Mental Health Center of the Second People's Hospital.

Integrated settlement window.

Lao Da, who had just paid the fee, had an old face, and the wrinkles on his face were as deep as ravines. He groaned and sighed, and even the medical bill in his hand was shaking with his hand.

.

"It only costs 1,500 Donghua coins to see a doctor." He shook his head and sighed, "1,500 yuan, that's all I earned by working hard at the scrap collection station for ten days.

"

Beside him, stood a young man of twelve or thirteen years old, of medium height, but his eyes were bright, exuding a clever and cunning light.

Lao Da groped around on his body, then took out a dry tobacco bag, and then looked for a fire.

"Hey, smoking is not allowed in the hospital." A passing cleaner quickly reminded me.

Lao Da choked and felt a little embarrassed, but he still put the dry tobacco bag away.

"Comrade, you just paid the diagnosis and treatment fee, and you still have to pay the hospitalization fee." The hospital bill collector poked his head out of the semicircular window to remind.

Lao Da always asked: "How much is it?"

"According to what the medical certificate says, the first course of treatment is for one week, 500 a day, 3,500 in total." The fee collector said while typing out the bill.

Lao Da suddenly felt like he had been slapped. He turned around and looked at the young man beside him, Jin Yan, and then at the toll collector. The wrinkles on his forehead were getting deeper. He blew out two heavy breaths from his nostrils and took out his wallet.

After counting the cash inside, it seemed that there wasn't enough, so he took out a bank card and handed it to the window: "Swipe the card."

After paying the fee, Lao Da found a seat in the waiting room and sat down. Jin Yan stood in front of him, with a look of guilt on his face.

"Oh, this money was originally saved for your high school tuition and living expenses. Now..." Lao Da sighed, pointing to the medical certificate and asked Jin Yan: "What is written in the medical column at the back?

What is it?"

The latter raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you literate? You still have to ask me this!"

"Of course I can read!" Lao Da said, "Let me ask you, it says schizophrenia on it. What does schizophrenia mean? Are you having a split brain?"

Jin Yan was a little depressed: "Uncle Da, it's the spirit, not the brain!"

"Spirit, that's not just the brain!" Lao Da didn't turn around.

"I can't tell you, forget it, go to the hospital." Jin Yan asked for the direction of the inpatient department and pulled Lao Da there.

The office of the inpatient department is on the first floor. There is a banner to welcome the New Year hanging in the corridor. It says "Welcome the New Year with great strength, and the inpatient department is full of money" in big characters. The banner is a bit old and I don't know how long it has been hanging there.

"This family is really sincere. Not all they paid was money." Lao Da sighed.

Entering the office, a fat doctor named Chen received them. He first took the medical certificate and looked at it a few times, then asked about the situation. He had an idea in his mind, "Old comrade, there are many people hospitalized in the hospital now, and the hospital beds are very tight.

, let’s arrange for you to live in the same ward with a vegetative person.”

Lao Da immediately started to hum, and he didn't want to. Because when he paid the fee, the toll collector said that he paid for a single room. For the treatment of schizophrenia, patients need a separate ward.

"The man hasn't woken up yet. He just changes the hanging bottle twice a day. It won't hinder you at all." Dr. Chen said, "Let's do this. If you agree, I'll go talk to the hospital and refund half of your money."

After hearing this, Lao Da was moved. He squinted at Jin Yan, and his pitiful eyes clearly told the young man that this matter.

Seeing this look, Jin Yan, who already felt a little guilty for spending a large sum of money on medical treatment and hospitalization expenses for no apparent reason, had nothing more to say, so he nodded proactively.

Dr. Chen was overjoyed. He said this with a clear conscience. The vegetative person in that ward was not originally a patient of the mental health center. When the mental health center was not established fourteen years ago, he was lying in this room.

He is in the People's Hospital. In these years, no one has ever taken care of him or looked at him. If it hadn't been for the strict instructions of the person who sent him here, and a large amount of money was spent every month to treat this person.

to the account of the inpatient department, and it never stopped. This person had been sent out of the hospital long ago. Later, the mental health center under the Yangjialing People's Hospital was established. At that time, there were not many patients and there were many vacant beds. And the people in the inpatient departments of other departments of the People's Hospital were

It was full and it was hard to find a bed. After weighing the situation, the hospital leaders decided to transfer the vegetative patient to the inpatient department of the mental health center first.

Who would have known that over the years, with the emergence of a series of abnormal events, the number of people hospitalized in the mental health center has begun to increase exponentially, and the number of hospital beds has also begun to increase. And due to treatment needs, patients here are all in single rooms. Even vegetative people are in single rooms.

. And if Jin Yan can live in the same house with him, another ward can be freed up, which will increase the efficiency of the inpatient department.

After completing the formalities, under the leadership of Dr. Chen, Jin Yan and the two came to the arranged room. Room 101 at the east end of the corridor on the first floor of the inpatient department. The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a motionless person lying on the bed.

She was facing the wall with her back to him, so she couldn't see her face clearly.

There is a bottle rack next to the bed and a bedside table.

Two nurses carried a folding bed and put it in the room. Since the room was quite spacious, the two beds were not crowded.

Lao Da went back, and half an hour later, he came back with his change of clothes. Then he briefly communicated with the doctors and nurses for a while, told Jin Yan to listen to the doctor's advice and take good care of his health, and then left.

When he leaves, so do the doctors and nurses.

Jin Yan quickly called Dr. Chen: "Doctor, how can I cooperate with the treatment here?"

"Oh, you should lie down first and have a good rest." Dr. Chen said, "We will come over regularly to check on you and check your mental state."

That's it?

After the doctors and nurses left, Jin Yan lay on the folding bed with some depression, holding an old-fashioned Lemon 5 mobile phone in one hand, looking at the information retrieved by the "White Tiger" search engine, and holding the medical certificate he had just received in the other hand, frowning.

Together, their faces were full of depression.

"Schizophrenia is a group of chronic diseases with unknown etiology. It usually starts slowly or subacutely in young adults. Clinically, it often presents as a syndrome with different symptoms, involving multiple disorders in perception, thinking, emotion and behavior.

and incoordination of mental activity..."

"Patients with schizophrenia generally have clear consciousness and basically normal intelligence, but some patients will suffer from cognitive impairment during the course of the disease."

"The disease will relapse, worsen or worsen, and some patients will eventually suffer from decline and mental disability. However, some patients can maintain recovery or basically recover after medication and psychological treatment..."
