Li Dai seemed very calm on the surface. Although he didn’t know how effective the upgraded rehabilitation massage would be for Helheim, he was certain that the rehabilitation massage would definitely be better than Helheim’s natural massage. The speed is much faster.
"Mr. Helheim, I'm going to massage your arms. Please relax." Li Dai said while putting on special rubber gloves.
Next to him, Professor Nelson shook his head helplessly. He felt that Dai Li was just doing useless work, something that even rehabilitation experts in Europe could not figure out. How could this kind of muscle massage be effective
Corinna asked: "Professor Nelson, what is the epilepsy that Coach Li just mentioned?"
Nelson then remembered this serious matter and said, "This is also the purpose of my visit today. Epilepsy is a chronic recurrent transient brain dysfunction syndrome. It is characterized by repeated epileptic seizures caused by abnormal discharge of brain neurons. It is also one of the most common diseases of the nervous system. According to the latest examination results, Mr. Helheim has suffered from early-stage epilepsy."
"Why is this happening? Didn't it mean that he was recovering?" Corinna asked.
Nelson immediately explained: "Acquired brain injury is one of the causes of epilepsy. After brain surgery, the nervous system will inevitably encounter inflammation, including central nervous system bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. , spirochetal infection, and neurological complications of AIDS, etc., and if the brain is deprived of oxygen, it can also cause myoclonic epileptic seizures."
"In other words, my situation has become more complicated now?" Helheim asked while lying on the hospital bed.
"Yes." Nelson nodded: "But you don't have to worry. You are only in the early stages of epilepsy, and many symptoms will not be obvious. We can control the onset of epilepsy symptoms through drugs..."
Nelson began to introduce it eloquently, almost turning an explanation of epilepsy into a university lecture.
Foreign doctors are still very good at explaining the conditions to patients. Unlike domestic doctors, they have to see hundreds of patients a day. In a country like Switzerland, which ranks among the top in medical standards in the world, a doctor sees ten patients a day. You can already be regarded as a model worker.
Nelson, a world-class authoritative expert, charges relatively high fees. Those who can ask him to see a doctor are either rich or expensive. Under normal circumstances, he only makes appointments for one or two patients a day, so he naturally wants to explain his condition. It is detailed in detail, from the pathogenesis to the symptoms of the disease, and then lists several treatment methods, clearly introducing the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment method, and then asking the patient which treatment method you want to choose.
When the patient says he chooses Plan A for treatment, he will compare Plan A with Plans B, C, D, etc., and then suggest the most suitable Plan D to the patient. Finally, he has to add, "I am just suggesting, the final decision remains. In your hands”.
If this were done in China, doctors would never waste so much saliva and directly choose Plan D. Then they might not even explain the treatment method clearly to the patient and their family members, but just tell him that the disease needs to be treated in this way and hurry up to the cashier to pay the money. .
Nelson kept talking for a long time. Not only Helheim and Corinna were said to be confused, but also Claude, a physical trainer with some superficial research on medicine, looked confused. . As for Dai Li, he didn’t even listen to what Nelson said. There were a lot of medical terms. For Li Dai, he had to look them up in the dictionary one by one to find out what Nelson said.
Foreign doctors respect the patient's right to know. Unless there are special circumstances, they will tell the patient the condition in detail. It is not possible to say whether this method is correct, nor can it be judged by the standard of good or bad. The key lies in the patient's tolerance.
For example, when facing a patient with terminal cancer, domestic doctors often tell their family members about the condition first, rather than telling the patient himself. They are worried that the patient will not be able to bear it psychologically and will live in pain for the last part of his life. Foreign doctors believe that patients should be told the truth about their condition, so that patients can cherish their last moments and fulfill some of their unfulfilled wishes.
And those patients who are more open-minded will indeed use the last time of their lives to fulfill their wishes. For example, it will always appear in the news that someone is terminally ill and then sells his house and car to travel around the world. Those are basically They are all foreigners.
If patients are unable to look away and know that they will not live long, the fear of death will cause their mentality to collapse. Some people will even resort to suicide to end their lives early. This kind of thing always appears in the domestic news. A patient jumped off a building in a certain hospital. Many of the patients were terminally ill and could not face death calmly. Then they went to extremes and died in the hospital. Their families You can also extort money from the hospital.
