Chapter 1283
Summon Of The Sword
âI would rather Old Master Parker have myasthenia gravis.
âBut itâs obviously not that.â
Leonard shook his head slightly, still confident in his diagnosis.
All was well if Old Master Parker had myasthenia gravis.
It was because there was no precedent for curing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, as long as you received the right treatment for myasthenia gravis, you had a good chance of recovery.
As long as you controlled it well, you would be like a normal person.
However, Leonard had confirmed repeatedly that Old Master Parkerâs symptoms were not myasthenia gravis.
The others nodded in agreement with Leonard.
After all, Leonard and a dozen major hospitals had diagnosed the disease together.
Could they be no match for Sean?
âIf Dr. Wester insists and Old Master Parker is willing to believe him, I, Sean Lennon, will take back what I said and stay out of this.â
Sean did not bother to argue with Leonard. He just checkmated the crowd.
In short, if they believed Leonard, he had nothing to say.
Old Master Parker was now in a dilemma.
He believed in Leonardâs skills, after all.
However, seeing how confident Sean was, he was a little unsure.
âWhat if Leonard is wrong? What if Sean is telling the truth?
âWouldnât I have given up on my life if I didnât trust Sean?
âNo one will want to risk their lives!â
âDo you know what amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and myasthenia gravis are?
âOr do you think these two diseases are one disease?
âWhy donât you tell us the difference between the two diseases?â
Leonardâs granddaughter pointed at Sean and asked.
âThe cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is unknown. It usually starts from the hand. One hand will start getting immobilized as the muscles atrophy.
âThen it will gradually progress up to the upper arm and then the lower body. The patient will gradually lose the ability to move and even suffers respiratory paralysis.
âMyasthenia gravis is an acquired autoimmune disease that obstructs neuromuscular transmission, resulting in skeletal muscle contraction as the main symptom.
âIf left untreated, it will eventually worsen the muscle atrophy, causing difficulty in swallowing and even death.â
Sean told the crowd. As soon as he spoke, they changed their minds about him.
No one could call Sean a medical rookie based on his knowledge of these two conditions.
Leonardâs granddaughter was speechless because she had not learned much about medicine from him yet.
The other doctors glanced at each other and saw the seriousness in each otherâs eyes.
This young man, Sean Lennon, seems capable!
Leonard glanced quizzically at Sean.
âYou just said that there are many similarities between the two conditions.
âHow did you decide that Old Master Parkerâs condition is myasthenia gravis?â
Leonard asked quietly, frowning as he looked at Sean.
âAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a physical weakness that begins at the end of the limbs, limiting mobility.
âMyasthenia gravis does have a lot of similarities with it. But besides limb weakness, patients with myasthenia gravis also suffer from cramps, fatigue, difficulty speaking, and other symptoms.
âOld Master Parker has been lethargic since talking with us. Besides that, havenât you noticed that his speech has been slurred from time to time, Dr. Wester?â
Sean slowly turned his head to look at Leonard.
What he said was only from Old Master Parkerâs outward appearance.
He only confirmed it after feeling his pulse.
Hearing this, Leonard turned his head and examined Old Master Parkerâs mental state closely.
The more he looked, the more solemn he felt.
Apart from anything else, Seanâs meticulous observation and keen diagnosis were quite remarkable!
After Leonard examined him again, he knew that Sean was right.
