Listening to Ye Ning's words, Tang Shuang and Ma Rongbin's eyes lit up.

However, although they believe in Ye Ning's medical skills, ALS is one of the five terminal diseases after all, and they are still a little apprehensive.

Ma Rongbin asked curiously: "Ye Ning, can you really treat ALS?" ”

Tang Shuang's face was also full of curiosity: "I know that some time ago, many people challenged the ice bucket, but it is not clear what ALS is all about, as the name suggests, is it possible that the whole body of a sick person is as cold as an ice cube?" ”

Ye Ning smiled and explained: "ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as motor neuron disease, has mild early symptoms and is easy to be confused with other diseases. Patients may only feel some symptoms such as weakness, flesh jumping, and fatigue easily, and gradually progress to generalized muscle atrophy and difficulty swallowing. Strictly speaking, it is actually the damage of upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons, resulting in gradual weakness and atrophy of the muscles including the bulbar (the so-called bulbar refers to the part of the muscles innervated by the medulla), limbs, trunk, chest and abdomen. I'm not absolutely sure about this disease, but I can try it. ”

Ma Rongbin and Tang Shuang both showed a sudden realization, they didn't know what the symptoms of ALS were, they only knew that it was one of the five terminal diseases.

Ma Rongbin suddenly asked: "I heard that the world-famous physicist Stephen Hawking also has this kind of ALS, if you overcome this problem, it won't even be able to treat Hawking's disease." ”

Tang Shuang showed excitement: "Yes, if you even cure Hawking's illness, it will definitely shock the world." ”

Ye Ning's eyes lit up, the so-called merit, in fact, can also be called merit in simple terms, the same is to cure diseases and save people, treat different diseases and save different people, then the merit is not the same, if you save an unknown child, then the merit is limited, if you cure a person who has made great contributions to the world, then the merit should also increase. Stephen Hawking is recognized as one of the most outstanding physicists after Newton and Einstein, known as the "King of the Universe", and his contribution to the world is self-evident.

Hawking, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a legend, at the age of 21, he unfortunately suffered from Lou Gehrig's disease, which causes muscle atrophy, so he was confined to a wheelchair, only three fingers can move, the disease has severely deformed his body, his head can only be tilted to the right, his shoulders are low left and right high, his hands are tightly in the middle, he holds a palm-sized onomatopoeia keyboard, his feet are twisted inward, his mouth has been almost crooked into an S-shape, as long as he smiles slightly, he will immediately appear to "grin". This has become his iconic image.

However, despite being confined to a wheelchair for 50 years, he overcame his disability to become a supernova in the international physics community. He could not write, or even slurred his words, but he went beyond the theories of relativity, quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang to enter the "geometric dance" of creating the universe - without boundary conditions. Despite his helpless confinement in a wheelchair, his mind transports people to the vastness of time and space, solving the mysteries of the universe.

Hawking's charm lies not only in the fact that he is a legendary physical genius, but also because he is a convincing powerhouse in life. His scientific spirit of constant exploration and courageous and tenacious personality deeply attracted everyone who knew him.

Ye Ning admired such a genius very much, even if it was not for merit, Ye Ning was willing to save him.

Of course, the premise is that Ye Ning can really treat ordinary ALS, otherwise it would be impossible for Hawking's condition to be solved for more than 50 years.

He also had this disease, and he was confined to a wheelchair for half a century, and no one has been able to cure it. (To be continued......)
