With the mentality of giving it a try, Sophia made an appointment for Zhou Qiao's services and came to the iris clinic on time.

Her mood was like a rainy day outside. The whole person is listless, his face is dull, and with his fat and bloated body, he is simply useless! I don't know if there will be anyone in the future!

San Francisco has a strange climate, which is often shrouded in cold sea fog on what should be a hot summer, with an average temperature of 15-21°C, and the sea is so cold that ordinary people dare not swim in the sea.

In winter, it began to rain a lot, and the air became extremely humid, making it the same as spring, and some people even walked outdoors in single clothes.

Sophia walked into the Iris Clinic in a bad mood full of worries.

This clinic has a small façade, but after walking in, it has a unique cave, giving people a very warm feeling. Very refreshing and not particularly humid. Because the dehumidification system of the air conditioner is on all day and night.

Sophia's eyes lit up slightly, but that's it.

Ava was the first to see Sophia, so she smiled and greeted: "Hello, kind lady, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

Originally, she always said "beautiful lady" or "lovely lady" on both sides, but when she came to Sophia, those two words couldn't be said anyway, for fear that saying it would make the other party unhappy, so she took the opportunity to change to a kind lady!

This is what Zhou Qiao taught her, to learn to praise people. Praise people in different ways, not only to praise, but also to praise people to really believe!

I have to say that Elena and Ava, who are blonde and blue-eyed, are excellent for using as a façade, cutting men and women, Sophia saw such a beautiful Snow White Barbie-like little beauty smiling at herself, and praising herself, and she was in a better mood.

"My name is Sophia, and I have made an appointment with Dr. Zhou." Sophia said lightly. After speaking, the bitter gourd face pulled down again.

Ava: "Ah~, it was a call from the morning before yesterday, right?" I remember you. Dr. Zhou happens to be free, let's go, I'll take you over! Immediately, he led Sophia to Zhou Qiao's office.

Sophia saw Ava's graceful body in the back, and she didn't know how envious she was, and said that if only I were so thin!

It's just that, at the same time of envy, I inexplicably began to be irritable.

In fact, Ava is not thin, she and Elena are just slender and have quite flesh on their bodies.

The fat place is fat, the thin place is thin, and the bumps are convex.

"Doctor Zhou, Sophia is here! I made an appointment with you before! ”

There are outsiders present, Ava is a serious person who calls Dr. Zhou, and in private it is "Big Baby", "Big Brother", "Big Pervert", "Joe", "Big Joe...... There are various nicknames.

However, although there are many nicknames, they are basically preceded by a "big" word!

Elena and Ava understand men! Every time he adds the word "big", Zhou Qiao will be very excited!

Last night, Zhou Qiao was stunned when he heard Ava call herself "Da Qiao", and her body trembled violently: "But don't call me Da Qiao!" ”

"Why?" The second daughter was puzzled.

"Big Joe is a woman!"

"What?"

Zhou Qiao: "She is a beautiful woman in ancient China, and she also has a younger sister named Xiao Qiao!" Living in the south of the Yangtze River, the fame at that time was resounding in the north and south, and even the most powerful princes in the north wanted to capture them and imprison them! ”

"Why are you imprisoned? Isn't that a waste? ”

stunned Zhou Qiao all of a sudden, and Zhou Qiao laughed strangely: "It's like I imprisoned the two of you!" ”

"Perverted!"

"What a pervert!" The second daughter hurriedly ran away and screamed!

Those props were chosen by Elena and Ava themselves!

……

"Dr. Zhou, Sophia is here, she came for a weight loss consultation!" Seeing Zhou Qiao smirking and not knowing what she was thinking, Ava couldn't help but raise her voice and solemnly introduce it again!

Sophia: "......" how do you feel that this doctor is unrelenting, and I don't know if he is professional or not. She couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Ah, Sophia, hello, hello." Zhou Qiao came back to his senses, hurriedly greeted him, and then said, "Please take a seat!" ”

Sophia sat down.

