The automated doorways of the neuro clinic opened.

Dowook, who led the way in which,  walked in and located outsiders who didn’t seem like sufferers within the lounge and reflexively hid Ko Yoon-ah behind him.

“Wait. I believe they’re reporters.”

Dowook thought he had reacted rapidly, however Ko Yoon-ah was seen by the reporters.

“Ko Yoon-ah!”

At one particular person’s cry, about 10 folks approached the doorway without delay. Surrounded by reporters, the skilled Dowook tried to flee from the siege.

“They’re my sponsors, physician.”

Then, Ko Yoon-ah’s voice stopped him.

To Ko Yoon-ah, who was bowing, the go well with man who was on the forefront spoke first.

“I am Shin Jung-chul, head of the market workforce at Juno Sports activities. I contacted you after studying the article, however you did not reply. Is it true that you simply had been recognized with a psychological sickness that would finish your profession at Melbourne Hospital in Australia?”

“I am unsure in regards to the article, however I used to be recognized with stress-induced fibromyalgia in Melbourne.”

“Actually? You need to have advised me the reality earlier than renewing the sponsorship contract. The corporate goes loopy proper now. The particular promotion plan for the Lunar New 12 months was additionally fully stopped.”

She bowed her head at Shin Jung-chul’s lamenting phrases, and there was a reprimand within the different’s tone.

“Our WestFace cannot afford to sponsor unpopular sports activities. We signed the contract solely as a consequence of Athlete Ko Yoon-ah, however what if you cannot play within the recreation?”

“The identical goes for Nissan. Does it make sense for a tennis ball firm to be promoted by a non-tennis participant?”

Ko Yoon-ah’s head bowed down an increasing number of. Those that questioned the lack of picture continued.

Dowook could not communicate swiftly when he noticed Ko Yoon-ah’s bag on her shoulder and the brand of the train jacket she was carrying was ‘JUNO.’

‘I heard that sports activities even have fairly difficult hierarchies. To truly see it in particular person like this.’

Ko Yoon-ah, who solely apologized quietly, was clearly in a decrease place.

“You will must take duty for this. Though you made it to the semifinals of a significant match, how lengthy do you assume the subject will final? A participant made it to the semifinals within the males’s singles prior to now. Who remembers him now? Get up and cope with it, Ko Yoon-ah. Luck would not final lengthy.”

Ko Yoon-ah’s eyes rapidly turned crimson on the harsh phrases thrown at her.

‘Hmm…….’

Dowook had additionally learn in a earlier Olympic particular article that if sponsorship was lower off for athletes enjoying unpopular sports activities, they might not be capable of prepare correctly or take part in video games at will.

Nonetheless, seeing them assault Ko Yoon-ah, who had seemed on the tennis court docket so longingly and emitted an amazing particular sense, Dowook could not keep nonetheless.

“Everybody, please act just like the adults you’re.”

Everybody despatched Dowook an aggravated look..

The truth that she was 20 years previous this yr meant that she was the identical age as the youngsters from the bus accident who took their CSATs final yr. This was not the therapy that an individual who educated so exhausting that she had such a high-quality sense on the age of 20 ought to obtain.

Dowook calmly spoke to them, who had been extra nervous about their losses than in serving to a younger participant.

“Myeong Sae Hospital has not but recognized Ko Yoon-ah with a psychological stress dysfunction.”

“The hospital that makes a speciality of treating athletes has already confirmed and introduced it, what provides you the correct to overturn it?”

Dowook turned to have a look at the person who raised his voice straight away.

“What do you do for a residing?”

“I am the pinnacle of Dongshin Distribution’s public relations workplace.”

“Oh, PR supervisor. I assumed you had been a distinguished physician since you had been extra sure in regards to the sickness than I used to be.”

“What?”

“Ko Yoon-ah’s signs contain very uncommon neuralgia. It would not match with fibromyalgia. Regardless of the Australian specialised hospital says, I strongly deny the analysis.”

Ko Yoon-ah’s eyes barely grew huge at Dowook’s declaration.

“For those who do not intervene with my examination, I am going to inform you the precise title of the illness in a number of hours, so please wait till then earlier than you get offended. I believe you must put together an apology. And that is an off-limits space aside from sufferers and medical employees.”

