[Comprehensive British and American] The villain is also looking for a job today

Coulson, an attending dermatologist at the New York Medical Center, was also one of the members of the expert team established to treat Casey.This is the third day of Casey's hospitalization. Compared with yesterday, their hospital alone has admitted another 3 patients with similar symptoms.According to the population base of New York, at least more than 19 patients have been added today.

Their inpatient department has all been vacated for such patients. A total of 51 patients were admitted including Casey.

Coulson rubbed his eyes tiredly. He didn't sleep much in the past 3 days, and he didn't have time to go home, so he could only make do with rest in the office.The reason is Tony Stark's pressure on the hospital.

He was actually very upset. Without Stark's involvement, Casey would have been hospitalized normally or sent in similar patients, and he would not have been so mobilizing, let alone set up an expert group.

He felt that Stark was a little nervous, but he was the biggest sponsor of the hospital. For the dean, Stark's words were more effective than God.So Coulson had to be trapped in the hospital and pretend to be very caring.

The medical records on the table have been turned over countless times, and many examinations have also been done.This disease does have the typical symptoms of skin diseases, but it is not viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic, nor allergic, autoimmune, physical, hereditary skin tumors, etc.

It can be said that all the inspections that need to be done and those that are not needed have been done all over, but the result is still-nothing is found out, and the physical indicators, data, and filming results are all normal.

Coulson even felt that it was more like a mental illness, similar to a hypochondriac.But even if the pressure of life in New York is great enough, it is not likely that so many hypochondriacs will burst out all at once.

When it was time for ward rounds again, Coulson sighed and walked towards the ward.

I met the dean in the corridor, he patted Coulson on the shoulder, and the two walked side by side to the independent ward.

Casey's condition still hasn't improved. Although the erythema on her face has not expanded or changed, her spirit is on the verge of collapse due to the constant itching of the wall crack.

Moreover, she didn't have any relatives or friends in the United States, and she was forced to suspend work after getting sick, and she was also under great psychological pressure. The agent only came once on the first day and never showed up again.

Coulson also sympathized with her, but...

As soon as the two reached the door, the door was knocked open, and the unkempt Casey pushed open the door of the ward with bare feet and wanted to hit the wall.

She screamed: "Please, let me die. It's too painful, it's really painful..."

Coulson quickly grabbed her by the shoulders, and the dean and the nurse who came after her also stepped forward to help, and pushed Kathy back.

In desperation, the nurse had to put on a restraint belt again, and Kathy lowered her head, tears rolling down from her eyes.

As a result of her self-harm, the walls of the ward were covered with upholstery.It is impossible for her to use the restraint belt 24 hours a day, and she has to take it off when she eats and goes to the bathroom, so when she took it off for her meal just now, Kathy ran out.

The dean said: "Go to closed therapy."

Coulson hesitated to speak, block therapy refers to the injection of different doses and concentrations of local anesthesia into the tissue, using the effect of local anesthesia to reduce local lesions, thereby promoting a treatment method for the recovery of the disease.

However, there was no abnormality in the examination report, which means that Cayce is not called a "disease" in medicine. Coulson felt that the effect of block therapy was very small, and rashly using block therapy without knowing the condition of the disease would cause serious illness. What the consequences will be is still unknown.

But since the dean said this, he, a small attending, has no right to refute.Probably because Tony Stark is coming at night, the dean wants to show that the medical center has active treatment.

After the afternoon meeting, Coulson came to Casey's ward again.

He was thinking in front of the ward, and the dean hurried over from the end of the corridor, frowning and asked, "Is it closed?"

Seeing him shaking his head, he urged repeatedly: "Call now. Stark will be at the hospital in 10 minutes!"

Coulson sighed and walked into the ward.

As soon as Casey saw him, he immediately became emotional, his body was restrained by the restraint belt, so he could only whimper softly: "Doctor, help me..."

He comforted in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid of Casey, your erythema shows no sign of expanding."

Casey couldn't listen at all, and kept shaking her head: "No, no... It's too itchy, it's too itchy, I wish I could die now!"

Coulson quickly cut to the topic: "Then I have a treatment plan now, which is to inject an anesthetic into your face, and your face will not feel anything for a short time."

When she heard that there would be no sensation on her face, Casey nodded repeatedly and said vaguely: "Hit, hit. I agree, as long as it can be cured."

