Chapter 2353: Psychic Assault (I)

Chapter 2346 Psychic Assault (1)

"Good morning."

"Good morning, oh, by the way, doctor, Doan, the intern who came to your department yesterday, is his myocarditis better? He fell downstairs before, which scared us."

"He is fine. After communicating with his family about the situation, he decided to take a year off from school. Now I only have 11 interns left."

"God, I don't know how you survived. Yesterday, when the intern in our department was testing blood sugar, he made a big cut on the patient's finger. We also received two complaints from family members."

"Who hasn't made a joke during their internship?" Schiller smiled and said, "As for internship jokes, the surgery department has the most jokes. Maybe in a few days you will see our Mr. Hand of God getting so angry. Roaring like crazy."

The female doctor opposite smiled, waved her hand to Schiller and said, "I'm going to do the ward rounds first. A mirror man was sent to ward 1032 today. I have to take those little bastards to see it to prevent them from making a fuss every day. of."

Schiller also waved goodbye to her and walked to his office holding the medical records. As soon as he sat down on the chair in the office, the phone rang.

"Hey, hello."

"Hello, hello, this is the emergency room. A patient in the third trimester of pregnancy was found to have self-inflicted scars on her arm during a premature birth surgery. She may need emergency psychological intervention. Please go to the obstetrics department immediately. Repeat..."

Schiller put down the phone and hurried out the door. He bumped into a figure. Schiller stepped back and saw that it was an intern.

"Hello, doctor, I have a few questions while listening to the recording of yesterday's clinical intervention. I wonder when you..."

"Stop talking about this now, come to the obstetrics department with me." Schiller walked out and the intern hurriedly followed him. Schiller said as he went down the stairs: "A pregnant woman who gave birth prematurely was found by the doctor to have self-inflicted wounds on her arms during delivery. Traces, what do you think the problem might be?”

"Prenatal anxiety? In fact, severe prenatal anxiety and depression may lead to premature birth. Early intervention and treatment should be carried out. At the same time, if similar symptoms are found on the delivery table, emergency psychological intervention must be carried out to prevent Ensuring a stable psychological and emotional state of pregnant women and returning hormone levels to normal can also effectively reduce the probability of postpartum depression..."

The intern answered clearly and clearly. Schiller nodded and expressed his affirmation. But in fact, this is not surprising. After all, this is New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Doctors who can enter the internship here have no qualifications or abilities. Picky.

When it comes to why Schiller suddenly returned to New York-Presbyterian to work as a doctor, it is actually because of the current background of New York.

Marvel's earth technology has grown explosively, and the amount of information people can access is also growing. Even the already quite developed new media industry can no longer carry so much information, because in addition to the information on the earth, people also Continuously obtain information from the galaxy.

The official news from the three empires alone is beyond the 24-hour rotation of all news media in the United States, let alone all kinds of major cosmic events.

And due to the development of productivity, various types of inter-air rail transportation systems have replaced the traditional transportation industry, and the international situation has changed very suddenly. People living in this era have experienced earth-shaking changes in their lifestyles in just a few years.

This will inevitably lead to many problems, the first of which is the growing demand for psychological counseling among the people.

In fact, the psychological counseling industry in the United States is quite developed and professional, probably 30 to 50 years ahead of most developing countries. People with a little wealth will choose to make an appointment with a psychologist after feeling their emotional problems.

As long as you are a licensed doctor, you will have about 20 to 30 visits a week, and sometimes you have to deal with five or six patients a day.

Because a psychiatrist is actually equivalent to a general practitioner in psychology, psychological consultation is not as detailed as in a regular hospital. This kind of disease can be seen here, and that kind of disease can be seen there. Therefore, a patient often needs to undergo several examinations from the beginning to the end in one visit. hours, the work intensity is not only not low, but even exceeds the standard in many cases.

As times change, people are always more confused. In the United States, which has a tradition of providing psychological counseling services, the number of people making appointments for psychological counseling, psychotherapy, and psychiatric examinations has almost increased tenfold during this period.

Because psychotherapy developed relatively early in the United States, the training for psychiatrists is quite professional, and more importantly, the assessment is very strict. Let me just say one thing: all licensed psychiatrists have double master's degrees and double doctoral degrees from prestigious universities.

Not to mention an ordinary undergraduate degree, not even an undergraduate degree from a prestigious university, or even a master's degree or a doctorate from a prestigious university. Even if you meet the academic requirements, you must have more than 3,500 hours of clinical experience before you can take the joint licensing examination. Qualifications.

This screening mechanism has indeed made the quality of practicing psychologists in the United States relatively high, but the terrible time and money costs involved have stopped the vast majority of people who want to take this path.

An obvious contradiction is that if you want to graduate, you have to study, but if you want to get the 3,500 hours of clinical experience, you have to go out for an internship. If you study first and then practice, you will probably have to delay your graduation. One year after graduation, you have to pay one more year of tuition, and the tuition for clinical psychology is even more heavyweight.

