The sun was shining brightly, and the shadows of the trees in front of the iris door were swaying. Cathy pushed little Danielle for a slow walk along the tree-lined sidewalk, passing by the door of the clinic, and greeted Ava and Zhou Qiao.
"Dr. Zhou, little Ava, good morning!"
"Good morning, Cathy!"
"Good morning, little Danielle!"
Zhou Qiao and Ava were working together to unpack a box, about one meter high and half a meter long, which had just been delivered by a delivery person. There was new carpet in the clinic, and the box was dusty and a little dirty, so I unpacked it first on the roadside.
"Dr. Zhou, what did you buy?" Cathy asked.
Zhou Qiao said: "It is a newly purchased medical instrument. It is used by psychiatric patients."
"Ah~, Dr. Zhou, can you even treat psychological problems?" Cathy said in surprise.
"That's right!" Zhou Qiao smiled.
Ava echoed: "Qiao is omnipotent!" He can control the operating room, he can control what...
Thinking of Zhou Qiao's bravery last night, Ava couldn't help but playfully make a face at little Danielle, coaxing the baby into giggling.
After unpacking the box, Ava originally wanted to move it with Zhou Qiao, but Zhou Qiao exhaled loudly, picked up the contents alone, and walked towards the clinic.
After taking the Level I transformation potion, he was able to carry the twin girls with ease, not to mention the equipment.
Ava's eyes lit up, she waved to Cathy and little Danielle, and followed them into the house.
Seeing that they were busy, Cathy stopped going in to disturb them. Instead, she pushed little Danielle and continued walking along the avenue.
She is also an old resident here. Many people in the neighborhood know her and greet her and say good morning when they see her!
After the last dog killing incident, there are no more stray dogs on this street. Cathy has already completed her 8 shots of vaccination, and now she has basically forgotten the previous unbearable experience.
However, just because there are no stray dogs for the time being, it does not mean that they will never encounter them. Little Danielle needs to go out for walks and bask in the sun frequently, so she cannot be kept at home all the time.
She was wondering if she should buy some self-defense weapons, the kind that the elderly could use to easily deal with dogs, but she just didn't know what kind to choose. Ordinary guns would have too much recoil, and her old arms and legs were a bit uncontrollable.
Cathy felt that the black girls in Ariel's laundry seemed to be pretty good people. They were a breath of fresh air among black people, and they were all brave and might have better suggestions, so she pushed Danielle there. Laundry chatter, asking how to deal with stray dogs.
Ariel knew that the old lady had a good relationship with Zhou Qiao and the others and was a regular client of Iris Clinic, so she recommended a Taser gun that was currently on sale to her!
It is a former police equipment, but now it has gone out of the restricted area. Ordinary residents can also buy it, but it can only be used for self-defense.
Equipped with a laser sight, it's not expensive, about $1,000.
Of course, just like ordinary pistols, the necessary procedures still need to be completed.
…
"Qiao, what is this?" Ava saw Zhou Qiao moving the instrument to the general clinic and placing it in the corner, so she got closer.
Before Zhou Qiao could answer, she sharply saw the words on the nameplate of the instrument!
"Pulse electric shock physiotherapy device?" Ava couldn't help but read it out, and then asked in great surprise, "Qiao, why did you buy this?"
"It's needed for medical treatment!" Zhou Qiao also bought electric shock equipment, but it was not a robbery, but an instrument. He said while playing with the instruments.
Ava glanced back and saw that no one was paying attention. She couldn't help but move closer to Zhou Qiao and whispered, "This electric shock should be very exciting, right?"
Zhou Qiao: "Don't make trouble. There are serious medical equipment!" This is not some kind of supplies, right? Thinking too much!
Seeing Ava's unbelieving expression, Zhou Qiao explained: "This is for physical therapy for Sophia. Well, it is a better way to treat bipolar disorder. Electroconvulsive therapy, also called electroconvulsive therapy !”
Ava said: "I want to try it too!"
Zhou Qiao glared at her: "The side effect is that you may lose your memory!"
"Forget it!" When Ava thought about it, she was so shocked that she twitched all over. Well, that's nothing. The key is that when she wakes up, she doesn't recognize anyone. That's really a tragedy in the world!
Of course, Zhou Qiao was trying to scare her. As long as the operation was done well, the chance of amnesia was still relatively small.
Otherwise, if the patient loses his memory, what level would that be? Is that still a master level? It’s almost entry-level!
After a while, Elena came in, saw this thing, and asked: "Qiao, is it in the wrong place? It should be put on our third floor!"
Eyes blinking, full of expectation!
Zhou Qiao patted her head gently: "It's so bad to be overheard!"
Elena then hugged Zhou Qiao: "I am also sick~, let's try this device now!"
Zhou Qiao said: "Okay!" Then he picked up the pulse patch and applied it to her temples on both sides!
"Help~" Elena was so frightened that she ran away.
In fact, how could Ava and Elena not know that this is a medical instrument, they just wanted to tease Zhou Qiao.
After driving away these two seductive and naughty goblins, Zhou Qiao began to concentrate on tossing the instrument and debugging parameters. Once he learns it, he can teach it to Ava.
