Chapter 679: Ossification [Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription]

"Doctor, what the hell is that...... That's not normal, right, that's not normal......"

In the brightly lit clinic room, Kevin Greer was looking at an X-ray on the doctor's office computer screen, and his parents, Sean and Helena, were also watching with a blank expression. And Morne Jackson, an orthopedic surgeon opposite, was also suspicious.

This is the latest X-ray of Kevin Greer's right hand, and the X-ray reveals all the bones inside the flesh.

There are 27 hand bones in a normal hand, including 8 carpal bones, 5 metacarpal bones, and 14 phalanges.

But in this X-ray on the computer screen, in addition to these normal bones, around them, there are also a little bit of bone-like objects in the places where the muscles, nerves, and muscles are healthy, and they seem to be loose bodies......

The number of these different bones, which could not be counted at a glance, was densely packed and seemed to be about to be connected.

"Yes, it's not normal...... Moun-Jackson looked at the X-ray, looked at the patient's right hand, and with the naked eye, he could see the abnormality there, the skin here and there was blackening, but it wasn't a blood clot, it looked like a pigmentation. The patient was unable to move his hand freely, the pain was unbearable, and he had been given painkillers.

"You said you played a game of baseball three days ago, and you pitched with your right hand, and it didn't feel right......" Morne-Jackson thought to himself.

"yes." Kevin Greer couldn't figure out what it was in his hand, inflammation?

"Dr. Jackson, my son is a very good pitcher...... "Shaun Greer said, "and his professor said he has the credentials to play professionally, and if he works harder, he has a good chance." Helena listened and nodded, "What's going on?" ”

"It's rare, but ......" Morne-Jackson was chilling because of a warning FBM had issued to hospitals and private clinics around the world a few days ago, "Kevin, is there anything wrong with you other than your right hand?" ”

"There are ......," Kevin Greer said, and his heart suddenly panicked a little inexplicably, "my back, my two calves...... My neck, I ......" he said as he touched the body parts, and the more he moved, the more he felt the tugging around, "I had that feeling of soreness and tiredness all over my body, but it didn't hurt......"

He hurriedly explained, as if to draw a clear line between his right hand and the rest of his body, "The right hand hurts when it moves, and it will get stuck when the movement is big, and it is different from other places, it's just soreness, I think it's the soreness caused by my poor sleep these days......"

Sean and Helena both sensed their son's nervousness, and they couldn't help but get nervous.

If it had been before, years ago, or a month ago, they wouldn't have been so nervous.

Because at that time, the "supernatural powers" had not yet manifested in this way, and they lived on an ignorant island, even if there was a storm outside the island, they did not know it, thinking that the island was the world, so they lived in peace.

But now, less than a week has passed since the "Ten Plagues of Egypt" that broke out around the world, and the New York side is still rebuilding and reconstruction.

As long as you turn on your phone, turn on the TV, and contact the Internet, you will be overwhelmed with these relevant information.

Those who were drenched in blood rained down all developed severe skin infections, and while fortunately there were medical treatments available, and some patients with mild infections were cured and discharged from the hospital, there were also patients with severe infections who died due to multi-organ failure caused by the inflammatory storm.

The world has become very dangerous. Or rather, the world has always been so dangerous, but the storm has finally begun to flood this ignorant island.

"Kevin......" Morne-Jackson stopped talking, and then looked at the worried parents, "Sean, Helena, the situation may not be so simple, not so good." ”

Hearing the doctor's words, the three members of the Greer family all changed their complexions, Helena prayed to God repeatedly, and Kevin was a little dazed.

"Kevin's case, I now suspect it's a rare disease called progressive muscular ossification, which is very, very rare."

Morne-Jackson explained to them that the soft tissues and muscles of the whole body gradually ossify after the onset of the disease, and finally the body becomes like a living stone sculpture. After the disease was identified, the number of confirmed cases in the world has not exceeded 1,000 in the past few decades. No surgery, no medication, no treatment.

"No, no......" muttered Kevin Greer, his voice gradually turning agitated, his face flushed with excitement, "Doctor, you are mistaken! ”

Don't say anything about playing professional baseball, can't even live a normal life, can only survive to be in your forties, can't walk, can't move......

Learn supernatural powers and be a superhero......

These thoughts flashed, and Kevin Greer excitedly grasped a little contradiction in Dr. Jackson just now, "You said that this disease is developing slowly, but I was fine three days ago, and now it's only three days, just three days!" Look at what has become of my hand, will it be so fast? ”

"yes." Sean immediately agreed with his son's words, and asked hopefully, "Dr. Jackson, shouldn't it be that disease?" ”

They are already trying to convince themselves that the incidence rate of 0.5 cases per million people is less than 1,000 cases diagnosed in decades, how could this happen.

"We don't have a genetic problem in our family." Helena also said, "Today is the first time I have heard of such a disease. ”

"Actually, I'm going to have to report Kevin's situation to FBM." Morne-Jackson said in a serious tone, explaining why he held this judgment, "A few days ago, FBM issued an early warning to the medical community that if there is a suspected patient with progressive muscular ossification, it must be reported immediately, and then they will take over. ”

When Kevin heard FBM, he was excited, but he immediately realized that he was not involved with FBM because of anything good.

Sean and Helena were stunned, and Helena's eyes were even redder, "Dr. Jackson...... What does this mean? Why FBM ......"

In fact, they themselves vaguely know the answer.

The disease...... What happened to Kevin may have something to do with supernatural forces, and it has something to do with the recent catastrophe.

"No, no......" Kevin Greer suddenly laughed, feeling that all these diagnoses were ridiculous, and shook his head,

"How could it be me, the last time I went to New York was a few years ago! I haven't done anything, it must not be like this, it must be Dr. Jackson you are mistaken...... What is fibrodysplasia...... Ossification, how do you say that disease? Definitely not ......"
