This time, doctors who came on behalf of traditional Chinese medicine were the best in the industry. Every attending physician was at least at the level of a professor. But now they were stumped by a small muscle spasm. They did not doubt at all that if this matter was spread out, they would definitely be laughed at.
"Muscle spasms?" Henry smiled and turned to look at Dr. Johann. "I don't think your medical ethics taught you how to mislead other doctors?"
Dr. Johann's face changed and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
Henry opened his mouth and said, "The medicine you injected is not one of the medicines known to the market, but a kind of energy drug named POWER. I remember that this is how it is translated into English. If you call it by its name, it should be called KRAFT, which in Chinese means strength. This drug contains something similar to a stimulant, which dilutes the violent effect so that it can expand the human body's muscles and vessels. In this case one can have more power and strength than usual over one to six months, isn't it?"
Dr. Johann's face changed. He didn't respond to Henry's question, because he knew clearly that the Chinese man in front of him was right.
After hearing Henry's words, President Ma had some speculations in his mind and said, "Magical doctor, you said it could expand the muscles of the human body, could it be..."
"Yes." Henry nodded. "The patient's disease is not a simple muscle spasm at all. It's a rare blockage of meridians. Everyone knows that the meridians go through the human body and if the meridians are blocked, it would make his arms unable to exert strength and certain parts of the body would go numb."
"Blocked meridians? I've only read about it in medical books," said the middle-aged female doctor.
"That's why it's rare." Henry shrugged his shoulders, walked to the patient, and asked, "This isn't your first time to see this doctor, is it? How long have your symptoms lasted?"
The patient nodded slightly. "About three years ago, I was unable to move my hands. I made an appointment with Dr. Johann. Every time I came to see Dr. Johann, the disease would disappear, but it would recur again in four to five months."
Hearing this, several Chinese doctors looked at Dr. Johann.
Dr. Johann's face was a little embarrassed. He brought his old patient to this exchange meeting, which was not fair.
Henry grabbed the patient's wrist and felt the patient's pulse for 30 seconds. "Your meridians expanded heavily in a short period of time because of the drug injection. When the effect of the drug disappeared, your meridians became more and more blocked. And because of long-term injection, your body has a certain resistance to POWER. I think that you are somewhat immune to alcohol when you drink, aren't you?"
"Yes, yes." The patient nodded repeatedly. "The last time I drank, it made me feel like I wouldn't get drunk even after drinking a thousand cups of wine."
Henry said, "POWER is a new kind of hybrid drug. Your body will naturally generate resistance. In the past, a drug could temporarily expand your meridians, but now, one is far from enough. But with your current physical condition, to be exact with two conditions, with all due respect, your body can bear it, but your heart can't."
"What do you mean that his heart can't bear it?" Dr. Johann asked immediately.
"His pulse has been leaping for 210 times a minute, which is more than a double for an ordinary person. I think you can tell if I am lying by checking it." Henry put down the patient's hand.