Ava asked softly, "Black tea or coffee?" ”

"Coffee, thanks, less sugar."

Ava nodded lightly and went out.

Zhou Qiao asked, "Hello, Sophia, what kind of needs do you have?" Or are you feeling unwell? ”

Sophia said, "That's right, I was introduced by Christie, and she said that she had surgery with you before, and it was obesity caused by Cushing's syndrome, look at my ......."

Sophia gestured at her figure and continued, "Is my situation also Cushing's syndrome?" Can I lose weight with surgery? ”

Zhou Qiao looked at her seriously, and then shook his head and said, "You obviously don't have Cushing's syndrome." ”

Although Sophia is fat, she does not have the typical features of Cushing's syndrome, at least not the moon face and buffalo back.

"And what am I?" Sophia asked.

"Can you tell me about your usual eating habits?" Zhou Qiao said.

"Yes!"

Just then, Ava brought in coffee.

Her coffee brewing skills are good, and the coffee beans are also carefully selected and of better quality, and the brewing is simply fragrant.

Sophia sniffled, couldn't help but pick up her coffee, and drank it all up! Then he said to Ava: "Please have another cup and put more sugar, thank you!" ”

Her less sugar is actually someone else's polysaccharide. Ava put less sugar in it, and Sophia felt that if it was sweeter, it would be more perfect!

Zhou Qiao: "......"

Ava: "......"

Sophia looked at her in surprise and asked, "What?" Is there a problem? …… Can't refill? ……”

Ava hurriedly said, "No, no, you can refill the cup." Wait a minute, I'll be right away! ”

Zhou Qiao frowned slightly.

Sophia couldn't help but say, "Doctor Zhou, you won't feel sorry for your coffee, right?" Well, I have to admit that your coffee tastes really good! ”

Zhou Qiao smiled bitterly and asked, "Can you tell me how many cups of coffee you drank in a day at most?" Or a drink? What foods were eaten? ”

"The most in one day?" Sophia was a little confused, she seemed to eat quite a lot every day, "That...... I probably can't remember. ”

Zhou Qiao said: "Just say what you remember, the most impressive day!" And then for what reason? This is very important for me to diagnose your condition. ”

Sophia thought about it carefully and said: "The day I ate the most, it should have been a rainy day two years ago, it was also raining heavily like today, it was very humid, my ex-boyfriend's scumbag dumped me, I was in a very bad mood, so I ate 4 big bags of 500 grams of toast, 9 cakes, 3 cups of Coke, and fried myself 2 steaks and 4 eggs, until the moment when I couldn't swallow a mouthful of water, I suddenly felt very happy, and I felt like I had seen everything!" ”

"After eating, I felt warm in my stomach, very relaxed, and very decompressed!"

Speaking of this, Sophia herself was stunned.

Zhou Qiao keenly grasped this core: "You mean, after you overeat, your mood will improve?" Does your body feel comfortable? ”

"Yes!" Sophia took a deep breath and said, "Doctor Zhou, in fact, I don't know what's going on, anyway, when I'm in a particularly bad mood, I just can't control my desire to eat!" Whatever it is, just put it in your mouth! And then it will be particularly satisfying. ”

"I know it's not good, but I just can't control myself!"

"Doctor Zhou, I shouldn't have any serious mental illness, right?" Under Zhou Qiao's inducement, Sophia dissected it by herself, and then she was surprised to find that it seemed that she had grasped the key to the problem!

Zhou Qiao said: "You may have emotional mental illness, but overeating is not!" This should be bulimia nervosa. It's physiological! ”

"Bulimia nervosa? What the heck? Sophia was stunned, she had never heard of this disease, she had never heard of it!

Zhou Qiao smiled slightly and explained to her.

"Binge eating disorder is actually a type of eating disorder."

"This is what we often call 'emotional eating', which includes anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and vomiting nervosa."

"This disease, which often occurs in young women and even some underage women, is a relatively serious psychosomatic disease."

