Zhang De has been the director of the psychiatric department of Yaocheng Third Hospital for several years, and has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years, except for the necessary rotation, he has never left the psychiatric department. He is not well known in the country, but he is also an experienced psychiatrist, and he has seen many cases and heard many strange ideas about patients.

"Hell" should be one of the relatively rare, and it is not an unusual. It's just that most of the patients I met before who claimed to be "ghosts" were old, superstitious for most of their lives, and went crazy so much that they were sent to the hospital by their helpless family members. It was the first time he had seen a patient like Xu Hongcai who was in the prime of life and could take care of himself.

Xu Hongcai's performance is obvious. Every time he saw him, that wandering gaze made Zhang De sure that Xu Hong had schizophrenia. It's just that Xu Hongcai's family can't be contacted, so Zhang De can't make further treatment options.

After resting for the night, Zhang De went to the hospital the next day, and the first thing he did was to ask Dr. Liu about Xu Hongcai's condition.

“…… There is no problem in taking care of oneself in life, and the logic is very good. The orthopedic department will come to see you later. And his family, who has been persuaded a few times just now, seems to be ready to be discharged from the hospital after foot surgery, and has also contacted the company to ask for leave to go back to his hometown to find a hospital again. Xiao Liu said calmly, not much worried about Xu Hongcai, "And the community he said, I contacted the police station, there was indeed an accident a few days ago, and he also called the police, and he was also one of the people who called the police." There are no dead people. ”

"Oh, that's right." Zhang De raised his eyebrows, "That should be the time when I was scared." ”

"I guess so."

A patient who can take care of himself is not a serious patient after all. Add to that the fact that the cause can be found, and things are clear.

Zhang De nodded, and didn't bother with Xu Hongcai's affairs anymore.

The handover was completed in the morning, and it was time for ward rounds.

When Zhang De saw Xu Hongcai again, he noticed that Xu Hongcai's mental condition was much better.

"Feeling better? Is it normal to sleep and eat? Zhang De asked.

Xu Hongcai nodded.

"Is there anything else uncomfortable?"

"It's just a sore foot."

"The orthopedic department will come to the consultation later. You may need surgery on this foot. Xiao Liu told you, right? ”

"I said it. I wanted to be discharged from the hospital after the surgery. Xu Hongcai hurriedly said.

"It's okay if you want to be discharged. It is to make a psychiatric rating scale before being discharged from the hospital, which is a rule on our side. You should be able to pass easily, don't worry. It's also for your safety. Do you think it's dangerous if you're walking on the road, like when you first came to the hospital yesterday, and people don't react? Zhang De said patiently.

Xu Hongcai did not resist this, but was a little helpless.

"It's best to get in touch with your family and ask them to pick you up from the hospital. You have a foot injury, and you have a suitcase, it's too inconvenient, don't have problems on the road. Zhang De said again.

Xu Hongcai said: "It's too far." I'll send my luggage back by courier when the time comes. ”

"You just have to decide." Zhang De nodded, and he didn't force it.

After the rounds of wards were inspected, Zhang De returned to the office and suddenly remembered the name Xu Hongcai mentioned yesterday.

He called Dr. Xiao Liu to come, "Have you checked the Yin Shikang he talked about yesterday?" ”

Dr. Liu hurriedly replied, "I called them in the personnel department in the morning, and they were checking. ”

"Hmm." Zhang De answered, and signaled Xiao Liu to go busily.

Dr. Liu didn't leave immediately, "Teacher, is it necessary to find this person?" The cause of his illness must have been that he was frightened in the community. He doesn't seem to have been to our hospital before. ”

"That's why I'm looking for it because I don't have it. There are only two things he mentioned, and the things in the community are clear, and this Yin Shikang is left without eyebrows. ”

"Maybe that Yin Shikang has something to do with the community. What the hell is going on in his neighborhood? A little doctor next to him asked gossipingly.

Zhang De has a good temper and has a laissez-faire attitude towards this kind of gossip.

