Chapter 2341: Mind Assault (Part V)

Charles followed Schiller to the patient's ward. Obviously, the previous wave of doctors had just finished their rounds. Charles looked down at his watch. Theoretically, this should be the last round of the day.

A pale and haggard lady lay on the bed, sleeping soundly with her hands on the quilt. Schiller stood at the door and beckoned to the husband sitting by the bed. The husband quickly stood up and walked to Schiller, looking a bit at a loss.

"Mr. Oakes?"

"Yes, just call me Oakes. Thank you, Doctor. I heard it was you who allowed me to enter the ward."

"Usually, family members are not allowed to accompany patients during abnormal production." Schiller emphasized first 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 pregnant woman's emotions, so naturally, I will let you in."

The tall man nodded until he was a blur. He said, "For so many years, Yin Yin Lisha and I have never quarreled. Although she always says I'm annoying, our relationship is very good."

He looked a bit nervous, and some voices echoed in Charles's mind: 【The doctor must be here to scold me】, 【Did I not take good care of Yin Yin Lisha?】, 【Guilt】, 【Fortunately Yin Yin Lisha is fine】, 【Must remember to buy some milk before she wakes up】, 【The insurance company will come tomorrow morning】...

In the years Charles could remember, these chaotic thoughts always flooded into his mind. Some were very chaotic, and it took him a long time to learn how to actively use this ability to pick out the most useful information.

Going deeper, Charles saw the man's past, which was simply frequent and without highlights. He graduated from a technical school, became an electrician, and married his wife. This was their first child.

Charles could infer that this man named Oakes loved his wife very much, because he could actually find traces of fetal ultrasound pictures in his memory. Many doctors might not be able to remember the images on them, but he actually had a vague impression.

However, even judging from this vague impression, the child's condition wasn't very good. The body size was smaller than the average fetus, and the fetal position wasn't good either. The heavy expressions of the doctors in his memory also confirmed this point.

Just in time, he heard Oakes say, "Doctor, to tell you the truth, I have been psychologically prepared for this. I can't say I'm looking forward to the arrival of this child, because he has brought Yin Yin Lisha too much pain."

"She started vomiting and having stomach pain repeatedly just two months after she became pregnant, and couldn't eat anything. When her belly had some outline, she said she was in pain all over, dizzy and nauseous. During that time, she was skin and bones."

"It was stable for a period of time in the middle, and we were all very happy. Unfortunately, when she reached seven months, the fetal heartbeat was abnormal, and we had to be hospitalized for treatment. Yin Yin Lisha has never smiled since then. She used to be a very cheerful girl, and she had never been troubled by anything for so long."

Charles could hear the thick sadness in the man's mouth, and then he looked up at the woman again. Even though Yin Yin Lisha wasn't awake, Charles could still feel her thoughts and emotions.

This woman was a bit too depressed and detached, and the thoughts in her brain were some incomplete fragments, but it was easy to see that most of them were about the child.

There was no doubt that she had imagined a perfect family life, a humorous and considerate husband, a cheerful and lively child, and a dog and two cats that caused a lot of trouble but also brought countless fun.

Of course, the first step to achieving this life didn't go smoothly. What really crushed her was the countless physical and psychological torture during this long pregnancy, having to fight against physical discomfort and endure long anxiety.

All this wasn't worth it, because she didn't get a good result. The worst result was like completely denying her efforts, making everything a joke, so she completely collapsed.

Charles narrowed his eyes slightly, his consciousness shuttling through the corridors of the hospital, listening to everyone's voices.

【Why is this prescription wrong again?】, 【Go call that intern to move the water dispenser to the other end later】, 【What to eat after work】, 【The suture of that surgery today is a mess again】, 【Where is my pen, where is my pen?】...

Suddenly, a voice caught Charles's attention. This was the attending physician of this lady named Yin Yin Lisha. After checking his memory, Charles knew that although this failed production brought great damage to this lady's body and made her emotions on the verge of collapse, they were still young after all. As long as she rested for a period of time, she could still have children.

This was the key, Charles thought. In fact, this lady's situation wasn't as serious as she imagined. It was just that anxiety magnified her pessimistic emotions, making her feel that the first step wasn't smooth, and it definitely wouldn't be smooth later, so she simply stopped thinking in that direction.

But in fact, as long as you are rational and believe in the results of scientific examinations, you know that this failure doesn't count for anything. Happiness won't not come, it will just be a little late.

"It is indeed a shocking misfortune." Charles heard Schiller say when he came back to his senses, "Among the patients I have handled, there is more than one patient like your wife who has emotional problems due to physical discomfort during pregnancy, but she is indeed the most serious one I have ever seen. It is hard to imagine that she was so anxious during pregnancy that she self-harmed and caused such deep wounds."

"I knew it." Oakes covered his face, his voice trembling constantly, "She did this every time I went to get hot water. Once she said she was hot, and 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, "Simply stopping her self-harm behavior is useless. Self-harm is the result, not the cause. Half of her emotional problems come from her physical discomfort, and half come from her pessimistic estimation of her own situation."