Of course, this was not diagnosed by Zhou Qiao with his own strength, he really didn't dabble in this area, so he used the system's auxiliary diagnosis.

The conclusion given by the system is: bulimia nervosa + bipolar disorder.

Zhou Qiao has the assistance of the system, and when he asks for a diagnosis, he will be at ease!

Now that the points are abundant, the system is also a tool, and there is no need to use it in vain. It only cost 2 points to help Sophia diagnose, which is not worth mentioning.

Zhou Qiao smiled slightly and continued: "Judging from the statistical clinical cases, there are very few people who simply suffer from binge eating disorder, and most patients with binge eating disorder are accompanied by other mental disorders, such as depression and bipolar disorder, so it is often necessary to consider comprehensively when treating and find out the root cause of binge eating in order to better treat it." ”

"Huh? Am I really mentally ill? Sophia's head buzzed. Doesn't the heart say I'm not Cushing's syndrome? I'm here for Cushing's syndrome!

Zhou Qiao didn't explain anymore, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll print out a few test sheets, and we'll do a scientific evaluation!" ”

"Do you still have to do a test?" Sophia is most afraid of answering questions.

"It's okay, I'll help you together." Zhou Qiao said.

Just then, Ava brought in the coffee again.

The coffee was brewed with hot water, however, ice cubes were thrown into it. It's the same with big winters, it's a habit of Americans. They don't like to drink hot drinks. What's more, it's not cold in San Francisco.

Sophia couldn't help it again, picked it up and drank it all, and when she wanted to refill the cup, she opened her mouth and looked at Zhou Qiao and Ava, who were looking at her in surprise, Sophia couldn't help but immediately cover her mouth!

The action is quite exaggerated!

At the same time, her expression became hideous, and an extremely low emotion invaded her heart: "Why can't I control it like this? ”

"I have to drink two cups of coffee in other people's clinics, and I actually want to refill the third cup!"

"I'm such a jerk, I want to pump myself!"

The depressed mood quickly turned into irritability, and she was tempted to pound the table, even ...... Kill yourself!

Ava couldn't help but take a step back, and said expectantly, "...... It's okay to renew the third cup...... We have unlimited coffee here, enough tubes! ”

Ava was about to go back and continue to help Sophia brew coffee, but Zhou Qiao stopped her and said, "Ava, no need, it's not good for Sophia's condition!" ”

"Oh, okay." Ava was relieved, not that she was reluctant to coffee, but she felt a little psychological pressure!

It can be seen that Sophia's condition is really serious, and her emotional disorders have been invisibly transmitted to others and began to affect the people around her.

Zhou Qiao hurriedly reassured and said: "Relax, Sophia, follow me, take three deep breaths, exhale~, inhale~, exhale~, inhale~......"

Finally, under Zhou Qiao's guidance, Sophia's expression slowly changed from hideous to calm.

"Dr. Zhou, what should I do? I really feel like I'm dead, I want to kill myself! Sophia exhaled and ran her hands through her hair, trying to calm herself down.

Zhou Qiao sighed in his heart, it seems that this condition is quite serious, and he has a tendency to self-harm and suicide, it seems that he can't do it without taking out a little killer idea!

So, while printing out the test sheet, he silently instructed the system in his mind: "Exchange the master-level knowledge and treatment methods related to bulimia nervosa and bipolar disorder." ”

This condition, which does not require surgery, can be relieved or cured with medication, physical therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and specific psychological counseling.

Zhou Qiao printed out the bipolar disorder test form, with a total of 90 questions, and assisted Sophia in answering the questions while asking for a consultation.

When the results came out, Zhou Qiao made it clear that Sophia had bipolar disorder.

This disease, also known as "bipolar disorder", is simply understood as sometimes manic, irritable, sometimes depressed, and depressed......

It's like a rubber band, tightening and loosening; It's like a piece of glass, hot and cold.

How can you stand that?

Rubber bands quickly lose their elasticity and crumble, and glass shatters!

