Chapter 211: Rituals in Psychotherapy
In the consulting room, Li Maoyang was wearing a white coat and a mask, looking calmly at the sixty-year-old patient in front of him.
The body is thin, the abdomen is as distended as a drum, the limbs are as thin as firewood, and the chest cavity still makes wheezing and phlegm sounds.
After seeing several patients with advanced liver cirrhosis in the city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, he could tell at a glance that he was a patient with advanced liver cirrhosis when he faced such a patient again.
Cirrhosis is a Western medicine disease. As the name suggests, large-scale necrosis of liver cells leads to liver fibrosis and sclerosis.
Based on its main clinical manifestations, traditional Chinese medicine can respond to symptoms such as "accumulation", "jaundice" or "bulging".
The stages of liver cirrhosis are divided into the compensated stage and the decompensated stage.
(Compensation can be simply understood as the function of the diseased organ allowing other organs to operate instead.)
If the patient develops ascites, or has gastrointestinal bleeding (that is, vomiting blood or melena), or even has hepatic encephalopathy, as long as the patient has one of these symptoms, it means that the patient's liver cirrhosis has reached the decompensated stage.
This is what people call late stage liver cirrhosis.
Because the appearance of these symptoms means that the functions of various organs in the patient's body have been extremely weakened and are unable to complete some basic metabolic and operational functions.
Such patients usually do not live more than 5 years.
"Young man, can I... be saved?"
The patient, old man Chen, also looked at Li Maoyang and asked Li Maoyang with a smile.
Now that things have happened, the old man seems to have thought about it.
Being able to have such an open-minded attitude, even on the surface, immediately made Li Maoyang laugh: "Uncle, you have a long-lived appearance that can live to ninety-nine. Don't worry, the Lord of Hell will not take it lightly."
If you change a person's life span, I will take care of your disease."
Chen Guilan, the patient's daughter in her thirties who accompanied the old man, said gratefully: "Thank you, Doctor Li!"
Li Maoyang waved his hand and said with a smile: "You're welcome. It's your dad's appearance that means longevity, that's why I took over, otherwise I wouldn't have taken over."
"Doctor Li, do you really know how to read faces?" the patient's daughter asked dubiously.
Hey, she really believed it!
It's no wonder that she, the patient's family members were already very eager, and Li Maoyang was known as a "little miracle doctor" at such a young age. Even if he was a normal person, he would feel that there was something mysterious about him.
of something.
Li Maoyang was a little speechless. Is it just to make the old man happy? Even if it is a kind of psychological treatment, can you believe this?
But since Chen Guilan asked this, he couldn't just say that he was joking in front of the old man. Wouldn't that be a waste of all his efforts?
"Haha." He smiled and did not answer Chen Guilan's words directly.
But this only made Chen Guilan feel that he was even more mysterious.
"Go back tonight and ask your father to burn three sticks of incense in the courtyard at one o'clock in the morning. Be sure to burn three sticks of incense in the center of the courtyard. Don't say anything. Just burn incense and kowtow. Do not speak to others."
Li Maoyang warned Chen Guilan with his eyes rolling.
Since even Chen Guilan believed what he said, it would be better to take advantage of the situation and simply take the psychological treatment a step further!
Now this old man Chen is only open-minded on the surface, but it is impossible to really eliminate the fear and anxiety in his heart, not to mention how strong his will to survive is. It would be better to use every trick to treat his psychological problems.
Now Li Maoyang has mastered some hypnosis techniques and has made great progress in psychotherapy. He is well aware of the huge role of ritual sense in regulating mental state.
The above instructions he gave to Chen Guilan in front of old man Chen actually emphasized the sense of ritual in psychotherapy.
Why does it have to be emphasized in the early morning?
Why does it have to be in the middle of the yard?
Why can't you speak?
In fact, by emphasizing these details, he is using the superstitious psychology of the country people to emphasize the "sense of ritual."