Dr. Liu recounted what he had heard from the police station.

It's not a vicious case, it's just a family dispute or a neighborhood dispute, and the police station didn't hide it. On the contrary, because of the call from the hospital, the police station paid more attention to it. Xu Hongcai's foot injury was also questioned twice by the police station, and it was confirmed that he was not injured by someone, so he was relieved.

After listening to Dr. Xiao Liu's story, the gossipy little doctor gasped, "...... It's a ghost story. Is there really a ghost? ”

The little doctors in the office all had bright eyes, and Zhang De and Dr. Xiao Liu just smiled faintly.

"What are the causes of schizophrenia?" Zhang De casually clicked on the gossip doctor just now and asked.

The little doctor gathered his mind and memorized the contents of the textbook.

"Then which one do you want to blame for his situation?" Zhang De asked again.

"Oh, it's a psychological factor, because of the stressful event, a mental disorder, hallucinations." The little doctor stumbled and analyzed.

"That's it." "The textbook will not be so detailed, and we can't exhaust all the examples, but there are still many patients with mental disorders who are frightened because of the actual cases we have encountered. This kind of patient who does not experience long-term mental stress is also relatively easy to treat. Most people can actually calm down after a few days of panic and don't come to us for medical treatment. This time it happened to happen, and he broke his foot and went to the emergency room......"

Because of this, Zhang De felt that Xu Hongcai's case was very interesting, and when he saw him, he brought all the students with him.

Before Zhang De could finish speaking, the phone in the office rang.

The little doctor sitting next to the telephone answered the phone, and after a few "uh-huh" sounds, he showed a stunned expression.

After only one glance, Zhang continued to teach the students, introducing two similar cases that he had encountered before. The two cases don't say that they are "hell", one is a delusion of victimization, and the other is a strong fear of dogs.

After hanging up the phone over there, the doctor who answered the phone still looked in a trance, standing out from the crowd in a group of white coats listening attentively.

Although Zhang De is not a strict teacher and director, he doesn't like people to wander around the world when he is talking about business.

He looked at the little doctor, "Where did you call?" ”

"Personnel." The little doctor replied subconsciously, and immediately showed a slightly frightened expression.

Zhang De frowned, "Did they find that Yin Shikang?" ”

"I didn't ...... Uh, found. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

The room full of white coats looked at the little doctor.

The little doctor said dryly: "I didn't find Yin Shikang, I found Yin Renxin, I found Yin Renxin, there is an attending doctor named Yin Renxin in the cardiovascular department......"

"What does it matter?" Dr. Liu asked suspiciously.

"Dr. Yin mentioned it, mentioned that great-grandfather seems to be called this name...... "The little doctor said with difficulty, "great-grandfather, worked in our hospital ......"

"Great-grandfather? Retire early. Old doctor? Doctor Xiao Liu disagreed, "Did Mr. Xu come to Yaocheng to see his great-grandfather?" ”

When Zhang De heard this, he was in a trance, remembered some things, and understood why Xu Hongcai wrote down the name as soon as he said Yin Shikang.

Every hospital has some stories, some strange things, and some things that can be called inheritance.

The history of the Third Hospital is long enough, so long that some doctors have dedicated their lives to the Third Hospital, and the juniors in the family can still take over their banner and continue to shine in the Third Hospital. Of course, this situation can also be called a relational household.

The most criticized relationship of the Third Hospital is, of course, the relatives of the dean's family who live in departments such as the Medical Administration Department and the Personnel Department, and the most legendary is that four generations of the family have worked in the Third Hospital, and the son inherits the father's business and passes it on to the third generation......

Dr. Yoon...... It's that Doctor Yin......" Zhang De muttered.

"It's not a doctor," the little doctor's voice drowned out Zhang De's muttering, "Great-grandfather, he was a ...... who helped in the morgue of our hospital when he died."

Hearing this, the white coats all showed stunned expressions.

"Moreover, he died a long time ago." The little doctor spread his shock to the others, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

"This is really a ghost story...... "The gossip little doctor looked at his colleagues and said with emotion.

