Chapter 139 Number One
When it comes to a mental hospital, everyone's impression is that it is surrounded by high walls on four sides, the gate is locked, gloomy, dark, formidable and terrifying, and there is a "cage feeling" everywhere.

The patients are also disheveled, unkempt, talking nonsense, and insane. The nurses are rough and rough, holding electric batons, and the doctors are sedatives in addition to sleeping pills.

Hmm... In fact, this phenomenon is apart from the long-term negative shaping of mental hospitals by various literary and artistic film and television works...

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

Because the psychiatric medical care in that era was completely in a chaotic system, people who were mentally ill at that time, or those who were not easy to be sentenced due to excessive behavior, would be sent to a mental hospital, and once they entered it, they basically had no chance to see the outside world Even some hospitals strictly restricted relatives to visit patients, claiming that this would hinder treatment. Coupled with the imperfect laws at that time, the "mental hospital" was isolated into a category of "no matter what".Therefore, the abuse of patients mentioned in the movie, and the use of patients for human experiments are all real.

At the same time, the treatment methods for mental illness can also be described as flourishing: hydrotherapy, beatings, electric shocks and many other methods that have been put on the screen are actually just pediatrics, and there are more absurd treatments for mental patients, such as "internal birth control". "Forced castration", "clastrophic confinement", "extremity motor nerve stripping".

Anyway, it was all kinds of strange things, and when I thought of a method, I dragged a patient to try it, and the society at that time also believed that this cruel method would help the treatment of mentally ill patients.

Oh, by the way, here I have to mention the most famous operation in the entire human history - "frontal lobotomy"

That is, the doctor takes a long awl, "pops" from above the patient's eyeball, inserts it into the brain, and then "clicks" to stir it up.Since there was no "CT" or "NMR" at that time, all these operations were

by!through!test!
Afterwards, it continued to stir until the doctor himself "felt" that the frontal lobe had been smashed.

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

Because the human brain is so big, after the frontal lobotomy, people will lose many functions, no crying, no laughing, no anger, no fighting, no fighting, no talking, and naturally they will no longer suffer from neuropathy. To put it bluntly, they will become a walking dead. 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...the illness is cured.

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

So before I finish talking, let’s talk about the present. Today, the laws related to mental illness have been gradually improved. Neither drugs nor nursing care are as cruel as mentioned above. The current mental hospital has long been clean and spacious. Bright, the hospital area is still garden-style, the hospital environment is beautiful, the door is always open 24 hours a day, and there is a gentle and lovely nurse sister to help you take a bath
Even hospitalization is divided into male psychiatry, female psychiatry, geriatrics, juveniles, psychology, psychosomatic diseases, mood disorders, sleep disorders, and addiction. Section has expertise.

Keke almost.

The XX City Mental Hospital is a typical example of this modern mental hospital.It is clean, tidy, reasonable, standardized, and humane. It is even rumored that some patients are unwilling to leave the hospital after being cured.Regardless of whether it is true or false, in short, it is deeply loved by the majority of "family members of mentally ill patients" and "media". Not surprisingly, it is the honor of "Excellent Specialized Medical Unit" at the end of the year.

……

……

At 6:[-] p.m., everyone has already left work, and the whole hospital is surprisingly quiet, except for the small sound of "crackling" from the air vent of the air conditioner.

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

He has been on 4 night shifts in a row, and all of them were requested by himself. The director and colleagues advised him to go home and have a rest, but they all refused. This is really abnormal behavior, but since he wants to do it himself , Others don't have much to say.

At this moment, Dr. Zhang locked himself in the office, staring at the computer screen in front of him, frowning.The reason why he kept working overtime like this was certainly not because of workaholic possession or something like that.Rather, he felt that something wrong was happening in this mental hospital.

This feeling first appeared 5 days ago. On that day, a patient in the "Psychological Disorders Department" of the hospital suddenly became manic, attacked people randomly, and almost stabbed a nurse with a needle.Although the patient quickly returned to calm after a shot of anesthetic, and he had a history of mania before, so the final solution to this matter is to increase the dose of the drug and reduce the dose. Did 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 from the hospital.

Sure enough, the next day, another incredible thing happened. A schizophrenic patient who had been hospitalized for nearly ten years... was discharged from the hospital.

This was a very happy thing, and a few reporters came to report on it.However, after so many years of treatment, the patient's condition has not made any progress at all. How could he recover suddenly?And his psychological evaluation is... full marks!
This is absolutely not normal!

Immediately afterwards, another strange thing happened just yesterday. A patient who was only mildly delusional suddenly became ill. He crazily believed that the world was fake, and everyone was just a character imagined by himself. In the end, he was helpless. , had to be diagnosed as "severe delusional disorder" and sent to the "severe disease area" for further treatment.

All of this is definitely not just a coincidence. He also mentioned a few words to others a few days ago, but most people thought he was joking, and some people even cast their eyes like looking at patients, so this is not the way to go, he decided Find out for yourself what's going on in this hospital!
That's why he has to work overtime.

After several days of observation, he finally found some signs.

On the screen, there was a guy with a pointed face, slender eyes, and two scars at the corners of his mouth. Anyway, he didn't look like a good guy.

This person was transferred from another hospital five days ago, and his symptoms were "insomnia".In fact, this kind of disease does not need to be hospitalized at all. Even severe insomnia can be treated in the local hospital, but since the transfer notice has been issued there, I have no choice but to accept it.

But ever since this person was admitted to the hospital, strange things happened one after another.

"It's this person, 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.
