Chapter 435: If I Could Control It
Two hours before the operation, Robert sat in front of the computer looking at the patient's examination report, and he was still waiting for the last test result, when Robert's right hand kept tapping on the table, and every now and then he would twitch his neck and shoulders a few times.
Mu and Mu Xiao were both a little worried, but the professor sat quietly drinking coffee, looking very confident in Robert.
The professor said, "Don't be nervous, you're too nervous, when he gets on the operating table, you'll know what's going on and you'll be in control." ”
The work on the operating table is very tedious, and there are more than a dozen things to pay attention to every minute and every second, and there is no room for distraction at this time, and the characteristic of a patient like Robert's Tourette should be that he is easily distracted, how can he adapt to the work of surgery?
Robert also felt Mu and Mu Xiao's worries, and said, "A doctor like me may not be able to pass the medical qualification exam with you, or he may not be recognized during the internship at all. ”
"It doesn't have to be, although there can be bias anywhere, but if you perform well, it's what you think." Mu explained.
Robert was unusually satisfied with Mu's explanation, and poked Mu in the way he was used to while twitching. The professor couldn't help but laugh as he watched from the sidelines.
After laughing, the professor also suggested that we must see how crazy Robert was before the operation, he was simply a talented actor.
Robert walked over to the sink first, took a few deep breaths and had dozens of convulsions before he began to clean his fingers, palms and arms. Cleaning and disinfecting before surgery is a strict process, but Robert has to go beyond these rules and has a very tedious process to complete.
So he'll give himself plenty of time to do it all. Rinse, spin dry, rinse, and dry repeat many times, and then alternate your feet and make an owl-like cry at the white wall in front of you~
Wait a minute, Mu Gang, who was standing on the side, thought that the owl-like cry seemed to be inaccurate, and felt that his calf was kicked twice by something, according to this rhythm, it should be the feeling of poking twice, and the rhythm of poking the chandelier and poking the desk is the same.
Oh my God, Robert, you're really intoxicating to me.
Mu thought darkly.
After a series of jumps, Robert's assistant changed into a surgical gown for him, and then he took care of everyone again, not to distract me, and not to allow anything in the middle to rush and interfere with my operation.
For example, "Your ex-girlfriend calls you and says she's coming to the hospital right away." "Stop appearing.
For example, "Someone in the emergency room is going to give birth, can you ask Dr. Robert to help?" "Stop.
For example, "Your dog has a sudden food poisoning and needs to do gastric lavage." "Stop.
The reason for repeating everything is that Robert is well aware that he is easily disturbed by this kind of thing, and once he enters a certain ocean of attention, the body and brain will follow a smooth rhythm to effectively do everything that should be done during the operation.
But once this rhythm is disrupted, he may never be able to enter this state of attention again, and he will be thrown from the sea onto the beach, and then panting and sunburned into an agitated dried fish.
When everything was explained and Robert began the operation, everything was like a miracle, and Mu and Mu Xiao couldn't imagine that the doctor in front of them, who integrated all aspects of the surgical process seamlessly, would be a Tourette patient.
He chatted with the neglect, he said some decent jokes, some romantic vampire school legends, and then he stitched up the wounds for the patients, cleared the cysts for the patients, his hands and eyes never made a mistake for a second, he was energetic, focused, and the coordination of his eyes, mind, and hands was simply impeccable on the operating table.
Surgery is a highly skilled job, and the average person may not be able to do it very well, but Robert did it well, and he did it very well.
No wonder in the hospital, Robert was very popular, no one would blame and laugh at his little problems, and here he was worn and respected by everyone.
Robert is lucky, although his life is much more difficult than ordinary people, but he has finally found the trajectory of his survival and the direction of his efforts.
For people with Tourette's disease, it is often difficult for them to see their illness as something external, because many involuntary convulsions and impulsives and even endless talking can make those around them feel that it is intentional.
In fact, these are all an integral part of the life of a patient with Tourette's disease.
Unbearable impulses and convulsions occupy a central place in the lives of people with Tourette's disease, especially during the formative years, when they face all the problems from inside and outside, and it is difficult to see them as external.
Although he can get along well with his Tourette now, Robert still said goodbye to Mu and Mu with a smile, "This disease is not mild at all, and I can't thank it for anything." That's what he said, with frustration and more frustration.
Everyone can think of Tourette's as a funny or even deliberately funny behavior, but it's not gentle, and what's even more terrifying is that not many people in the world really understand how much pain it causes to sufferers.
It's like a hidden epilepsy, seizures are more frequent, and when faced with it, people only have self-control as thin as a blank sheet of paper, or self-control is worthless in the face of Tourette's disease.
In the face of the convulsions, strange noises, and even outbursts that Tourette asks the patient to do, the patient has only a little bit of weak strength, and they have to divide this power again, and divide part of it to endure the strange eyes and ridicule of those around them, and the shame after dinner.
Mu will never forget the humming on Robert's refrigerator that is constantly being destroyed by the spread of dark rage, and he will not forget that this disease is not only not easy to treat, but many people cannot even be accurately diagnosed.
