Chapter 3 - Dr. Mike

At 3 p.m., Steve and John arrived at Doctor Mike's clinic for their appointment, and they were greeted by the receptionist.

The receptionist was a busty blond young lady. She gave Steve and John a charming smile and said politely to him, "Mr. Steve, welcome. Dr. Mike is waiting for you; please go ahead."

Steve nodded his head politely to the receptionist and walked towards Dr. Mike's office with John following suit.

When Steve and John were in front of the office, Steve knocked on the door.

"KNOCK, KNOCK."

"ENTER."

Steve opened the door, and then he and John entered the office.

Inside Dr. Mike's office

John saw a man in his 40s with an ordinary face wearing the doctor's coat and sitting on the desk while sipping tea.

Dr. Mike smirked when he saw Steve and said, "Well, well, it is good to see you, Steve; it has been a while."

Steve chuckled when he heard this and smiled at Dr. Mike, "yeah, it has been a while Mike I know you are busy since you recently opened this clinic, but you are the one I completely believe could help my little brother."

Dr. Mike smiled when he heard this; he walked to John, extended his hand, and said to John, "You must be John. I heard you are a very talented football player. I will do my best to help you. Your brother is a good friend of mine, and he helped me a lot in the past."

John smiled politely at Dr. Mike and shook his hand, then he said to him, "Thank you a lot, doctor; it means a lot to me."

Dr. Mike nodded his head in understanding, then he said to John, "Alright, John, now get on the bed so I can start our preliminary examination."

John nodded and sat on the bed.

Dr. Mike then put on some gloves and started removing the bandages around John's foot.

The doctor was surprised when he saw John's ankle was extremely swollen.

He then asked John, "Can you move your foot in a circular motion?"

John nodded and answered, "Yes, I can, but it is extremely painful."

The doctor sighed in relief when he heard this; he then said to John, "Give it a try, John, and bear with the pain."

John nodded, and he started moving his injured arm in a circular motion.

John grimaced in pain when he did this, and the doctor nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw this. He then said, "This is good news; despite how badly swollen your ankle is, your ankle isn't broken, which surprises me. We need to do a full examination now."

John nodded, and then he and Mike walked out of the office towards the examination room.

When John entered the examination room, he was surprised to see many modern equipment in the room.

Dr. Mike didn't waste any more time and started using the equipment to do a full examination of John's ankle. After one full hour, they both returned to his office.

Dr. Mike started flipping through the reports he got after he finished examining John's ankle. He chuckled and said to John and Steve, "Your bone density is ten times the athletes bones I had examined in the past. We only need to treat the swollen ankle by using ice, and I will give you some antibiotics and cream to recover faster. Come and see me in a month to recheck your ankle."

When Steve and John heard this, they sighed in relief, and John smiled brightly at the news. Then Dr. Mike said to John, "I want to do a full body examination; it will be free of charge, of course, with your permission."

John nodded his head, then he and Dr. Mike returned to the examination room, and Dr. Mike started examining John's body using his equipment.

After 3 hours, Mike and John returned to the office. Mike grabbed a bottle of water and started drinking greedily. He then turned and looked at Steve.

Mike scoffed at him and said, "Steve, your little brother had the potential to be a monster."

Steve raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean?"

Mike smirked and said, "John's heart is two times stronger than normal humans and twice as big; even his lungs are two times bigger than normal humans. If he trains his body properly, there is no doubt he will become a monster."

Steve and John were surprised when they heard this, then Mike looked at John and said to him, "You have the potential to be one of the greatest athletes of this generation, John, but you need to work hard to earn it. My advice to you after you are healed is to get a personal fitness coach and a personal nutritionist expert to help you reach your full potential. This will also help you reduce the injuries that you will suffer in the future if you decide to be a footballer."

John smiled and nodded his head to Mike. He then said to him, "Thank you, Doctor, for your advice and help."

Mike smiled and wrote on an empty piece of paper, then he handed the paper to Steve and said to him, "I wrote the medicines that John need to take on this paper; don't forget that John has an appointment with me next month."

Steve smiled and nodded to Mike. He grabbed the paper and said to Mike, "Thank you for your help, Mike. We will see you next month."

Mike smiled and nodded his head, then Steve and John exited the clinic.
