaissance. A group of people studied it and felt that it was not very effective to just manipulate public opinion to appease the people. It was still necessary to treat special diseases.

The quality of doctors produced by the previous psychologist assessment program was indeed high. No matter what difficult and complicated diseases there were, as long as you could make an appointment and see it on time, after a course of treatment, you would definitely get a lot better, not to say completely cured, at least it would definitely not get worse.

But the problem is that there are too few people trained in this way. Compared with the current number of patients with diseases, it is not enough to fill the gap. SHIELD can only try every possible way and start lobbying Congress.

Things like lowering tuition fees, lowering tuition loan interest rates, and relaxing entry barriers are all long-term plans. Now, if we want to see results in the short term, we have to start with the interns who are almost done.

To be honest, judging from the educational level of the top American universities, none of the interns who have reached the stage of taking the license exam are weak. There are also many people who have practiced for more than 1,000 hours and basically know everything. The rest are just wasting time.

So first shorten the internship time, then relax the entry threshold, and at the same time bring back the doctors who are already in the profession to teach, help the interns get enough supervision time, and let them learn more real things in a short time, so as to solve such problems more efficiently.

The so-called supervision time is actually one of the requirements for clinical internship time. Simply put, the clinical internship conducted with the instructor on site is called supervision time, which is generally about 400 to 500 hours.

But this part is often very strict. Two people standing together for an hour can be counted, and dozens of minutes are not counted. Not to mention that there is a link called self-experience before participating in the internship, that is, the interns go to see a psychologist by themselves. If they don’t see the psychologist for enough time, they can’t participate in the internship.

Most of the practicing psychologists are still carrying loans. If they don’t open private clinics to make big money, how can they stay in your hospital and school as a small doctor and professor.

Therefore, there is an extreme shortage of teaching staff, and then the graduation rate is further reduced. The lowest year can even be as low as 40%. Only 40% of all students can graduate successfully that year. For those who study for another year, the graduation rate in the second year may be less than 50%. You just read this book, and no one will say a word.

There is no other way in this situation. Pay the money. Who is willing to go back to the hospital and school to teach students? All tuition loans will be waived.

Some people may think that with such a few welfare conditions, how can they fool practicing physicians who earn high salaries outside, but don’t forget how expensive tuition fees are in the United States.

Taking Columbia University and Northwestern University, which are ranked relatively high in the United States, as an example, the tuition fees for psychology graduate students are 70,000 and 80,000 respectively. Traditional prestigious universities such as Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Princeton are basically 50,000 or 60,000. Even if you can graduate normally, you will have to take out a student loan of more than 100,000 US dollars at the moment of graduation.

Psychologists have high incomes, but don’t forget that the interest rate of graduate student tuition loans is about 7%. Unless you can pay off the loan in full within three years, many people pay more and more after a long time. Many people’s children have gone to college, but their student loans have not been paid off.

Therefore, student loan relief is quite attractive to many practicing psychologists. At this time, SHIELD has thrown out another tempting chip, which is the hot interstellar sociology.
