Psychiatric Internship Records

Before he was going to visit Zhou Bin the next day, he asked Qi Fen if he wanted to go with him, and Qi Fen readily agreed.

The nights in early autumn gradually lengthen, the leaves on the roadside are dry and yellow, the breeze is blowing, the leaves are blown tottering, but they are struggling to stick to the branches.

Qi Fen followed Wei Kai into a half-new and half-old neighborhood, and Sister Wang was already standing at the gate of the neighborhood to welcome them.

"Why did you bring it here yourself?" Sister Wang hurriedly took the medicine in Wei Kai's hand, "I should go get it from you."

"It's okay, let's take a look at him." Wei Kai waved his hand, "This neighborhood is not bad!"

Sister Wang said as she led the way: "It used to be a one-story house. My mother and uncle grew up here. Later, my mother married my father and moved out. My grandparents passed away, and only my uncle was left. One person still lives here. When the government demolished the whole area, the original residents went upstairs and built affordable housing.”

"You live here now?" Wei Kai asked.

"No, I live in my parents' house, about 10 kilometers away from here."

Wei Kai was puzzled: "Then you come here every day to take care of her, how tired you are."

"Hey, speaking of this." Sister Wang sighed, "When my uncle was sick, I wanted to pick him up to live in my house. My wife and daughter both agreed, but my uncle just didn't want to leave. When I come back, I won’t be able to find him, so I can’t persuade him, and neither can I.”

The residential buildings in the community are almost the same, and the roads are winding and winding, like a miniature maze.

"Here we are, this is the door." Sister Wang took out the access control card and swiped the card to enter.

It happened that an old lady came up behind her, her back was hunched, she was walking tremblingly on crutches, Qi Fen took two steps to help her.

"Thank you, thank you." The old lady thanked and greeted Sister Wang, "Xiao Wang is here again!"

"Enen, come and see my uncle." Sister Wang pulled the door and let the old lady in first.

"You are really filial, Lao Zhou is really lucky to have a niece like you." The old lady praised, and walked into the elevator with Qi Fen's support, "By the way, when I was going out just now, I met a person who called your house number at the gate , he is quite old, I asked him why he came here, and said he was applying for a babysitter. But you didn’t answer the phone call from the access control, it must be because you are not at home, and I don’t know if it’s true or not, so you didn’t let him in.”

"Yes, I registered with the housekeeping company, and several have come, but I didn't like it." Sister Wang explained.

The old lady nagged with concern: "That's right, in Lao Zhou's state, we must find a suitable one and don't bully him."

The elevator stopped, the old lady got off the elevator by herself, and the other three continued to ride the elevator up.

The decoration style of Zhou Bin's home is very old, with wooden walls and white walls with some stains.The patterned fabric sofa, plain coffee table and TV table are like furniture handed down from the 70s and [-]s, exuding a sense of old dilapidation.

When the three of them came in, Zhou Bin was sitting on the sofa, staring at the unturned TV in a daze, still holding the drawing book in his hand, and didn't respond to anyone coming in.

"Uncle," Sister Wang took off her coat, squatted in front of Zhou Bin and said, "Dr. Wei and Dr. Qi have come to see you."

Only then did Zhou Bin realize that someone came in, he recovered from his dull expression, looked down at Sister Wang, and said in an old voice, "Who are you?"

"I'm your niece." Sister Wang once again replied to this self-introduction that she had said countless times.

Qi Fen and Wei Kai also stepped forward to introduce themselves.

"Hi Mr. Zhou, I'm Wei Kai."

"I'm Qi Fen."

Zhou Bin nodded: "Hey, hello."

"How is your health recently?" Wei Kai asked.

"It's good, everything is good." Zhou Bin replied slowly.

Wei Kai gave Zhou Bin a general examination, and asked Sister Wang a few questions about Zhou Bin, and confirmed that he had no other problems except that his dementia was getting worse.

He also asked Zhou Bin to take medicine on time, but mainly for Sister Wang, Zhou Bin couldn't remember these at all.

"Definitely." Sister Wang promised. She looked at her watch and found that the time was almost up. She turned her head and said to Zhou Bin, "Uncle, please chat with the guests for a while, and I will cook for them."

"I'll help you." Wei Kai hurriedly ran to the kitchen, "Qi Fen, watch him."

Only Qi Fen and Zhou Bin were left in the living room, Qi Fen sat next to him and observed Zhou Bin carefully.

I saw that the skin on his hands was loose and bumpy, and he was holding the drawing book tightly, with a slight senile tremor, even the drawing book was trembling.

Qi Fen wanted to ask Zhou Bin about Fa Xiao, but Zhou Bin looked over first and asked again: "Who are you?"

"I'm Qi Fen."

"Oh." Although Zhou Bin expressed his understanding, his thoughts seemed to drift elsewhere. He opened the drawing book, and stroked each page as before.

Qi Fen took the opportunity to ask: "What are you touching in the notebook?"

"Portrait of Hongyun." Zhou Bin's wrinkled face was full of tenderness, and he said to the book with no imprint, "Look at how handsome he is!"

"Yeah, he's very handsome." Qi Fen agreed, pretending to see his haircut, "Did you draw this?"

When it comes to Fa Xiao, Zhou Bin is uncharacteristically active and excited, with a radiant face: "Yes, I drew it stroke by stroke."

