Chapter 9, Internship Experience
Many medications for mental illnesses have strong sedative effects. After the woman took the medication, she quickly calmed down and ceased her disturbances. Perhaps the doctors and nurses here are accustomed to such scenes, as no one seemed to find anything unusual about this female patient. Only Wang Nan harbored a slight suspicion in her heart
The various tragic conditions of the mental patients in the hospital still instilled a sense of fear in her. The term "tragic conditions" here does not imply that the hospital mistreats the mental patients, but rather refers to the frenzied, disordered, and chaotic state they exhibit during their episodes, which left her deeply moved.
It is a mental health rehabilitation center, commonly referred to as a psychiatric hospital. She is a young girl, and although she is studying this field, she was still shocked by the scenes inside when she first arrived.
However, hospitals have their own principles; this is not a concentration camp, and the mistreatment of patients is absolutely not permitted. Under the insistence of Director Wei, those individuals ultimately untied the woman.
Wang Nan, who had originally harbored doubts, was now moved by the words of this woman and began to listen intently as she recounted her story
Wang Nan said that it was an incident she personally experienced during her internship at a hospital involving a book.
Xiao Cong was originally a student at a well-known university in this city, majoring in Business Administration. It is widely recognized that this so-called management major in the liberal arts is, in fact, quite a trivial field of study. After four years of university, the most one can hope for upon graduation is to find a clerical job; who would entrust the management of anything to a university graduate with no experience
Upon hearing these words, Wang Nan immediately became alert. However, the others did not seem as surprised as she was, as if they were accustomed to such scenes, appearing quite numb. It was only later, when she finally became a psychiatrist, that she realized many patients were brought in under similar circumstances, with most of them refusing to acknowledge their illness. At most, they were not brought in as dramatically as this woman, who was bound and had her mouth covered.
One day, Dr. Chen asked Wang Nan to deliver medicine to that patient. Since the woman had not been causing any disturbances recently, the care for her was not as strict. Wang Nan, feeling anxious, arrived at the hospital room alone.
The president of that company is surnamed Cheng, a middle-aged man in his forties, who initially took great care of her. Whenever Xiaocong encountered difficulties, President Cheng patiently taught her alongside the books; if Xiaocong made any mistakes, President Cheng would not blame her; when Xiaocong had conflicts with other colleagues, President Cheng also stood by her side and reprimanded that colleague
The director then assigned this patient to Dr. Chen for handling
At that moment, another doctor from the hospital approached Director Wei and informed him that these individuals were his neighbors from his hometown, and that they had communicated with him prior to their arrival. This male doctor, surnamed Chen, had worked at this hospital for many years
Who would have thought that as soon as the rope was untied, the woman immediately tore off the tape stuck to her mouth, pushed away those who were "escorting" her, knelt on the ground, and cried out in excitement, saying to us: She is not sick, she has been kidnapped by these people
Although Wang Nan was still filled with doubts at that time, she was, after all, an intern, and it was not her place to interject, so she did not dare to say anything
Mental hospitals differ from other types of hospitals. In other hospitals, doctors prescribe medication and remind you to take it on time, and then it is up to you whether to follow through or not, with no one monitoring you. However, patients in mental hospitals often refuse to take medication due to mental disorders and cognitive confusion, and there are times when it is necessary to take coercive measures to ensure that patients take their medication. Therefore, even though this woman repeatedly denied having an illness, she ultimately was administered medication.

However, she is, after all, a medical student in this field, and she quickly adapted to the work of her internship there. She witnessed the tragic conditions of those patients and the suffering caused by their ailments, and she resolved in her heart to become an excellent doctor, doing her utmost to help these unfortunate patients
At the beginning, Xiao Cong felt very uneasy, thinking that what she was doing was disgraceful and embarrassing. Usually cheerful and outgoing, she became quite unhappy for a while. Fortunately, at that time, President Cheng was very caring towards her, taking her out for fun, buying her many beautiful clothes, brand-name bags, cosmetics, and so on, and even gave her a credit card, allowing her to overspend as she pleased
Thus, she was unaware whether Dr. Chen had conducted a preliminary diagnosis for the patient, and the woman was admitted to the hospital. Due to the patient's desperate struggles, she was ultimately put into a restraint garment (the type of clothing that restricts a patient's movements) and confined to a single patient room
In the following days, every time Wang Nan passed by the woman's hospital room, he would look through the observation window to check on her condition. In the first few days, the woman kept resisting and insisting that she was not ill. Later on, she became quiet and no longer caused a commotion
This woman said her surname is Cong, so let us refer to her as Xiao Cong.
Finally, there was an occasion when Mr. Cheng took her on a business trip to Shanghai. In the hotel, she was half-heartedly taken by that man, losing her virginity. At that moment, she felt very nervous and somewhat regretful, but Mr. Cheng swore and promised to treat her well in the future, so she submitted to this man and became Mr. Cheng's secret lover, becoming a "mistress".
Director Wei, on duty, sternly reprimanded those who brought the patient, stating that even if the woman had a mental illness, she should not be treated in such a cruel manner. She ordered them to quickly untie the woman. However, those individuals refused to comply, insisting that if the female patient was released, she would go mad and even bite people.
Gradually, she developed a slight affection for this man, sometimes feeling quite dependent on him as he cared for her like both a father and an older brother. However, Cheng was always a married man, and she never entertained any excessive thoughts.
The vanity of the young girl, under such pressure, gained the upper hand. She soon stopped thinking so much about www.hetushu.com and gradually immersed herself in a happy life of riding in luxury cars, wearing branded clothes, and being envied by many.
The woman was very quiet, saying nothing as she took the medicine handed to her by Wang Nan. However, just as Wang Nan turned to leave, the woman suddenly grabbed her and, in a low and mysterious voice, said to Wang Nan: "Doctor, I see that you are a kind-hearted person. Could you please help me? I truly am not ill, and I will not cause any trouble. I only ask that you listen to me talk about my situation."
It was at that time that a new patient arrived at the hospital. She was a young woman, appearing to be around 20 years old. She was brought in bound with ropes, her mouth taped shut, and she was struggling desperately, making the scene resemble that of a kidnapping.
During her junior year, Xiao Cong began to seek internship opportunities and engage in social practice. She was quite "fortunate" to be hired as the secretary to the CEO of a trading company. Many university students either receive no salary or a very low salary during their internships. However, in her position, she surprisingly earned a considerable salary, which meant she could earn a year's tuition in just a few months. This made her feel a bit proud at the time, and her classmates were all very envious of her.
