The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 1283

“I would rather Old Master Parker have myasthenia gravis.

“But it's obviously not that.”

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 Parker's 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?

“If 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.”

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 Leonard's skills, after all.

However, seeing how confident Sean was, he was a little unsure.

“What if Leonard is wrong? What if Sean is telling the truth?

“Wouldn't I have given up on my life if I didn’t trust Sean?

“No one will want to risk their lives!"

“Do you know what amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and myasthenia gravis are?
“Or do you think these two diseases are one disease?

“Why don't you tell us the difference between the two diseases?”

Leonard's granddaughter pointed at Sean and asked.

“The cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is unknown. It usually starts from the
hand. One hand will start getting immobilized as the muscles atrophy.

“Then 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.

“Myasthenia gravis is an acquired autoimmune disease that obstructs
neuromuscular transmission, resulting in skeletal muscle contraction as the main
symptom.

“If left untreated, it will eventually worsen the muscle atrophy, causing difficulty in
swallowing and even death.”

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.

Leonard's 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 other's
eyes.

This young man, Sean Lennon, seems capable!

Leonard glanced quizzically at Sean.

“You just said that there are many similarities between the two conditions.

“How did you decide that Old Master Parker’s condition is myasthenia gravis?”
Leonard asked quietly, frowning as he looked at Sean.

“Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a physical weakness that begins at the end of
the limbs, limiting mobility.

“Myasthenia 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.

“Old Master Parker has been lethargic since talking with us. Besides that, haven't
you noticed that his speech has been slurred from time to time, Dr. Wester?”
Sean slowly turned his head to look at Leonard.

What he said was only from Old Master Parker's outward appearance.

He only confirmed it after feeling his pulse.

Hearing this, Leonard turned his head and examined Old Master Parker's mental
state closely.

The more he looked, the more solemn he felt.

Apart from anything else, Sean’s meticulous observation and keen diagnosis
were quite remarkable!

After Leonard examined him again, he knew that Sean was right.
