59: Chapter 59: Consciousness Really Changed Reality

It was late at night.

Jingdu Military Hospital was one of the largest and most authoritative hospitals in Jingdu.

Inside the office of the veteran Dr. Li Yang.

On the computer screen.

He looked at the detailed information about the placebo effect and the livestream link sent by Professor Chen Runzhi.

His face was full of contempt.

After watching for a while, he instantly closed Jiang Zhe's livestream.

"Simply grandstanding!"

With a look of disdain on his face,

"A mere internet streamer putting on a gimmick, talking about things like [Information Water] and the [placebo effect]."

"And something about [Consciousness Changing Reality]."

"A total clown!"

Before this military medical expert who had been a materialist for forty years...

Jiang Zhe's actions were nothing more than charlatanry—a performance!

He didn't deny that psychological suggestion was indeed effective for patients, but it was by no means as miraculous as shown in the video!

It was even more impossible for a cup of water and a single deceptive trick to make a patient recover!

However...

Out of boredom, he really wanted to try it, or rather, to expose Jiang Zhe's methods.

He picked up the intercom and called over the intern, Xiao Zhang.

"Xiao Zhang, regarding the patient with malignant migraines in Bed No. 5, you..."

"Replace his IV drip with a common nutrient solution and tell him it's a [Super Special Medicine] imported from abroad."

"Tell him that no matter the pain, it will cure his chronic ailment in a very short time."

"And observe the patient's reaction carefully!"

About ten minutes later.

Intern Xiao Zhang returned to report: "Director Li, the patient says the medicine is useless; the malignant pain is still recurring."

"Just as I thought!"

Dr. Li gave a bored smile.

At the same time, his evaluation of Jiang Zhe sank into the mud.

"Truly a clown; this is completely useless!"

He had already judged—

That Xiao Yu and Xiaoyu's brother were just putting on a well-rehearsed performance!

"I can't let someone like this harm people..."

Just as he was about to pick up the landline to call a junior in the Cybersecurity Department to ban Jiang Zhe.

Suddenly!

His heart trembled.

A strange feeling washed over him.

"Old Chen told me to try it myself. I'll go try it personally first."

He left the office, deciding to personally find a patient with severe anxiety accompanied by angina.

Reaching the ward, he explained with a look of certainty:

"Ma'am, this is a [New Special Medicine] imported from the USA. Just one pill."

"The pain in your body will be relieved within minutes!"

Dr. Li personally fed the old woman a solution made from a dissolved vitamin tablet.

The result...

Minutes later.

The old woman's reaction was exactly the same.

"Little Li, this special medicine is useless. Is it a fake imported medicine?"

Having received the answer.

Dr. Li completely sentenced Jiang Zhe to death in his heart.

placebo effect, akashic records, zero-point field—whatever.

It was clearly just a pseudoscience streamer putting on a show with his sister!

In the face of practice, it was not worth mentioning at all!

However...

Intern Xiao Wang, who was cleaning Dr. Li's office.

He was a fan of Xiaoyu's brother's livestream.

To defend the legitimacy of Xiaoyu's brother, he had carefully watched the recordings of Jiang Zhe's stream.

Especially the dialogue between Jiang Zhe and Xiao Yu...

Especially Jiang Zhe's certain expression, as if he were stating an iron law.

And...

Xiao Yu's unreserved belief, even her adoration and fanatical trust!!

He somewhat hesitantly proposed his idea to Dr. Li:

"Director Li, maybe it's effective."

"I've carefully watched the recordings of Xiaoyu's brother's stream."

"I think it might not be about what the [medicine] is, but whether the [person] prescribing it believes the medicine in their hand is effective."

"When you were feeding the medicine to that lady earlier, you didn't actually believe in it in your heart."

"And whether the patient trusts you, the doctor, with their whole heart regarding the effectiveness of the medicine."

"To put it simply: if you don't believe it yourself and the patient doesn't believe it either, it equals failure."

"Look at the interaction between Xiaoyu's brother and Xiao Yu in the video."

"Xiao Yu had almost no hesitation; her face didn't even hide her trust and adoration."

"This [trust] is not something an ordinary person can achieve."

"I study both medical theory and physics. It's like that saying in Quantum Mechanics:"

"[As long as you believe in something unswervingly until the end, even at the brink of life and death, without wavering from your original thought, then that thing will inevitably come true!]"

"If we translate that here, it would be—[Drug Duality]."

"As long as you [firmly believe] this medicine is effective, then when you provide it to the patient, your [belief] becomes an [observation]."

"Ultimately, an effect is determined from [success] and [failure], and it will inevitably be [success]!"

Listening to Intern Xiao Wang's explanation, Dr. Li frowned deeply.

He really wanted to refute it, but considering that Xiao Wang indeed studied both physics and medical theory...

And seeing his solemn gaze, plus the two previous failures...

What if it worked?

He decided to try one more time!

At 2:30 in the morning.

He invited another veteran director on duty: Director Liu.

He did not tell Director Liu the purpose of the experiment.

Dr. Li handed Director Liu a white bottle of vitamin tablets with the label torn off.

"Old Liu, please go to Patient No. 27—the young soldier who suffered nerve damage from a gunshot wound to the head—and tell him—"

"This is a [Special Medicine] our hospital imported from abroad."

"A special medicine specifically for repairing cranial nerves—it has a very high content of brain-derived neurotrophic factor!"

"Tell him that at first, he will feel intense pain in his head, but the pain will disappear very quickly, and it will slowly repair over time."

Director Liu looked confused...

Why wasn't I contacted in advance when such a medicine was imported from abroad?

Honestly!

Out of trust for Old Li, he took the bottle of medicine to Patient No. 27's ward.

Coming to the patient's bedside, his tone was very firm, and his expression was somewhat excited.

He completely believed that this medicine could truly save people!

After hearing Director Liu's words, the young soldier wept with joy.

He had thought he would have to suffer from this pain intermittently forever.

He hadn't expected there to really be a medicine in the world that could solve his difficult condition!

The young soldier took the special medicine with absolute trust.

The result...

Something inconceivable happened.

About thirty minutes later.

The nurse in charge of Patient No. 27 reported...

That young soldier really did experience intense pain first, then fell into a short nap.

After waking up, the intense head pain that had originally plagued him quickly disappeared!!!

Standing outside the one-way transparent glass of the ward, Dr. Li and several interns were all dumbfounded.

A terrifying feeling...

Spontaneously arose!

Vitamin tablets actually produced an effect?

Just because Director Liu believed it was real, and the patient also believed it was real?

Outside the ward.

There was a dead silence.

Only Director Liu, who had just returned from the restroom, looked at the shocked and stunned Dr. Li and the others.

He walked over curiously.

"What's wrong?"

"What's with you guys? Didn't the medicine just take effect?"

"The effect was indeed very good, but you don't need to be this surprised, do you?"

As he finished speaking.

Dr. Li's mouth hung open as he looked at Director Liu with a face full of horror.

"Old Liu, actually, that bottle of medicine I gave you was..."

"Vitamin tablets!"

At these words, the veteran Director Liu looked bewildered. "Vitamin tablets? What do you mean?"

"I'm saying that the special medicine I gave you for Patient No. 27's brain damage was actually just a bottle of vitamin tablets!"

Hearing this, Director Liu also joined the ranks of the shocked.

"Are you kidding me? Vitamin tablets have that kind of effect?"

"I'm really not kidding!"

Dr. Li's heart was in a mess as he pulled out his phone and handed it to Director Liu. "See for yourself."

After finishing reading.

Director Liu's worldview...

Collapsed!

"Xiao Yus... Brother!!!"
