Chapter 248: Guilt and Guilt

Phantom limb pain, also known as limb hallucinatory pain, is a medical term in which the person feels that the severed limb is still present and that pain is developing there. Pain is mostly present at the distal end of the severed limb and can be of a variety of natures, such as electric shock, cut, tear, or burn. Epithiography is persistent and worsening. Various drug treatments are often ineffective. Neither Eastern medicine nor Western medicine has found a unified explanation for the biological mechanism of phantom limb pain, and both Eastern medicine and Western medicine lack effective targeted treatments.

For the famous professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School in the United States, named Wilkinson, he has a more popular explanation for phantom limb pain, that is, although the patient's diseased "limb" is gone, the neural circuits in the patient's brain have not stopped "transmitting" and "recycling" the "limb" information that does not exist Feedback from the trauma of Yan zhòng, so I can feel the strong pain in the "limb" that no longer exists. In other words, the patient's feeling of intense pain in the "limb" is not because the patient is mentally or psychologically abnormal, but because the feeling of pain is really present in the patient's mind.

Professor Wilkinson has also treated a number of patients with phantom limb pain in the United States, and the method he adopted is to implant an electrode in the corresponding part of the patient's brain through guò surgery to block the nerve signals transmitted back to the brain by the patient's "limb" that does not coexist. Through this method of implanting electrodes to block the brain's "nerve signal receiver", Wilkinson has completely bid farewell to most patients with phantom limb pain, and although the remaining very few patients have not been completely cured, the frequency of phantom limb pain has also been significantly reduced, and the pain has also been greatly reduced to the extent that the patient can tolerate it.

After listening to Professor Wilkinson's diagnosis report and sending someone to the United States to examine in detail the cases of patients with phantom limb pain that Professor Wilkinson had treated, Tu Xiaoming's family agreed to send Tu Xiaoming to the United States to receive surgical treatment by Professor Wilkinson implanting electrodes to block nerve signal reception. It should be said that Professor Wilkinson's surgery to implant electrodes was carried out very successfully. The pain that tortured Tu Xiaoming was completely gone, and Tu Xiaoming couldn't feel the storage of his amputated left index finger.

Unfortunately, this state of affairs only lasted a few years. Just four years ago, phantom limb pain returned to Tu Xiaoming, and it came more violently and intensely, every time the pain hit, Tu Xiaoming seemed to be experiencing a life and death catastrophe. So Tu Xiaoming's family quickly sent Tu Xiaoming to the United States to find Professor Wilkinson for treatment. After careful examination, Professor Wilkinson came to the conclusion that the electrodes that had been implanted in Tu Xiaoming's brain to block nerve signals had failed and a new electrode needed to be implanted again. So Professor Wilkinson operated again and took out the original failed nerve electrode in Tu Xiaoming's brain. Implant a new nerve electrode into it. But it's disappointing. Although Professor Wilkinson's surgery was done very successfully. But the results achieved have been dismal. The newly implanted electrodes that block nerve signals did not work in the slightest, and Tu Xiaoming's phantom limb pain was not relieved in the slightest. At the same time, Professor Wilkinson checked that the electrode he had removed had not failed. Still works. In other words, Tu Xiaoming's phantom limb pain was caused again not because the original old electrodes in the brain could not work, but because this method of using electrodes to block nerve signals transmitted back to the brain failed.

Wilkinson could not provide a reasonable explanation for this strange situation, nor could he find a reason for it. He used other advanced treatment methods, but in the end, it was in vain, unable to relieve the slightest pain in Tu Xiaoming's phantom limb, let alone cure it radically. In this way, Tu Xiaoming was sent to the United States full of hope. In the end, he returned home with great frustration and disappointment.

After returning to China, Tu Xiaoming's family tried all their methods, searching for famous doctors all over the country, and all kinds of methods such as traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, massage and acupuncture, and auricular acupuncture were exhausted, but they could not slow down the frequency of Tu Xiaoming's phantom limb pain. Not to mention reducing the pain caused by Tu Xiaoming's phantom limb pain. Because he couldn't bear the torture of the huge pain brought about by phantom limb pain, Tu Xiaoming had already had many short-term experiences, and figured out the way to end his life to end the unbearable pain and torture, but he was all shown by his family and sent to the hospital for rescue, pulling him back from the brink of death. And from then on, Tu Xiaoming's family arranged a special person to take care of Tu Xiaoming to prevent him from doing stupid things again. But as soon as he was negligent, this time he didn't know how to let Tu Xiaoming run out of his house and come to the top of this high-rise building to commit suicide.