Pointing towards the exit, Dowook shouted.

“Dr. Nam! Lead these reporters outdoors! In the event that they resist, name safety!”

The pinnacle of Dongshin Distribution’s public relations workplace checked out Dowook and walked out of the clinic. The remainder of the sponsors adopted go well with.

Dowook talked to Ko Yoon-ah, who was crouched down.

“Are you alright?”

“I’m sorry.”

“You’re not sick since you need to be, so you do not have to be sorry about that. Another factor as a physician who is aware of tennis is I’ve by no means met somebody with as nice of a se… umm, ability as Ko Yoon-ah.”

She didn’t totally perceive this consolation precisely, however the tears that fashioned round Ko Yoon-ah’s eyes disappeared as if she had discovered some stability.

Contained in the clinic’s diagnostic space.

“You imply she’d already obtained a analysis of fibromyalgia?”

Dowook nodded at Professor Lee Received Seok’s query and detailed the ache he’d skilled with Ko Yoon-ah’s sense.

Ache that poked the nerve line connecting the elbow, again, and cervical backbone.

“…… to the vertebrae. I believe there’s an issue, particularly with the outer cortical spinal twine linked to the correct arm fibrous nerve.”

“That is smart.”

Professor Lee blanked out the chart house ready for the fibromyalgia examination and wrote a brand new chart.

“We have to urgently specify the lesion space for a exact analysis.”

“Let’s additionally contact Melbourne Hospital to get Ko Yoon-ah’s examination chart. The time distinction there…….”

Ko Yoon-ah, who was staring blankly at Dowook explaining her ache with extra element and professionalism than herself, got here to her senses and replied in a rush.

“It is two hours sooner than Korea.”

“Actually? There’s not a lot distinction. Professor Lee. If the trigger is specified, it will likely be attainable to substantiate by cross-verification of each information.”

Professor Lee, who was engaged on the examination schedule step-by-step in line with Dowook’s phrases, spoke quietly.

“The extra I see you at work, the extra I am stunned. How can such an in depth guess be made with only a questionnaire?”

After three months of recognizing and utilizing different folks’s senses by his personal nerve path, Dowook was capable of exactly pinpoint the areas that harm when abnormal folks had been solely capable of say that their arms or shoulders harm.

Since this reality couldn’t be revealed right away, Dowook smiled calmly and mentioned.

“Just lately, there’s been fairly a little bit of spinal nerve surgical procedures, so the thought occurred to me.”

“That type of coincidence comes solely when your expertise are sufficient. For those who had been a neurologist, the clinic workload could be lowered by one-third. After your fellowship, take into consideration getting a professor appointment right here. I am going to offer you a T.O.”

“Jae-geol will get upset if he hears you say that.”

“It is the reality.”

When Lee Received Seok, who appeared older and extra educated, relied on a younger physician, Ko Yoon-ah’s gaze unconsciously stayed on Dowook. On the tennis court docket, the extra she checked out him, the extra dependable he appeared.

“Now get began. I am going to deal with the neurological examination. Please ship a resident to assist me.”

“Will you?”

Dowook, who was consulting with Professor Lee, turned his head to Ko Yoon-ah. Immediately, he checked out her in embarrassment.

“I’ve an operation at 1 o’clock, so I believe I want to complete the examination in a rush. Let’s go.”

“What? Sure.”

After they left Professor Lee’s workplace and went to the neurological examination room, Dowook’s buddy Son Jae-geol rushed over.

“Dowook.”

“Huh? Did the professor ship you over?”

Son Jae-geol briefly greeted Ko Yoon-ah and requested quietly.

“There’s an enormous crowd of reporters outdoors. Is it due to this particular person?”

“Is not it apparent? You do not even watch the information?”

“I barely have sufficient time to have a look at affected person charts… Oh, I am sorry, Ms. Ko Yoon-ah. I am a fan.”

Taking a look at his buddy who appeared to have realized of Ko Yoon-ah’s existence for the primary time right now like him, Dowook examined him.

“She misplaced within the sixteenth spherical by a really small margin.”

“I do know.”

“I by no means knew tennis was such a enjoyable recreation.”

