Chapter 2346: Psychic Assault (I)
"Good morning."
"Good morning. Oh, by the way, Doctor, is Duoan, the intern who came to your department yesterday, feeling better with his myocarditis? He collapsed downstairs earlier, and we were really scared."
"He's fine now. After discussing the situation with his family, he decided to take a year off. Now I only have 11 interns left."
"My God, I don't know how you managed to survive. Yesterday, an intern in our department cut a patient's finger when testing blood sugar. We received two complaints from the family members."
"Who hasn't made a fool of themselves during their internship?" Schiller said with a smile, "Speaking of internship jokes, the most common ones are in the surgery department. Maybe in a few days you'll see our Mr. Hand of God roaring in anger."
The female doctor opposite smiled, waved her hand at Schiller and said, "I'm going to go to the ward first. A mirror man was sent to ward 1032 today. I have to take those little bastards to see him, so that they won't make a fuss every day."
Schiller also waved goodbye to her and walked towards his office with the medical records. As soon as he sat down on the chair in the office, the phone rang.
"Hello, how are you?"
"Hello, this is the emergency room. A patient in her late pregnancy was found to have self-harm scars on her arms during a premature delivery operation. She may need urgent psychological intervention. Please go to the obstetrics department immediately. I repeat..."
Schiller put down the phone and hurried out the door, bumping into a figure head-on. Schiller stepped back and saw that it was an intern.
“Hello, Doctor. I have a few questions while listening to the recording of yesterday’s clinical intervention. I wonder when you…”
"Let's not talk about this for now. Come with me to the obstetrics department." Schiller walked out the door, and the intern hurried to follow him. Schiller said as he walked down the stairs, "A doctor found self-harm marks on the arms of a pregnant woman who was giving birth prematurely. What do you think the problem could be?"
"Antenatal anxiety? In fact, severe antenatal anxiety and depression may lead to premature birth, so early intervention and treatment are necessary. At the same time, if similar symptoms are found on the delivery table, emergency psychological intervention must be carried out to ensure that the pregnant woman's mental and emotional state is stable, so that hormone levels return to normal, and the incidence of postpartum depression can be effectively reduced..."
The intern answered clearly and concisely, and Schiller nodded in affirmation. But this was not surprising. After all, this was New York Presbyterian Hospital, and the doctors who were able to intern here had impeccable academic qualifications and abilities.
As for why Schiller suddenly returned to New York Presbyterian Church to work as a doctor, it was actually because of the current era background in New York.
Marvel's Earth's technology has grown explosively, and the amount of information people can obtain is also increasing. Even the already quite developed new media industry is somewhat unable to carry so much information, because in addition to information on Earth, people are also constantly obtaining information from the galaxy.
The official news from the three empires alone is so much that all the news media in the United States cannot broadcast it all in a 24-hour rotation, not to mention various cosmic events.
As productivity developed, various types of inter-air rail transportation systems replaced traditional transportation industries. The international situation changed very suddenly. People living in this era experienced earth-shaking changes in their lifestyles in just a few years.
This will inevitably lead to many problems, the first and foremost of which is the people's growing demand for psychological counseling.
In fact, the psychological counseling industry in the United States is quite developed and professional, probably 30 to 50 years ahead of most developing countries. People with a little assets will choose to make an appointment with a psychologist when they feel they have emotional problems.
As long as you are a licensed doctor, you will have about 20 to 30 visitors a week, and sometimes you will have to deal with five or six patients a day.
Because a psychologist is actually equivalent to a general practitioner of psychology. Psychological counseling is not as detailed as in a regular hospital. You go here for this illness and there for that illness. So it often takes several hours to examine a patient from beginning to end. The work intensity is not only not low, but often even exceeds the standard.
In times of change, people are always more confused. In the United States, which has a tradition of providing psychological counseling services, the number of people making appointments for psychological counseling, psychotherapy, and psychiatric examinations has increased tenfold during this period.
It is precisely because psychotherapy developed relatively early in the United States that the training for psychologists is quite professional, and more importantly, the assessment is very strict. Just to say one thing, all licensed psychologists have double master's and double doctoral degrees from prestigious universities.
Not to mention an ordinary undergraduate degree, an undergraduate degree from a prestigious university is not enough, not even a single master's or doctoral degree from a prestigious university. Even if you meet the academic requirements, you must have more than 3500 hours of clinical experience to be eligible to take the joint licensing examination.
This screening mechanism does make the level of practicing psychologists in the United States relatively high, but the terrible time and money costs involved stop most people who want to go this way.
An obvious contradiction is that if you want to graduate you have to study, but if you want to accumulate 3500 hours of clinical experience, you have to go out for an internship. If you study first and then do an internship, you will probably have to delay your graduation. Each year of delay means paying one more year of tuition, and the tuition for clinical psychology is even more expensive.
If you want to study and do an internship at the same time, what you are spending is not money, but your life.
