I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 132 We also want to try
The sun was shining brightly, and the shadows of the trees in front of the iris door were swaying. Cathy pushed little Danielle for a slow walk along the tree-lined sidewalk, and greeted Ava and Zhou Qiao as they passed by the clinic.

"Dr. Zhou, little Ava, good morning!"

"Good morning, Cathy!"

"Good morning, little Danielle!"

Zhou Qiao and Ai Wa are working together to unpack a box, about one meter high and half a meter long, which was just delivered by a delivery person.There was a new carpet in the clinic, and the box was dusty and a bit dirty, so I unpacked it on the side of the road.

"Dr. Zhou, what did you buy?" Cathy asked.

Zhou Qiao said: "It is a newly purchased medical instrument. It is used by psychiatric patients."

"Ah~, Dr. Zhou, can you even treat psychological problems?" Cathy said in surprise.

"That's it!" Zhou Qiao smiled.

Ava echoed, "Joe is omnipotent!" He can hold down the operating room, can hold down what...

Thinking of Zhou Qiao's bravery last night, Ava couldn't help making a playful face at little Danielle, coaxing the little baby to giggle.

After unpacking the box, Ava originally wanted to move it with Zhou Qiao, but Zhou Qiao let out a sigh of relief, picked up the contents alone, and walked towards the clinic.

After taking the first-order metamorphosis potion physically, he can easily carry the twin sisters, which is not a problem with the equipment.

Ava's eyes lit up, she waved to Cathy and little Danielle, and followed into the room.

Seeing that they were busy, Cathy didn't go in to bother them, but pushed little Danielle and continued to walk along the boulevard.

She is also an old resident here, and many people in the neighborhood know her, and when they see her, they greet her and say good morning!
After the last dog killing incident, there were no stray dogs on this street again, and Cathy’s 8-shot vaccination had already been completed, and now she has basically forgotten the previous miserable experience.

However, just because there are no stray dogs for the time being, it does not mean that they will never encounter them. Little Danielle needs to go out for walks and bask in the sun frequently, so she cannot be kept at home all the time.

She was wondering if she should buy some self-defense weapons, the kind that the elderly could use to easily deal with dogs, but she just didn't know what kind to choose.Ordinary guns would have too much recoil, and her old arms and legs were a bit uncontrollable.

Cathy felt that the black girls in Ariel's laundry shop seemed to be okay, they belonged to a clear stream among black people, and they were all brave, so they might have better suggestions, so she pushed Danielle to Laundry chatter, asking how to deal with stray dogs.

Ariel knew that the old lady had a good relationship with Zhou Qiao and the others, and was a regular customer of the Iris Clinic, so she recommended a taser that was currently on sale to her!
It was police equipment in the past, but now it has gone out of the restricted area, and ordinary residents can also buy it, but it can only be used for self-defense.

Equipped with a laser sight, it is not expensive, about 1000 dollars.

Of course, just like ordinary pistols, the necessary procedures still need to be completed.

……

"Joe, what is this?" Ava saw Zhou Qiao move the instrument to the general practice room and put it in a corner, so she leaned over it.

Before Zhou Qiao answered, she sharply saw the words on the nameplate of the instrument!

"Pulse electric shock physiotherapy device?" Ava couldn't help but read it out, and then asked in great surprise, "Qiao, why did you buy this?"

"It's necessary for medical treatment!" Zhou Qiao also bought electric shocks, but it was not a robbery, but an instrument.He said while playing with the instruments.

Ava glanced back, seeing that no one was paying attention, she couldn't help leaning towards Zhou Qiao, and whispered, "This electric shock should be very exciting, right?"

Zhou Qiao: "Don't make trouble. It's a serious medical device!" It's not that kind of supplies, is it?Think too much!
Seeing Ava's expression of disbelief, Zhou Qiao explained: "This is physical therapy for Sophia, um, it is a better way to treat bipolar disorder, electroshock therapy, also called electroconvulsive therapy !"

Ava said: "I want to try too!"

Zhou Qiao glared at her: "The side effect is that you may lose your memory!"

"Forget it!" As soon as Ava thought about it, she was twitched by the electric shock, well, it's nothing, the key is that when she wakes up, she doesn't know anyone, that's really a tragedy in the world!

Of course, Zhou Qiao was trying to scare her. As long as she operates well, the chance of losing her memory is relatively small.

Otherwise, if the patient loses his memory, what level would that be?Is that still a master level?It’s almost entry-level!
After a while, Elena came in, saw this thing, and asked, "Joe, did you put it in the wrong place? It should be on our third floor!"

Eyes blinked, full of anticipation!
Zhou Qiao patted her head gently: "It's so bad to be overheard!"

Elena then embraced Zhou Qiao: "He is also sick~, let's try this instrument now!"

Zhou Qiao said: "Okay!" Then he picked up the pulse patch and applied it to her temples on both sides!
"Help~" Elena was so frightened that she ran away.

In fact, how could Ava and Elena not know that this is a medical instrument, they just wanted to tease Zhou Qiao.

After driving away these two seductive and naughty goblins, Zhou Qiao began to concentrate on tossing the instrument and debugging parameters.Once he learns it, he can teach it to Ava.

