Chapter 1024: A Difficult Solution
When it comes to drugs, Western medicine is indeed ahead of traditional Chinese medicine. www.biquge.info Although there are records of opium poppy in the classics of Chinese medicine, there are also descriptions similar to addiction. But those are very incomplete, and there is no specific treatment.
Jones's suspicion of Lin Yuan was not because of ideological discrimination, but because of suspicion in the professional field.
For peers with a skeptical attitude, Lin Yuan should be treated according to the situation. Some people who have not yet been investigated and say that Chinese medicine is not good, Lin Yuan resolutely resisted them.
And some people who question traditional Chinese medicine through argumentation and facts, Lin Yuan is open-minded and even welcome.
Because of the foundation of facts, whether it is a debate or an argument, it is based on facts and belongs to the academic category. And without fact-finding, it is purely a group of dogs barking on a day when they are beaten to death with a stick, and arguing with them is a waste of time.
Jones was cautious and did not express his doubts, but asked what the treatment was, and this person should be a person with a very rigorous academic attitude.
Lin Yuan smiled: "Dr. Jones, you are an expert in anesthesia, and I think I know much more about the addiction of drugs than I do. The mechanism of drugs that make people feel pleasant is that they can stimulate the human body to produce an endorphin, which is produced by the human body through a series of complex reaction mechanisms when the human body feels various kinds of happiness. ”
Jones, as an expert in anesthesia, certainly knew the general mechanism by which drugs work in the human body. It is precisely because drugs directly stimulate the ultimate response center of the human brain that the damage caused by drugs is irreversible.
Humanity has invested a lot of money in research to curb drug addiction, hoping to find a way to curb it, but it has always had little success.
Lin Yuan said that he could let Rudolph Jr. recover, and Jones was indeed a little distrustful.
"Dr. Lin, I understand all these principles, what I want to hear is the method, if you have a treatment plan, maybe I can give you some advice to help you make an effective supplement. ”
Jones's tone was a little unfriendly, but Lin Yuan preferred the straightforward character of Europeans and Americans. Those who can express their thoughts like this will not have crooked eyes, let alone calculate with you and stab you in the back.
"Oh, Dr. Jones, don't you want to know how little Rudolph got into this step by step?"
Jones was speechless, he did have doubts, Rudolph Jr. initially used a large dose of drugs containing morphine, and now it has been more than half a year, and the symptoms of drug addiction should have manifested themselves a long time ago, why did he only have a little dependence now?
Lin Yuan said just now that the one who controls all this is a master, and besides, someone will continue to use drugs on little Rudolph, is all this the same as Lin Yuan expected?
Jones, a cautious man, said, "Dr. Lin, I'm very interested in your question, so let's start with what Rudolph Jr. comes into contact with every day, and see if there are any clues?"
Lin Yuan smiled and didn't speak, but his eyes were looking at Hurley.
Hurley stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you two to see all the things going on with little Rudolph." ”
Rudolph Jr. lives in the Casino of the Storm, the top two floors of the Casino are the private residence of the Hurley family, and Rudolph Jr. occupies one of the large rooms.
Those who served little Rudolph were completely controlled, and the huge room remained as if it had just been cleaned up.
The focus of the search was what little Rudolph had to eat every day.
Food, medicine, that's the top priority.
All of this kind was collected, all of which were taken by Jones and tested under the supervision of someone sent by Hurley.
After half a day, Jones went to Hurley himself.
"Mr. Hurley, Dr. Lin, among the drugs that Rudolph Jr. was taking, I found drugs like morphine. However, the dosage is very light, and if it is taken occasionally, it will not cause dependence. However, if you take it for a long time, you will become dependent. Combined with Rudolph Jr.'s condition, now, I agree with Dr. Lin's analysis that Rudolph Jr. is a symptom of drug addiction. ”
By this time, Hurley understood. Although he is not an expert in this area, he knows that drugs can cause people to feel euphoria, however, after euphoria, there is the most violent backlash of drugs.
Inability to concentrate, hallucinations, irritability, trembling, anorexia, diarrhea, these are all symptoms that Rudolph Jr. often has.
Who would have thought that little Rudolph, a child, would become addicted to drugs?
Hurley suddenly seemed to be a teenager old, and he had fantasized that this was Lin Yuan's misdiagnosis, and that little Rudolph was something else.
Now, Jones has decided that everything is beyond doubt.
