Western medicine is indeed ahead of traditional Chinese medicine when it comes to drug issues. Although traditional Chinese medicine has records about opium poppy in historical classics, and has also described similar addictions, these are very incomplete and do not have specific treatments.
Means.
Jones' suspicion of Lin Yuan is not due to ideological discrimination, but due to professional suspicion.
For colleagues who are skeptical, Lin Yuan should treat them on a case-by-case basis. Lin Yuan will resolutely resist those who make wild claims and say that traditional Chinese medicine is not effective without any investigation.
Lin Yuan is open-minded and even welcomes those who question traditional Chinese medicine through arguments and facts.
Because with the basis of facts, debates and disputes are all based on facts and belong to the academic category. Without fact investigation, just beating them to death with a stick is just a bunch of dogs barking at the sun, and arguing with them is in vain.
Waste of time.
Jones was very cautious and did not voice his doubts, but asked what treatment methods were available. This person should be a person with a very rigorous academic attitude.
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Dr. Jones, you are an expert in anesthesia. I think you know much better than me about the addictive nature of drugs. Drugs make people feel happy, and their mechanism is to stimulate the body to produce endorphins.
, and this substance is produced by the human body through a series of complex reaction mechanisms when the human body feels various kinds of happiness."
As an expert in anesthesia, Jones certainly knows the general mechanism of drugs' effects on the human body. It is precisely because drugs directly stimulate the ultimate reaction center of the human brain that the damage caused by drugs is irreversible.
Humanity has invested a lot of money in research on drug addiction, hoping to find ways to curb drug addiction, but has always had little effect.
Lin Yuan said that he could restore little Rudolph, but Jones did not trust him.
"Dr. Lin, I understand all these principles. What I want to hear is the method. If you have a treatment plan, maybe I can provide you with some suggestions and help you make an effective supplement."
Jones' tone was a bit unfriendly, but Lin Yuan preferred the straightforward character of Europeans and Americans. Those who can express their thoughts in this way will not be crooked, nor will they plot with you or stab you in the back.
"Haha, Doctor Jones, let's not talk about the plan for now. Don't you want to know how little Rudolph ended up like this step by step?"
Jones was at a loss for words. He was indeed confused. Little Rudolph had been taking large doses of morphine-containing drugs for more than half a year now. The symptoms of drug addiction should have appeared long ago. Why did he only show a little dependence now?
Lin Yuan said just now that the person controlling all this is a master, and there will be people who continue to use medicine on little Rudolph. Is this all what Lin Yuan expected?
Jones is a cautious person. He said: "Dr. Lin, I am very interested in your question. Let's start with the things that little Rudolph comes into contact with every day and see if there are any clues?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said nothing, but looked at Hurley.
Hurley stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you two to see all the living conditions of little Rudolph."
Little Rudolph lived in the Fengyun Casino. The top two floors of the Fengyun Casino were the private residences of the Hurley family. Little Rudolph occupied one of the large rooms.
Those who served little Rudolf were completely under control, and the huge room looked like it had just been half tidied.
The focus of the search was the things that little Rudolph would eat every day.
Food, medicine, this is the top priority.
All things of this kind were collected, and all were taken away by Jones, and analyzed under the supervision of men sent by Hurley.
After about half a day, Jones arrived at Hurley in person.
"Mr. Hurley and Dr. Lin found morphine-like drugs in the medicines taken by little Rudolph. However, the dosage is very light. If it is taken occasionally, it will not cause dependence. But if it is taken for a long time,
, dependence will appear. Combined with Little Rudolph’s condition, now, I agree with Dr. Lin’s analysis, Little Rudolph is a symptom of drug addiction.”
At this time, Hurley understood. Although he was not an expert in this field, he knew that drugs can make people feel euphoric. However, after the euphoria, there is the most violent backlash of drugs.
Inability to concentrate, hallucinations, irritability, trembling, anorexia, and diarrhea are all symptoms that little Rudolph often suffers from.
Who would have thought that little Rudolph would become addicted to drugs?
Hurley suddenly seemed to have aged more than ten years. He had imagined that this was Lin Yuan's misdiagnosis and that little Rudolph had another disease.
Now, Jones has determined that everything is beyond doubt.
"Dai, please entertain Dr. Lin and Dr. Jones. I want to rest for a while."
