Chapter 141: Delusion
There was a basket hanging at the end of the bed, with a medical record book inside. Lin Xi picked it up and saw that it started with his name, age, gender and some basic information.
Lin Xi saw his illness at first sight - delusional disorder.
And schizophrenia.
Turning to the second page, I saw a detailed medical record.
——The patient said that he had a lover who was invisible to others and accompanied him. After his lover died, she turned into a ghost and came back. This symptom has lasted for half a year without any relief.
The student was diagnosed with schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Honestly, this medical record card is quite convincing. Behind it are pages of records of every consultation and the treatment tailored to Lin Xi's condition. In a case like Lin Xi's, direct medication is definitely not an option; it's ineffective. Furthermore, Lin Xi is particularly resistant to medication, and with her background as a judo champion, a forceful approach could potentially harm the medical staff.
Therefore, the current approach is still mental intervention, and there is not much physical intervention on Lin Xi.
Psychological counseling interviews are conducted twice a week, followed by further assessments by a psychologist.
The conclusion is that the condition is serious and discharge is not recommended.
After reading it, Lin Xi silently put down the medical record and called out to Chen Sangning. This time, there was no limit on the number of participants in the dungeon, so Chen Sangning could accompany Lin Xi. After she called out to Chen Sangning, she emerged from her body, landed on the bed, and smiled at Lin Xi.
The first time she saw Chen Sangning, Lin Xi realized that something was wrong. She immediately leaned over and held Chen Sangning's cheek with her hands: "Wife, what's wrong with you! Why have you become so clear-headed and stupid again?" Chen Sangning blinked, tilted her head as Lin Xi held her cheek, and the stupidity in her eyes became more and more obvious.
Bad news: Shen Sangning's condition has regressed again.
The good news: at least we haven't regressed to the way we first met. Now we're just a little bit stupid, but the stupidity isn't that big.
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Many speculations emerged in her mind, and then she concluded that Shen Sangning must have encountered something while she was away, and the most likely one was the white fog outside the villa.
Lin Xi knew before that the white mist would corrode the ghost's sanity. Shen Sangning was also a ghost, and looked no different from the ghosts in this world, so Shen Sangning would also be corroded by the white mist. If a ghost completely loses its sanity, it will turn into a white ghost. Shen Sangning has only become a little stupid now, which is much better than turning into an irrational white ghost.
Although Shen Sangning has become a little stupid and not as smart as in the previous copy, as long as there are no major problems, it is good news.
Lin Xi relaxed and sat down next to Shen Sangning. She reached out and held Shen Sangning's hand. After resting for a while, she stood up and found a pen and paper on the bedside table. She copied down the rules on the wall. She kept the envelope close to her body. The hospital gown was quite inconvenient. Not only was it thin, but the pockets were also very shallow.
Fortunately, there are many pockets. There are two on the pants and two on the left and right sides of the shirt, a total of four.
You know what, wearing a hospital gown feels quite novel.
When Lin Xi went to the bathroom to look for the rules, she saw herself in the mirror. She didn't know what the committee was thinking, but Lin Xi's initial state was really like that. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, and she looked quite energetic, but against the thin hospital gown, she looked a bit like a crazy woman.
Lin Xi had been hospitalized before. Who didn’t get sick and have a fever when they were a child? But when she was hospitalized at that time, she didn’t wear a hospital gown. She just wrapped herself in her own clothes and went to bed. After the saline solution was finished, she was discharged directly from the hospital. There was no chance for her to wear a hospital gown.
The material of the hospital gown was also somewhat different from what Lin Xi had imagined. Although it felt thin when worn, the material was actually not thin. It felt a bit like polyester cotton. In addition to the hospital gown, Lin Xi also had a pair of pure cotton socks and a pair of cotton and linen slippers on his feet.
Lin Xi also asked Shen Sangning next to her: "Ningning, what do you think of me?"
"My wife looks so pitiful."
As expected, she is Shen Sangning, she can look at things from different angles.
Lin Xi turned around in her hospital gown and touched her nose: "Really, putting on a hospital gown gives me a feeling of 'ah I'm so weak'." Lin Xi looked at the sky outside again. The sun was shining brightly, but it was obvious that it was daytime. It was definitely not after the lights were turned off at night. They only said that I couldn't leave the hospital, not that I couldn't leave the ward.
So after Lin Xi copied the rules from the toilet, he went straight to the door. The door was also the kind of hospital door, with a frame dug out of the door panel and glass installed, so that the situation inside could be seen from the outside. Lin Xi opened the door handle, took Shen Sang Ning's hand, and walked outside.
After leaving the ward, Lin Xi truly felt what the words "a swarm of demons" meant. Lin Xi, wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, was already a very normal person in the crowd. The rest looked weird like zombies. At this moment, Lin Xi almost thought he had come from a supernatural movie to a zombie movie.
