Facial paralysis.
And a rather severe case of it.
In the short time it took him to walk into the consultation room, pull out a chair, and sit down, the man's facial muscles showed almost no change in expression. It was as if he were wearing a rigid mask.
As experienced doctors, Li Xu and the others could tell at a glance that the man's facial nerves were unresponsive. Moreover, scattered across his forehead, cheeks, and chin were dark red acne breakouts that looked rather alarming.
Sure enough, after some questioning, it was confirmed that the man indeed suffered from facial paralysis. He had been ill for over a month and had been seeing Western medicine doctors, taking hormones and receiving neurotrophic injections, but to no avail. His mouth was still crooked, and he couldn't close his eyes completely.