If you want to study and practice at the same time, it won’t cost you money, but your life.

So although practicing psychologists in the United States make a lot of money, the number of people who can get a license is still decreasing every year. Most normal people have more cost-effective professions. It is impossible for a licensed psychologist to have no love for this profession.

But now people's needs are growing, but there are fewer and fewer doctors. After all, doctors are free people. They can quit if they have too much work. But ordinary people who cannot get formal psychological intervention because they can't get a doctor are likely to deteriorate from ordinary anxiety, depression or just temporary emotional problems to aggressive mental patients.

In fact, SHIELD has discovered this a long time ago. Many times, someone called the police to report that there was a super-powered terrorist. The FBI transferred the case to them. When the SHIELD agents went over, they found that this was not a super-powered terrorist, but a complete mental patient.

It was fine once or twice, until one day, Nick wanted to transfer people to New Mexico to count the inventory, but found that all the agents had been sent out. He checked and found that more than 20 agents were transferred to a major kidnapping case in the east of the city, and more than 10 agents were sent to deal with a bomb terrorist attack in the west of the city.

If you want to know why the FBI doesn't care, it's because they can't handle it anymore. All kinds of vicious crimes, big and small, just like a year-end performance rush, broke out at the same time.

Nick is not as stupid as the FBI people. They treat the symptoms without addressing the root cause. They think that the surge in crime rate is a natural phenomenon. He understands that this situation is either someone messing up or something is wrong.

After a lot of investigation, I didn't find the mastermind behind the scenes. To be precise, the mastermind behind the scenes is me.

After interviewing several murderers, Nick found a common point, that is, their mental state is not normal.

I thought it was the work of a super criminal with mental intervention ability. The purple man was caught and beaten. Finally, Schiller analyzed it and found that it had nothing to do with mental control. It was purely because of the change of times that psychological and emotional problems occurred frequently, and the number of psychologists could not keep up, which led to the customs of New York people starting to approach Gotham.

But Gotham is getting better now, but New York is not in the Renaissance. A group of people studied it and felt that it would not be very effective to manipulate public opinion to appease the public. It is still necessary to treat specific diseases.

The quality of doctors produced by the previous psychiatrist assessment program is indeed high. No matter what difficult and complicated diseases there are, as long as you can make an appointment and go to see the doctor on time, after a course of treatment, if not completely cured, there will definitely be a great improvement, at least it will not get worse.

But the problem is that there are too few people trained in this way. Compared with the current base of patients with diseases, it is not enough to fill the gaps. SHIELD can only try every possible way and start lobbying Congress.

Things like lowering tuition fees, lowering tuition loan interest rates, and relaxing entry barriers are all long-term plans. Now we need to see results in the short term. To supplement the staff, we have to start with the interns who are almost graduated.

To be honest, judging from the education level of the top American universities, none of the interns who have reached the stage of taking the license exam are weak. There are also many people who have practiced for more than 1,000 hours and basically know everything. The rest are just wasting time.

Therefore, we should first shorten the internship time, then relax the entry threshold, and at the same time bring back doctors who are already in the profession to teach, help interns to gather enough supervision time, and let them learn more real things in a short time, so as to solve such problems more efficiently.

The so-called supervision time is actually one of the requirements for clinical internship time. Simply put, the clinical internship conducted on the spot with the teacher is called supervision time, which is generally about 400~500 hours.

However, this part is often very strict. Two people stand together for an hour before counting, and tens of minutes are not counted, not to mention that there is a link called self-feeling before participating in the internship, that is, the interns go to see a psychologist by themselves, and they cannot participate in the internship if they do not see enough time.

Most of the practicing psychologists still have loans on their backs. If they don’t open private clinics to make a lot of money, how can they stay in your hospital and school as a small doctor and professor?

Therefore, there is an extreme shortage of teaching staff, which leads to a further decline in graduation rate. The lowest rate can even be as low as 40% in one year. Only 40% of all students can graduate successfully in the same year. For those who study for another year, the graduation rate in the second year may be less than 50%. You can read this book, and no one will say a word.

There is no other way in this situation. Pay the money. Whoever is willing to go back to the hospital and school to teach students will have their tuition loans waived.

Some people may think that with such a small welfare condition, how can they fool practicing physicians who earn high salaries outside to come back, but don't forget how expensive tuition fees are in the United States.

For Columbia University and Northwestern University, which are ranked well in the United States, the tuition fees for psychology graduate students are 70,000 and 80,000 respectively. Traditional famous universities such as Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Princeton are basically 50,000 or 60,000. Even if you can graduate normally, the moment you graduate, you will start with a student loan of more than 100,000 US dollars.

Psychologists have high incomes, but don't forget that the interest rate on graduate student tuition loans is around 7%. Unless you can pay off the loan in full within three years, many people end up paying off more and more money. Many people's children have gone to college, but their student loans have not yet been repaid.

So student loan relief is quite attractive to many practicing psychologists. At this time, SHIELD has thrown out another tempting chip, which is the currently popular interstellar sociology.