Coulson injected the anesthesia into Kathy's face, she frowned and lay on the bed without speaking, making it difficult to know the effect for a while.

He waited quietly for a while, feeling that he wanted to give the patient confidence, so he said: "After the anesthesia is administered, your face will not feel anything, and it will definitely not itch."

At this time, someone knocked on the glass of the ward, and he raised his head to see that Tony Stark and the dean had arrived. He explained a few words to the nurse and got up and walked out of the room.

The dean is introducing their new treatment to Tony.Tony pointed at his chin, wondering what he was thinking.

Casey in the ward didn't know that the doctor had left, she kept telling herself in her heart, I won't feel anything now, I don't feel itchy anymore, no more...

After a few seconds, the itching that made her collapse really disappeared!It's like being in a room full of noise, and the ears that have been devastated by the noise for several days suddenly find peace. The first reaction is that I can't believe it, and even have hallucinations and auditory hallucinations.

But it was true, she really didn't feel the itch anymore.She let go of her clenched fists, because her face was so itchy, and Kathy had to keep digging her palms with her nails to distract her attention, and only then did she feel pain in her palms.

She opened her eyes and went crazy with excitement: "It doesn't itch anymore, I don't itch anymore!"

Kathy then said to the nurse: "Untie me soon, I really don't itch anymore." She felt as happy as in heaven.

People outside also noticed, and everyone could see what Casey's expression meant. Could it be that closed therapy really worked?

The nurse untied Kathy's restraint belt, she sat up, then got out of bed and walked to the window of the isolation ward, smiling at Dr. Coulson, anyone could feel how happy the girl was.

Kathy was dancing, and suddenly, she felt an even more crazy itching from every pore, as if every cell was itching.From the tranquility, it suddenly changed back to what it was before, even more itchy than before, and she howled irrationally at all.

It was a torture, a torture that would never end, a torture that was useless no matter how hard she struggled.

Casey stretched out her hand and scratched it up and down crazily...until the intruding doctor held her hand down. The moment her hand was caught, the itchiness on her face pierced back and forth like thousands or thousands of needles. over her skin.

No one can resist such torture.

Casey would rather die, really die.

The thought of her biting her tongue to kill herself was keenly noticed by Coulson, but it was half a step too late. Coulson stuffed his fingers into her mouth, and the blood continued to flow out. Her eyes turned white, and her face was difficult to distinguish. humanoid.

Her determination was so firm, but her body's survival instinct still saved her a step, and her tongue was only bitten off in half, although she didn't know if being alive was a good thing for Casey.

The nurses put Kathy in the restraints as usual, but this time something was wrong.After Kathy couldn't scratch, her EKG rang frantically, and everyone present could feel the pain she was going through even without looking at the equipment.

Coulson's heart tightened, the situation had gone from bad to worse.Block therapy not only failed, but also made the condition worse, and now Casey's body can't bear it if he can't scratch.

He quickly started to untie the restraint belt. Casey was already unconscious, but immediately stretched out his hand to scratch the bruised face, turning out the bloody flesh was shocking.But after being able to scratch, Casey's body became more relaxed.

Coulson looked at Casey numbly, a deep sense of powerlessness surrounded him.

What kind of disease is this?Is there a cure for this disease?Can it only make the patient itch to death?

Nurses were on hand to help him with Kathy's bitten finger.

The dean is explaining to Tony: "Although something happened, it did stop the itching for a period of time, which shows that this therapy is meaningful."

He was still talking.

There was an unknown fire in Coulson's heart. He turned around, took a deep breath and said, "It makes sense? Didn't you see that it stopped for a minute, but the rebound after that was unbearable for the patient! And the condition worsened." Seriously."

"Kathy, she nearly died just now! Can we just face it? This is a disease we can't fix!"

Regardless of the dean's pale reprimand, he looked into the eyes of the famous Tony and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Stark, I must say that doctors cannot cure this disease. They can't even relieve the patient's pain."

Their medical center is one of the three best in the United States, and he is also the best doctor in the hospital.

But all he could do now was to admit feebly, in defeat - there was nothing they could do, they had to admit defeat.

To his surprise, Tony didn't question or reprimand him, but nodded silently, as if he knew about it a long time ago.
