"Nana, just listen to this ti, okay?" the patient's boyfriend also tried to persuade.
This ti, the patient remained silent, but her facial expression didn't look great. She occasionally furrowed her brows, probably pondering over it.
Liu Banxia didn't dare to rush her; urging might actually make her leave.
"I still want to go ho."
After nearly three full minutes, the patient spoke.
The patient's boyfriend looked helplessly at Liu Banxia, who could only return a look of resignation.
He's just a doctor, and the patient doesn't owe the hospital any money, so he has no reason to keep her here. The guy is rely the patient's boyfriend, not her husband, so he must respect the patient's own wishes.
"Are you really sure about this? Not considering him a bit?" Liu Banxia asked.
"But I really don't have any issue now. It's not like I faint often. After going ho, I'll exercise regularly, avoid staying up late, eat more fruits and vegetables, and get more sunlight," the patient said.
Liu Banxia was amused, "It's not due to a lack of trace elents or lack of exercise that you're fainting. It's because we haven't yet identified the cause."
"You could beco very dangerous. Even if you miss it just once, without talking about life and death, you might scrape your face. Even if it heals, it would take quite a long ti."
"Anyway, I just can't stay here any longer," the patient muttered.
Liu Banxia slightly furrowed his brows, feeling a bit irritated inside.
He had encountered those who didn't want to be checked before, but he had already explained things so thoroughly, why is she still not responding one bit?
"Nana, you stay here for now, and I'll have a word with Dr. Liu," the patient's boyfriend said at this mont.
The patient nodded, and Liu Banxia accompanied the young man outside.
"I can't do much more; just sign a waiver agreent and then you can be discharged," Liu Banxia said.
"Dr. Liu, do you think there's a high chance of ningitis or Moyamoya disease?" the young man asked.
"The likelihood isn't very high, so her condition is quite troubling for ," Liu Banxia said.
"If it were ningitis or a teratoma, there would generally be other symptoms present. It's difficult to diagnose sotis because other obvious symptoms can be misleading."
"Moyamoya disease affects cerebral blood supply. It can cause various symptoms such as numb extremities, hemiplegia, visual impairnt, fainting, etc."
"I'm not trying to scare her, it's just that fainting should be present in many diseases, with the most peculiar being fainting syndro."
"Simple syncope is common in clinical settings, like when frightened, high temperatures, rapid environntal changes, fatigue, etc. And then there's postural syncope, like suddenly standing up after squatting or sitting up abruptly."
"Then there's the possibility of a cardiac cause too. Whatever it is, it's mostly due to cerebral blood supply issues. But before fainting, there's usually so distinct sensation."
"There's another possibility which is neurological. I once had a patient with transient syncope. But that's special too; the patient didn't even realize they fainted, and it was very brief."
"As for your girlfriend's scenario, even if you don't trust our diagnostics, larger and more reputed hospitals would still need to eliminate possibilities step by step."
"If it really is simple syncope, we can conduct so experints to try and simulate conditions that might trigger the fainting for verification. This condition is tricky to treat, you can only adjust reasonably and administer vasodilators."
The young man furrowed his brows, hesitated for a mont, "Dr. Liu, do you think there's a chance that Nana might be faking it to be sick?"
"What?" Liu Banxia's voice involuntarily raised a bit.
"No way, how could anyone joke about this? Are you guys having a fight? You mustn't say things like that," Liu Banxia said, lowering his voice.
The young man scratched his scalp, "Actually, I don't really know either, but Nana usually behaves normally, just occasionally acts childishly."
"And... also, it's like this... I tend to like taking care of people. Don't misunderstand, I'm not pathologically inclined to care for people; I'm not neurotic or abnormal."
"I genuinely like Nana. I feel I should do everything for her that I can. When she's unwell, I tend to care for her ticulously. That's the gist of it."
"But I don't know if Nana likes it this way, so every now and then she acts sick. It's just that these past months it's happened more frequently; it wasn't like this before."
