Chapter 342 Mental Diagnosis

"Your food here is good?"

Following Tylos all the way, Xia Xu asked inexplicably.

"Oh? Why does Mr. Xia ask such a question?"

On the surface, Telos still had a serious look, nothing abnormal could be seen, and he even occasionally had a bit of humor. I don't know if it was to draw attention, but he was very talkative all the way.

"I see that many of your patients are quite fat."

Xia Xu watched several patients in striped hospital gowns leave in the distance accompanied by medical staff.

Probably also affected by the hint of the word 'giant', he is now particularly sensitive to body shape.

The two of them were passing through a lawn square used for activities of patients, and they could encounter some patients from time to time, 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 body is a pile of tire rims, and the thighs are thicker than the waist of ordinary people. Can hang down from thigh to calf like a pouch.

Obesity to this extent has basically completely lost the ability to move and take care of oneself, and European and American countries with extremely unbalanced diets can occasionally see two of them on the news.

As for Xia Guo, to be honest, it is quite difficult to get fat to this extent on purpose.

"Modern people's dietary structure is relatively unbalanced, and patients do not know how to control it. Various mental illnesses such as depression may lead to overeating tendencies."

Taylor's explanation was impeccable, and he knew the reason why Xia Xu asked this question: "The one just now was suffering from severe depression. He was so fat that he completely lost his ability to move and even endangered his life, so this time he was sent to us for psychological treatment first.”

"I see."

Xia Xu nodded slightly, instead of staying on this topic, he took the initiative to move forward.

Tailos also followed up, leading the way, and soon brought Xia Xu to a ward.

"this is……"

Xia Xu looked at the scene in the ward with a strange expression.

The Gardner Mental Hospital should be a high-end private hospital. All the 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 gown as the patients outside, with a handsome and elegant appearance but with dull eyes, was squatting beside the bathtub.

The middle-aged man didn't seem to notice Xia Xu and the others coming in, just squatting beside the bathtub that was filled with water, staring straight at the water.

Probably due to the vibration caused by the closing of the door just now, 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."

Taylor introduced.

"What is he doing?"

Xia Xu tried to get closer and came all the way to Cui Xinghua's back, but the other party still turned a blind eye and did not respond at all. He could only look sideways at Tylos.

"He's diagnosing whether his mental illness is getting better."

Talos is a commonplace appearance.

"Diagnose yourself?"

Xia Xu's expression became even weirder when he heard this.

"Yes, he seems to have been a doctor once."

Taylor nodded slightly, and then shrugged: "Although it's not psychiatric."

"Then what is his diagnosis?"

Xia Xu was a little speechless.

"The bathtub was filled with water, and there was his washbasin and mouthwash cup in it, and he tested how he could empty the water in the bathtub."

Taylor explained lightly.

"Can a normal person use a washbasin?"

Xia Xu asked.

Tellos said solemnly: "No, a normal person would unplug the bathtub."

Xia Xu: "..."

"Is this just a brain teaser?"

Xia Xu was a little speechless, and said: "And didn't he come up with this method himself? He already knew the correct answer, so it would be useful to test himself?"

"Yes, he knows the answers, so he makes the right choice every time."

Telos nodded in deep agreement, and said: "But he still insists on doubting whether he is mentally ill."

"Is this behavior already mentally ill?"

Xia Xu was a little amused.

"Yes, so he is mentally ill."

Talos nodded slightly again, and said: "When he no longer doubts and doesn't do such behaviors one day, maybe he will recover from his illness instead."

"So this kind of self-diagnosis is actually effective?"

Xia Xu was slightly taken aback.

On second thought, isn't this an effective diagnosis? When he no longer feels suspicious, he will naturally know that he is not sick.

"In a way, it does work."

Talos nodded again.

"Then is he mentally ill?"

Xia Xu felt a little dizzy already.

This kind of philosophical question cannot be sorted out with a good brain.

"of course."

Talos was sure.

"Psychopaths can still think of such a good way to diagnose their illness?"

Xia Xu raised his eyebrows in disapproval.

"Of course, that's exactly what psychopaths do."

Talos nodded affirmatively.

"What is the behavior of a normal person?"

Xia Xu said unexpectedly.

"Let me diagnose."

Tellos pointed at himself solemnly: "Otherwise, why do you want me, the attending doctor?"

Xia Xu: "..."

"Compared to you, a black-hearted doctor who doesn't know if he has changed his career from surgery, I think Cui Xinghua's own diagnosis is more reliable."

Xia Xu slandered inwardly.

Of course, the words were not spoken.

He fell silent, seeming to be looking at Cui Xinghua, but he was actually doing the same thing, but what he was looking at was his attribute panel.

Forget spiritual philosophy or something, the attribute panel is simpler and more reliable.

【Name】: Cui Xinghua

【Life level】: 1

[Fate Potential]: [Supporting role: "Giant"]

[Talent Potential]: Surgery (5 stars)

[Special]: None

[Obsession]: The death of the patient heals the hands

【Favorite】: 0

five stars!

Surgery!

Seeing this, Xia Xu was overjoyed immediately, and immediately focused his eyes on the bright talent entry.

But then he frowned slightly.

Five-star surgical skills are true, but Cui Xinghua's situation makes him a little uncertain.

Cui Xinghua is not the protagonist of the plot, but a supporting role. He and Tylos alone are not enough to unlock the synopsis of "Giant".

As for obsession, according to the information obtained by the special department, Cui Xinghua encountered a medical disturbance because of a failed operation that resulted in the patient's death.

In the end, due to medical troubles, his hands were damaged, and he could no longer perform delicate operations. His career was ruined, and he couldn't stand the blow and was admitted to a mental hospital.

In this case, it is normal to obsess over the death of the patient and the healing of the hands. This is the main cause of the illness, and it is impossible to forget it even if it is really crazy.

But in this way, it is completely impossible to confirm his current mental state through the attribute panel, and the only thing that can be hoped is his fate as a supporting role.

Ordinary small characters or background board-like passers-by will not show the fate of the supporting role. If there is a supporting role, it proves that they have a certain role in a certain plot.

Since he can become a supporting role and participate in the plot, his mind should usually be clear, and he may be pretending to be crazy.

But this is not absolute, because there are many crazy characters in various plots.

For example, the one who is mad and reveals some important information, the one who is half-crazy and half-conscious and acts as an expert in the world at a critical moment, the one who has a powerful past but falls into madness and waits for the protagonist to ask for help, and finally tries to wake it up...

There are not too many similar settings, and there is no need to talk about those falsehoods. Now the chief biological expert Gu Haiming under his command plays a similar role in the plot of "Batman".

Combined with Cui Xinghua's current actions and Talos' remarks that almost got him involved, Xia Xu now has to accept a reality - Cui Xinghua may be really crazy.
