Chapter 2350: Psychic Assault (V)
Charles followed Schiller to the patient's ward. Apparently, the previous round of doctors had just finished their rounds. Charles looked down at his watch. Theoretically, this should be the last round of rounds today.
A pale and haggard lady was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly with her hands on the quilt. Schiller stood at the door and waved to her husband who was sitting by the bed. The husband quickly stood up and walked to Schiller, looking a little at a loss.
"Mr. Oaks?"
"Yes, just call me Oaks. Thank you, doctor. I heard that you allowed me to enter the ward."
"Normally, family members are not allowed to accompany abnormal delivery." Schiller emphasized and said, "But I belong to the emergency psychological intervention system and am only responsible for the patient's emotional state. I think you are good for the mood of pregnant women, so I will naturally let you in."
The tall man nodded his head and said, "Lisa and I have never quarreled in all these years. Although she always says that I am annoying, our relationship is very good."
He was a little nervous, and some thoughts echoed in Charles' mind: [The doctor must be here to scold me], [Did I not take good care of Lisa? ], [Guilt], [Luckily Lisa is fine], [Be sure to remember to buy some milk before she wakes up], [The insurance company will come tomorrow morning]...
In the years when Charles could remember, these chaotic thoughts always flooded into his mind, some of which were very chaotic. It took him a long time to learn how to actively use this ability and pick out the most useful information from it.
Going deeper, Charles saw the man's past, which was almost dull. He graduated from a technical school, became an electrician, married his wife, and this was their first child.
Charles could infer that this man named Oaks loved his wife very much, because he could find some traces of fetal B-ultrasound pictures in his memory. Many doctors might not be able to remember the above images, but he actually had a vague impression.
However, even from this vague impression, the child's condition was not very good. The body size was smaller than that of ordinary fetuses, and the fetal position was not good. The solemn expressions of the doctors in his memory also confirmed this.
He just heard Oaks say: "Doctor, to be honest, I have been mentally prepared for this. I can't say that I am very much looking forward to the arrival of this child, because he has brought too much pain to Lisa."
"She was pregnant with him for more than two months, and she began to vomit repeatedly, stomachache, and couldn't eat. When her belly had some contours, she said that her whole body was in pain, dizzy and nauseous. She was skinny during that time."
"It was stable for a while in the middle, and we were all very happy. Unfortunately, when it came to seven months, the fetal heartbeat was abnormal, and we had to be hospitalized for treatment. Lisa has never laughed since then. She used to be a very cheerful girl. She has never been troubled by anything for so long."
Charles could hear the deep sadness in the man's mouth, and then he looked up at the woman again. Even if Lisa was not awake, Charles could still feel her thoughts and emotions.
This woman was a little too depressed and detached. The thoughts in her mind were all incomplete fragments, but it was easy to see that most of them were about the child.
There is no doubt that she imagined a perfect family life, a humorous and considerate husband, cheerful and lively children, and a dog and two cats that caused a lot of trouble but also brought countless fun.
Of course, the first step to achieve this kind of life was not smooth. What really broke her down was the countless physical and psychological tortures during this long pregnancy process. She had to fight physical discomfort and endure long-term anxiety.
All this was not worth it, because she did not get a good result. The worst result was like a complete negation of her efforts, making everything a joke, so she completely collapsed.
Charles narrowed his eyes gently, his mind shuttled through the corridors of the hospital, listening to everyone's voice.
[Why is this prescription wrong again? ], [Go ask the intern to move the water dispenser to the other end later], [What to eat after get off work], [The suture of the operation today is a mess again], [Where is the pen, where is my pen? 】…
Suddenly, a voice caught Charles' attention. This was the attending physician of the lady named Lisa. After checking his memory, Charles knew that although the failed birth had caused great damage to the lady's body and made her emotionally on the verge of collapse, they were still young after all. As long as they rested for a period of time, they could still have children.
This was the key, Charles thought. In fact, the lady's condition was not as serious as she imagined. It was just that anxiety magnified her pessimism, making her feel that if the first step was not smooth, it would definitely not be smooth afterwards, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
But in fact, as long as you are rational and believe in the results of scientific examinations, you will know that this failure is actually nothing. Happiness is not not coming, but it will be a little later.
"It is indeed an astonishing misfortune." When Charles came to his senses, he heard Schiller say: "Among the patients I have taken over, your wife is not the only one who has emotional problems due to physical discomfort during pregnancy, but she is indeed the most serious one I have seen. She was so anxious during pregnancy that she self-harmed and caused such deep wounds. It is really unimaginable."
"I knew it." Oakes covered his face and his voice began to tremble constantly. "She always did this when I was getting hot water. Once she said she was hot, I wanted to help her roll up the sleeves of her hospital gown, but she stopped me. I should have discovered it at that time..."