"Alright. Don't talk about that. It's time to do things. Zhang De interrupted everyone's desire to gossip, "Don't go to the patient and say this." ”

Dr. Liu wanted to speak and stopped.

"If he doesn't mention it, you don't say it." Zhang De said to Dr. Xiao Liu.

Yesterday, Zhang De personally promised to help Xu Hongcai find Yin Shikang, and after finding out such a result, Zhang De was ready to regret it.

Dr. Liu asked in a low voice of concern, "Teacher, do you believe this?" ”

Based on Dr. Liu's understanding of his mentor, Zhang De definitely doesn't believe in this kind of thing. Even if the patient tells him that he has seen a ghost, he will patiently explain the patient and prescribe the right medicine. Even some "superstitious" ideas in the hospital, such as rumors that a certain doctor is prone to accidents on duty, Zhang De laughed at them.

Zhang De shook his head, "I don't believe it." But this matter may have something to do with the patient's privacy and Dr. Yin's privacy. ”

Dr. Liu suddenly realized.

"It's good that you know. So be it. After Zhang De finished speaking, he left the office.

Zhang De walked out of the psychiatric ward without hurrying, went downstairs, and soon came to the ward of the cardiovascular department.

In the corridor of the ward, there is a department introduction, Yin Renxin's introduction is hung near the corner, and the front row is full of glorious resumes of the directors and deputy directors.

Zhang De looked at Yin Renxin's introduction and didn't see anything special.

He rummaged through his memories, lifted his leg again, and continued downstairs.

This time, he went straight to the first floor, out of the inpatient building, and into the administration building.

On the first floor of the administration building is the history exhibition hall of the hospital, which introduces many historical events since the establishment of the three hospitals, as well as the introduction of each president and every outstanding doctor.

Four generations of the family have worked in the three hospitals, three of which have practiced medicine, including a department director, and completed the first kidney transplant operation in the three hospitals......

Standing in front of the introduction wall, Zhang De's gaze swept over the four men with similar faces in the four photographs, and finally fixed on the first black-and-white photo.

Most people don't know this story, even those who have worked in the Third Academy all their lives may not know about it.

However, when Yin Renxin joined the company more than ten years ago, the story of his family did set off some small waves, after all, it was the grandson of Director Yin, Director Yin opened a door in the field of organ transplantation in the Third Hospital, if he hadn't died early due to illness at the age of fifty, his son, that is, Yin Renxin's father, had limited talent and could not insist on staying in the Third Hospital, I am afraid that some departments within the Third Hospital would have doubled the world now.

Zhang De is also a second-generation doctor, his father also attended Director Yin's funeral, and vaguely remembers that Yin Shikang was mentioned when his father came back.

“…… The white-haired man sends the black-haired man. I have been in the morgue of the third hospital for a lifetime, and I have sent so many people away, but I didn't expect to send my son away with my own hands...... Maybe I've seen too much, so I can see it, and people look fine when I see it......"

Zhang De, who was still a child at the time, heard the phrase "white-haired people send black hair" for the first time, and it was also the first time he saw the sigh and sadness on his tall father's face.

Probably because of this, when he entered the Third Hospital to work, he visited the History Museum of the Academy, and after seeing Director Yin's introduction, he remembered this incident again, but he didn't remember the name Yin Shikang.

Later, Yin Renxin joined the company, and there was a period of gossip within the hospital, which made him recall this incident again.

Then, it's today.

In this world, there are many coincidences, and there should not be many people who can experience this kind of coincidence.

Zhang De's heart moved, and he pressed the thought in his heart again.

He counted the time, went to the outpatient office, and saw many patients in the afternoon, new patients who came for the first time, old patients who often came for re-examinations, in and out of the office in an endless stream, but it was not as busy as the internal surgery and pediatrics.

When it was time to get off work, Zhang De also got off work on time.

