The Third Mental Illness Rehabilitation Center was built 23 years ago and is one of the earliest private mental illness treatment institutions in Hanjiang.
As can be seen from the name, they are not a formal mental illness hospital, but a rehabilitation center.
There are three wards in the rehabilitation center. The fees in the first ward are much cheaper than those in regular hospitals, but the accommodation environment is extremely poor.
The charges in the second ward are one-fifth higher than those in regular hospitals, and are equipped with dedicated nursing staff and doctors on duty.
The third ward is designed to serve a small number of patients, and the charges are extremely high, several times that of the ordinary ward.
It can be seen from the notes left by the director that the rehabilitation center was completely different when it was first established than it was later. At that time, the third ward was not only not a closed area, but also the place with the highest fees and the best environment in the entire rehabilitation center.
After operating like this for about three months, the rehabilitation center welcomed a special patient.
The dean recorded the scene in detail. In his mind, that day should be a turning point.
A car with a license plate from another province drove into the hospital, and two men dragged out a delicate-looking pregnant woman from the back seat of the car.
The dean personally received them, and after questioning, he found out that the woman suffered from a serious mental illness.
Out of consideration for the physical safety of pregnant women, the director refused.
The man didn't take it seriously and paid ten times the hospitalization fee of the high-end ward, and told the dean that he would pay half a year's fee in advance at once.
Looking at the cash on the table, the dean and several doctors were a little tempted. After the rehabilitation center started operating, the general wards were overcrowded, but most of the rooms in the third ward were still empty. After all, most patients who are not short of money will still
Choose a regular hospital to receive treatment.
With the doctor's persuasion, the hospital director went through the hospitalization procedures for the pregnant woman and arranged her in Room 3 of the Third Ward.
After confirming that the pregnant woman was safely admitted, the man left his phone number with the doctor and claimed that he was the pregnant woman's husband. However, when the director wanted to see their marriage certificate, the man could not produce it.
After collecting the money, the matter was a foregone conclusion. Even if the dean wanted to regret it, all he could do was take good care of the pregnant woman.
After a doctor's diagnosis, the pregnant woman did suffer from a mental illness, which is a very typical symptom of bipolar disorder. She would never communicate with others, sometimes cry alone, sometimes get angry, smash everything in sight, and even hurt herself.
In order to protect her, the hospital specially wrapped the furniture in Room 3 with thick cotton cloth.
The woman's condition is very unstable, and because she is pregnant with a child, most medicines cannot be used, so the doctor can only give her psychological counseling in shifts.
More than three months passed like this, and as the due date approached, the hospital director hired several nurses to guard the ward around the clock.
I don’t know whether it was because the child was about to be born that awakened the mad woman’s maternal nature, or whether the doctor’s treatment had an effect.
Pregnant women no longer go crazy, and most of the time they don't let anyone get close to them. They just touch their belly and sit alone on a low hospital bed talking to themselves.
Four months later, the baby was born, and the pregnant woman's condition improved significantly.
The director and the doctors at the rehabilitation center were relieved and called the pregnant woman's husband that day. However, they made several calls in a row, but no one answered.
They had a bad feeling and went to check the man's ID card, only to find that all the documents were fake.
After discussing with the doctor, the director and the doctor decided that if the prepaid money was spent and the man had not come over, they would call the police. Considering the woman's condition, they did not tell the woman about this.
The pregnant woman did not know this news. After the child was born, she seemed to have regained hope in life and began to actively cooperate with the treatment. From time to time, she would also take the initiative to ask for information about her husband. She felt that after she recovered, her husband would come to pick her up.
she.
But after waiting for half a year, all the prepaid hospitalization fees were spent, and the man seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again.
Different voices gradually emerged in the hospital. Some doctors and nurses suggested that pregnant women should be sent away. Taking care of one child and one child would be time-consuming and laborious.
The director couldn't bear to say that he had to wait any longer, but the nurse who took care of the woman's daily life accidentally let it slip.
The woman took the initiative to talk to her husband on the phone. There was a cold mechanical voice on the phone, and the number was out of service.
Before sending the woman to a rehabilitation center for treatment, the woman seemed to have reached an agreement with the man. Now that the agreement has been torn up, the situation of the woman who was already ill has become even worse.
She began to be hostile to the people around her, as if she was lost in a dark maze with no way out.
To prevent the sick woman from harming the newborn, the doctor separated her from the baby.
The woman was crazy, unable to communicate, and the baby was still small, so the hospital had no choice but to raise it on her behalf.
They are also actively treating the woman, hoping to get the man's information through the woman so that he can pay for the follow-up treatment and hospitalization expenses.
No one could have imagined that this treatment only lasted three years. The woman's child grew up in a mental hospital and learned to speak and walk in this hospital full of lunatics.
The period from zero to three years old is called the infancy period, which is the most efficient period of learning in a person's life and is also a critical period for forming a basic understanding of things.
It is in this twisted and morbid environment that a woman's child experiences the most important three years.
The money paid in advance has long been spent, and the doctors and nurses are now obliged to take care of them for a day or two. As time goes by, more and more people begin to complain, and the eyes they look at the child become complicated.
The crazy mother lived in the ward. The most common thing the child had done in the past three years was to be picked up by doctors and nurses and follow the window on the door of Ward No. 3 to look at the woman inside through the door panel.
As time passed, after the child learned to walk, he would sometimes run outside Ward 3 by himself and look at the door of the ward that was several times his height.
Day by day, children of the same age are accompanied by their families, and the world is full of color.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The world in this child's eyes is somewhat distorted, with a cold white tone occupying most of the memory. Gradually, he appears to behave differently from ordinary children.
Chen Ge unknowingly turned to the end. The content on the white paper was like the dean's private diary: "This child is more terrifying than what I experienced when I was a child."
He thought that when he was a child, he had gone too far by playing with human head models and taking apart plastic bones, but he didn't expect that there would be someone more miserable than himself.
Putting down the blank paper, Chen Ge looked at the unsent letters.
There is no stamp on the envelope, no signature, and it looks yellowed and worn. It must have been written many years ago and has never been sent.
In chronological order, Chen Ge opened several letters one by one.
The first letter was written twenty years ago, when the woman's child was only two years old.
"Dr. Chen, this is the first time I have seen such a smart child. I can't believe that he can learn everything so quickly."
"Being born in a place ignored by the normal world and living in a morbid environment, should I send him away?"
"This kid will definitely be a genius when he grows up, but his current behavior makes me feel very uneasy."
"Ever since he learned to speak, just like his mother, he always likes to talk to himself. No, it feels more like he is communicating with something we can't see."
"The doctors and nurses on duty are very busy, and no one has taught him how to speak except me, but I can always hear some strange words from his mouth."
"Did he learn it on his own by eavesdropping on conversations between doctors and patients? Or was there something teaching him?"
"I am a materialist, but what happened to this child made me a little shaken. It is said that during infancy, children can see things that adults cannot see. Are these true?"