After reading the entire case record, Mu stretched his arm and said, "I remember that Dr. Robert is a very likable and respected person. ”
Mu Xiao leaned in front of the bookshelf, holding a coffee cup, and the two-point light was outside the windowsill on her right, and Mu found that there was also a pot of Banxia on the windowsill.
"Do you like to keep this plant too?" Mu stepped forward and looked at the very ordinary Banxia in a very ordinary flower pot.
"Well, because it's easy to raise, I often run around, and I can't raise beautiful flowers." Mu Xiao explained casually.
Mu felt that it was not so simple, there must be some connection between these two pots of Banxia, and he quietly remembered this matter in a notebook called "Two Mu Smiles" in his heart.
After thinking secretly for a moment, Mu suddenly thought that there may be many other small details that can find the connection between the two Mu Xiao, and in these connections, you may be able to slowly find how the two personalities of Mu Xiao change and alternate, which one is the main personality?
Mu Shang was thinking, Mu Xiao walked over and looked at him, and asked with concern, "Did you meet a new Tourette patient?" ”
Mu Xiao was right, this was the reason why Mu was in a hurry to come to her.
"Well, yes, but I can't say it must be, I'm just feeling and speculating." Mu replied.
Although it is inferred from Xie Chunping's narrative that Xie Chunping's child may indeed be a Tourette's disease, everything can only be diagnosed after seeing the child, so Mu decided not to discuss the case of Xie Chunping's son Xie Xiaofei with Mu Xiao for the time being. Instead, he asked about Xiao Lanping's current condition.
Mu Xiao seems to know Xiao Lanping's situation very well, she said that Xiao Lanping is now circling the sea, and recently had a boyfriend, the boyfriend's name is Dahai, and he is also a Tourette's patient, and Dahai is also a musician, the two get along very well, a very enviable couple.
"In May, there will be a public welfare micro-film competition, organizations or individuals can sign up, the prize money of this competition is not bad, the first prize has a public welfare award of 30,000 yuan, and the finalist award is also 2,000 yuan, so I have recommended it to Xiao Lanping, she and her boyfriend are applying to set up a [Tourette's Disease Patient Home], they plan to shoot 5 Tourette's patients, in the form of a documentary to record the daily life of patients, I think this is a very good angle.
Although they may not be able to win the first prize, this form can let more people in the society understand the disease, and many parents can also know early that some of their children's problems are not that they are unwell-behaved or ignorant, they are helpless.
Don't let your children suffer more, many of them have already endured a lot.
The initial shooting plan on the Haihai side has been decided, but when it comes to the fact that Dahai and Xiaolanping need to go back and forth to five cities and shoot and produce for up to three months, I decided to apply for a part of the funding for them from our public welfare fund, and since you have now recovered your memory, it should also be up to you to decide. ”
Of course, Mu is 100% supportive of this decision, and Mu asked Mu Xiao, "Shooting needs a lot of equipment, how to solve their equipment?" ”
Mu Xiao smiled, "It's really a careful Teacher Mu." I also thought about this before you came, so I called the [Blind Film Association], and their person in charge heard that it was very supportive of public welfare micro-films, but unfortunately they mainly do some film narration work there, and there is no camera that can be used for shooting.
Although they didn't, the person in charge introduced the person in charge of the [Disabled Travel Team] to me, saying that they have photography equipment that is often rented to the disabled, and some of them are very good, if you need it, you just need to rent it according to the process, and the cost is almost equal to free. ”
"It seems that non-profit organizations help each other." Although Mu was happy, he still felt a little lost in his heart.
His loss should be hidden very deeply, but Mu Xiao seemed to see it, she didn't say anything, just comforted Mu, "Everything is from point to surface, as long as someone always cares about it, and someone does it, there will be a time when the quantity will change to the quality one day."
Wasn't there only two of us when we started doing public welfare?
Last year, more than 100,000 people around the world participated in the Million Steps for Mental Health, and thousands of puppies also participated. ”
Hearing Mu Xiao say this, Mu had confidence again.
"Okay, then let's continue, the spark can start a prairie fire, and the galaxy is brilliant so look forward to it."
As soon as the two finished chatting about the case, Zhang Wenwen appeared at the door, and seeing Mu was like seeing a savior, "I really didn't know you were here, I originally wanted to come to ask Senior Sister Xiao, it's so good that you are here." ”
Mu Xiao turned to look out the window, Mu didn't know what to say about Zhang Wenwen, he just said that Mu Xiao's professional level couldn't compare to Mu?
Zhang Wenwen also seemed to realize that his speech was a little inappropriate, so he hurriedly coughed and explained: "Senior Sister Xiao, I mean, just let Teacher Mu answer this kind of rough work, and Senior Sister Xiao is responsible for being beautiful like a flower." ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Mu looking at him embarrassedly, Zhang Wenwen shook his head, and made a few colors on Mu, but Mu is face was written so far, what can I do.