In fact, Zhou Qiao's master medical kit contains similar knowledge, but the specific parameters must be set according to the patient's condition. At the same time, electric shock cannot be used alone. If it is used together with drugs, the effect will be better.

That's a modified version of electroconvulsive therapy.

Because direct electric convulsions will be more painful.After improvement, the experience will be even better!

Zhou Qiao chose a muscle relaxant, and she can try it on Sophia when she comes for a follow-up visit.It should be able to effectively relieve the discomfort during the electric shock.

Sophia came in the afternoon.

She couldn't help eating and drinking again at noon, which caused negative emotions such as regret and blame, which further evolved into irritability and depression. She knew that overeating was not good, but she couldn't control it.

After I can't control it, it will cause psychological pressure, and bipolar disorder will come!
When bipolar disorder comes, if it is not well controlled, it will be resolved with overeating!Infinite loop!Vicious circle!
Therefore, Sophia felt something was wrong with herself, so she hurriedly came to seek help from Zhou Qiao.

Although she didn't have an appointment, she was considered an emergency, so Zhou Qiao received her.

When she came up, she was injected with a muscle relaxant, and then shocked!
Of course, it's not rough, but rather gentle. Let her lie on the examination bed, put on the conductive patch, turn on the instrument, and wait until the pulse starts, it becomes... extremely exciting!

Ava and Elena heard the news and quickly ran in to watch.

As nurses, they need to assist doctors in treating patients. Well, that’s what their job requires!
Seeing Sophia rolling her eyes, convulsing and trembling hands and feet from the electric shock, the two girls looked at each other for some reason, and suddenly they both had the same thought.

This kind of professional equipment is not suitable for use in the boudoir, but there are also special... electric shock products on the market that are used to adjust the atmosphere!

"Could it be that this is Joe's hint to us?" The second daughter muttered and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Qiao turned around and asked.

Elena and Ava shrugged and said in unison: "It's nothing!" Xin said, you will know when you buy it, and I will give you a surprise then!
"Joe, tell me the truth, when Sophia came last time, what methods did you use to give her physical therapy?" Elena asked, remembering what happened last time.

Ava echoed: "Yes, you didn't buy an electric shock therapy device that time, did you?"

Zhou Qiao said: "That's a massage technique, a bit heavy. But the effect is probably not as good as this electric shock!"

Of course, the professional modified version of electroconvulsive therapy is more suitable for Sophia.

Since it was his first time using it, Zhou Qiao did not dare to use it for too long. After only 10 minutes, he stopped the instrument and helped Sophia remove the conductive patch.

"Sofia, wake up, how are you?"

Sophia was in a daze, feeling that her soul had drifted into space, wandering in the endless void, and then, a call suddenly sounded in her ears.

So, gradually, Sophia felt that her soul had returned to her body, and then slowly opened her eyes!
A confused look on his face: "Who am I? Where am I?"

"Oh, no, Sophia has lost her memory!" Ava exclaimed.

Zhou Qiao signaled her not to talk nonsense, and quickly asked Sophia a few questions. Fortunately, Sophia answered all of them after she was a little slow!No amnesia!
Zhou Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that my skills should be nothing to say, the level of a master, how could it be possible for the patient to lose his memory!

"Sophia, remember? You're here for bipolar disorder treatment, and I'm giving you a modified version of electroconvulsive therapy."

"Ah, I remembered!" Sophia said with a face full of surprise.

"Then how do you feel?" Zhou Qiao asked.

Sophia thought about it seriously, and said: "That feeling is hard to describe, as if, as if... the whole person is floating on the sea, drifting with the current, and after a while, it seems to fly into space and walk on the moon, no, yes Lying and floating, all in all, is wonderful!"

Zhou Qiao asked: "Then do you still feel guilty, blame yourself, want to get angry, or feel depressed?"

Sophia thought carefully for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Not for the time being. Well, I don't want to eat or drink anymore. However, there is no guarantee that there will be a relapse."

Zhou Qiao smiled and said: "A three-foot-long freeze is not a day's cold. You need to take your time with this disease. Let's do this. In the past period of time, in addition to taking medicine on time, diet control, and nutritional balance control, you have to come to me every three days." Give an electric shock here, wait for a while, and then reduce the frequency according to the effect, what do you think?"

"Okay, okay, I think it's pretty good! Thank you, Dr. Zhou!" Sophia got up, got out of bed, staggered, and almost fell down.Because the legs were softened by the electric shock!
Ava and Elena snickered, they always thought this scene looked familiar!
Zhou Qiao felt that this electroconvulsive therapy was quite effective, and it seemed that even psychological counseling could be omitted.Of course, some psychological counseling techniques are also included in the usual consultation and communication. If necessary, psychological counseling can also be appropriately strengthened.

For bipolar disorder and bipolar disorder, drugs and electroshock therapy are used. As for bulimia nervosa, Zhou Qiao's treatment plan for Sophia is mainly to correct nutritional status, control overeating behavior, break the vicious cycle, and establish normal eating behavior.For example, according to the plan, the daily meal amount and frequency are specified and strictly implemented.

Drugs are mainly antidepressants, including serotonin reuptake inhibitors, tricyclics and so on.Fluoxetine is effective in patients with binge eating and mood disorders.