Then he turned back two pages of the drawing book, pointed to the blank paper, and said, "This is the one I am most satisfied with. He is sitting under the magnolia in the yard and asked me to draw for him. The flowers are very fragrant." After that, he shrugged his nose intoxicated, as if smelling the fragrance of flowers more than 50 years ago.

Zhou Bin fell back into his own world, and Qi Fen did not continue to disturb him.

After he finished touching the drawing book again, the burning flames in his eyes were extinguished, and he returned to dead silence.He looked up and saw Qi Fen sitting beside him, and asked, "Who are you?"

"...Qi Fen."

"Oh, hello." Zhou Bin said hello, then stood up abruptly, and walked into the bedroom unsteadily.

Qi Fen was taken aback, not knowing what he was going to do, so he hurried after him.

When passing the kitchen, the strong aroma of vegetables wafted out, and Qi Fen heard that Wei Kai was telling Sister Wang an anecdote about the mental hospital, which made Sister Wang giggle.

"So the mental hospital is so fun?" Sister Wang was curious.

"It's not." Wei Kai shredded the potatoes, "I'm just talking about it for fun."

"Hahaha."

The bedroom was gloomy and cold, the opposite of the cheerfulness and laughter of the kitchen.Zhou Bin stood quietly in front of the bookcase, staring blankly at the glass door of the cabinet, as if there was something in it that particularly attracted him.

Inside the bookcase are neatly stacked pale yellow old books, ranging from Tang Poetry and Song Ci to various novels, from Marxism-Leninism to foreign literature, and there is another layer dedicated to piles of old magazines.

Qi Fen followed Zhou Bin's line of sight, not knowing which book he was staring at.

"Which one do you want? Can I get it out for you?" Qi Fen asked proactively.

Zhou Bin looked over blankly.

Qi Fen introduced himself in advance: "I'm Qi Fen, where do you want to get the book?"

"The Chinese textbook is about to take an exam. I have to review it. Fortune definitely hopes that I can get a good grade." Speaking of making a child, Zhou Bin's eyes lit up, and his expression was happy, like a teenager who is studying in high school, " He will be back in two days, and he will be angry if he sees that I haven't studied properly."

Qi Fen browsed through the cabinet carefully, but he didn't see any Chinese textbooks, presumably those textbooks were no longer in this bookcase.

Qi Fen was a little at a loss. He was worried that the lack of textbooks would have a negative impact on Zhou Bin. However, he soon discovered that his worries were completely mediocre, because Zhou Bin quickly forgot about this episode and slowly moved back to the living room. Sit back on the couch.

"It's time to eat." Sister Wang came out of the kitchen with the dishes and put them on the dining table.

A plate of fried shredded potatoes, a plate of Mushu meat, a bowl of stewed beef, and a pot of seaweed and egg yolk soup are very rich and attractive.

"It's so fragrant, it must be delicious." Qi Fen praised it sincerely.

He tried to help Zhou Bin to sit at the dining table, but was stopped by Sister Wang: "Leave him alone, you eat first, and I'll feed him later."

Qi Fen was surprised: "He can't eat by himself anymore?"

"I can't take care of myself in basic life." Sister Wang has a calm expression and is completely used to Zhou Bin's state.

While eating, Qi Fen watched as Sister Wang put a bib on Zhou Bin, served another bowl of rice, accompanied by vegetables and a small amount of meat, and patiently fed Zhou Bin spoon by spoon.

Zhou Bin was very cooperative with the feeding, chewing and eating slowly for a long time.

There is a black and white photo on the wall behind him. Zhou Bin in his twenties is standing behind his parents, and Zhou Bin's younger sister is standing on the other side. The four of them are well-dressed and looking at the camera with smiles.Zhou Bin wore the student hairstyle that was popular that year, and he was refreshed and energetic.

The young man's face reflected Zhou Bin's now aging face. The passage of time is merciless, but Zhou Bin's heart will never change.Even if he has forgotten his relatives and friends, the memory does not exceed half a minute, and he no longer even remembers the instinct of eating, he does not want to forget the person in his memory, and stays where he is for tens of seconds, waiting for him.

Qi Fen's nose was sore, and he faintly felt worthless for Zhou Bin.

All kinds of signs showed that that person had never come back since he left, only Zhou Bin foolishly thought that he would definitely come back.

There are so many forks in life, why did Zhou Bin choose a dead end?

Later, Sister Wang found a suitable nanny to take care of Zhou Bin, who was said to be more serious and responsible than Sister Wang.Zhou Bin received nutritional brain cell therapy on time, but he still couldn't stop the rapid deterioration of the disease.

Qi Fen, who has been busy for various reasons, never found a chance to visit Zhou Bin again, and did not know how he was doing recently.

So when Wei Kai invited Qi Fen to go with him this time, Qi Fen couldn't ask for more and immediately agreed.

"You have to be mentally prepared..." Wei Kai hesitated to speak.

Qi Fen asked worriedly: "Did something happen to Zhou Bin?"

Wei Kai sighed: "He has been bedridden for a long time now and has completely lost the ability to take care of himself in daily life. He was infected with pneumonia a few days ago and made things worse. I am afraid that time is running out."

"So fast, it's only been a few months?" Qi Fen felt unbelievable.

Wei Kai shook his head, sad but helpless: "Leaving earlier may be a relief for him. Now he is completely dependent on others to take care of him, and he has no quality of life at all."
