Following Tyros, Xia Xu suddenly asked inexplicably.
"Oh? Why does Mr. Xia ask that?"
Tyros still looked serious on the surface, with nothing out of the ordinary. He even had a bit of humor occasionally. I don't know if it was to attract attention, but he acted very talkative all the way.
"I see that many of your patients are quite fat."
Xia Xu watched from a distance as several patients in striped hospital clothes left accompanied by medical staff.
Probably also influenced by the hint of the term 'giant', he now seems to be particularly sensitive to body size.
The two of them were walking through a lawn square used for patient activities, and from time to time they would encounter some patients, and these people seemed to be more or less obese.
Especially the one who was just pushed by the medical staff in a wheelchair in the hospital corridor next to the playground. The whole thing is a pile of tire rings. His thighs are thicker than an ordinary person's waist, and they are all covered with circles of fat. Some are even
It can hang down from the thigh to the calf like a bag.
When you are fat to this extent, you have basically completely lost your ability to move and take care of yourself. In European and American countries with extremely unbalanced diets, you can occasionally see two people in the news.
As for Xia Guo, to be honest, it is quite difficult to get fat to this extent even if you deliberately want to.
"Modern people's diet is inherently unbalanced, and patients don't know how to exercise restraint. Various mental illnesses such as depression may lead to overeating tendencies."
Talos's explanation was impeccable, and he knew the reason why Xia Xu asked this question: "The person just now suffered from severe depression. Because he suffered some kind of blow, he locked himself in the house for a long time and overeated. In the end,
He is so fat that he has completely lost the ability to move and may even be in danger of his life. This time he was sent to us for psychological treatment first."
"I see."
Xia Xu nodded slightly and did not dwell on this topic. Instead, he took the initiative to move forward.
Tyros followed suit and led the way, quickly taking Xia Xu to a ward.
"This is……"
Xia Xu looked at the scene in the ward with a strange expression.
Gardner Mental Hospital should be a high-end private hospital. All wards are single rooms, and even the decoration style is closer to a home bedroom or hotel room, with its own bathroom.
At this time, in the bathroom on the left side of the door, a middle-aged man wearing the same striped hospital clothes as the patients outside, who looked handsome and elegant but had dull eyes, was squatting next to the bathtub.
The middle-aged man didn't seem to notice Xia Xu and the others coming in at all. He just squatted next to the filled bathtub, staring directly at the water.
Probably due to the vibration caused by just closing the door, weak ripples appeared on the water surface of the bathtub, causing the sky blue plastic washbasin and white plastic water cup floating on it to sway gently.
"This is Mr. Cui Xinghua Cui."
Tyros introduced.
"What is he doing?"
Xia Xu tried to get closer and came up to Cui Xinghua's back, but the other party still turned a deaf ear and did not respond at all. He could only look sideways at Telos.
"He is diagnosing whether his mental illness has improved."
Tyros seems to have a very common appearance.
“Diagnose yourself?”
Xia Xu looked even weirder when he heard this.
"Yes, he seems to have been a doctor once."
Tyros nodded slightly, then shrugged: "Although he is not a psychiatrist."
"Then what's his diagnosis?"
Xia Xu was speechless.
"The bathtub is filled with water, and his wash basin and mouthwash cup are placed in it. Test how you can empty the water in the bathtub."
Tyros explained calmly.
"Do normal people use a washbasin?"
Xia Xu asked.
Tyros said seriously: "No, a normal person would pull out the plug in the bathtub."
Xia Xu: "..."
"Is this just a brainteaser?"
Xia Xu was speechless and said: "And isn't this a method he came up with on his own? Does he already know the correct answer, or is he testing himself? Will this be useful?"
"Yes, he knows the answer, so he makes the right choice every time."
Telos nodded in agreement and added: "But he still insists on doubting whether he is mentally ill."
"Isn't this behavior already a mental illness?"
Xia Xu felt a little happy.
"Yes, so he is a mental patient."
Tyros slightly nodded his head again and said: "Whenever he no longer doubts and does this kind of behavior, maybe he will be cured."
"So this kind of self-diagnosis is actually effective?"
Xia Xu was slightly stunned.
Then he thought about it, isn't this an effective diagnosis? When he no longer has doubts, he will naturally know that he is not sick.
"To a certain extent, it does work."
Tyros nodded again.
"Then is he mentally ill?"
Xia Xu felt like he was a little dizzy.
Such philosophical questions cannot be clarified by a good brain.
"of course."
Tyros is certain.
"Can a mentally ill person still be sober enough to think of such a good way to diagnose his condition?"
Xia Xu raised his eyebrows slightly in disagreement.
"Of course, that's exactly what psychopaths do."
Tyros nodded firmly.
"Then how do normal people behave?"
Xia Xu said unexpectedly.
"Let me diagnose."
Tyros pointed at himself seriously: "Otherwise, why would you need me, the attending doctor?"
Xia Xu: "..."
"Compared to you, a shady doctor who doesn't know whether he is a surgeon or not, I think Cui Xinghua's own diagnosis is more reliable."
Xia Xu cursed in his heart.
Of course, these words were not spoken.
He fell silent and seemed to be sizing up Cui Xinghua, which was actually the case, but what he was looking at was his attribute panel.
Forget about spiritual philosophy and the like, the attribute panel is simpler and more reliable.
【Name】: Cui Xinghua
【Life Level】:1
[Fate Potential]: [Supporting Role: "Giant"]
[Talent potential]: Surgical skills (5 stars)
【Special】: None
[Obsession]: Death of the patient, healing hands
【Favorability】:0
Five stars!
Surgery!
Seeing this, Xia Xu was immediately overjoyed, and his eyes immediately focused on the bright talent entry.
But then he frowned slightly.
Five-star surgical skills are true, but Cui Xinghua's condition makes him a little unsure.
Cui Xinghua is not the protagonist of the plot, but a supporting role. He and Tyros alone are not enough to unlock the plot synopsis of "Giant".
As for obsession, according to the information learned from the special department, Cui Xinghua encountered medical trouble because an operation failed and the patient died.
In the end, due to a medical incident, his hands were damaged and he could no longer perform delicate surgical operations. His career was ruined, and he couldn't bear the blow and was admitted to a mental hospital.
In this case, it is normal to be obsessed with the death of the patient and the healing hands. This is the main cause of the disease, and it is impossible to forget it even if you are really crazy.
But in this way, it is completely impossible to confirm his current mental state through the attribute panel, and the only one who can place hope is his supporting character's destiny.
Usually small characters or background-like passers-by will not show the supporting character's destiny. If there is a supporting character's destiny, it proves that they have a certain role in a certain plot.
Since he can become a supporting character and participate in the plot, his mind should usually be sober, and he may be pretending to be crazy.
But this is not absolute, because there are many crazy characters in various plots.
For example, someone who is crazy and reveals some important information, someone who is half-mad and half-sane and acts as an outsider at a critical moment, someone who has a powerful past but falls into madness and waits for the protagonist to ask for help and finally finds a way to wake him up...
There are not too many similar settings, and there is no need to talk about those false ones. Now the chief biological expert under his command, Gu Haiming, plays a similar role in the plot of "Batman".
Combined with Cui Xinghua's current actions and Tyros's remarks just now that almost got him involved, Xia Xu now has to accept a reality - Cui Xinghua may really be crazy.
