Crazy Psychologist

Every time the sun rises, there is a cruel reconfirmation of the limb that no longer exists.

People learn to adapt, learn to be strong, and learn to live on.

Life always moves forward and never stops for anyone.

But BIID patients are different. They don't need those extra limbs for them. Their hindrance is not their own. What is preventing them from being whole physically and mentally?

Zhang Wenwen fell asleep after thinking about it. At nine o'clock the next morning, while having breakfast with Dr. Brown in the restaurant of the hotel, Zhang Wenwen decided to ask Dr. Brown if he could ask the patient a few questions, because he also had a patient who was suffering from BIID The patient has been tortured for many years.

Dr. Brown thought for half a cup of Americano before finally nodding reluctantly, "I believe Professor Lewis's recommendation, and in fact BIID patients are stronger than we imagined, and many of them perform well in different fields of work. Surgeons , actors, engineers, architects. They are all very good people with a stronger will and endurance than ordinary people.”

"It is also the kind of people who can pay the high cost of surgery. Without medical insurance, the cost of surgery is not acceptable to ordinary people. In addition, there is a long recovery period after amputation. These require not only money, but also specialized medical staff. Take care, and the recovery period is even longer.”

Dr. Brown took a piece of chocolate muffin and put it in his mouth, "There is no way, but you must know that the network established by Professor Lewis has not changed the cost of surgery and treatment, and it is also to allow more people to have a complete life."

"Has anyone ever regretted it?" Zhang Wenwen finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

Dr. Brown's eyes are gentle and satisfied, "The first patient who received treatment 20 years ago, Professor Lewis' patient, is now 65 years old, living a fulfilling life every day, and is still treating BIID patients Seeking more possible help, he was a pilot before the surgery, and after the amputation, he moved to an office job, where he is now."

"What about his family? Did the family accept him later? Isn't the family's living burden much higher than before?"

"It may seem so, but many BIID patients have imagined themselves as disabled from a very early age. They have imagined and practiced life after amputation countless times before the operation, how to take a bath, how to adjust the interior of the car. Seats so wheelchairs can be easily secured; how to go up and down stairs, and even how to hold children and wives in your arms.

By the way, the incidence rate of BIID in men is higher than that in women. According to Professor Lewis’ research, it may be that men are more persistent in their pursuit of freedom and self than women. Women may be more likely to change this urge to amputate. It is bad or sinful.

Isn't there a lot of research that also confirms that women are more self-effacing and sacrificing in social life, while men are more likely to put their ideas into planning and practice. "

Zhang Wenwen couldn't understand how a normal person would get used to and practice life after disability, but when he thought of Gu Yiping sitting in a wheelchair, he seemed very comfortable and didn't want to stand up at all.

"As for the pressure from the family." Brown continued, "We've seen some divorced people, and we've seen wives happy for their husband's bravery. In short, all of them. As for the cost of surgery and treatment, Professor Lewis has also thought of some ways. In recent years, some mental health foundations have been established in many developed countries, dedicated to improving people's happiness index. The more famous ones are the Obsessive-Compulsive and Anxiety Disorder Foundation, the Anti-Depression Foundation, and various public welfare groups. For example, Alcoholics Anonymous Support Group, Cancer Group, etc., have you heard of these unofficial organizations?"

"There are some non-public fundraising funds in our side now, and there should be non-profit organizations that focus on mental health appearing one after another soon. After finishing the work here, I will rush back to participate in the [Mental Health Annual Conference], I believe prevention systems including [suicide intervention system] and [interpersonal network] will gradually improve.”

"You are very strong, and you may surpass North America and Europe soon. Whether it is academia or civil organizations, I believe it will be very good. But..."

Halfway through speaking, Dr. Brown suddenly looked frustrated and complicated. He frowned and sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Wenwen asked patiently.

"It is impossible for BIID to raise funds openly, because ~ this kind of surgery is not legal."

"So, people who don't have enough money will never be able to get what they think is a complete body?" Zhang Wenwen asked.

"It is true, but there are also many patients who, after receiving treatment, spontaneously raise some funds on a regular basis. Therefore, BIID patients still have a small fund pool, and in recent years, funds that cannot be found have been remitted to our fund. In the account ~www.readwn.com~ I have been investigating the source of these large amounts of funds for a while, but I can’t find them. I guess it should be given to us by an Internet expert or a mysterious person. Thank you all I can't thank you."

After speaking, Dr. Brown stood up and said, "Let's go."

It looks very much like a believer who is rushing to the church to attend the service.

Jiang Feng seemed to know that the two had reached the door, and the hotel room door opened gently in front of Zhang Wenwen and Dr. Brown.

"Very punctual." Jiang Feng said.

"In your previous communication, you specifically emphasized that you are very demanding on time."

Doctor Brown replied.

"But I just came to see a doctor. I didn't think that you would need to provide so much extra care, so I don't even remember that I emphasized this point."

"Although it is treatment, I personally care more about the patient's feelings. Within a reasonable range of acceptance, I hope that both of us will feel very smooth during this period without any obstacles. Next, we will complete a series of tests, including Conduct an MRI again, if you think there is no problem, we will start now."

"Is this one with us too?"

Jiang Feng looked at Zhang Wenwen and frowned, because the only thing he knew all along was Dr. Brown as an intermediary.

"This is Dr. Zhang, a student of Professor Lewis. Professor Lewis has reached the age of retirement and cannot continue to serve this work. Therefore, Dr. Zhang appeared here instead of Professor Lewis. I didn't inform you in advance because I also Just found out about it."

Jiang Feng nodded immediately, apologizing for the impoliteness he might have caused Zhang Wenwen.

Zhang Wenwen smiled at Jiang Feng, and said in Chinese, "Hello."