An elderly man, holding a doll in his hand, said in a deliberately high-pitched voice, "Oh, how come our little bear is so cute!"
A man who looked to be in his thirties was holding onto a pillar and banging his head against it. Fortunately, the medical staff knew in advance that his brain was not working well and had tied a sponge pad on his head, so even though he banged his head against it so many times, his head was not injured.
A girl in her twenties, with a haggard appearance and a thin body like a skeleton, sat on the ground and toasted with a fellow patient in the air, muttering: "I can't drink anymore, I really can't drink anymore, I need to lose weight." The fellow patient next to her was also a heavyweight, with a sad face and tears, saying: "Why did she abandon me in the first place? What's wrong with me? I can change."
Lin Xi fell silent for a moment. She suddenly felt that she was just imagining having a wife and was indeed a normal person.
However, their behavior seemed to violate some of the hospital's rules. The first rule was to maintain silence in the hospital and refrain from making noise. But they were all far from being quiet. Just as Lin Xi was wondering, a nurse in a white uniform emerged from the nurses' station. Her face was a little irritable as she hurried out from behind the station. "Please don't make a scene in the hallway. Go back to your respective rooms," she said, pulling up a man and a woman who were sitting on the floor, clinking glasses, and stuffing them back into Ward 408.
She acted decisively and in a short while, she had dealt with all the patients in the corridor, leaving only Lin Xi.
The nurse looked at Lin Xi. Although she was still very irritable, she tried to squeeze out a kind smile like an angel in white: "Lin Xi, why are you still here? Go back to your room quickly. You are the best. You don't make a fuss. Let's be quiet and go back to our room obediently."
There is another rule that requires patients to cooperate with treatment, but it does not say that they must listen to doctors and nurses.
So Lin Xi smiled at the nurse. When she thought she was going to go back to her room as she had said, she blurted out, "No, I don't want to. I want to walk around for a while."
The veins on the nurse's forehead were bulging. She was about to say something when a bell suddenly rang in the hallway, and the digital sign hanging in the hallway showed the words "416-02". Lin Xi knew that the sign in the hallway was to indicate who rang the bell. Seeing that no one had come out of the nurses' station for a long time, the nurse said to Lin Xi, "Hurry back to your room." Then she turned and walked towards Room 416.
Not long after she entered the ward, the bell in the corridor stopped ringing.
Lin Xi thought about it and decided not to listen to the nurse. She held Shen Sang Ning's hand and continued walking forward. She passed by ward after ward. Some of them still had nurses in them. Obviously, the reason no one came out of the nurse station when the bell rang just now was not because the nurses were slacking off, but because they were called away by various patients.
Occasionally, a nurse saw Lin Xi and knew her name, so she asked her to go back to her room. Lin Xi nodded in agreement, but she had no intention of going back to her room. It was troublesome to have nurses bothering her all the time. Lin Xi simply walked into the utility room when she passed by, and then found a nurse's uniform that she hadn't worn yet, and then quietly took it back to her room.
The nurses only saw Lin Xi walking towards her room, but they didn't see anything in her hand. After she returned to her room, she changed her clothes, took off her hospital gown and put on a nurse's uniform. She tied her hair up and stuffed it all into the nurse's cap according to the appearance of a nurse in the real world in her memory.
After the change, she asked Shen Sangning to help her see if there was anyone outside. After receiving the reply that there was no one, she tiptoed out of the room, crossed the corridor, directly opened the door of the ward on the fourth floor, and walked to the elevator room.
The structure of the ward of Binjiang Qingmu Mental Hospital is similar to the hospitals Linxi has visited before, with two sections, front and back, separated by a corridor and elevator in the middle. The front section is the ward, with 8 wards on each side, a total of 16; the back section is the doctor's office and treatment room.
Lin Xi also knew the contents of both sides through the metal signs on the wall.
When I arrived at the elevator hall, I found that there were 7 floors in total.
⑧
There are also signs hanging on the walls of the elevator hall, which simply indicate the main functions of each floor.
1st floor, service counter, payment counter, testing center;
2nd floor, inpatient department;
3rd floor, inpatient department;
4th floor, inpatient department;
5th floor, treatment area;
6th floor, operating area;
7th Floor, Personnel Department.
Looking up there was terrifying, so Lin Xi decided to go downstairs first. After all, it was all inpatient wards, and they should be similar to this floor. However, she didn't plan to take the elevator. Instead, she pushed open the emergency exit door on the other side and walked up the stairs.
The door opened, and the sensor light lit up in response. Lin Xi took Shen Sang Ning down a few steps, and the light went out. Lin Xi walked a few more steps, but it didn't light up. She had no choice but to say "Hey!"