In fact, Zhou Qiao's master medical kit contains similar knowledge, but the specific parameters must be set according to the patient's condition. At the same time, electric shock cannot be used alone. If it is used together with drugs, the effect will be better.
It is an improved version of electroconvulsive therapy.
Because direct electric convulsion will be more painful. After improvement, the experience will be even better!
Zhou Qiao chose a muscle relaxant and could give it to Sophia to try when she comes for follow-up consultation. It should be able to effectively relieve the discomfort during the electric shock.
Sophia came in the afternoon.
She couldn't help but eat and drink again at noon, which caused negative emotions such as regret and blame, and further evolved into irritability and depression. She knew that overeating was not good, but she couldn't control it.
After losing control, it causes psychological pressure and bipolar disorder comes!
Bipolar disorder is coming, and if it is not controlled well, it will be resolved by overeating! An endless loop! Vicious cycle!
Therefore, Sophia felt something was wrong with herself, so she hurriedly came to seek help from Zhou Qiao.
Although she didn't have an appointment, it was considered an emergency, so Zhou Qiao received her.
When she came up, she was given a shot of muscle relaxant and then given an electric shock!
Of course, it's not rough, but rather gentle. Let her lie on the examination bed, put on the conductive patch, turn on the instrument, and wait until the pulse starts, it becomes... extremely exciting!
Ava and Elena heard the news and quickly ran in to watch.
As nurses, they need to assist doctors in treating patients. Well, that’s what their job requires!
Seeing Sofia rolling her eyes, twitching from the electric shock, her hands and feet shaking wildly, for some reason, the two women looked at each other and suddenly had the same idea.
This kind of professional instrument is not suitable for use in the boudoir, but there are also those on the market that are specially used to adjust the atmosphere...electric shock supplies!
"Could it be that this is a hint given to us by Qiao?" the two women murmured, laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Qiao turned around and asked.
Elena and Ava shrugged and said in unison: "It's nothing!" They said in their hearts, you will know when you buy it back, and I will give you a surprise then!
"Qiao, please tell me honestly, when Sophia came last time, what methods did you use to give her physical therapy?" Elena remembered what happened last time and asked.
Ava echoed: "Yeah, you didn't buy the electric shock therapy device that time, right?"
Zhou Qiao said: "That's a massage technique, a bit heavy. But the effect is probably not as good as this electric shock!"
Of course, the professional modified version of electroconvulsive therapy is more suitable for Sophia.
Since it was his first time using it, Zhou Qiao did not dare to use it for too long. After only ten minutes, he stopped the instrument and helped Sophia remove the conductive patch.
"Sofia, wake up, how are you?"
Sophia was in a daze, feeling that her soul had drifted into space, wandering in the endless void, and then, a call suddenly sounded in her ears.
So, gradually, Sophia felt that her soul returned to her body, and then she slowly opened her eyes!
A confused look on his face: "Who am I? Where am I?"
"Oops, no, Sofia has lost her memory!" Ava exclaimed.
Zhou Qiao signaled her to stop talking nonsense and hurriedly asked Sophia a few questions. Fortunately, Sophia answered them all after a moment of confusion! No amnesia!
Zhou Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that my skills were not worth mentioning. How could a master-level person cause the patient to lose his memory?
"Sofia, do you remember? You are here for treatment of bipolar disorder, and what I gave you was a modified version of electroconvulsive therapy."
"Ah, I remembered!" Sophia said with surprise on her face.
"Then how do you feel?" Zhou Qiao asked.
Sophia thought about it seriously and said: "It's hard to describe that feeling. It's like... just like... floating on the sea, drifting with the current. After a while, it seems like flying into space and walking on the moon. No, it's Lying and drifting, all in all, very wonderful!”
Zhou Qiao asked: "Then do you still feel guilty, self-blame, want to get angry, or feel depressed?"
Sophia thought carefully for a moment, then raised her head and said: "Not for the time being. Hmm. I don't want to go to eat or drink. However, I can't guarantee whether it will relapse."
Zhou Qiao smiled and said: "A three-foot-long freeze is not a day's cold. You need to take your time with this disease. Let's do this. In the past period of time, in addition to taking medicine on time, diet control, and nutritional balance control, you have to come to me every three days." Give an electric shock here, wait for a while, and then reduce the frequency according to the effect, what do you think?"
"Okay, okay, I think it's good! Thank you, Dr. Zhou!" Sophia stood up and got out of bed, staggering and almost falling. Because my legs were weakened by the electricity!
Ava and Elena snickered, feeling that this scene seemed familiar!
Zhou Qiao felt that this electroconvulsive therapy was quite effective, and it seemed that even psychological counseling could be omitted. Of course, some psychological counseling techniques are also included in the usual consultation and communication. If necessary, psychological counseling can also be appropriately strengthened.
For bipolar disorder and bipolar disorder, drugs and electroshock therapy are used. As for bulimia nervosa, Zhou Qiao's treatment plan for Sophia is mainly to correct nutritional status, control overeating behavior, break the vicious cycle, and establish normal eating behavior. For example, according to the plan, the daily meal amount and frequency are specified and strictly implemented.
The drugs are mainly antidepressants, including serotonin reuptake inhibitors, tricyclics, etc. Fluoxetine is more effective in patients with binge eating and mood disorders.
