Chapter 2387: Why Does It Still Hurt?
"There is a term in medicine called phantom limb pain. I believe everyone has heard of it."
"To put it simply, many people are forced to have their limbs amputated due to some reasons that cause them to experience extremely painful body parts."
"But for a long time after the cut-off, the patient will still feel pain. The pain does not come from a certain part of the body, but from the part that has obviously been amputated."
"In other words, the patient has lost part of his body, but the patient himself feels as if it is still there, and he can still feel the pain coming from it."
"This phenomenon is very common, and so far, it is still a worldwide problem."
"Of course, when I say this, I don't mean to say that his previous reaction was phantom limb pain. After all, his legs are still there and have not been removed."
"In my opinion, the reason why this happened is mainly due to psychological problems. He suffered severe pain in his injured leg for a long time, which gave him fear."
"So even though I obviously healed his injured leg, at that moment, the fear in his heart overwhelmed his body's normal senses, making him subconsciously feel that the injured leg still hurt as before."
"This pain is completely psychological, causing him to have a reaction similar to phantom limb pain."
"I just slapped him suddenly just to wake him up and let him know that his body was deceived by his brain."
Lin Tian said his conclusion calmly, and everyone nodded secretly, especially the doctors and nurses on the side.
They know more about medical knowledge than ordinary people. Although they know what Lin Tian's phantom limb pain is, they also understand that his speculation is very consistent with the actual situation.
The patient has been suffering from pain for a long time, and deep down, he is full of fear of that kind of pain.
Without absolute confidence in Lin Tian, it is indeed very possible to feel pain subconsciously because he does not believe that his injured leg is really healed.
In other words, what caused the pain just now was not the injured leg at all, but the psychology!
Seeing that everyone, including the doctors and nurses around him, kept nodding to the explanation given by Lin Tian, Dr. Xu fell to the ground, his expression getting increasingly ugly.
"So that's how it is! No wonder! No wonder!" The patient suddenly realized and now completely woke up.
He broke away from his mother's arms,
He sat up from the stretcher suddenly, then slowly put his feet on the ground in full view of everyone, and then stood up, trying to walk on the ground.
Since the sepsis affected his legs, he could only lie down all the time without his feet touching the ground. He could not walk like a normal person at all, and the pain worsened every time he walked.
But now, the injured leg no longer hurts, and Lin Tian also told him that it was almost healed. His first reaction was to stand up and take a few steps to take a look.
In the first few steps, he staggered a little. This was because he had been in bed for a long time and his legs were unable to adapt to walking.
The middle-aged woman hurriedly wanted to help him, but he waved her hand and refused.
Soon, with the patient's hard work, he stumbled at the beginning and quickly adapted to it. He became as fast as flying and ran back and forth excitedly in the corridor where everyone was getting out of the way! !
If there weren't too many people around the corridor, seeing how excited he was, he would have wanted to do a few somersaults to express his excitement at this moment.
"Mom! I'm fine! I'm really fine!!!"
The patient ran back, yelled excitedly, and hugged his mother tightly.
Anyone could tell from his flying legs and feet that he was no longer seriously ill, and could even be said to have recovered.
Not only did his injured leg become normal, but his previously pale face also became rosy. From the previous sluggishness, he became energetic, making him completely different!
"Great, great! My son is cured!" The middle-aged woman burst into tears, looking happier than her own son.
"Ah! It hurts! Mom, what are you doing to me?" The excited patient suddenly screamed.
"You little bastard, you're fine when you're done. Just now you were crying and howling, which scared your dad and I to death! We thought... we thought... I'd beat you to death, you bastard!"
The middle-aged woman was crying and laughing at the same time, beating her son with her fists, but anyone could see that she was using no force in her punches.
"Okay, okay! My son didn't mean it, he was too scared just now..."
The middle-aged man hurriedly walked over, persuaded with a smile, and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
They were a family of three, hugging each other tightly, crying and laughing.
This emotion also infected everyone. Everyone gathered around. Many people's mouth corners were raised and the corners of their eyes were slightly moist. They were really happy for their family.
"Impossible...impossible..."
Doctor Xu fell to the ground, looking at the family of three hugging each other, staring closely at the patient's healed injured leg, and kept mumbling.
Even though the facts were in front of him, he still couldn't believe it, or couldn't accept it!
He couldn't accept that Lin Tian, a person he despised and considered a charlatan, could actually cure diseases and save people, and it was such a difficult disease!
Especially, he was so sure before and was about to reveal Lin Tian's hypocritical mask. Unexpectedly, the ending was not what he expected, a 180-degree reversal!
It was as if Lin Tian had slapped him hard in the face, making his face hurt.
He reached out and touched his face. Yes, it still hurt. It was because the patient had kicked him subconsciously just now!
When he thought of making such a big fool of himself in public, his unwillingness and anger suddenly rose into the air and burned fiercely! !
"I don't believe it! He can never cure this disease. He must have used some tricks again!"
"Get out of my way. I want to prove to you that I am right!"
Dr. Xu suddenly shouted, jumped up from the ground, and pushed the middle-aged couple away.
Then, he grabbed the patient's collar with both hands and pushed the patient, who had not yet reacted, back onto the stretcher.
Then, he grabbed the scalpel that Lin Tian had used before from the side and looked at the patient with shining eyes.
"Ah! What are you going to do!" The patient screamed in fear, and everyone was stunned. No one thought that Dr. Xu would suddenly go crazy.
"I tell you, his illness has not been cured at all. All this is just a trick of that bastard!"
"Watch carefully, I will prove it to you now!!"
Dr. Xu shouted loudly with a scalpel in hand.
Then, he held the patient's injured leg with one hand, grabbed the scalpel with the other hand, and cut it fiercely!
