Chapter 18 Destiny is in your hands
Base Hospital, Department of Brain Surgery.
Ning Fei sat in a wheelchair, the female nurse pushed, and Colonel Barton also came, sitting on the chair next to him.
A brain surgeon wearing a white coat and balding hair pressed his fingers on several positions of Ning Fei's head to check, and then checked the newly taken holographic image of brain tissue structure on the table, compared with the one when he was injured, the nervous system was repaired perfectly, there were almost no traces, it was a miracle of brain surgery, and the doctor praised it again and again.
Subsequently, in the new holographic image, the brain surgeon used a computer program to add a structural model of brain functional regions, which marked the brain, cerebellum, brainstem, pituitary gland and other tissues, and on this basis, generated blocks identified by different colors, distinguishing behavioral and emotional areas, motor areas, sensory areas, information processing areas, language areas, auditory areas, visual areas, and so on. The two holograms were then combined together, and the scars caused by the high-energy particle beam passed through the motor zone, the sensory zone, and the information processing zone.
It is true that damage to the functional area can cause the corresponding human body function, but the repair work is indeed perfect, and it can be determined that there is no problem with the human body function to which the sensory area and the information processing area belong.
"According to the previous images, the trauma penetrated the skull and caused significant damage to the motor and sensory areas along the straight line, which can lead to dysfunction and other diseases, just as the damage to the motor area should be the cause of the current motor behavior disorder, and the radiation energy also caused damage to the surrounding area, but these tissue damage are currently being repaired", explains the brain surgeon in detail.
"Dr. Wiener, I can't understand this explanation, why does the repaired motor area still cause motor dysfunction?" Barton didn't know much about this and asked in confusion.
Brain surgeon Wiener magnifies the holographic image of the brain, talks about the perspective into the microscopic level, and explains unhurriedly: "The human brain is the most sophisticated instrument in our body, with hundreds of billions of brain cells located in the cerebral cortex and proteins, which can store hundreds of billions of information, each cell needs to communicate with tens of millions of other cells, and through millions of signals per second from the brain, we can think, and the mind travels hundreds of kilometers per hour, with more than 100 trillion staggered routes......"
"Doctor, Dr. Wiener, uh...... I...... Please stop and ...... excuse me", Ning Fei's head was big when he listened, but the Vener doctor, who seemed to be so knowledgeable that he was bald, liked to chatter endlessly, and did not talk about the points he was most concerned about and anxious about, "Actually, you don't need to explain in such detail, I fully believe in your professional knowledge, but I take the liberty to ask you, be concise, please!" ”
"Well, okay, but young people, knowing knowledge is always beneficial, and it doesn't hurt you", the brain surgeon paused again, probably summing up, and can also understand the patient's anxious mood, "All in all, the brain is the most complex machine, and modern medicine still knows about it, but we can treat diseases by studying its structure and function in a scientific way, but in addition, the troublesome point is the consciousness level, we cannot confirm and falsify things at the consciousness level, and psychologists do not have a scientific methodology to study it, And the problem you are facing is that the organizational structure has been repaired, but there may still be some problems at the level of consciousness, of course this is just speculation, maybe our machines are not sophisticated enough. ”
Barton is not in this field after all, and he is confused to hear.
Ning Fei thought for a moment and roughly understood, "You mean that the human brain is like a very complex calculator, even if all the hardware is fine, it is possible that there will be errors at the software level, causing limb movement disorders?" ”
Dr. Wiener nodded, "This is a rough analogy, but that's pretty much what it means. This falls under the realm of psychology, do you have any other special symptoms besides physical movement disorders, especially at the mental and conscious levels? ”
"During the period when I was in a coma, I didn't completely lose consciousness, I had a lot of dreams, very long, tormenting, about everything, the universe, destruction, existence, I had never seen those weird pictures, but I didn't remember many details", Ning Fei recalled.
"It's normal to forget, that's the activity of your subconscious, the subconscious mind is not bound by logic, anything can happen, even a lot of creative things, the inspiration for relativity and quantum mechanics also comes from this", Dr. Wiener realized that he was digressing again, and hurriedly returned to the topic, and continued to ask: "Is there a dream about people, especially some important people, or some important things in life, near or far, even if these people and things are dark, violent and painful?" ”
Ning Fei tried hard to recall, searching for the residual memories of the dream, but it was very fragmented, frowning and a little sad: "I have dreamed of such a plot, there are some people, I can't remember what they look like, but there is one of them is my mother, she stood there as if she was waiting for something, I ran to her, but I couldn't reach her, she seemed to say something to me, but I still couldn't hear clearly, blurred." ”
"His mother is gone," Barton explained to Dr. Wiener.
"I'm sorry~"
"It's okay", Ning Fei shook his head and said.
"The images in dreams are often related to reality, thinking about them day and night, and many scenes are unified with reality, and some are completely opposite to reality, these things are originally in your subconscious", Dr. Wiener adjusted the angle of the holographic image of the brain, and displayed the right brain independently, continued: "This trauma penetrates the right brain, which is also called the subconscious brain and the instinctive brain, and has the function of imagery and cosmic resonance, etc., and the impact of radiation may have caused some changes in this field that we do not know. The movement disorder is just an external manifestation of an unknown change that occurs in the subconscious realm, just like echoing the episode in the dream where you can't run to your mother, and behind this, it may be the psychological trauma caused by your subconscious for some important things and people that you have been unable to recover. ”
"So what should I do?" Barton couldn't help but ask.
Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Dr. Wiener's eyes flickered slightly, and then suddenly as if he had thought of something, he patted his head, looked for it on the bookshelf, counted the second layer from top to bottom, found a book, dusted it, and wanted to hand it to Ning Fei, but finally gently put it on Ning Fei's lap.
A book, "Inferiority and Transcendence", is the name of the book, the book of Alfred Adler, an Austrian psychiatrist and founder of individual psychology, Ning Fei did not understand what Dr. Wiener meant.
"I think it may be able to help you recognize your inferiority, overcome difficulties, and surpass yourself", the bald brain surgeon Wiener said with a serious expression, word by word: "Never lose faith in the future and yourself, fate is in your hands." ”
......
Dr. Wiener did not give Ning Fei any medication.
Ning Fei's mood was still a little low, but it could be seen that he was a lot less anxious, and the most important thing to give him more time was himself. In order to make Ning Fei feel better, Barton did not let him continue to stay in the hospital ward, arranged a separate room for him, and did not arrange for a nurse to continue to take care of him, but changed him to an electric wheelchair, which can meet some uncomplicated movements.
Barton also made a rare joke and said to Ning Fei: "It's a pity that you weren't shaved bald, otherwise with this chair, you would be Charles Xavier." ”
