"A person should be able to distinguish his body, which parts belong to the body and which do not belong to... But something is wrong with this leg... It is not true, I can't feel its existence, I don't think it belongs to me."

This is not the words of a group of patients who suddenly appeared in Dongzhou today, but the description of their own symptoms by a patient with aorticosis more than 30 years ago.

Somatic agnosia, a rare neurological syndrome, is almost opposite to "phantom limb disease". More than 80% of amputees can still feel their lost limbs for a long time after the wound is healed. Some even have "phantom limb pain", and the patient feels that the amputated limb is still there and pain occurs there.

The existence of these situations indirectly proves that the nervous system directly restricts the human ability to perceive its own body.

It’s not the body itself, but the nervous system, which determines how many limbs a person feels he has and how his limbs are in.

However, what mechanism does this nervous system have? How do they play these roles in the human brain?

For a long time, the medical community has been trying to study it clearly, but it has always lacked scientific and reasonable explanations.

Now, Gu Jun cannot explain to the patients and colleagues what is happening now.

In the isolation ward area on the 9th floor of the Dongzhou Tianji Medical Department, there are 37 independent wards living in each of the "allergic hand" patients. Their painful screams kept coming out, and they were gradually getting delirium words that were tortured in the corridor.

In less than a day, 37 patients were treated in various hospitals in Dongzhou. Perhaps there were more patients, who had not been diagnosed and had not yet received medical treatment.

They showed the same symptoms, all of which were pain in the right upper limb without reason, and quickly became unrecognized within 3-8 hours, and the pain worsened. Multiple blood vessels and blood flow obstruction occurred in the affected limb. The thrombolytic drugs were given to relieve it, but the patient's pain was even worse. In addition, from the beginning of unrecognition, the patient was eager to remove the affected limb through amputation.

The symptom of xenochemis seeking amputation is very similar to another very rare delusional disorder:

Body Integrity Identity Disorder.

People who unfortunately lose a certain limb because of an accident always miss the time when their physical fitness is complete, but biid patients are just the opposite. They always long for a certain limb to be amputated and that does not belong to them, they are born without it, or they suddenly don’t want it anymore, it doesn’t matter whether this is called a disability. They think this is normal. Only by getting rid of the affected limb can they realize their true complete self and be happy.

Usually, the affected limb is one of the limbs, and sometimes there are two, three or even four.

In order to achieve this goal and the doctor does not agree to amputation surgery, they often take self-harm behaviors that patients with anaphylaxis will not have, crashing cars, using ice water to freeze their legs until necrotic, or even self-amputation. This has happened.

This mental disease has been recognized and has not been named for a long time. Its pathology is still a mystery for the time being. Whether it is a psychological disease caused by purely external factors or a brain dysfunction caused by nervous system disorders, there are only hypotheses.

At present, the most effective treatment method for biid, the best way to relieve patients' pain and improve patients' quality of life is to amputate patients.

Gu Jun came outside one of the wards, and the team next to him also stopped and looked at the patients inside through the glass window.

The patient is Zhou Yibao, 21 years old, a junior at Jihua University. He is the earliest patient to seek medical treatment for the xyroid disease that has been discovered.

Li Ruiquan, the emergency doctor who was treating Zhou Yibao at that time, noticed the abnormality and notified the hospital to report it to the Tianji Bureau immediately. Things went on very quickly. Dongzhou Tianji Bureau received reports from multiple hospitals. After sending personnel to determine the abnormality, they transferred the patients to isolate and treat them.

Why are they? What kind of pathogenesis? What are the commonalities between these patients, both men, women, young and old? Is the xenophobia contagious?

The Department of Medicine is still trying to figure out these problems.

As for treatment, the medical department cannot come up with many solutions. Even if the biid is indeed caused by nerve abnormalities, no matter where the nerve abnormalities are proven.

Therefore, leukotomy and nerve damage surgery that can be used to quench thirst are not applicable. Instead of destroying the brain and causing unknowable and irreversible damage, it is better to perform amputation. After all, losing one hand can lead to a high-quality life and can install prosthetics.

In dealing with ordinary biids, the usual means are cognitive behavioral therapy, aversion therapy and other psychological treatments, but the effect is not very good.

The psychological group has tried these methods on patients with sedative symptoms and has injected some patients with sedatives. Zhou Yibao is one of them, but the patients failed to calm down, but instead became more and more intense.

This situation is very similar to the patient with heteroscalcosis feeling that there is always an itchy area in the lesions.

Patients with heterosurgery are tortured by their own rejection of heterosurgery.

Of course Gu Jun knew that this was not an ordinary biid, not something that happened naturally, it was the negative choice force, the black goat cub...

After thinking about this, Gu Jun opened the door to the ward when he was in a mess.

Suddenly, there was an inexplicable impact on his right hand, as if he had sensed something.

"Ah..." Zhou Yibao, a patient who was fixed on the hospital bed, saw the group of medical staff wearing protective clothing walking in, and immediately screamed even more excitedly, his eyes full of blood, "Amnesty for me quickly, chop off this hand, this is not mine, it is really not mine..."

The patient's right upper limb is particularly reinforced because it is necessary to promote blood circulation. The bound area is not large, and the upper arm, elbow, and forearm are all handcuffed.

This not only prevents the abnormal hand from losing control, but also prevents the patient's self-harm behavior. The patient's position of the back of the hand stabbed with a fountain pen has been treated.

Gu Jun looked at the strange hand wrapped in white gauze, and there seemed to be hallucinations in front of him, as if he was dissecting the giant broken limb of the black goat cub at the dissection table. Standing by the dissection table, it seemed like someone else...

At this time, the patient's unusual hand suddenly pulled, causing the iron handcuff to make a loud noise, and the several iron handcuffs seemed to be about to break.

"Cut it off, cut it off..." The patient suddenly became even more crazy.

Gu Jun tightened his right hand, suppressing the inexplicable movement as if he was holding it tightly by the mountain stream of Shidong Mountain.

Uncle Dan and others next to him were also helpless. They had passed the routine handling procedures of abnormal forces and did not achieve results.

However, the medical department has not had much time. The patients are affected by painful stimulation. The heart rate, blood pressure and other indicators are in danger. The test results of multiple organs such as liver and kidney are not optimistic. Moreover, the anticoagulation effect of the affected limbs is constantly decreasing. If this continues, the patients will be sent to the rescue room at any time.

"Ajun, do we have to consider implementing amputation?" Uncle Dan asked in a low voice.

It is not a solution, but an experimental treatment method. Perhaps the patient will still experience phantom limb pain after the affected limb is amputated, and perhaps the limb separation disease will be cured.

These days, the doctors of the Bureau of Jiji and many clinicians are also, and often they are not able to cure patients, but they can work hard to make the patients survive and survive better...

Gu Jun took a deep breath, but he didn't say a word for a long time, and there seemed to be a strange sound in his ears.

You will have many opportunities for surgery, will you still have surgery?