His words made Liu Banxia's mind buzz with irritation. If they really are like what he describes, he would genuinely recomnd they both see a psychologist to sort out their inner feelings.
"Dr. Liu, do you think... it's possible?" The young man asked hesitantly once more.
Liu Banxia gave him a resigned look, "How would I know? This is sothing I think you should talk about after discharge."
"And regarding your concerns, you believe you're not pathologically attached, I agree; it's an expression of care for your girlfriend. I take care of my wife in a similar manner but not quite as extre."
"You also need to be mindful; caring can happen, asking about her wellbeing, being considerate, but there needs to be moderation. Otherwise, things can get easily muddled."
"Let ask you this, have you thought before that if you can ticulously care for her every day, it truly manifests your love for her?"
The young man hesitated for a mont and then nodded.
"Brother, this issue needs to be addressed," Liu Banxia said.
"Judging by your attire, even though I don't know the nas, we have a few at ho, mostly real brands, even top-tier ones; your family's financial condition must be decent."
"But now you need to adjust your ntality unless you don't want to marry Nana in the future, don't want children with her, that's crucial."
"Dr. Liu, why is that? I want to marry Nana, but Nana hasn't accepted my proposal yet, it must be because I haven't put in enough effort," the young man said.
"Silly boy, tell , if you two get married and have children, can you continue taking care of Nana the sa way?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Would you only care for your wife, neglecting your children? Nana would be unhappy. If you care for the children, you definitely will overlook Nana in so respects; Nana will still be unhappy."
"Isn't this a terrifying issue? You like caring for Nana, that's fine. But you can't let Nana beco reliant on your care; even if there's reliance, it should be minimal, not excessive."
"Truly, when living daily life, flawless care isn't possible; there will always be so slight inadequacies, and that's the essence of real life."
"Put it this way, without valleys, where are the peaks? You've reached the pinnacle of caring for Nana. Will you be able to go beyond this for the next decades?"
"If Nana has beco dependent on you to this extent, how will she live her life in the future? Where's the joy of life? Her joy actually rests on you entirely."
"Dr. Liu, isn't it supposed to be about wholehearted care?" the young man, furrowing his brows, asked.
"Wholehearted care is correct," Liu Banxia said with a laugh.
"But it's not even wholehearted anymore, it's a PLUS version. Following would be various PRO, MAX versions, and then? You must always leave yourself room to grow."
"Take this situation today; neither you nor I can judge if Nana is truly sick. Even if you wanted to study dicine now, it's a bit too late, right? What about going forward?"
"Think about this yourself, whether it's the issue. Advancing is necessary; without advancent, there's regression. Have Nana sign the waiver agreent herself, she's the one involved."
"I just feel that if you bring out even half of your care, it would suffice; staying here overnight has already left many other n without a path to walk."
"Good looks, wealth, and caring abilities, do you leave room for us to live? Why make life tough for fellow n? Isn't that reasonable?"
Upon hearing Liu Banxia's praise, the young man shyly laughed.
"Rember, you genuinely an well for Nana, so I'm telling you this. Whatever thod you use, ask when you get back. Otherwise, there'll be no peace at heart, right? What if there really are so issues?" Liu Banxia continued.
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Liu," the young man said.
Liu Banxia nodded, motioning Weiwei to prepare the waiver agreent.
Despite having just said so much, it was truly exhausting. He never imagined that in his dical career, he would encounter such a patient.
This isn't just mischief anymore; it's nonsense and absurdity.
He's not a serious psychologist, but if this couple is truly as described, there's definitely so psychological abnormality that requires a psychologist intervention.
However, you can't directly tell them; it must be gradually infiltrated.
Ask anyone with psychological issues, and they won't admit it. Moreover, he lacks expertise in this area and cannot provide appropriate advice and guidance.
ntal health is vital; without adjustnt, the future outco might not be positive. If pathological psychology is not guided, it will intensify, ultimately spiraling out of control.
