Chapter 710: Special Patient
After Bai Zhi coordinated with the staff at the detoxification center, two people who needed detoxification were brought over.
These two people were ordinary citizens who used to be unemployed. While wandering around, they were lured into drug use.
One of them had gone so far as to lose everything, his family was destroyed, his wife ran away, his father died of anger, and he only had his elderly mother and young daughter at home. When he had a fit of rage, he even tried to sell his daughter. This was his second time being imprisoned, and he was sent here after being reported by the village chief.
Dr. Zhao from the detoxification center, holding the patient's medical record, explained to Bai Zhi, "This case of Yang Sanshun is quite complicated. He has been in and out of prison twice. We really don't have a better way to deal with him because our current method is physical detoxification, plus the use of sedative drugs. Last time we thought he had met the detoxification criteria, but he still relapsed after being released. People like him pose a great threat to society."
Bai Zhi also felt a headache after hearing her colleague's explanation.
To be honest, whether it's traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, the most important thing in drug detoxification or physical detoxification is that the person involved must have a firm belief.
Even if traditional Chinese medicine has excellent methods to help them detoxify successfully, if their willpower is insufficient and they cannot overcome the psychological poison, coupled with being tempted by their companions after gaining freedom, they will still continue down the path of depravity.
This is a problem they are currently facing. Lu Ye, Officer Sun, and Officer Ai, whom she treated before, are all people with very strong willpower. To be honest, even without her, if these comrades in the detoxification center could succeed using physical methods, they would suffer a lot of torment and pain. Human willpower is limitless.
Bai Zhi said, "Dr. Zhao, what you said puts a lot of pressure on me. You know, with things like this, medicine is only an aid. If one's willpower isn't strong, they'll still be tempted after they go out."
"Sigh, that's something we can't control. Let's put that aside for now and solve the current problem first."
When Bai Zhi saw this emaciated patient, his eyes were vacant, his hair was sparse, and his whole body was pale and thin, making him look particularly frightening.
This is the typical image of a drug addict.
Moreover, he was wearing short sleeves and had obvious marks on his body, which were clearly left by being tied up with ropes.
Upon seeing Bai Zhi enter, the man's face first showed a look of surprise, then his eyes returned to their blank expression. Even when he looked at Dr. Zhao following behind Bai Zhi, his gaze was filled with hatred and fear.
The other was a woman, who was also mentally exhausted.
He kept his head down and didn't react.
"When will you let me out?" Yang Sanshun asked.
"Take the antidote before you tell anyone."
"Do you even have the ability?" the man sneered. "You don't know how many times this has happened to me, why do you all have to interfere? Let me tell you, I didn't spend your money, and my body is my own. This is my personal matter."
It's so tough here. We have to exercise on time every day, shout slogans, and even our sleep schedule is the same.
What's even more terrifying is that you'll get beaten up if you don't cooperate at all.
Also, he feels very uncomfortable all over his body right now.
He needs to go out and find something.
Dr. Zhao looked at the man with a face full of anger. "Drugs and narcotics are the common enemy of the whole society. We have zero tolerance for this stuff. Do you know how many anti-drug officers have lost their lives because of this? Do you know how much harm you have caused to society by spreading and using this stuff? How much damage has it done to your family? Your wife ran away, and your father was driven to his death by you. Now it's just your mother and child relying on each other. Are you going to continue down this path of depravity?"
"If you don't get the antidote soon, are you going to sell the child next?"
Yang Sanshun lowered his head guiltily.
He didn't know what he would do in the future, and he didn't want to think about it.
All he knew was that he was feeling terrible.
He needs freedom.
Dr. Zhao said, "This is Dr. Xiaobai. He is a professional in terms of rhythm. You will be receiving treatment here for the next period of time."
"How can I be cured?" The man recalled the scene of being tied up in a small dark room.
What kind of treatments can this young female doctor provide?
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
As a doctor, Bai Zhi is very calm and objective. She tries her best to restrain herself when facing patients. However, when she learns that the two people in front of her have fallen into depravity, even losing their families and having to sell their children, she simply cannot be kind to them.
In addition, the two men were looking at her in a very unfriendly way.
She said, "I need to take your pulses first."
Faced with these two ravenous figures, Bai Zhi felt somewhat intimidated and had Dr. Zhao hold them down from behind the entire time before she took their pulses and made a diagnosis.
After taking her pulse and understanding her condition, she wrote down the medical record and then said, "That's fine, let's start with acupuncture."
"How are they? Are the toxins in their bodies serious?" Dr. Zhao asked.
Bai Zhi said, "It's alright."
Compared to Officer Sun, who was injected with multiple drugs some time ago, these two people have much milder symptoms, but they have absolutely no willpower.
For them, it's more of a psychological dependence.
Upon seeing Bai Zhi take out the silver needles, Yang Sanshun's body suddenly trembled. "Won't this thing kill someone?"
"Don't worry, you won't die that easily."
With the assistance of Dr. Zhao and his colleagues, Bai Zhi gave acupuncture to the two people in turn.
Afterwards, she said, "Next up is moxibustion treatment."
Because Dr. Zhao and his team were complete novices when it came to these treatment methods, Bai Zhi suggested to the hospital that Shen Qian be transferred over.
Shen Qian had studied moxibustion with her and had some experience in it.
Shen Qian was very excited when she heard that she had been temporarily transferred to Bai Zhi's studio.
Before long, they rushed over in a flurry.
With Shen Qian's assistance, the treatment was much more efficient. If it weren't for the two colleagues from the detoxification center helping out, Bai Zhi honestly wouldn't have dared to take on patients like this. Once these people have an attack, they're capable of anything. Given the disparity in strength between men and women, she would probably suffer a real loss.
So Bai Zhi thought about it and decided to discuss with Dean Liu whether the hospital had any male doctors who were interested in this type of treatment and to send two of them over to learn from her and assist with the treatment.
The studio has a central area for brewing herbal decoctions. After Bai Zhi wrote the prescription, the decoction was quickly brewed and delivered to the patient.
How are they? Do they need any other medications?
Bai Zhi said, "Let's observe for now. Acupuncture can be done for 1 to 24 hours, and with the addition of moxibustion and herbal decoction, it will also have some effect. Let's not give sedatives today and see how it goes."
When Bai Zhi got off work in the afternoon, she asked Dr. Zhao and the others to settle the two patients directly into their reinforced ward.
Sending it to the detoxification center and bringing it back tomorrow is quite a hassle.