"Dai, you entertain Dr. Lin and Dr. Jones, I want to be quiet. ”
Dai Wenli wanted to persuade him, but seeing Hurley's painful expression, he knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he took Lin Yuan and Jones to the side of the reception room, served coffee and tea, and entertained the two.
"Lin Yuan, what will happen to little Rudolph's condition?" Dai Wenli asked.
Lin Yuan thought for a while, and did not answer directly, but smiled at Jones: "Dr. Jones, you are an expert in this area, you can tell Mr. Dai what the situation of little Rudolph is." ”
Jones groaned and said: "I really don't have a good way to do this, generally speaking, people who are addicted to drugs have to go to compulsory drug rehabilitation institutions to forcibly detoxify." The so-called relying on people's willpower to quit drugs is simply a fool's dream. The key to little Rudolph is that he is too young and too strong, and I am afraid that it will have a great impact on his psychology. ”
"Hehe, Dr. Jones, you're right, little Rudolph's addiction has just formed an onset, if it were for adults, compulsory treatment for a period of time would do, but for little Rudolph, you can't force treatment, don't think of other ways. ”
"Doctor Lin, with all due respect, drug addiction is aimed at the reflex center of the brain, and without the supply of drugs, it will make people feel very painful. Little Rudolph is such a child, he can't bear that kind of pain at all. ”
"This is certain, the human body is a very magical body, how much pleasure it produces, how much price it has to pay, even if it is passive pleasure, it has to pay the equivalent price of pain, which no one can change. ”
Jones's eyes changed from doubts to a trace of appreciation, and he agreed with Lin Yuan's words. The reason why people are obsessed with drugs is because the use of drugs can produce a feeling similar to a sense of well-being.
And this sense of well-being, to put it bluntly, is also a complex physiological and chemical process. The human body releases a variety of different chemicals, such as endorphins, in response to external information, and studies have found that the human body produces these substances when the body feels a sense of well-being.
This is originally a physiological change in the body itself in response to stimuli, but drugs have changed all this, and drugs can stimulate the corresponding response centers of the cerebral cortex to stimulate the production of endorphins.
In the long run, the body's own response mechanism will be destroyed, and it can only rely on drugs to promote the production of endorphins, which will produce a series of physiological disorders.
This process is a serious and almost irreversible disruption of the normal reaction function of the body by drugs. It is only by forcibly getting rid of drugs, with forced rehabilitation, that certain results can be achieved.
It should be emphasized that this compulsory treatment can only have a certain recovery effect. In fact, a large proportion of addicts who have passed compulsory treatment are drug relapses, and once drug addiction is formed, it is very difficult to cure it.
Lin Yuan's statement that he has to pay the same price of pain is a very vivid illustration of the impact of drugs on the human body.
"Dr. Lin, do you have any ideas, can you tell me about them?"
"Long-term treatment, slow results. Anything that wants to be completely cured in a short period of time is not a good solution. ”
"Yes, long-term treatment, slow results, cough, drugs, it's really harmful. I don't know who attacked such a child, this guy really deserves to be shot directly! Dr. Lin, what specific treatment plan do you have?"
"Hehe, Dr. Jones, I was still a little hesitant about controlling little Rudolph's addiction, but now that I see you, I have some ideas. You see, little Rudolph's addiction has just formed, and now it suddenly stops completely, and the child can't stand it either. You're an expert in this area, can you slowly reduce the dosage?"
When Jones heard this, he fell silent for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Dr. Lin, you mean, you still provide him with morphine-like drugs, but reduce the dose a little bit, and finally achieve a situation where you can get rid of it completely, right?"
"Well, that's what I meant. The child is too young, forced treatment, and the side effects are very large, and we have to think about the future of the child. ”
"Dr. Lin, I think the same thing as you. It's just that receiving treatment requires tremendous physical and mental suffering, which no one can change, and no matter what, we can't avoid this hurdle. ”
The taste of drug addiction may not be experienced by many people. But according to the appearance of the addict, the feeling is as uncomfortable as ten thousand ants eating their hearts, and sometimes, they can't wait to get a piece of meat off their body to relieve that uncomfortable taste.
"That's why I'm going to ask you to help me reduce the use of morphines little by little, and I'll use acupuncture and drugs to put little Rudolph in a hibernation-like state, so that he can suffer less. ”
"What?" Jones suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his ears, a state of hibernation? This can be done with drugs, but in that case, the body will not recover.