Schiller shook his head and said: "It is useless to simply stop her self-harming behavior. Self-harm is only a result, not a cause. Half of her emotional problems come from her physical discomfort and half from She has a pessimistic estimate of her own situation. "
"So now you have to take care of her body first, and then stabilize her emotions and stop her from thinking too much."
"It's easy to take care of her." Oaks said with some embarrassment: "In fact, I have been taking care of her, but I don't know how to comfort her."
"Does she have religious beliefs?"
"Our family is Protestant."
"There is a special prayer room in the hospital. When her body gets better, you can accompany her to pray. There is also a Protestant exchange meeting on the third floor of the S building of the psychiatric department. When she can walk, you can take her to participate."
"In addition, I will prescribe some drugs to help her sleep. In the first week, she must restore her spirit and physical strength. When taking these drugs, be careful not to drink coffee, don't Eat raw and cold food. "
Ox took out a notebook and started to write it down. Schiller continued, "She needs to take mood-relief drugs in the next week, mainly anti-anxiety drugs. Although the source of her anxiety no longer exists, the mood itself is a problem and should be resolved as soon as possible. "
"During the medication period, you must pay attention to her attention, whether she has stupor, daze, or delirium, and pay attention to self-harm behavior and suicidal tendencies. "
"Come for a follow-up in two weeks. I will test her with a simple scale, but this is not an exam. Remember to remind her not to be nervous, and then I will communicate some basic information with her. If she recovers well, the emergency psychological intervention part will be over. "
"I will transfer the long-term treatment to my colleagues, but don't worry, if the problem is not serious, you can go back to the community hospital. hospital."
After listening to it, Oaks nodded and said, "Thank you, doctor. I know that psychologists are very busy now. Thank you for telling me so much."
Schiller smiled and said, "It's okay. Everyone in the hospital says that you are a good husband. I heard that you have pets at home?"
"Yes, we have a dog and two cats, named Pixar, Donna and Dudu. They are a little naughty, but very cute."
"So what type of dog is Pixar?"
"Oh, it's a golden retriever, a boy, two years old this year, and his daily job is to bite slippers."
"How is Lisa's relationship with it?"
"It's great. When Lisa picked it up, it didn't even open its eyes. We fed it with a bottle together. It is also a witness to our marriage."
"The obstetrics and gynecology department does not allow large dogs, so you can consider applying for a comfort dog of the same breed. I will mark a high priority in your application report. They trust my judgment very much. ”
“If you don’t want to go through so much trouble, then bring a cat. I will tell the head nurse, but it must be placed in a safe space capsule, and make sure they are outside the ward and in the yard of the inpatient department. Keep away from people, avoid allergies, pay attention to cleanliness, and don’t get hair everywhere.”
“Oh my God, is it really okay?” Oaks seemed to be about to jump up. He said, “Lisa will be very happy. Donna is a lively little girl, and Dudu is quiet and cute. They are both her treasures. With them, she will definitely recover quickly.”
“But be careful. If cats don’t go out often, they may have stress reactions when brought to crowded places, and they may not be able to ride in the car. You can go to the veterinary hospital opposite to buy some tranquilizer spray and let them adapt. ”
“God, I can’t describe your meticulousness and patience. Thank you so much. So when should I submit my comfort dog application form? "
"First, log on to the New York City Working Dog Registration Website, and then send an email to the New Jersey Women's Protection Center, asking them to send an email to the Working Dog Application Department. At the same time, I will also send an email to explain your wife's mental condition. If nothing goes wrong, they should reply to you very quickly. "
"Why do I hear that it is difficult to apply for such working dogs?"
Schiller said helplessly: "This is New York Presbyterian Hospital, the best hospital in New York. Your wife gave birth here, but she didn't save your child. She even needed emergency psychological intervention from the psychiatrist here. They know how serious the situation is. "
"Please make sure to emphasize that your wife is still alive. It is she who needs comfort, not you. Last time, a patient made a mistake. The staff at the security center brought a bunch of white flowers, which scared us all."
Ox laughed immediately. He could imagine this scene, especially the expressions of these elite doctors who doubted him. It was really funny.
"Okay." Schiller reached out and patted Oaks on the shoulder and said, "It will be over soon. Think about it well. Those things that tortured her are gone, and she will become that cheerful girl again."
"Of course she will." Oaks said happily, "She has always been strong, and she will recover soon."
"Is the ward round over?" Charles was stunned when he saw Schiller turn around and leave. "Wait a minute, is this over? Don't you take some effective measures?"
He quickly followed Schiller and said, "The lady named Lisa is in great pain now. She has a strong tendency to self-destruct. I think we should stay a little longer, and then..."
"No." Schiller said seriously.
Charles thought he was going to say something very important, but Schiller said:
"After 7pm, demons will catch children in the hospital. Remember not to walk to the corridor on the left side of the first floor of this building at night. If you are caught, I will not save you."
