Great, It’s the Pervy Neighbor. We’re Doomed
Chapter 136: The Second Meeting with Bai Xiaoliang
Everyone had their own opinions.
Some believed Jiang Ran had dissociative identity disorder, while others thought it was not and might be another type of mental illness.
But in the end, after comprehensive consideration,
this group of people diagnosed Jiang Ran with dissociative identity disorder.
And the main person responsible for this diagnosis was Bai Xiaoliang’s teacher.
His teacher is currently one of the top three authorities in psychiatry worldwide.
An American, currently residing in the United States.
Bai Xiaoliang learned his hypnosis techniques from this teacher.
This teacher said that Jiang Ran resembled a patient he had encountered many years ago.
Both the EEG and the brain MRI scans were strikingly similar.
Even the scales and questionnaires showed perfectly normal scores.
Hypnosis could not communicate with the other personalities within him.
At that time, the teacher could not be certain and even consulted two other top psychiatrists from the world’s top three authorities. The final conclusion was that it was highly likely dissociative identity disorder, requiring long-term observation.
Eventually, after prolonged observation, dissociative identity disorder was confirmed.
Therefore, this teacher began treating and controlling the patient.
Unfortunately, he ultimately failed.
Because that patient, for a period of time later, was controlled by an unknown personality within his body.
He committed many crimes and finally engaged in a gunfight with American police, where he was shot dead on the spot.
At this moment, Bai Xiaoliang sat in Consultation Room No. 1, in the doctor’s seat, while other medical staff in white coats either stood behind him or by the walls.
These people were all there to observe and learn because Jiang Ran was not an ordinary patient.
“By the way, Jiang Ran, which hospital diagnosed you with dissociative identity disorder before?”
Before deciding on a treatment plan for Jiang Ran, Bai Xiaoliang first asked which hospital had previously diagnosed him.
He was very curious about which hospital had diagnosed Jiang Ran.
After all, Bai Xiaoliang himself had put in great effort to confirm Jiang Ran’s dissociative identity disorder, even consulting a whole bunch of people including his own teacher.
Given his level of expertise, how could other hospitals have been able to confirm it? Or perhaps the hospital Jiang Ran previously visited had top psychiatrists like him?
“Uh… it was a small hospital, which no longer exists now.”
Jiang Ran felt a bit speechless inside. He had traveled through time and space after all;
he certainly couldn’t say he had been to hospitals on Earth, right?
As for traveling to this place, he indeed visited other hospitals in Nancheng City because he needed prescriptions.
But he didn’t know how that hospital in Nancheng City confirmed he had dissociative identity disorder. The process was very simple: they confirmed it and then prescribed medicine... Of course, that doctor seemed a bit careless and irresponsible. There were many bad reviews as well...
It was probably just that they heard Jiang Ran say he had dissociative identity disorder and needed medication, so they casually went through the motions and prescribed it, boosting their performance metrics.
“A small hospital?!”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaoliang was incredulous. It was so difficult to diagnose—how could a small hospital that no longer exists have confirmed it?
Or was the doctor who treated Jiang Ran back then an incompetent physician who thought Jiang Ran might have dissociative identity disorder and treated him accordingly?
Such doctors do exist.
If that was true, then it was really a stroke of luck.
At this point, Jiang Ran added, “At that time, they didn’t think the condition was so complicated. Mainly, when I went for treatment, the personalities suddenly appeared. It wasn’t like now. I was still young then, so the personalities popped out very easily.”
At this, Bai Xiaoliang suddenly understood.
And Jiang Ran wasn’t lying about this;
that was indeed a long time ago, when he was a child.
“Alright, Jiang Ran, have you recently taken any medication? Or undergone any treatment?”
Bai Xiaoliang inquired.
Jiang Ran said, “I haven’t done any targeted training or treatment for a long time.”
“As for medication, I used to take this kind, now I take this kind.”
Jiang Ran showed Bai Xiaoliang photos of the trash medicine he bought when he first arrived here, as well as two bottles of American medicine given to him by Wang Qingzhao.
Of course, the photos were saved on his phone.
Bai Xiaoliang was now holding Jiang Ran’s phone and looking at it.
Seeing the first bottle, he thought Jiang Ran must be poor;
otherwise, he wouldn’t be taking such cheap medicine with poor efficacy and side effects. But when he saw the second bottle, he went numb and froze.
He thought his eyes were deceiving him.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked multiple times to confirm he wasn’t mistaken.
Good grief, had Jiang Ran suddenly become rich?
If he wasn’t mistaken, this was the newest American medication for treating dissociative identity disorder.
It’s not even available for purchase yet in China!
It has to be bought directly from the United States!
So, what’s going on?!
First the trash medicine, now the top-tier medication?
“I’m a bit curious, how did you get this second bottle?”
Bai Xiaoliang voiced his question.
At the same time, he placed the phone on the table for other doctors to see this latest American medicine.
Jiang Ran said, “I didn’t buy it myself. A friend helped me buy it from the United States.”
“What’s wrong, doctor?”
Bai Xiaoliang smiled, “Nothing, this medicine is very good. You can continue taking it.”
“Next, let’s talk about other aspects!”
“Jiang Ran, last time you came, I asked if your parents or relatives had any history of mental illness.”
“You said you were an orphan, so I want to ask, did you suffer any major psychological trauma or injury during childhood?”
“In many cases, patients with dissociative identity disorder experienced brain trauma or stimuli during childhood that the brain could not accept, causing personality splits. Is that the case for you?”
Jiang Ran shook his head. “Probably not. Although my childhood was hard, I didn’t experience any trauma or injury.”
Bai Xiaoliang asked again, “Then, during your later growth or life experience, did you encounter any major upheaval or stimulus? Don’t lie to me;
I’m preparing for your subsequent treatment plan.”
Jiang Ran shook his head again. “No, nothing. Although I’m an orphan, I met many kind people while growing up. Other than lacking money, there’s nothing else.”
Bai Xiaoliang nodded. “Alright, I understand.”
“Then, recently, have you had any insomnia, hallucinations, restlessness, obsessive thoughts, irritability, a tendency to break things, difficulty communicating, or feelings of insecurity?”
“In general, patients with dissociative identity disorder usually exhibit some of these.”
Jiang Ran still shook his head. “None of those. Besides the other personalities inside me, my daily life is very normal.”
Bai Xiaoliang said nothing.
A young doctor behind him said, “Then, Jiang Ran, if everything is normal, what illness are you here for? Just keep taking your medicine regularly, right?”
Other doctors nodded as well. From their perspective, Jiang Ran’s current state was very good. The main personality’s life was normal, without any chaos. Just maintain it, and it would be fine, right?
Bai Xiaoliang motioned for them to be quiet. He believed that if Jiang Ran truly thought his life was fine, he wouldn’t be seeing a doctor. Would he not take his medicine normally?
There must be some issue.
“Jiang Ran, what problem do you want me to help you solve? Be specific.”
Bai Xiaoliang asked very seriously.
