Zheng Ren and Su Yun were changing their clothes in the changing room. Zheng Ren remained silent.
“What are you thinking?” Su Yun asked.
“The children’s illness.”
“Don’t you have any shame?” “You’ve just graduated a few years ago,” Su Yun said disdainfully.”You’re already calling the kids ‘kids’. Who are you to call them that?”
“I feel like I’ve aged a lot after being a chief resident for a year.” Zheng Ren said.
“It’s only been a few months, not even half a year. ” Su Yun corrected Zheng Ren’s mistake.
“Don’t mess around. You said that there’s no problem, but you’re vomiting. Have you ever seen a similar case?” Zheng Ren asked.
“I’ve seen it alone. You’ve seen it too. Isn’t it hysteria?” Su Yun had clearly thought about it.
When she was chatting with Zheng Ren, she could talk about all kinds of whimsical ideas. If he said this in front of other people, even if it was Zhou Litao … Or even Department Director pan, he would not say it.
Hysteria was also known as dissociative identity disorder.
It was a mental disorder caused by mental factors, such as life events, internal conflicts, and hints or self – hints, which acted on patients prone to illness.
Hysteria was mainly divided into two types: symptoms of separation and symptoms of conversion. The symptoms were functional, so psychotherapy played an important role.
In the emergency department, it was common to encounter hysteria patients, such as the girl in Haicheng who had thought she was pregnant.
However, if two or three people acted up at the same time, that would be all, let alone hundreds of students from the imperial capital Medical University acting up at the same time.
After Su Yun finished speaking, she took out a cigarette and threw it to Zheng Ren.
“Don’t think about it, let’s just walk and see. ” Su Yun said.
However, Zheng Ren did not catch the cigarette that he had thrown at him. It fell on his body, fell to the ground, and rolled to the side.
“What are you thinking? Why are you always distracted?” Su Yun frowned.
“Hysteria? Mass hysteria, have you studied it?” Zheng Ren suddenly asked.
“…” Su Yun was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
“Don’t move, let me think. ” Zheng Ren entered the state of searching for medical cases again, and he looked like a stone statue.
“Idiot.” Su Yun scoffed.”Don’t f * cking think about it. Do you think mass hysteria is a ghost pressure? Or is it a group?”
“That’s not the case. ” “According to historical records, the dancing plague broke out in strasbough of the Holy Roman Empire in the summer of 1518,” Zheng Ren said.”Do you have any impression of it?”
“A woman suddenly started dancing on the street. After four consecutive days of dancing, the number of people participating in the dance had reached 34, and the streets were starting to get crowded. Within a month, there were already more than 400 people in the entire city who were happily swinging around. They were so packed that even water couldn’t flow through. ” Su Yun frowned.”You mean this?”
“Yes.” Zheng Ren bent down and looked around. He picked up the cigarette that had fallen on the ground, as if he already had an idea.
“I think there’s a problem with the historical data. This kind of grandstanding is very likely to be compiled by the bards at that time to deceive people.” Su Yun was disdainful.”Meowing like a nun. It’s the same.”
In the medieval records, an even more terrifying scene was when the Parisian nuns collectively learned to meow.
All of this started when one of the nuns let out a “meow.” After that, the surrounding nuns seemed to have been infected by her and started to meow like her.
There was a pattern to the nun’s meowing, and all the nuns would meow for a few hours at the same time every day.
According to the analysis, mass hysteria often occurred in schools, factories, monasteries, military camps, and other places with strict discipline and high environmental pressure.
Zheng Ren knew that Su Yun was talking about this matter. He had also thought of it. Faced with Su Yun’s disdain, Zheng Ren laughed.”Forrest Gump, have you read it?”
“Of course, it’s a perfect film. It’s a pity that Shawshank’s redemption met Forrest Gump. ” As Su Yun spoke, the topic turned to another unknown direction.
“Agan’s long – distance running, Louis Michael Figueroa, who crossed the United States three times, was one of his prototypes. Well, let’s not talk about this. Don’t you think it’s strange that many people are running with agan?” Zheng Ren asked.
“Boss, that’s artistic.”
“No, I don’t think so.” “Yes,” Zheng Ren said firmly.”Sometimes, a strong psychological cue and the image of certain factors will produce a strange result.”
“For example?”
“You’re right. A case from the Middle Ages is more entertaining. Let’s talk about a case from the past few decades.” “Pokemon, have you watched it?” Zheng Ren asked.
“Your words have revealed your age.” Su Yun said in disdain.
“I’ve never seen it either. I only know that Pikachu appeared later on according to this animation.” Zheng Ren lit the cigarette and took a puff. The smoke was straight and without any curve.
“Boss, don’t you think it’s a waste to use the fine control of turbulence on smoking?” Su Yun asked.
“When you’re thinking about a problem, you do it subconsciously, just like performing surgery. A butcher dismembering an ox, this should be advanced enough, right?” Zheng Ren laughed.
“Let’s get down to business. What’s wrong with pokémon the elven?” Su Yun asked.
” 16 December 1997,18: 30 am. The Japan audience is watching the popular animated Pokemo Episode 38, the computer Warrior 3d Dragon.” Zheng Ren said.
Su Yun was serious this time.
The year 1997 was not too far away.
And there was time. It was as detailed as days and even minutes.
But why didn’t he have any impression of this?
“However, at about 18:50, a large number of bright and flashing special effects images appeared. After that, some of the children started to show symptoms, from short breaths, to nausea, to spasms, to hallucinations, and so on. “
“Within half an hour, more than 600 youths were sent to the hospital for treatment. Among them, 208 are unconscious and 3 are in deep coma. Most of them are primary and secondary school students. “
“At the time, these children were all diagnosed with light – sensitive epilepsy, and the cause was the lighting effects in the animation. Zheng Ren spoke very slowly, as if he was thinking as he spoke.
Su Yun immediately caught the loophole in Zheng Ren’s words and interrupted him,”wait a minute! There are a few problems with what you said. “
“I know, listen to me first. This diagnosis is not very convincing. ” Zheng Ren smiled.”Allergic epilepsy alone has an attack rate of about 0.02%. The possibility of hundreds of people suffering from it at the same time is even smaller than a meteor hitting earth.”
“Secondly, similar flashing scenes have been common in the animations of the past 20 years. This was an animation production technique called Paka, Paka, and Paka. Simply put, it’s to let different colored lights appear alternately and repeatedly to create tension for the plot. “
“Is this what you want to say?” Zheng Ren asked.
Su Yun nodded. Although he did not care about what Zheng Ren said, he felt that this piece of gossip was too interesting.
However, he had already said what he wanted to say. Could it be that he had thought of everything?
Impossible. It was definitely not some group hysteria.