After experiencing a serious injury, Helheim was obviously not the kind of person who could be very open-minded. After learning the details of his condition, his expression instantly became depressed. He felt that he was one step further away from physical recovery. .
"My health is getting worse. Now I have another epilepsy. Maybe I really can't get better." Helheim couldn't help but look at Li Dai who was giving him a massage, recalling Li Dai in his mind. What I said before made me sigh with mixed emotions: "How could a miracle happen so easily!"
Disappointment enveloped Helheim's heart. At this time, he only felt that the world had become gray again.
"It's useless. I'm already like this. Brain surgery, nerve damage, and now epilepsy. How can this kind of muscle massage alone be useful? It's just useless now." Helheim's heart rose. Feeling a trace of despair, he opened his mouth, intending to ask Dai Li to stop doing such futile things.
Helheim was ready to give up.
"Coach Li..." Helheim opened his mouth and a weak voice sounded. However, at this second, a feeling of pain suddenly came from his arm.
Helheim grinned involuntarily, but an inexplicable joy suddenly emerged in his mood. For him, this was really a long-lost pain.
Since the brain surgery, Helheim has been unable to control the four flexible movements of his arms as usual. Sometimes he can't even feel the existence of his arms. He even has the illusion that the two arms are not at the same time. It doesn't grow on one's body. Even his perception of pain was no longer so sensitive.
However, the pain he felt now made his somewhat muddled mind wake up instantly. He felt that his arms were back on his body again. The numb feeling gradually disappeared and was replaced by the clear pain. , and this kind of pain is a more vivid and flesh-and-blood experience.
An inexplicable picture appeared in Helheim's mind. In an empty black land, dark clouds were covered, full of desolation and silence. Suddenly, a ray of sunlight penetrated the dark clouds and shone on the ground, where a A seedling suddenly broke out of the ground, and the emerald green exuded emerald light in the sun. It was the color that represented life and was full of hope.
"Mr. Helheim, were you calling me just now?" Dai Li's voice sounded, bringing Helheim's thoughts back to reality.
"Nothing..." Helheim shook his head hesitantly, and his subconscious suddenly told himself that maybe he should give Dai Li a chance, and also give himself a chance.
"It will be fine soon, you don't have to worry." Dai Li then explained: "Occasionally there may be some pain. This is a normal reaction."
"I can bear it." Helheim gave Li Dai a trusting look.
Next to him, Nelson shook his head disdainfully. In his opinion, this was a complete waste of time. Instead of doing this meaningless massage here, it would be better to spend some time and listen to him explain in detail the follow-up rehabilitation methods for epilepsy.
"Mrs. Helheim, if you don't have any questions, I will go back first." Nelson bowed slightly. He did not intend to spend any more time here.
"Thank you very much, Professor Nelson. If I have any questions, I will call you!" Editor Corinna sent Nelson back.
"Then I'll take my leave," Nelson said, turning to leave the room.
At this time, Dai Li also finished the massage and stopped with his hands.
"Mr. Helheim, you can try moving your arms and see what the difference is." Dai Li said.
"It's just a muscle massage, what difference can it make?" Nelson thought to himself. He had already walked to the door and opened it...
…
On the hospital bed, Helheim was half-lying on the hospital bed, staring at his arm that had just been massaged.
At this time, Helheim actually felt a little nervous. He had a hunch that his situation had improved, but he was also worried. The fact was exactly the opposite of his hunch.
Helheim took a deep breath and began to raise his arms.
"Hey!" Helheim suddenly discovered that the height of his arm was raised much higher than before. Previously, Helheim could raise his arm at most thirty degrees, but now, he has raised it to sixty degrees.
Then, he tried to move his fingers...
…
"Oh, ow!" Claude cheered.
"Ah! Oh my god!" Corinna also exclaimed, her voice filled with joy from the bottom of her heart.
At this time, Nelson had already stepped out of the door frame of the ward with one foot, but the exclamation made him stop again.
Nelson turned around and saw Claude clenching his fists and waving them at his chest, while Corinna covered her mouth, but her eyes could not suppress the light of surprise.
"What happened?" Nelson's mind was full of doubts, and then he looked at Helheim on the hospital bed.
Helheim's left arm was raised high, and his hand made a clenching gesture.
"God, this is impossible!" Nelson was stunned on the spot.