"Dr. Zhang Wenwen has encountered any illness that requires cardiological assistance, I will pour you a cup of coffee, you can say it now. There is still a meeting at three o'clock, don't you need to go? ”
Mu Xiao reminded him like this, Zhang Wenwen immediately became serious, "Teacher Mu, Teacher Mu Xiao, do you know such a patient, I received a patient referred by the Department of Internal Medicine, at first he said that he had a headache, and now he said that he couldn't sleep well at night, and it was useless to take sleep aids, or it was good and bad, there is no problem with the examination of the Department of Neurology at present, I am thinking about whether to let the patient go to the Department of Concern in Huayuanqiao Hospital, but after thinking about it, from the Department of Internal Medicine to the Department of Neurology, now it will take less than two weeks to transfer to another hospital for treatment, It's really not very easy for the patient's mind to accept, right, the key is that I didn't find any symptoms, he just had a headache and couldn't sleep. ”
"Anything else?" Mu Xiao asked.
Mu smiled in her heart, sure enough, it was Mu Xiao, this is almost what Mu Xiao says most often, as long as it involves discussing cases, she will always ask more, is there anything else?
Mu Xiao could also see that Mu was secretly smiling something, turned his face and said, "Doctor Mu, listen carefully to the case." ”
Zhang Wenwen said again: "So I thought about asking Senior Sister Xiao." ”
"I'm going to work the next day, and Dr. Zhang is going to introduce me to a patient." Mu Xiao sat back in her seat, and Zhang Wenwen followed and sat on the chair opposite her.
"Actually, I mentioned it to Mr. Mu before, and this patient told me that he would see three of himself." After Zhang Wenwen finished speaking, he covered his mouth and touched his nose again.
"Three selves?" Mu Xiao frowned with some concern.
Zhang Wenwen nodded in confirmation, "That's right, he said so, saying that it was three identical selves, but he knew that it wasn't an illusion, and he thought it was true." ”
"In this case, it's more important to consider neuropathy, brain tumors and the like." Mu remembered that he also said this to Zhang Wenwen last time.
"I haven't found it yet, so I'm just looking for Senior Sister Xiao." Zhang Wenwen emphasized it again.
Considering the inconvenience of having patients go across hospitals, Mu Xiao and Zhang Wenwen said: "If the patient wishes, I am in the outpatient clinic all day on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and may not be in the outpatient clinic at other times." ”
"Doesn't Dr. Mu Xiao work here every day? Or is it also more work? Zhang Wenwen asked curiously.
"I heard that Dr. Zhang of the Department of Neurosurgery is very free, not only can he run to Huayuanqiao Hospital from time to time, but he can also take leave to visit abroad for a month or two at every turn. I'm not as idle as you, I've got a lot of things to do. ”
Mu Xiao opened a notebook as he spoke, and directly put Mu and Zhang Wenwen aside.
"This" Zhang Wenwen looked at Mu, "Why is Senior Sister Xiao's temper still so difficult to figure out." Is that how you used to fall in love? ”
Zhang Wenwen's innocent question made Mu and Mu Xiao so embarrassed, and of course there was nothing really embarrassing.
The two of them said in unison: "That's right, that's it." ”
Zhang Wenwen, who was completely convinced, really had a kind of "you guys get married on the spot".
On Thursday morning, Mu Gang planned to put Banxia out of the window to breathe the wind, but the sky was getting darker and darker, and it rained heavily ten minutes later.
The rain was fierce, and the construction of the opposite building was also forced to stop.
There may not be any patients in this weather.
Mu sighed in his heart, winter, heavy rain, always feel that something will happen.
Mu was a little uneasy, and he became more and more convinced that his restlessness usually didn't mean anything good.
Chu Sisi knocked on the door and walked in, saying that there was no patient on the registration system, and just happened to tell the teacher about the patient on Wednesday morning.
Chu Sisi told the case in the same way as Mu said before, and said his questions and troubles at the same time.
"That's the main thing." Chu Sisi said.
"Sounds like a collector?" Mu asked.
"It seems to be, but he said that he has always liked to collect girls' underwear, I think it's a bit strange, I don't know how to say it, I think there are indeed such patients, what to collect should not be used as a main criterion for judgment, but should be considered on a case-by-case basis to see if it constitutes a [collecting fetish]."
Chu Sisi said very seriously, and she had thought about these contents many times in her mind.
In the first outpatient clinic, Chu Sisi also did [listening], [effective questioning] and [collecting information] according to what Mu said, Chu Sisi thought that compared with the previous outpatient treatment of Li Xiaoyun, it was also the first time, and this time she should do much better than the last time.
In front of Li Xiaoyun, Chu Sisi only nodded and [um] and [ah] to do, and almost everything else was to let Li Xiaoyun lead the way and control everything for Li Xiaoyun, who was the patient.
But this time was different, in the first outpatient treatment of Zhou Diao, Chu Sisi thought that she had strictly completed the necessary steps, and the process was relatively smooth, but she always felt that something was wrong.
"You have a question about underwear?" Mu asked.
