Chapter 247 Yip's Syndrome
Wei Anbang was expressionless after listening to the analysis of the two. After a while, he asked, "Nationwide, and even globally, the mentally ill will be investigated...... What if you're wrong? Wei Ping hesitated a little when she heard this. She set her eyes on Ye Tao. "Grandpa, what he said makes sense."
"Makes sense? I don't think so! Ye Tao's words made both of them stunned. He asked, "Do you think I'm like the kind of person who wins the lottery every day?" ”
Wei Anbang shook his head awkwardly. "Alright, I see what you mean. You are right. I'm an old guy who's been in this position for too long, and I'm getting more and more forward-looking. Pingping, since you and Ye Tao discovered this matter together, then you can do it together. All Grandpa can do is support you with all his might! ”
"I see!" Wei Ping replied with a firm expression.
The two discussed on the way back. Wei Ping was still a little worried. "It's not an easy task," she says. Together, there are millions of mentally ill people in the country whose personal freedom is restricted. Even if various conditions are set to exclude most of the mentally ill, the number of people who need to be screened may exceed 100,000 in the end. ”
"Nope! Not even one patient can be excluded without examination. Have you thought about it. Patients with this rare disease are conscious and unable to control their behavior due to pathological reasons. Can you imagine how painful it is for such a patient to be treated as a mentally ill person and restrict his freedom in life? ”
Wei Ping replied: "Let's put this question aside for a moment. I don't think we should think about how to treat this kind of patient first? If it is found that there is no treatment, don't you have to restrict his behavior like the patient on the second floor? ”
Ye Tao was silent when he heard this. After a while, he nodded and replied, "You're right! Give me a few days. In the meantime, you should first contact the head of the health department. Now a small-scale investigation will be carried out in Suzhou and Hangzhou Province as a pilot. ”
"Su and Hangzhou are not ......small," Wei Ping muttered. Seeing Ye Tao glaring at her, Wei Ping hurriedly changed her words and replied, "Leave it to me." It is difficult to investigate nationwide, but it is much easier to do in the province. I can make my grandfather find an excuse. We are a provincial hospital, and the report should be approved. ”
Wei Ping did not disappoint Ye Tao. The next day, the provincial hospital launched a province-wide census of the mentally ill under the pretext of the reduction of World Mental Illness Day. What exactly is worse is not explained. But the provincial hospital paid out of its own pocket, and the health department had no reason to organize. This province-wide investigation operation began quietly.
In order to speed up the investigation, Ye Tao developed a special traditional Chinese medicine reagent, which was mass-produced by Shengliang Pharmaceutical, which had just been listed. This reagent is very interesting. Yan zhòng's mentally ill patients will sleep obediently after drinking. The effect was so good and immediate that some unwitting psychiatric hospital staff even asked to buy the drug. But they were all rejected by Wei Ping for various reasons.
Just a few hours after the mass investigation was conducted, the first case of anomaly was reported at the Third Provincial People's Hospital.
"This patient has a history of traumatic brain injury and has not fallen asleep after taking the reagents you provided." Wei Ping sent the patient's situation to Ye Tao's desk as soon as possible. There was some uncontrollable excitement in the long-legged beauty's words. "You're right. There may be many more patients who are mistaken for psychopaths! ”
Ye Tao flipped through the case and knew why Wei Ping was so sure. "Judging from the cases, the situation is very similar to Lin Changsong's patient. There should be 90% certainty. Let's go check it out for ourselves in the afternoon. "Okay."
The two had planned to verify the suspected case. But soon, a succession of suspected cases were reported. Just a week later, Ms. Wei's office was overwhelmed with cases. These patients are all very similar: traumatic brain injury, limited movement, and muscle wasting in older patients with symptoms. Ye Tao was almost certain that he had discovered a completely new disease.
"Let's call it 'Yip's syndrome'!" Wei Ping rushed to engrave Ye Tao's label for this newly discovered neurological disease.
Ye Tao felt that it was strange to name himself after him. But everyone who learned of his discovery was in favor of naming it after him. Caterina saw that Ye Tao's face was full of reluctance and became angry. "Do you know how precious it is to discover a completely new disease, and it is a disease that is ignored by the medical community in large numbers? This is an honor that no doctor can attain in in his lifetime. You even think this and that! ”
"Gotta come to you, I didn't look for you for the name of this disease." Ye Tao has heard similar words many times in the past two days. Ye Tao has lost the heart to resist. He remembered the purpose of his trip. "Katarina, I need you to help me communicate with the WHO. Conduct a large-scale screening of the mentally ill around the world. From the number of numbers we have already obtained, this disease accounts for about one percent of the mentally ill. In other words, one out of every 100 mentally ill people whose personal freedom is restricted is a patient with 'Yip's syndrome'! ”
Caterina mentally did a simple arithmetic problem and was immediately frightened by her conclusion. "In other words, the number of patients with Ye's syndrome worldwide may reach more than 100,000?!"
"I hope we're wrong. However, at present, there is no racial difference in the distribution of this disease. Ye Tao replied. We have confirmed more than 3,000 cases in Suzhou and Hangzhou provinces. And as the investigation deepens, this number is likely to increase further. ”
Caterina nodded heavily. She suddenly remembered something. "You yourself are an expert advisor to WHO. Why don't you contact the WHO yourself to coordinate international medical cooperation? You have to come to me. ”
Ye Tao replied with a smile: "You are not a senior, you are familiar with your connections." Seeing that Katerina didn't believe it, he could only explain honestly: "I and the leaders of the provincial hospital have to find a way to spread the investigation to the whole country." So I don't have time to look abroad. ”
The blonde beauty said angrily: "Okay, say as if I'm idle." Do you think it will be easy for Shengliang Pharmaceutical to be able to produce the reagents you provide so quickly after it opened? This is the result of my hard work with that little sister day and night! ”
Ye Tao was about to say something, and the phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and saw that it was Wei Ping calling. Ye Tao signaled to the blonde beauty that she had to go first.
"Hey, Director Wei, what did your grandfather say?"
"My grandfather has already reported to the head of the Ministry of Health. But...... The situation is complicated, let's meet and talk about it. ”
Ye Tao immediately realized that things were not as easy as he imagined. He found Wei Ping. "What's going on?" "One good news, one bad news. The good news is that the leadership of the Ministry of Health has agreed to conduct a nationwide screening. The bad news is ......"
