Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital Chapter 400 - 352: The Dangerous and Alluring Psychiatrist

Coming out of the young man’s ward, Liu ng curiously asked Zhao Heng, "Dr. Zhao, can psychological factors really lead to symptoms of continuous excitent?"

She hadn’t been in the ergency room for a short ti, but she had never encountered a situation like this with the young man. Not to ntion encountering it, she had never even heard of it.

Following beside was Li Yang, with the sa curious expression on his face.

Even Li Yang, who had previously been a senior attending physician in the ergency departnt, had never seen such a case, which shows how rare this young man’s situation is.

"Eliminate all the impossibilities, and what remains must be the truth. Sotis clinical practice requires a bit of imagination."

Zhao Heng said slowly.

Although generally psychogenic diseases do not reach this young man’s level, it is not impossible.

The impact of psychological factors on the human body exceeds the general person’s understanding.

Research on the impact of psychological factors on the human body can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty, when King Shang loved inventing. In terms of criminal law, besides direct punishnts like burning, King Shang’s greatest invention was the water torture.

This is a form of torture that doesn’t physically harm the prisoner but can directly tornt them to death.

In simple terms, the prisoner is tied up and fixed by the head, with water drops continuously hitting the head. Actually, "water dripping through stone" takes a long ti, at least 1-2 years, which is ti-consuming and laborious. The prisoner cannot be killed by water drops piercing the skull.

The truly terrifying aspect of "water torture" is its use of psychological fear to inflict psychological damage on the prisoner.

With water drops falling on a person’s head for a long ti, it unconsciously emphasizes a fixed thought, such as "water pierces stone, rope cuts wood," and so on.

In modern tis, thods similar to "water torture" have been further expanded.

It is said that an experint was conducted where the prisoner’s eyes were covered, told that their wrist had been cut and they would bleed to death.

In reality, the knife’s back was gently brushed on the prisoner’s wrist without cutting the skin, and then cold water was dripped nearby, making a "drip-drip" sound, leading the prisoner to mistakenly believe they were bleeding. The prisoner then becos terrified, ultimately dying from shock.

In simple terms, people who died under such punishnt succumbed to their imagination.

"Actually, psychological issues directly affect physical health. I’ve read related research literature indicating that the degree of influence reaches 80 percent. That is, 80 percent of physical illnesses derive from psychological unhealthiness."

Zhao Heng said to Liu ng and Li Yang.

"Indeed, when soone’s emotions are agitated, unstable, or feeling empty, they might start to binge eat excessively, beco lazy indulgently, or resort to drinking and even drug use. So severe depression patients might even undergo changes to the brain and nerves."

Liu ng nodded and said.

As a woman, she is more interested in psychology, so she took it as an elective during school.

After graduation, she delved into it even more in her spare ti.

"Shall we consult the doctors from the branch hospital next? Over there, the most authoritative person should be Professor Gao Qilan. She teaches psychology and psychiatry. I took her course as an elective during school."

After a pause, Liu ng said.

"Gao Qilan? You’re saying this teacher might be fifty years old?"

Zhao Heng nodded and asked curiously.

"Not as old as fifty, she looks to be only thirty-five or thirty-six now. I’ve heard she finished her PhD abroad very young."

Liu ng said with a smile.

"Being a professor at thirty-five or thirty-six is indeed impressive."

Zhao Heng said.

"I’ll go organize the consultation then."

Liu ng said with a smile.

"Alright."

Zhao Heng nodded.

Next, Liu ng went to arrange the consultation while Zhao Heng and Li Yang ca to Ma Xiaochen’s ward, briefly inquired about the situation. Zhao Heng saw Ma Xiaochen’s condition remaining stable, reassuring Liu Qing a bit before returning to the office.

Returning to the office, Zhao Heng saw Liu ng arranging the consultation.

"Dr. Liu, the teacher you ntioned, Gao Qilan, is she also a director at the branch hospital?"

Zhao Heng asked.

"Yes, she is the director of the psychiatric departnt and besides Director Liu of neurology, she’s the youngest director in our hospital."

Liu ng nodded and said.

"In that case, she must be busy, I’m afraid she might not be able to co for a consultation tomorrow."

Zhao Heng thought for a mont and said.

"Indeed."

Liu ng thought, and indeed it seems right, the branch hospital is quite remote, coming over takes at least an hour. If it were in the sa place, the consultation would be much more convenient.

"Call the branch hospital. Ask them if we can bring the patient over today, and see if Professor Gao Qilan can take a look."

Thinking about it, it’s better to resolve this issue early, otherwise keeping it delayed isn’t good. If the deadline of two weeks arrives, using anesthetic gel is extrely expensive and directly performing nerve root destruction surgery is not a simple decision at that point.

"Alright."

Liu ng nodded and got up to use the telephone in the departnt.

After a while, Liu ng returned and said to Zhao Heng, "The branch hospital said we can bring him over anyti."

"Is the branch hospital so idle?"

Zhao Heng was completely surprised by Liu ng’s words, not expecting that an appointnt would be necessary.