As for humans, it's easy to do things that hurt yourself or others! Either way, the consequences are unimaginable.

"You're already prone to self-harm, I'm going to have to give you good guidance!" Zhou Qiao looked at Sophia's eyes and said seriously.

……

Before you know it, an hour has passed.

The door of Zhou Qiao's clinic has not yet opened, and Sophia is still in it!

In the rest area outside, there were already the next patients waiting, originally three patients, all of whom had made an appointment with Dr. Zhou, but Sophia didn't finish for a long time, and two of them went to Rachel's office at Ava's suggestion.

Elena came over to Ava and asked quietly, "Who is in Zhou Qiao's consultation room?" Isn't it a woman? ”

Ava said, "Sister, how do you know? ”

"Hmph, the man will grind for so long? It must have been when I met a beautiful woman! Elena pouted, she knew about Zhou Qiaoke.

In retrospect, when Luo Ya came to the doctor, Zhou Qiao was "grinding and grinding", if it was a different man, Elena felt that Zhou Qiao would definitely not be so dedicated!

Ava didn't help her sister this time, but spoke for Zhou Qiao: "Sister, you misunderstood, although the woman is a woman, but ...... Joe, he wouldn't be interested in the woman. ”

"Oh?"

Seeing that Elena didn't believe it, Ava leaned into her sister's ear and whispered a few words, and suddenly, Elena smiled. After all, it's not good to openly say that Sophia is bad.

I heard that Sophia is so ugly and fat, how can Elena not feel at ease? Although Zhou Qiao is embarrassed, his vision and requirements are still quite high! He really can't look down on the average!

"That's good. It's just that the diagnosis and treatment time is so long, and the diagnosis and treatment fee is also very expensive! Elena muttered, and began to worry about the patient's opinion again.

Because, the iris clinic is charged by the hour, and it is almost 65 minutes now.

The maximum standard of outpatient hours of -5 has already been exceeded, and another -4 needs to be superimposed.

Level-5: 40 minutes of outpatient time, outpatient fee of about 225 USD;

Level-4: 25 minutes of clinic time, outpatient fee of about $160;

In other words, the outpatient fee alone is as high as $385! Other fees are not included!

Fortunately, Zhou Qiao's door to the clinic finally opened, he sent Sophia out, and heard him explaining some usual precautions to Sophia, and the other thing was to let her continue to take medicine.

"Sophia, your disease, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, in addition to continuous medication, you also need to come to the outpatient clinic for regular check-ups, plus nutritional therapy, and increase exercise, in order to slowly eliminate."

"Uh-huh, Dr. Zhou, thank you. After your physical therapy and psychological counseling, I am in a much better mood now, I feel less interested in food, and I look forward to the day when I will lose weight sooner! Sophia said happily.

Zhou Qiao nodded and encouraged: "As long as you persevere, cooperate with my treatment, and come for regular check-ups, I believe that at most, you will be able to see satisfactory results!" ”

Since Sophia was introduced by Christie, Zhou Qiao didn't give her a price increase. Because often new customers will be 20-30 dollars more expensive than old customers!

However, even if it is 385, it is excellent value for money, which is a master-level treatment. There are also two or three hundred domestic expert numbers, or even more expensive, and the time has not been so long.

"Physical therapy?"

Outside the door, Elena and Ava looked at each other, what kind of treatment was that? decided that if you have time, you must torture Zhou Qiao well. If it's a good treatment, they want it too!

Because, from the time Sophia enters the house to the time she leaves, the changes before and after are amazing.

When Sophia first came in, her face was full of anger, bitter melon face, she walked listlessly, and she was depressed, but when she went out now, it was as if she had been brainwashed, and she was full of energy, radiance, and hope for the future!

Oh my God, what did Zhou Qiao do to others?!

Fortunately, Sophia's appearance is mediocre, otherwise, Elena and Ava would have thought about it, because Zhou Qiao often does some indescribable things with them in the consultation room!
