When it comes to psychiatric hospitals, everyone's impression is generally that they are surrounded by high walls, with iron locks, gloomy, dim, solemn and terrifying, and a ubiquitous "cage feeling".

The patients are also untidy, unkempt, gibberish, crazy, nurses, armed with electric batons, and doctors are sedatives in addition to sleeping pills.

Well...... In fact, this phenomenon is in addition to the long-term negative shaping of mental hospitals by various literary and artistic film and television works......

The main reason is that the mental hospital of a century ago was really like this, and it was even more terrifying.

Because the psychiatric medical care of that era was completely in a chaotic system, people who were mentally ill at that time, or who were not easy to sentence due to excesses, would be sent to a psychiatric hospital, and once inside, there was basically no chance to see the outside world, and even some hospitals strictly restricted relatives from visiting patients, and claimed that this would hinder treatment, coupled with the imperfect laws at that time, the "mental hospital" was isolated into a three-way category. Therefore, the things mentioned in the movie about abusing patients, using patients for human experiments, and so on are all real.

At the same time, there are many ways to treat mental illness: hydrotherapy, beatings, electric shocks, and many other methods that have been put on the screen are actually only pediatrics, and there are many more absurd treatments for the mentally ill, such as "internal birth control", "forced castration", "claustrophobia", "motor nerve decortication".

Anyway, it was so strange that if I thought of a way, I dragged a patient to try it, and the society at that time also believed that this cruel method would help the treatment of the mentally ill.

Oh, and by the way, we have to mention the most famous operation in the entire history of mankind - "prefrontal lobotomy"

That is, the doctor takes a long awl, "poofs" it from the top of the patient's eyeball, inserts it into the brain, and then "clicks" and stirs it ....... Since there was no "CT" or "MRI" at that time, all these operations were

Depend on! Pass through! Examine!

After that, it was stirred until the doctor himself "felt" that the prefrontal lobe had been stirred.

And the consequence of this is that the patient becomes docile like a little bleat.

Because the human brain is so big, after the frontal lobectomy, people will lose a lot of functions, do not cry, do not laugh, do not get angry, do not fight, do not speak, naturally will not commit neuropathy again, to put it bluntly, it is to become a walking corpse, and the only thing that is the same as normal people is that they can still breathe.

But in the eyes of the patient's family, this means...... Sick and cured.

So this mad treatment won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. His nomination is - can completely cure "mania".

......

......

So before I finish talking, let's talk about now, today, the relevant laws related to mental illness have been gradually improved, whether it is medicine or nursing will not be as cruel as mentioned above, the current mental hospital has long been bright and clean, spacious and bright, the hospital area is still garden-like, the hospital environment is beautiful, the door is always open to the outside 24 hours a day, and there are gentle and lovely nurses to help you take a bath......

Even hospitalization is divided into male psychiatry, female psychiatry, geriatrics, juveniles and children, psychology, psychosomatic diseases, mood disorders, sleep disorders, and addictions.

Ahem...... Almost.

And the XX City Psychiatric Hospital is a typical example of this kind of modern psychiatric hospital. Clean, tidy, reasonable, standardized, humane, and even rumored to have cases where patients are unwilling to be discharged after being cured. Regardless of whether it is real or false, in short, it is deeply loved by the majority of "families of mentally ill patients" and "media", and it is not surprising that it has the honor of "excellent specialized medical unit" at the end of the year.

……

……

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone had already left work, and the whole hospital was surprisingly quiet, only the cold air vent of the air conditioner made a small sound of "click-la-click".

Dr. Zhang felt a little cold, so he got up and turned off the air conditioner and sat back down at the computer.

He has been on duty for 4 night shifts in a row, and all of them are requested by himself, the director and colleagues have advised him to go home and take a rest, but they have been refused, this is really an extremely abnormal behavior, but since people want to do it, others are not good to say anything.

At this moment, Dr. Zhang locked himself in his office, staring at the computer screen in front of him, his brow furrowed. The reason why he keeps working overtime like this is, of course, not because of workaholism or something. Instead, he felt that something wrong was happening in this mental hospital.

The first time I felt this was five days ago, when a patient in the hospital's "Mental Disorders Department" suddenly became manic, attacked people indiscriminately, and almost stabbed a nurse with a needle. Although the patient quickly calmed down after a dose of anesthetic, and he had a history of mania before, the final solution to this matter was to increase the dosage and not attract too much attention.

But Dr. Zhang felt that this matter was very strange, because the patient should have been out of the disease stage long ago and was about to be discharged.

Sure enough, the next day, another unbelievable thing happened, a schizophrenic patient who had been hospitalized for nearly ten years...... Discharged.

This was a very happy thing, and several reporters came to report on it at that time. However, after so many years of treatment, how could this patient suddenly recover? And his psychological assessment is...... Out!

This is absolutely not normal!

Then, just yesterday, another strange thing happened, a hypothetical patient who was originally only very mild suddenly became ill, he frantically thought that the world was fake, and everyone was just a character of his own imagination, and finally had no choice but to diagnose it as "severe paranoia" and send it to the "severe area" for further treatment.

All this must be more than a coincidence, he also mentioned a few words to others a few days ago, but most people thought he was telling jokes, and some people even cast the same eyes as patients, so it was not a way to go on like this, and he decided to find out what was going on in this hospital on his own!

That's why he has to work overtime.

After a few days of observation, he finally found some signs.

On the screen, there is a guy with a pointed face, slender eyes, and two scars at the corners of his mouth, which doesn't look like a good person anyway.

The man had been transferred from another hospital five days earlier and was suffering from "insomnia". In fact, there is no need to be hospitalized for this disease, even if it is severe insomnia, it can be treated in the local hospital, but since the transfer notice has been issued there, I have no way not to accept it.

But since this person was admitted to the hospital...... Strange things happened one after another.

"That's the man...... These things are definitely related to this guy! ”

Dr. Zhang gritted his teeth and took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and inserted it into the computer.
