It was beyond Tao Le's expectation. The patient in front of me has no other diseases except for the decrease in body resistance caused by excessive fatigue.

His mental health is also completely normal, and his brain is not weak at all.

Tao Le thought for a while, then asked the patient to stretch out his wrist and take his pulse.

The pulse pattern completely confirmed Goldfinger’s diagnosis. There is really nothing wrong with the patient. Logically speaking, he should not have symptoms of insomnia and dreaminess.

But the appearance of the patient in front of him and his nervous expression didn't seem to be fake.

"This is the first time I've seen this kind of problem like yours." Tao Le said truthfully: "Actually, this is not an emergency. Normally you shouldn't come to the emergency room."

"I usually don't have time to queue up for an appointment. The emergency room is faster, so..." the patient explained in a low voice.

This is indeed the mentality of many emergency patients, and Tao Le is too lazy to be harsh.

"Let's do this. I'll take you to the neurology department to see a specialist."

She asked Chang Shengnan to see the patient first, and then led the patient to the neurology department.

Lu Yue, the director of the Department of Neurology, was caught by Tao Le just after returning from ward rounds.

"Hello, Director Lu, I am Tao Le from the emergency center." She introduced herself.

"Teacher Tao." Lu Yue was very magnanimous: "I just finished learning your pulse control and hemostasis technique, and I am a loyal fan of yours - if you have any questions, just ask!"

Tao Le gave way to the patient behind him and briefly introduced the situation.

Hearing that it was such a weird disease, Lu Yue's expression remained unchanged, as if he wasn't surprised at all, which made Tao Le immediately admire him.

As expected, Director Lu is very specialized and well-informed. What we think is unheard of may be something that others have become accustomed to.

"Director Lu, do you think my illness can be saved?" the patient asked anxiously.

"To be honest, this is not the first time I have seen this kind of disease like yours." Lu Yue said.

Tao Le was convinced. It was exactly what he thought. Director Lu had encountered similar patients before!

There is precedent to follow, which is definitely good news for doctors.

It means you can skip a lot of unnecessary attempts and directly apply the correct diagnosis and treatment methods!

When Tao Le was overjoyed, he heard Lu Yue continue to say: "In just the past two days, I have treated two patients with the same condition, and with you, I can make up for three patients."

"Not only that, but in the past few days, many cases have appeared across the country. The situation is exactly the same as what you said."

"Director, do you want to say that this disease has just appeared in the past few days and has never happened before?" Tao Le suddenly understood what she meant and asked.

Lu Yue nodded: "You are right."

Tao Le understood what she meant. Since this is a newly diagnosed disease, everyone is definitely trying to cross the river by feeling the stones, and has not yet formed an effective diagnosis and treatment method.

However, such words are not suitable to be said in front of patients.

"I'll prescribe some medicine first. You can take it when you go back and take a look." Lu Yue quickly typed in the medical record and prescribed the medicine.

Tao Le looked closer and saw several common drugs used to treat mental delusions, and straightened up silently.

"Go and pay for the medicine." Lu Yue handed the prescription to the patient and warned: "During this period, you should get more rest, don't drink alcohol, strong tea and coffee, don't go online, and don't play various games."

"Don't worry, doctor, I don't usually play games." The patient assured and left.

Tao Le did not follow him. She asked: "Director Lu, what do you think of this disease?"

Lu Yue shook his head: "I have also discussed with my colleagues from various places, and everyone generally believes that it is a sequelae of virtual reality games. It is probably because the addiction time is too long, the greater the stimulation to the brain."

"But the patient just now said that he never plays games?" Tao Le asked doubtfully.

"Haha, do you believe it?" Lu Yue smiled and said, "In all the years I have been in Shen Nei, I have met less than half of the patients who don't tell lies."

"So now I only look at the results and trust my own judgment more."

Tao Le understood what she said when he thought about the people that neurology dealt with.

"So you think this patient has a gaming disorder?" When she said this, she suddenly realized it.

Gaming disorder is a condition that results in excessive dependence on games, leading to addiction. That is, in recent years, it has just been included in the list of mental illnesses.

The diseases diagnosed by Golden Finger are all real diseases, and they probably selectively ignore this kind of game addiction.

"It should be a new type of game dependence based on virtual reality games." Lu Yue said: "Technology has changed life, but it can also have adverse effects on some people who are not determined."

"Who says it's not?" Tao Le agreed, feeling relieved that the mystery had been solved.

Ximu was not here, and no matter how sumptuous the hotel dinner was, Tao Le didn't eat much.

She didn't know why, but she had a fulfilling life today, but there was always a feeling of boredom in her heart. Even delicious food couldn't interest her.

Regarding the fact that the ugly cat also disappeared, Tao Le believed that if she asked, Xiao Qi would definitely give a reasonable explanation.

But she didn't want to hear these lies, so she didn't say a word.

After dinner, Tao Le put on VR glasses and entered the long-awaited "Millions of Light Years".

Recently, many people in the hospital were working hard to improve their medical skills, which gave her a sense of crisis.

The only way to relieve worries is to learn.

Tao Le spent a long time improving the emergency surgery to a master level, and then he stopped still.

Then, she suddenly thought of the health-preserving skills that she had acquired long ago and had always been sealed in the game but had not been learned before.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, she chose to learn the basic health-preserving skills.

This is a method of exercising with a unique breathing method and specific movements. It is a bit like the Yi Jin Jing and Tai Chi popular on Blue Star, except that the range and difficulty of the movements are larger.

Tao Le is actually not a person who is good at physical movements. He has never been good at dancing or gymnastics since he was a child. At the beginning of his studies, he was timid.

But I didn't expect that once it was actually done, it would be completely different.

This set of health-building exercises may seem unfamiliar, but it is inexplicably simple to practice.

Tao Le had just adjusted his breathing method and adapted to it, forgetting all about how he breathed before.

The same goes for the movements. Looking at the extremely difficult lower back, with the support of the breathing method, I managed it unconsciously.

In just a short while, she completed the twelve basic health-preserving exercises in conjunction with her breathing.

Tao Yue was still not satisfied and started doing it over and over again from beginning to end.

During this process, there seemed to be little bits of unknown energy flowing along her limbs and into the center of her eyebrows, spinning constantly as she breathed and breathed.

It's like an enlightenment, cool and comfortable. If this is what addiction feels like, let her keep it.
