Chapter 0149 – The Most Dangerous Patient
”The one who lives in Ward 5 is called Xu Tong and suffers from Person Transformation Disorder, known as Fregoli Delusion Syndrome. He believes that everyone around him is actually the same person in disguise, and that he lives in a manipulated world.”
”The patient in Ward 6 is called Han Bao’er, a midnight show host, there’s no picture in the file, but her attending physician wrote this at the end of the case – how much does God want to destroy someone to endow her with such beauty?”
”Han Bao’er was picked up after only two and a half months in a closed ward, and she suffered from a very rare disease – body dysmorphic phobia.”
”She always exaggerated flaws in her appearance, strongly believed that a certain part of her body was unattractive, and was unable to accept any minor defects. She even tried to cut off her own fingers during her hospitalization because she couldn’t get her nails repaired symmetrically.”
”The patient in Ward 7, who did not leave his name, suffered from Kotar Syndrome and believed that his torso and internal organs had changed, claiming that his internal organs had festered and that he felt that he was actually dead. He claimed that he had seen the real world and that the real world we live in doesn’t actually exist.”
”Ward eight has a specially reinforced iron door, and the patient who lives in it is called Xiong Qing, a patient who used to be a doctor in Ward three, and probably because he witnessed too many painfully twisted patients, he suffered from lateral spatial dissonance at the age of thirty.”
”The patient loses the ability to focus equal attention on both sides of a space, and a person suffering from this disease, when he draws a person often leaves one side of the arms and legs undrawn, and when asked about it will say that it looks perfect.”
”The disease isn’t strictly serious, but Xiong Qing is a perfectionist, so when he sees a patient with sound arms and legs, he can’t help but want to correct the change.”
”The one who lives in Ward 9 is called Wu Fei, this patient had not been diagnosed until the hospital was sealed off.”
”Part of the doctors believe that Wu Fei suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome, which in layman’s terms is autism without an intellectual disability, this man has a superb memory, and is capable of more than normal abilities in certain areas, usually he never interacts with people, and it is assumed that he believes that he is surrounded by just a bunch of idiots, including the doctors who are treating him.”
”He once confessed during his treatment that he had done a lot of crazy things, some of which even alarmed the police. Unfortunately, after investigating, it was found that most of those things were fictional, with a few real occurrences, and the murderer has been found and formed a complete chain of evidence that should have nothing to do with Wufei.”
”Wu Fei hadn’t harmed anyone in the sickbay, but the hospital still decided to lock him up in Ward Nine, which was the result of a joint discussion between the hospital and the police.”
”The most dangerous one would be Ward Ten if you divide it according to the danger level. The patient who lives in this room has no name, I checked all the cases, the name column is only filled in with a number 10, the doctor never mentions his name, and the devil is usually used to refer to him in the cases.”
”This patient suffers from Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome, also known as Self-Destructive Facial Disorder, in which the onset of the disease involves making his face hideous and horrible with various instruments. His cognition is completely different from that of a normal person and he possesses an extreme desire for destruction.”
”Patient 10 spends most of his time chained to his bed, and when he goes out, he is bound to a wheelchair and guarded.”
”In fact people with Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome rarely live past the age of twenty, and this number ten is feared to be dead by now.”
Dr. Gao gave out all the information about the nine patients, and Chen Ge took a pen and jotted down all the information and names of the nine people onto a piece of paper.
The more he looked at what was recorded on the paper, the more uncomfortable he felt, “Dr. Gao, do you know where these nine people were transferred to after they left the third ward?”
”Other than Wang Shenglong, Xu Tong, and Han Bao’er, who have records of their visits elsewhere, the others are as if they’ve disappeared, and no information related to them can be searched.”
”Then do you have any contact information for these few people?” Chen Ge wanted to get a more comprehensive understanding of the third sickbay before the live broadcast began.
”The contact information in the file has basically become unusable, so it’s useless to give it to you.” Dr. Gao politely refused Chen Ge’s request, “I’m calling so late, mainly to tell you that that Wang Shenglong might be dangerous, many patients are one thing when they’re awake, and another when they’re offended. You mustn’t irritate them, after all, if you irritated them in the first place, their sentence will be light even if they hurt you.”
Dr. Gao’s meaning was very simple, and it was summarized as don’t be a death wish. He had found the carpet flat and without folds after Chen Ge’s fall, and had suspected at that time that Chen Ge hadn’t fallen on his own, but had been knocked down by an external force, which was why he had specifically called late at night to remind him.
”I understand, I will pay attention in the future.” Chen Ge thought for a while and then added, “Dr. Gao, if you find any more information related to the third sickbay remember to tell me, I’m very interested in that sickbay.”
”That’s quite a unique interest you have, alright, take an early rest, I’ll notify you first if there’s any new progress on my side.”
Hanging up the phone, Chen Ge put away the few pieces of paper on the table, thinking about the nine patients in his mind.
”Ten sick rooms, why are there only nine patients. If the numbering of the sick rooms is related to the level of danger, then why was room number three left empty? Has there actually been a patient living in there? Or was the patient in room number three killed in the sickbay?”
Chen Ge wasn’t sure when he fell asleep, he didn’t take off his clothes, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn.
Looking at his watch, it was just six o’clock, Chen Ge went out and washed his face, opened the door of the haunted house, and rushed to the nearest farmer’s market on a shared bicycle outside the paradise.
The day just dawned, the market was already crowded, Chen Ge squeezed in the middle of a group of grandparents, very conspicuous.
He first purchased a live rooster, then ran to the place where pork was sold and stood blearily next to it.
It was hard to wait for the shopkeeper to stop being busy, so he hurried over.
The pork seller was a man in his forties, and he had also noticed Chen Ge early on, “What do you want?”
When he really opened his mouth, Chen Ge also felt quite embarrassed, “I want to buy your pig-killing knife.”
”You came here to buy a knife?” The man thought Chen Ge was amusing him and his face pulled down.
”I really want to buy it.” Chen Ge directly placed the money next to the case, “Name a price.”
After explaining for half a day, the pork seller realized Chen Ge’s reason for buying the knife, he cried and laughed: “It’s not that I don’t sell you, nowadays they all use special machines to kill pigs with electric shock, besides, I only have bone chopping knives, boning knives, and ordinary meat cutting knives, if you want to find a pig killing knife that would have to go to the slaughterhouse.”
