“Help, it’s so itchy… There areinside my face…” Inside the quarantine room, Xie Yiman paced around in pain She’d bury her head deep into the pillows or pinch her ar her face Her face was now filled with scars Suddenly she sla nurses quickly rushed in to stop her Beneath the halo of celebrity, she was just an 18-year-old girl and she started to weep The live feed of the situation inside the quarantine rooh the cahai and the other doctors frowned as they watched the development on screen, it was clear that Xie Yi
“The patient has shown increased signs of self-mutilation, we need to postsaid
“Prof Zhang, if we strap the patients into place,” Gu Jun asked, “Will it worsen their mental stability?”
What was the cause? Since they had no answer, there was not ical illness, it was not froy or a skin tu valuable either Local anaesthesia could not stop the itching Co all these factors, all the doctors across the country reached the consensus that this was ical disorder’
Gu Jun was afraid that was the case because once it was defined as a neuropsychiatric illness, the treatment would be extraordinarily hard If it was caused by a bacterius were different if it was a psychiatric illness In ly common due to the amount of stress people suffered from daily life It hy over the counter antidepressants was such a million dollar industry
In fact, there was an actual psychiatric disorder called fictitious dermatitis that bore resemblance to Xie Yiman’s conditions The patients would coh all the testing had shown that there was nothing They refused to believe in the results and insisted on the presence of parasites Nail biting and minor self-mutilation was a common manifestation of this illness If not for the brand-like rashes on the patient’s faces and their siround, this could be easily misconstrued as fictitious der the patient orsen hersaid sternly, “Ah Jun, I think you need to go talk to the patient, after all, she has for works, shall we try induced coestion that was on everyone’s mind Induced coma was mainly used to treat concussion victims But sometimes a deep anaesthesia was necessary to i to her first” Gu Jun said Neuropsychiatric disorder referred to either abnorical function or mental disturbance, this case leaned towards the latter because local anaesthesia proved futile Then the key treatment method here would have to focus on how to correct and adjust the patient’s mental status
“To cure this kind of illness, one nor offered With decades of experience in the der expert at Phecda “Such patients have an abnorer of sorts in theirwill stop So one has to convince theer will be switched off But that in itself is a circular activity, it is why this illness is so hard to treat”
How to stop the itchiness was the ical disorders, so effects Patients with light syndro applied on the affected area If anti-infla medicine did not work, then the doctor would prescribe anti-depressant and sedative before finally applying local anaesthesia In Xie Yiman’s case, they had reached the anaesthetic step by prescribing her the procaine block therapy Local anaesthesia was applied to lower the sense of itchiness or pain and with psychiatric treatment, one would head towards recovery But due to supernatural influence, none of these , Xie Yiman should not be able to feel her face any of worolden aloe but it was also useless Perhaps a live aloe would be effective but they still had not figured out a way to transport that out fro to Lucky’s latest report, there was no new activity at the House of Worht of any new channel either
“I’ll go talk to her” After theended, Gu Jun returned to the quarantine room Currently all the patients were kept at local hospitals, Phecda was still considering the logistics ofall the patients That needed more time to confirm and plan But the patients could not wait anymore
“Captain Gu, save rab at his protective suit and pleaded, “Please save me…” Gu Jun took a deep breath Whenever he heard these please, his heart would tear Temporary, the most serious patient of this new illness was Xie Yiman The rash on her face did not expand but the itchiness was close to breaking down her rasped the basic situation already The suit is just part of the procedure, your illness is not contagious It is not caused by bacteria or virus, instead yourinfluenced by some kind of supernatural forces” Gu Jun patted Xie Yiently explained to her the concept of neuropsychiatric-based derer anything in her Prof Zhang warned hiot anxious very easily Clai with your mind’ would not sit ith them After years in clinical treatment, one’d learn how to interact with patients Respect and empathy towards patients were extremely important Therefore, when Gu Jun chatted with Xie Yiman, he was careful to not paint her as a crazy person but as a victim
“That kind of force forative sti you believe that there is itchiness on your face and it will not go away no matter how hard you scratch at it But if we sever this connection, the itchiness will go away” Gu Jun was not just speculating, that was how they cured Nightmare Illness
“Then… then what should I do now?” Xie Yiman was confused and anxious but she had trust in Gu Jun
“We will increase the dosage of sedative in you and affix you to the bed Your limbs will be tied and all you need to do is to focus your consciousness and resist!” Gu Jun encouraged “Ignore the itchiness and ill see ill happen tomorrow!” To have the patient face the connection and resist it head on ht be able to disrupt the mental connection
“No, no, no…” Once she heard that, Xie Yiman panicked She screamed with tears “If that’s the case, I’d die! Captain Gu, it’s not that I don’t want to resist but I can’t! Do you understand itated emotion, Gu Jun knew this method would not work because the focus of the treatment was not on the sedative but on the patient’s th
