184. A strange disease

"Listen to you, we must listen to you! We will do whatever you say. Old Jerry looked flattering. Jerry Sr. has been crawling in China's market economy, immigrating his wife and children to the United States early, and after so many years of "tempering", he has long understood that in China, human affection is greater than heaven, and the face of the Chinese is the biggest thing that needs to be maintained. So in order to cure his son's illness, he could even kneel and beg a doctor.

But Gu Haiping is a very typical northern man, he is very disgusted with things like flattery and patting horses, he likes to be honest and honest, and he also likes to make friends with simple and sincere people. Listening to Old Jerry's words, Gu Haiping's heart was more or less unhappy.

"Hehe, the doctor is to cure the disease, the doctor can't cure the life, you have to be mentally prepared for this, I can't guarantee that I will be able to cure your son's illness, but since you have come all the way to me, I am willing to try my best and do my best to treat him, as for the effect and the result, it is not something we can control, right?" Gu Haiping's strictness made old Jerry chuckle in his heart, did he make the doctor unhappy? But people with some skills are a little arrogant, right? He hurriedly took Jerry to the hospital to go through the hospitalization procedures, just waiting for Gu Haiping's return two days later.

Gu Haiping returned to Yongcheng in the evening of the third day, went home to put down his luggage, and had a dinner carefully prepared by Shandan.

Shandan is not only a doctor, but also went to study nutrition, obtained a senior dietitian qualification certificate, and Shandan has a high quality of life requirements, and has achieved the ultimate in all aspects of diet and life. Although she has been studying and has no practical experience, this does not prevent her from becoming a caring person and paying countless efforts and diligence to the health of Gu Haiping and Xiaoyu. Looking at Gu Haiping's increasingly red face full of joy and Xiaoyu's excessive height and intelligence, you can see the good results brought by Shandan's careful care.

Gu Haiping wiped his mouth with a satisfied look, and said to Shandan before he had time to take a bath: "There is a very sick patient, who is hospitalized in the psychiatric department, and has been waiting for me for three days, I will go over and take a look first, and I will be back in a while, I will come back and pack my luggage, you don't have to help me clean up, you can settle Xiaoyu to do homework and take a bath and sleep." ”

Shandan originally wanted to stop him, thinking about the big night, and he was a seriously ill patient, and he was a little taboo in his heart, but when he saw that Gu Haiping had already gone out, he didn't say anything, just told him to take a look and hurry home, and the shadows in Shandan heart hit her from time to time, making her uneasy.

Gu Haiping went to the psychiatric department to visit Jerry, and what he saw was a skinny paper man, his face was pale and bruised, and he had no vitality at all, but he was conscious and could communicate normally.

Gu Haiping was asking him where he was uncomfortable and bad.

Jerry began to gush about his "illness" over the years:

At first, after immigrating to the United States in elementary school, on the way home from school one day, I saw a woman like a witch in the novel, stretched out her skinny hand to him, and begged him to give him "help", but Jerry's English was not very good at that time, he couldn't understand the content of the other party's words, his heart was full of fear, and he ran home wildly, and the old woman's sharp laughter came from behind him. From then on, the laughter never died, often penetrating Jerry's eardrums through time and space when he was alone, and each time it became more poignant and terrifying.

Later, when the laughter rang out, Jerry began to tremble and sweat, and the situation became worse and worse, until he had convulsions and lost consciousness.

At first, his family thought he was frightened and sought psychological treatment from an American psychiatrist, but the effect was really unsatisfactory, so he had to go to the neurology department for treatment, which was also ineffective. The condition continued to develop through treatment, and then I had insomnia all night long, and I couldn't even go to school. Although he was admitted to Harvard's Department of Electrophysics with his intelligence, he had to take a leave of absence to pursue treatment.

Now I can not only hear all kinds of sounds, but also see all kinds of terrifying scenes. But his sanity even seemed to be in a state of sobriety, and in the frail and panting narration, it was as if he were telling the story of a human being out of the story.

In the process of listening carefully, Gu Haiping analyzed step by step in his mind: such a situation should be a psychiatric disease of auditory hallucinations and visual hallucinations, but the cause and development process, coupled with the treatment that has not been stopped for so many years, has not seen the condition improve, and even cannot stop the development of the disease, which shows that the direction and method of treatment are still to be discussed. In his opinion, encountering a witch is only a trigger for the onset of the disease, and there must be unknown conditions in other aspects.

He then inquired about his parents' occupation and family situation.

Old Jerry is a typical post-50s person, he has no concept of ghosts and gods in his mind, and he never believes in the existence of these things, he thinks that the witch Jerry sees is just a crazy woman, and other Jerry's statements are his delusions and insanity. He has developed real estate all over the country, and when he starts construction, he never looks at feng shui, and never worships gods and ghosts, and chooses the site and the day of construction according to his own preferences.

Gu Haiping also asked about Jerry's ancestral grave, old Jerry said that the ancestral grave of the family was in the "special period", because it was the grave of the capitalist, it was dug up and thrown by the "Red Guards", and the bones of the ancestors were all in the wilderness.

Every year, he will go to the tomb to pay tribute on the Qingming Festival or the ancestor worship day.

But old Jerry seemed to have dreamed that his old father came back to him and said that his leg was missing and that it hurt. Old Jerry who woke up from a dream didn't take it seriously at all.

Gu Haiping roughly had some judgment and understanding in his heart, settled Jerry's family for this night, and the next day he went to work to visit the doctor, and then started formal treatment.

Gu Haiping had already spent two hours in Jerry's ward, and when he got home, Shandan had already sorted out his suitcase, sorted the clothes that should be washed, and put them away.