"So now the first thing you need to do is take good care of her body, and the second is to stabilize her emotions so that she doesn't let her imagination run wild."

"Taking good care of her is easy to handle." Oakes said with some difficulty, "In fact, I have been taking care of her, but I don't know how to comfort her."

"Does she have any religious beliefs?"

"Our family is Protestant."

"There is a dedicated prayer room in the hospital. After 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 in the psychiatry department. After she can walk, you can take her to participate."

"In addition, I will prescribe some drugs to help her sleep. For the first week, she must restore her spirit and physical strength. When taking these drugs, be careful not to drink coffee or eat raw or cold food."

Oakes took out a notebook and began to record. Schiller continued, "For the next week, she should take drugs to soothe her emotions, mainly anti-anxiety drugs. Although the root cause of her anxiety no longer exists, the emotion itself is a problem and should be solved as soon as possible."

"During the medication period, be sure to pay attention to her attention status, whether there are stupor, daze, or delirium, and pay attention to self-harm behavior and suicidal tendencies."

"Come back for a follow-up in two weeks. I will measure a simple scale for her, but this is not an exam. Remember to remind her not to be nervous, and then I will communicate with her about some basic situations. If she recovers well, the emergency psychological intervention part will end."

"For long-term treatment later, I will transfer her to my colleague, but don't worry. If the problem isn't big, you can go back to the community hospital."

After Oakes finished listening, he nodded and said, "Thank you, Doctor. I know that psychologists are very busy now. Thank you for being willing to tell me so much."

Schiller smiled and said, "It's okay. Everyone in the hospital says you are a good husband. I heard you have pets at home?"

"Yes, we have a dog and two cats, named Pix, Donna, and Dudu. They are a bit naughty, but very cute."

"Then what type of dog breed is Pix?"

"Oh, he is a Golden Retriever, boy, two years old this year. His full-time job every day is to bite slippers."

"How is Yin Yin Lisha's relationship with him?"

"It's simply great. When Yin Yin Lisha picked him up, he hadn't even opened his eyes. We fed him together with a milk bottle. He is also a witness to our marriage."

"The inpatient department of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department doesn't allow large dogs, so you can consider applying for a comfort dog of the same breed. I will mark a high priority on your application report. They trust my judgment very much."

"If you don't want to be so troublesome, then bring a cat. I will tell the head nurse, but be sure to put it in a safe space capsule, and ensure that they contact outside the ward and in the courtyard of the inpatient department. Stay away from crowds, avoid allergies, pay attention to cleanliness, and don't get hair everywhere."

"My God, is it really okay?" Oakes looked like he was about to jump up. He said, "Yin Yin Lisha will be very happy. Donna is a lively little girl, and Dudu is quiet and cute. Both of them are her heart's treasure. With them, she will definitely recover very quickly."

"But be careful, if the cat doesn't go out often, it may have a stress reaction when brought to a crowded place, and it may not be able to take a car. You can go to the veterinary hospital opposite to buy some sedative spray, and it will be fine after they adapt."

"God, I can't describe your meticulousness and patience. Thank you so much. Then when should I submit my comfort dog application form?"

"You first log in to the registration website for working dogs in New York City, and then send an email to the New Jersey Women's Security Center, requesting them to send an email to the working dog application department. At the same time, I will also send an email explaining your wife's psychological condition. If there are no accidents, they should reply to you very quickly."

"Why did I hear that such working dogs are very difficult to apply for?"

Schiller said helplessly, "This is New York-Presbyterian Hospital, the best hospital in New York. Your wife gave birth here, but didn't keep your child, and even needed emergency psychological intervention from the psychiatry department here, so they know how serious the situation is."

"Please be sure to emphasize that your wife is still alive and needs comfort, not you. Last time, a patient made a mistake, and the staff from the security center brought a bunch of white flowers, which gave us all a scare."

Oakes immediately laughed out loud. He could imagine this scene, especially the expressions of these elite doctors suspecting themselves, which was really very funny.

"Okay." Schiller reached out and patted Oakes on the shoulder and said, "It will pass soon. Think about it in a better way. Those things that tortured her are gone, and she will become that cheerful girl again."

"Of course she will." Oakes said happily, "She has always been very strong, and she will recover soon."

"Is the round over like this?" Charles, who saw Schiller turn and leave, was dumbfounded, "Wait a minute, is this over? Don't take any effective measures?"

He walked quickly to follow Schiller and said, "That lady named Yin Yin Lisha is very painful now. She has a strong tendency to self-destruct. Do you think we should stay a little longer, and then..."

"No." Schiller said with a serious face.

Charles thought he was going to say something very important theory, but Schiller said:

"After seven o'clock in the evening, there will be demons catching children in the hospital. Remember not to walk to the corridor on the left of the first floor of this building at night. If you are caught, I won't save you." ===== CHAPTER 2342 =====