Devin wanted to persuade him, but seeing Hurley's painful expression, he knew it was useless to say anything now, so he took Lin Yuan and Jones to the reception room on the side, served them coffee and tea, and entertained them.
"Lin Yuan, what will happen to little Rudolph's condition?" Dai Wenli asked.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and did not answer directly. Instead, he smiled at Jones and said, "Dr. Jones, you are an expert in this field. Please tell Mr. Dai what's going on with little Rudolph."
Jones pondered for a moment and said: "I really don't have a good solution for this. Generally speaking, people who are addicted to drugs have to go to compulsory drug detoxification institutions for forced detoxification. The so-called detoxification based on people's willpower is simply a fantasy. Xiao
The key for Rudolph is that he is too young and too strong, which may have a great impact on his psychology."
"Haha, Doctor Jones, you are right. Little Rudolph's drug addiction has just formed. For adults, it is enough to force treatment for a period of time. But for little Rudolph, you cannot force treatment. Don't think about him.
Law."
"Other methods? Doctor Lin, with all due respect, drug addiction targets the reflex center of the brain. Without the supply of drugs, it will make people feel very painful. A child like little Rudolph simply cannot bear that.
of pain.”
"This is certain. The human body is a very magical body. No matter how much pleasure it produces, it must pay a price. Even if it is passive pleasure, it must pay an equivalent price of pain. No one can change this.
"
Jones' eyes changed from doubt to slight appreciation. He agreed very much with Lin Yuan's words. The reason why people are obsessed with drugs is because using drugs can make people feel a sense of happiness.
Feel.
And this sense of happiness is, to put it bluntly, a complex physiological and chemical process. When the human body is stimulated by external information, it will release a variety of different chemicals, such as endorphins. Studies have found that the human body gains a sense of happiness.
When, this substance will be produced.
This is originally a physiological change produced by a living body in response to stimulation, but drugs change everything. Drugs can stimulate the corresponding response center of the cerebral cortex and stimulate the production of endorphins.
If things go on like this, the body's own response mechanism will be destroyed, and it can only rely on drugs to promote the production of endorphins, which will produce a series of physiological disorders.
This process is a serious damage to the normal response function of the body caused by drugs, which is almost irreversible. Only by forcibly getting rid of drugs and carrying out forced recovery can certain results be achieved.
It should be particularly emphasized that this compulsory treatment can only have a certain recovery effect. In fact, a large part of the addicts who undergo compulsory treatment are drug addicts. Once drug addiction is formed, it is very difficult to cure.
What Lin Yuan said about paying an equal price in pain is a very vivid illustration of the impact of drugs on the human body.
"Dr. Lin, if you have any ideas, can you tell me about it?"
"Long-term treatment will take effect slowly. Any attempt to cure the disease completely in a short period of time is not advisable."
"Yes, long-term treatment, slow effects, cough, drugs, really harmful. I don't know who did this to such a child. This guy should be shot directly! Dr. Lin, do you have any specific treatment plan?"
"Haha, Doctor Jones, I was still a little hesitant about controlling little Rudolph's drug addiction. Now that I see you, I have some ideas. You see, little Rudolph's drug addiction has just formed, and now it suddenly stops completely.
If you take it off, the child won’t be able to bear it either. You are an expert in this field, can you slowly reduce the dosage of the medicine?”
After hearing this, Jones fell silent. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Dr. Lin, you mean to give him morphine-like drugs, but only reduce the dose little by little, and finally achieve complete relief.
Bar?"
"Well, that's what I mean. The child is too young and forced treatment will have serious side effects. We must consider the child's future."
"Dr. Lin, I have the same idea as you. However, to receive treatment, you have to endure tremendous physical and mental pain. No one can change this. In any case, we cannot avoid this obstacle."
Many people may not have experienced the feeling of drug addiction. But according to the experience of drug addicts, the feeling is as uncomfortable as thousands of ants eating away at the heart. Sometimes, one wishes to take a piece of flesh off his body to relieve the pain.
The unpleasant taste.
"That's why I will ask you to help me reduce the use of morphine a little bit. I will use acupuncture and drugs to put little Rudolph in a hibernation-like state, so that he can suffer less."
"What?" Jones felt for a moment that there was something wrong with his ears, and he was in a hibernation-like state. This could be done with medication, but then it would be difficult for the body to recover.
