"Doctor, what the are those ... that's not normal, right, that's not normal ..."
In this bright clinic office, Kevin Greer is looking at an X-ray result graph displayed on the computer screen of the doctor's office. His parents Sean and Helena are also watching beside them. Dazed. And the orthopedic surgeon Moen Jackson is also surprised.
This is the latest X-ray film of Kevin Greer's right hand, which reveals the bones in the flesh.
The normal hand has 27 hand bones, which are 8 wrist bones, 5 metacarpal bones, and 14 phalanges.
But in this X-ray film on the computer screen, in addition to these normal bones, there are a little bit of bone-like objects around them that are originally muscles, nerves, and muscles. It seems to be a free body ... …
The number of these different bones can't be counted at a glance in the past, densely packed, and it seems that they will soon be connected together.
"Yes, this is not normal ..." Moen-Jackson looked at the X-ray film and the right hand of the patient. He could see the abnormality there with naked eyes. The skin everywhere was dark, but not blood clots, but It is pigmentation. The patient's hand has been unable to move freely, the pain is unbearable, and has taken painkillers.
"You said that three days ago, you played a baseball, and you used your right hand to throw the ball, and it didn't feel right ..." Moen Jackson thought.
"Yeah." Kevin Greer couldn't figure out what it was in his hand, inflammation?
"Dr. Jackson, my son is a very good pitcher ..." Sean Greer said, "His professor said he is qualified to play professional games, and if he tries harder, there is a great chance." Helena nodded as she listened. ,"How is this going?"
"This kind of situation is very rare, but ..." Moen-Jackson was chilling because of an early warning issued by FBM to hospitals and private clinics a few days ago, "Kevin, in addition to your right hand, where are you like? Is that wrong? "
"Yes ..." Kevin Greer said so, his heart suddenly panicked, "My back, my two calves ... My neck, I ..." He said and touched these Body parts, the more I move, the more I feel pulling around, "I have that kind of sour and tired feeling all over my body, but it doesn't hurt ..."
He quickly explained, as if to draw a line between the right hand and the rest of the body, "The right hand is very painful, and the movement will be stuck. The other places are different, it is just sore, I think it is that I have slept these days It's so bad that it causes tiredness ... "
Both Sean and Helena sensed the tension of their son, and they could not help starting to get nervous.
If it was before, a few years ago, or a month ago, they would not be so nervous.
Because at that time, "supernatural forces" had not manifested like this recently. They lived on a small island of ignorance. Even if it was stormy outside the island, they did not know that the small island was the world, so they lived with peace of mind.
But now, the "Egyptian Ten Disasters" that broke out in the world have not been in the past week, and New York is still under rescue and reconstruction.
As long as the mobile phone is turned on, the TV is turned on, and the Internet is accessed, these related information are overwhelming.
Those who have been exposed to blood and rain have developed severe skin infection symptoms. Although fortunately, the existing medical methods can be cured, and some mild patients with minor infections have been cured and discharged, but there are also many patients with serious infections due to inflammatory storms. Organ failure and unfortunate death.
This world has become very dangerous. Or, the world has always been so dangerous, but the storm finally began to overwhelm this ignorant island.
"Kevin ..." Moen-Jackson stopped talking, and looked at the worried parents again, "Shawn, Helena, the situation may not be so simple, not so good."
Hearing the doctor's words, the Greer family changed their faces, and Helena prayed to God repeatedly, and Kevin was a little dazed.
"In the case of Kevin, I now suspect a rare disease called 'progressive musculoskeletal disease', which is very, very rare."
Moen Jackson explained this rare disease to them. After the onset of the disease, the soft tissues and muscles of the body will gradually ossify, and finally the body will become like a living stone carving. After the disease was confirmed, the number of global diagnoses has not yet exceeded 1,000 in the past few decades. No surgery, no medicine, no treatment.
"No, no ..." Kevin Greer murmured, his voice gradually agitated, his face flushed with excitement, "Doctor, you made a mistake!"
If you do n’t say anything about playing professional baseball, you ca n’t even live a normal life. You can only live in your forties, you ca n’t walk, you ca n’t move at all ...
Learn supernatural powers and be a superhero ...
These thoughts flashed, and Kevin Greer grabbed a little contradiction of Dr. Jackson just now, "You said that the disease developed chronically, but I was fine three days ago. It ’s just three days! Look at what my hand has become, will it be so fast? "
"Yeah." Sean immediately agreed with his son's words and asked hopefully, "Dr. Jackson, shouldn't it be that disease?"
They have already convinced themselves that the incidence rate of 0.5 cases per million people is less than a thousand cases diagnosed in a few decades. How could this happen?
"Our family has no genetic problems in this respect." Helena also said, "Today this is the first time I have heard of such a disease."
"In fact, I have to report Kevin's situation to FBM." Moen-Jackson said solemnly ~ EbookFREE.me ~ why he held this judgment, "A few days ago, FBM reported to the medical community An early warning has been issued, and if there is a suspected patient with progressive musculoskeletal disease, it must be reported immediately and then they will take over. "
Kevin heard FBM and flashed a bit of excitement, but immediately realized that his relationship with FBM was not because of a good thing.
Both Sean and Helena froze, and Helena ’s eyes were even more red.
Dr. Jackson ... what does that mean? Why FBM ...
In fact, they vaguely knew the answer themselves.
This disease ... what happened to Kevin may have something to do with supernatural powers and the recent catastrophe.
"No, no ..." Kevin Greer suddenly laughed, feeling that all these diagnoses were ridiculous, shaking his head,
"How could it be me, the last time I went to New York a few years ago! I haven't done anything, it must not be that way, it must be Dr. Jackson. You made a mistake ... what fiber dysplasia ... ossification , What's that sickness about? Certainly it won't be ... "
