In the clinic, the doctor took her ID card, retrieved her medical records from the system, read her self-introduction, and looked at the film and results again and again. He pointed to a certain place on the film and said, "You said that the place where you were injured in the car accident before is here, right?"

Wen Liang couldn't understand the film, so he pointed at his head and said, "Here."

The doctor stared at the film for a long time, looked at the CT scan and the MRI, and finally concluded, "It's nothing serious, the recovery is good, there will be no major problems in the future and there is no need for frequent checkups."

Why do you say the recovery is good?

Because he looked for a long time on the film but didn't see any signs of previous fractures.

Not only is there no where Wen Liang pointed, there is no where.

Of course, this depends on the timing and severity of the old injury and personal physical condition.

Generally, for severe fractures, the fracture line and increased density can be clearly seen on the film not long after a period of time.

The speed and efficiency of bone growth and repair vary depending on your physical condition. For some people, traces of old injuries can be seen in images even long after recovery, while others recover very quickly and due to the passage of time, no difference can be seen in the images.

This patient star named Wen Liang belongs to the latter.

The doctors found no signs of old injuries, and an MRI showed that the brain structure and function were intact.

It is highly likely that the injury was not serious at the time.

Wen Liang: "But I still can't remember those forgotten memories."

The doctor put down the film and pondered, "Memory is different for every patient. Some people can remember it in a few days, while others can't remember it for several years. In addition to physiological factors, it is also related to psychological factors. Just like a patient I treated before, he was sent to me for surgery after a car accident, and I was responsible for the follow-up. After he woke up, he forgot the memory of the car accident and didn't remember it for several years after he was discharged from the hospital. I also consulted a psychological expert, who said that he was too terrified and miserable when the car accident happened, and he selectively forgot about it. So, it's hard to say when his memory will be restored."

Wen Liang nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Then doctor, is there any way to help restore memory? For example, drugs or treatments?"

The doctor shook his head: "There is no specific medicine at present. If the amnesia is indeed caused by brain damage, the brain will repair itself over time; if it is caused by psychological factors, psychological counseling may be needed. However..."

He paused and said cautiously, "From your examination results, there are no obvious signs of brain damage. I suggest that if you really want to regain your memory, you can try to contact some objects and scenes from the past, or talk to familiar people. Sometimes external stimulation can help awaken memories."

Wen Liang: "I have revisited the place before, and the friends I met at that time also told me about what happened between us, but I still can't remember anything. I even get a headache when I think about it."

The doctor frowned upon hearing this. "It's hard to say. Maybe the memory was too painful and the brain activated a defense mechanism. If it doesn't affect your current life, I advise you not to be obsessed with restoring your memory."

"...Okay, thank you, doctor."

Wen Liang picked up the film and put it back into the bag. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, doctor, is there any artificial intervention method that can make people lose their memory, such as surgery, drugs, etc."

"Current medical technology is not yet able to achieve the effect of accurately clearing specific memories. Only some interventions can affect memory, such as temporal lobectomy, deep brain stimulation, and some drugs. However, these interventions are all for the treatment of other diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, major depression, epilepsy, etc."

The doctor pushed his glasses and his expression became serious: "Miss Wen, why do you ask this?"

Wen Liang does not have any of the above diseases. If someone uses the above intervention methods on her, it would involve illegal medical treatment and be illegal.

Wen Liang's fingers unconsciously tightened the bag of medical reports. "I recently discovered some strange things, so I'm quite curious."

The doctor smiled and said, "Can you share it with me?"

"It's actually very simple. I lost a part of my memory after a car accident. Not long ago, I suddenly found out that I have a five-year-old son who was born during that period of memory. Moreover, he has the rare Jk (ab-) blood type. He was in a car accident two days ago, and the police said that the driver had pancreatic cancer."

Doctor: "I seem to have heard that a special blood type was just discovered a few days ago, in our hospital?"

"Yes, that's him."

The doctor probably understood her concerns, "So, you want to remember your lost memories, and you suspect that the amnesia is man-made?"

"Um……"

The doctor looked at her thoughtfully for a while and said, "Bring out the film. I'll take a look at it."

Wen Liang took out the film and handed it to the doctor.

The doctor reviewed the film again and suddenly asked, "Miss Wen, do you still have the medical records of the car accident?"

Wen Liang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if the paper documents can be found. I have photos of the medical records on my phone."

As she spoke, she took out the photo and showed it to the doctor.

Although it is in English, doctors have no difficulty reading it.

He finished reading it and frowned, "Miss Wen, are you sure your amnesia was caused by the car accident?"

This question was like a sharp knife, piercing Wen Liang's heart unexpectedly.

Her pupils suddenly contracted: "What do you mean?"

"According to the records of the brain surgery you had after the car accident, it's impossible for the MRI to not show traces of the surgery." The doctor pointed to the image on the film in his hand, "And you mentioned that you get a headache whenever you think about the past. This is more like..."

"Like what?"

The doctor hesitated for a moment. "It's more like a somatic symptom caused by some kind of psychological suggestion. Simply put, someone makes you 'believe' that you have lost your memory. This strong psychological suggestion will lead to a physiological reaction."

Wen Liang's expression turned serious.

She remembered the sudden severe headache every time she tried to recall, as if there was an invisible barrier preventing her from touching certain memories.

"Of course, I'm not a psychiatrist, this is just my speculation." The doctor added cautiously, "If you really suspect that you have amnesia, I suggest you go to a professional psychological clinic for an evaluation. But..."

He paused, lowering his voice. “If there is a real possibility of human intervention, I suggest you proceed with caution. The means of manipulating memory usually involve some gray areas.”

Wen Liang was so surprised that he was a little dazed. He nodded mechanically and stood up in a trance. "Okay, thank you doctor. Please don't spread the matter I consulted today."

"Of course," the doctor replied.
