189 Consciousness
Chairman Kang sighed. The moment he heard Wang Jian say it was an illness of consciousness, his heart sank with regret.
An illness of consciousness was a type of psychosomatic illness, and treatment had to start from the mind. This was actually quite common. For example, Chairman Kang once heard his grandfather describe a patient who believed he had a serious illness. The patient had scratched his own body raw and, despite there being no allergens, suffered from constant allergic reactions.
Later, it was discovered that the illness was psychogenic, and it was cured by taking vitamins. The patient didn't know they were vitamins because the doctor had told him it was a special, powerful anti-allergy medication. After he recovered, the doctor gradually revealed the truth, and the patient was able to move past his condition, never relapsing again.