During this period, the ward only sent a message once, and Dr. Xiao Liu relayed the results of the orthopedic consultation and the surgical arrangements to Zhang De. The thought in Zhang De's heart moved again, but he still pressed it.

I went to the hospital parking lot, and after driving out of the hospital, I encountered two red lights in quick succession at the intersection.

The process of driving is always boring during the rush hour after work, and taking public transportation is not a pleasant experience.

Zhang De's hand tapped on the steering wheel.

The red light turned green, but the road in front of it was blocked, and the car at this end could only be blocked in the middle of the road.

If you turn a corner, you can pass smoothly......

Zhang De turned the steering wheel like a miracle and chose a completely different route from his usual commute.

The car drove wildly for a while, and then passed a residential area.

Zhang De slowed down.

The mobile phone rang, waking Zhang De up.

Zhang De stabilized his mind and put on a Bluetooth headset.

On the other end of the line was his wife's voice.

His wife is the head nurse of the hospital affiliated to the Medical University, and her work is only as busy as he is. The two have twin daughters who are studying in college. In the past two years, there were only two husbands and wives in the family.

"Just rescued a patient...... Are you home? The wife's tired voice came from the phone.

"It's on the way. I'll pick you up. Zhang De said, "Just find a shop outside at night......"

"7 beds blood pressure has risen again!" Suddenly there was a shout on the phone.

Before Zhang De finished speaking, he was hung up.

In just a few seconds, Zhang De could hear the busy sound on the other end of the phone.

He sighed and sent a voice message to his wife.

He drove all the way to the hospital affiliated to the medical university, found a parking space nearby, and had dinner at a small shop casually, and when he looked at his mobile phone, he still did not receive a reply from his wife.

Zhang De didn't think much about it, asked the store to pack some meals that could be stored for a long time, and went to the Affiliated Hospital of Medical University with a plastic bag.

The little nurse in the department knew Zhang De and thanked him again and again when she took the meal.

“…… It's still being rescued inside. Today this patient is in a very bad condition. The little nurse said worriedly.

"It's okay, don't call her. You can eat anything. I'll go back first. Zhang De smiled and left the hospital.

He had not walked a few steps when he heard the chatter of the little nurses behind him. It wasn't the first time he had come to see his wife, and he knew that he was a good husband in the mouth of this group of little nurses. This is a happy thing, and it is always a compliment.

Thinking about it like this, Zhang De's thinking diverged.

I went to the parking lot to get the car, and on the way home, Zhang De took a detour.

He passed through the neighborhood again.

In winter, it gets dark early, and the street lights are on. Before, you could see the lights of the buildings along the street all the way. Modern people always go to bed later and later, and the night of a modern city is like the night sky of ancient times, and the night sky of a modern city is probably as bleak as the city of ancient times.

But there is no light in this community.

There is only light from street lamps, but there is no light in residential buildings.

So quirky.

Zhang De parked the car on the side of the road.

He stared at the community for a long time, and Xu Hongcai's wandering gaze and strange words kept appearing in his head.

Xu Hongcai was not looking at him, nor was he talking to him.

People with schizophrenia often hallucinate and talk to the characters in the hallucinations.

Zhang De should have been accustomed to this.

There are such patients among the old patients he is currently treating, and he has seen many such patients in his more than 20 years of medical practice.

From the moment he saw Xu Hongcai, Zhang De faintly felt different.

This is an intuition, and from a rational point of view, it is the subconscious mind that makes a judgment after the accumulation of experience to a certain extent.

This happens in any industry.

Zhang De couldn't tell what was strange about Xu Hongcai, and even when analyzing the case, he could put Xu Hongcai in the typical case, but this weirdness lingered in his heart.

He looked at his phone again.

The wife still hasn't sent a message, and the rescue over there is estimated to be still ongoing, and the wife probably won't come back tonight.

He thought for a moment, slipped his phone into his pocket, and opened the car door.

The cold wind made him shiver.

He looked up at the end of the neighborhood road, which seemed to stretch endlessly, deep into the darkness.
