Additionally, Markus had some weakness in the right upper and lower limbs. After a computed tomographic (CT) scan was performed, it was discovered that he had developed chronic left basal ganglia and left frontal infarcts.

Subsequently, he went through physiotherapy, including speech therapy.

His condition became unbearable in 2021, which was his fifth year, and as a result, he stayed back home for another year.

After undergoing intensive medical treatment, Markus has finally graduated as a Doctor of Pharm.