The more mysterious and miraculous it is, the better the effect will be!
On the contrary, if you don't emphasize these details and say that it can be done in broad daylight or at night, in any location, on the street... uh, this has such a sense of ritual, who will believe it?
In mental therapy, "belief" is the core thing. Without "belief", there will be no therapeutic effect of mental therapy.
"Well, okay, okay, Doctor Li!"
Chen Guilan looked at Li Maoyang with wide eyes and nodded seriously.
Old Man Chen also nodded seriously.
This scene made Li Canyang on the side extremely speechless.
The look in Li Maoyang's eyes was full of contempt.
This guy is talking nonsense again!
Gods and gods are talking, three parts are ghosts and seven parts are doctors. Is this this guy’s secret recipe for healing?
You don't have the image of a doctor at all, why do you look like a divine man?
Is it really okay for a great doctor to mistreat patients like this since he is so sincere?
Li Maoyang ignored Li Canyang's eyes and began to perform four diagnoses on Old Man Chen while taking detailed notes.
He was conscious, his abdomen was as distended as a drum, and his body was extremely weak.
It is difficult to eat and drink, and there are signs of bleeding in the digestive tract.
Phlegm, asthma, cold, chills, cough, yellow and sticky phlegm.
Rare urine and constipation.
The tongue is red, the fur is thin, yellow and greasy, and the pulse is thin, stringy and slippery.
…
It is full of problems, just like a dilapidated old car. The cylinder is broken, the pistons are clogged, and the tires are worn. They are all covered in black smoke and cannot run on the road.
Western medicine treatment requires replacement of parts and liver.
Of course it's a good idea.
The premise is that the old man has so much money, his body can withstand the torment of the operation, and the postoperative rejection reaction is not strong.
Otherwise, it may be a waste of both human and financial resources.
The operation was successful, but the man died.
It can make people laugh to tears...
Okay, let's not talk about this.
Now, if we don't know how to replace parts, how can we save Old Man Chen's old car?
Li Maoyang looked at Old Man Chen and his daughter Chen Guilan with sincere eyes: "You go back and do as I said, and then come back to get the medicine tomorrow."
He had to think carefully about how to treat this disease.
At this moment, he is unable to come up with a relatively precise treatment plan.
"Okay, okay."
Chen Guilan nodded in agreement and left with her father.
"Can you cure this disease?"
Seeing the father and daughter leaving, Li Canyang stared at Li Maoyang with eyes wide open.
"Why should I take over if you can't cure the psychosis?" Li Maoyang rolled his eyes and said, "Come here and discuss how to cure it?"
"Didn't you say you can treat it yourself?" Li Canyang raised his head.
Just as Li Maoyang was about to say something, Qiao Guoguo came with her brother Qiao Langlang.
"I saw a car leaving just now?" Qiao Guoguo came in and asked.
"He must overestimate his ability to take over a patient with advanced liver cirrhosis!" Li Canyang frowned and said to Qiao Guoguo.
Qiao Guoguo stepped forward and took Li Maoyang's diagnosis record and looked at it for a while, and frowned slightly: "A patient turned away by a big hospital?"
Li Maoyang nodded: "But it's not a mule urinating blood, there is a chance to save it. Let's discuss the old man's condition and treatment plan first."
Qiao Guoguo turned back to her younger brother and said, "Pour yourself some water and drink. If you want to listen, just listen. If you don't want to listen, go back and learn your lessons."
Li Canyang patted Qiao Langlang's shoulder affectionately: "It feels like home here."
Then he took the initiative to come around and participate in the disease discussion.
When Qiao Guoguo came, he became interested.
Li Maoyang rolled his eyes at him again, you little bitch.
Qiao Langlang poured a glass of water and drank it. He stood outside and listened to the three people discussing their illness wordlessly. At this moment, he saw a girl walking outside the window. His eyes suddenly kept...