“Is not it a nationwide sport?”

His buddy who gave a mechanical reply with a drained face as if he hadn’t left the hospital for 3 days. Dowook whispered in his ear with a tsk.

Shocked, Son Jae-geol opened his mouth.

“Let’s go in, Ko Yoon-ah. Dr. Son goes to return in after reflecting on himself. Go and get up. Now we have a tough checkup forward of us.”

After half-hour.

Subsequent to Ko Yoon-ah, who was mendacity on her abdomen with nerve electrodes on her proper arm and again, Dowook was trying on the examination with a critical expression.

“It is not right here both, Jae-geol. Please transfer one electrode to the thoracic backbone. About 5 millimeters.”

Ko Yoon-ah’s again muscular tissues flinched when a brand new electrical stimulus was utilized. Son Jae-geol, who connected the system, requested Dowook.

“Why do now we have to do that manually?”

“We have to discover the place the nerve capillary group is fluctuating.”

“I do not know what you are in search of when every part seems the identical.”

“Please take note of whether or not the affected person is in any discomfort. Quantity 5, thoracic backbone.”

“I have been doing this for 4 years. What you are doing now’s like in search of a needle in a haystack.”

Usually, it could be however it was a totally totally different story for Dowook, who was conscious of the precise path of motion of the needle.

The trail by which his particular sense activated was a bundle of 1 million nerve fibers referred to as the spinal twine. Some had been accountable for sensory info and a few had been accountable for train info.

The explanation Ko Yoon-ah’s sense and ache had been handed alongside was that there was an issue inside this bundle of nerves.

For that reason, from Dowook’s perspective, it was extra like discovering a rod in a haystack.

Dowook targeted on {the electrical} alerts.

After dozens of minutes, he discovered it.

“Huh?”

At Dowook’s stunned exclamation, Son Jae-geol turned to the monitor in shock.

“What’s it?”

“The irregular exercise. It was right here.”

“The place, the place?”

The waveform diagram was printed out and Dowook handed it to Son Jae-geol.

“This half. Report it to Professor Lee straight away. Even the place of the electrode intimately.”

“Wow, rattling. This small wavelength. Are you human? You certain you’re not a robotic?”

“Simply hurry up and inform the professor.”

A circle was drawn within the areas with barely totally different amplitudes. Son Jae-geol ran out holding the waveform in his hand.

Dowook approached Ko Yoon-ah.

“I discovered the world that triggered the ache. Now we solely have to determine the incidence components by neural MRI and biopsy.”

The electrode was eliminated and Dowook identified the place it was to the curious affected person.

“If spinal twine harm is the trigger, a blocked nerve must be thought-about. Relying on the state of affairs, you will have about two months of rehabilitation. If the trigger is a virus or bacterial spondylitis it may be handled with in depth antibiotics. It’s important to wait and see the progress for a yr on a three-month foundation to find out full restoration.”

Dowook added to Ko Yoon-ah, who sat down.

“None of those will have an effect on Ko Yoon-ah’s superior serve.”

“Oh…”

As quickly as Ko Yoon-ah eliminated the electrode connected to her arm, each palms wrapped round Dowook again tightly.

“Thanks, physician.”

“It was nothing.”

On the similar time, Ko Yoon-ah’s sense rushed in, so Dowook rapidly patted her again and stepped away.

The sense needed to be scattered instantly. It was exhausting to manage his want to expire and train straight away. He’d solely put in 4 serves earlier, however his arm and waist muscular tissues had been nonetheless stiff.

Her physique had a unique muscle density than most people. Since she educated a lot, she will need to have gained such an excellent sense even on the age of 20.

“I believe my position ends right here.”

Dowook, who checked the time, took Ko Yoon-ah’s jacket from the place it was hanging on the entrance and held it out.

“Any longer, please observe Professor Lee Received Seok’s directions. I will be again in three hours after the surgical procedure. Let’s discuss to the sponsors with the outcomes then.”

Ko Yoon-ah nodded with a brighter face.

She was a lot larger and stronger than the scholars from the academy bus, however with such an expression, she seemed just like the 20-year-old she was, so Dowook couldn’t assist however smile.