Shen Jizhou is Tu Yanan's old subordinate, and he has followed Tu Yan'an for more than ten years, and he can be regarded as Tu Yanan's hardcore confidant, so he knows Tu Xiaoming's affairs very clearly. When Tu Yanan went to Northwest Province to serve as the head of the provincial party committee, he deliberately transferred Shen Jizhou to Xijing City as the director of the public security bureau. This kind of family matter will not be exposed if it is handed over to a hardcore henchman like Shen Jizhou, otherwise once it is known to people outside, it will definitely spread all over the city, which will have a very adverse impact on Tu Yanan.

Of course, although Shen Jizhou knows Tu Xiaoming's situation in detail, when he introduced Wei Ziming, he also talked about a general situation, and did not introduce it in particular detail, although Wei Ziming is an active officer and Tu Xiaoming's old comrade-in-arms, but there are some things that Shen Jizhou can not let Wei Ziming know. For example, the section where Tu Xiaoming was sent to the United States for treatment. For example, Tu Xiaoming's father is Tu Yanan, the current leader of the Northwest Provincial Party Committee, Shen Jizhou and Wei Ziming don't know at all, and he naturally won't take the initiative to tell Wei Ziming. In addition, it took only a little time to take the elevator from the first floor to the twelfth floor, and Shen Jizhou was able to tell Wei Ziming some things, but he mainly said that Tu Xiaoming had phantom limb pain and that there was almost no effective treatment for this disease, and it was particularly painful, so Tu Xiaoming could not bear the torture of the illness and had the idea of committing suicide.

After the elevator reached the twelfth floor, Shen Jizhou walked out of the elevator with Tu Xiaoming, and at this time, several subordinates who were taken out of the elevator by Shen Jizhou also ran up from the stairs out of breath. Running from the first floor to the twelfth floor can be reached at the same time as the elevator, which also shows that Shen Jizhou's subordinates usually do a good job in physical training, and they are not vain wine bags and rice bags.

A few people guarding the door to the rooftop of the building also received a notice from Shen Jizhou on the walkie-talkie, and when they saw Shen Jizhou getting out of the elevator, they also hurriedly came over to salute Shen Jizhou.

"Old Lu, how is the situation outside now?"

Responsible for directing the scene on the roof of the building is Shen Jizhou's henchman Lu Xuelei, director of the Office of the Municipal Bureau, Shen Jizhou asked straight to the point.

"Because the rescuer was very excited, resisting the rescue personnel to approach, and the snow on the roof of the building was slippery, it would be very risky to take compulsory rescue measures, and the four firefighters on the roof of the building could only stand by at the far end for the time being. Lu Xuelei reported, "In each room on the twelfth floor, there are two firefighters on standby at the window, ready to wait for the opportunity to climb out and occupy a reasonable position, ready to cooperate with the firefighters on the roof to take mandatory rescue measures as a last resort." In addition, the lover of the rescued object is still doing the work of the rescued object, but it has no effect and does not play a role in appeasing the rescued object's feelings. ”

Even if Lu Xuelei was his confidant, Shen Jizhou did not explain Tu Xiaoming's true identity to Lu Xuelei. Although he was anxious at this time, he didn't reveal it at all on the surface, nodded to Lu Xuelei very calmly, and said, "Okay, I'll take Camp Commander Wei to the rooftop to have a look." ”

But when Shen Jizhou's figure just leaned out of the iron gate of the rooftop, he was seen by Tu Xiaoming, who was standing on the edge of the roof, and he shouted fiercely at Shen Jizhou: "Go back, go back immediately, Shen Jizhou, you go back immediately!

Obviously, Tu Xiaoming knew what Shen Jizhou was doing here. The last thing he wants to see at this time is someone who is very close to him, over the years, the person who has tortured him with phantom limb pain is not a ghost, and even his family and friends have suffered a lot of crimes, which makes Tu Xiaoming feel even more guilty. Including Shen Jizhou, he has also been dragged down a lot by Tu Xiaoming, when Tu Xiaoming committed suicide by jumping into the river the winter before last, it was Shen Jizhou who was the first to jump into the icy river and save him, for which Shen Jizhou, who has always been in good health, fell into a problem with an old cold leg, as soon as the temperature dropped, his knees began to be red and swollen, and it was itchy and numb, and that feeling was not much better than Tu Xiaoming's phantom limb pain. Therefore, Tu Xiaoming has always had a deep sense of guilt for Shen Jizhou in his heart. If it weren't for Shen Jizhou directing the rescue at the scene today, Tu Xiaoming would have jumped down long ago. Because it was Shen Jizhou who commanded the rescue at the scene, Tu Xiaoming had been hesitant to jump down. Tu Xiaoming grew up in a leading family, so he naturally knows what kind of impact he will have on Shen Jizhou's future if he really jumps today. But if he doesn't jump this time, he will be caught back and continue to suffer from phantom limb pain, which is like purgatory of life, and I don't know how long it will take to find such an opportunity to escape and commit suicide again......