So even though practicing psychologists in the United States make a lot of money, the number of people who can get a license is getting smaller and smaller every year. The vast majority of normal people have more cost-effective professions, and it is impossible for a licensed psychologist to have no love for this profession.
But now people's needs are growing, but there are fewer and fewer doctors. After all, doctors are free men and they can quit if they have too much work to do. However, ordinary people who cannot get formal psychological intervention because they cannot get a doctor may deteriorate from common anxiety, depression or just temporary emotional problems into aggressive mental patients.
In fact, SHIELD had discovered this a long time ago. Many times, when someone called the police to report a super-powered terrorist, the FBI transferred the case to them. When the SHIELD agents took a look, they found that this person was not a super-powered terrorist at all, but a complete psychopath.
It would have been fine if it happened once or twice, but one day, Nick wanted to send people to New Mexico to count the inventory, but found that all the agents had been sent out. He checked and found out that more than 20 agents had been sent there to deal with a major kidnapping case in the east city, and more than 10 agents had been sent to deal with a bomb terrorist attack in the west city.
If you ask why the FBI doesn't do anything, the answer is that they can no longer handle it. All kinds of serious crimes, big and small, broke out at the same time, just like a year-end performance boost.
Nick wasn't as dumb as the FBI, who treated the spike in crime as a natural phenomenon, but he knew that either someone was messing with this or something was wrong.
After a long search, I couldn't find the mastermind behind the incident. To be precise, the mastermind turned out to be me.
After interviewing several murderers, Nick discovered a common point: their mental states were not normal.
It was thought that it was the work of a super criminal with the ability to intervene mentally. The Purple Man was caught and beaten. Finally, Schiller analyzed it and found that it had nothing to do with mind control. It was simply because of the changing times that led to frequent psychological and emotional problems, and the number of psychologists could not keep up, which led to the customs of New York beginning to approach Gotham.
But Gotham is getting better now, but New York is not experiencing the Renaissance. A group of people did some research and found that manipulating public opinion to appease the public is not very effective and that specialized treatment is needed.
The quality of doctors who graduated from the previous psychologist assessment program is indeed high. No matter what difficult or complicated disease it is, as long as you can make an appointment and go to the doctor on time, after one course of treatment, there will definitely be a big improvement, if not a complete cure, at least it will not get worse.
But the problem is that the number of people bred in this way is too small. Compared with the current number of patients suffering from the disease, it is not even enough to fill the gaps. SHIELD can only try every possible means and start lobbying Congress.
Things like lowering tuition fees, reducing tuition loan interest rates, and relaxing entry barriers are all long-term plans. If we want to see results in the short term, we have to start by replenishing the staff with these interns who are about to graduate.
To be honest, considering the education standards of top American universities, none of the interns who reach the stage of taking the license exam are weak. There are also many people who have practiced for more than 1000 hours and basically know everything, and the rest are just wasting time.
Therefore, we should first shorten the internship period, then relax the entry threshold, and at the same time bring back working doctors to teach, help interns get enough supervision time, and let them learn more real things in a short period of time, so as to solve such problems more efficiently.
The so-called supervision time is actually one of the requirements for clinical internship time. Simply put, the clinical internship conducted with on-site guidance is called supervision time, which is generally around 400 to 500 hours.
However, this aspect is often very strict. It takes two people standing together for an hour to be counted, and dozens of minutes are not counted. Not to mention that there is also a link called self-perception before participating in the internship, which is that the interns go to see a psychologist on their own. If they do not see a psychologist for enough time, they cannot participate in the internship.
Most of the practicing psychologists are still burdened with loans. If they don't open private clinics to make big money, how could they stay in your hospital or school as a small doctor or professor?
This leads to an extreme shortage of teaching staff, which in turn causes the graduation rate to drop further, to as low as 40% in one year. Only 50% of all students can successfully graduate that year. For those who stay to study for another year, the graduation rate in the second year may be less than %. You can read this book, and no one will say a word.
There is no other way in this situation except to pay the money. Whoever is willing to go back to the hospital and school to take care of the students will have their tuition loans waived.
Some people may think that with such few welfare conditions, it is impossible to lure practicing physicians who are earning high salaries abroad to come back, but don’t forget how expensive tuition fees are in the United States.
Taking Columbia University and Northwestern University, which are both well-ranked in the United States, as an example, the tuition for psychology graduate students is $7 and $8 respectively per year. Traditional prestigious universities such as Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Princeton also charge around $5 to $6. Even if you can graduate normally, you will have a student loan of at least $ the moment you graduate.
Psychologists have high incomes, but don't forget that the interest rate on graduate student tuition loans is around 7%. Unless you can pay off the loan in full within three years, many people end up paying off more and more money after a long time. Many people's children have gone to college, but their student loans have not yet been repaid.
Therefore, student loan relief is very attractive to many practicing psychologists. At this time, SHIELD has thrown out another tempting chip, which is the currently popular interstellar sociology.
