"Huh?"
At the entrance of the clinic, a young nurse suddenly froze.
When Chen Fan came over earlier, he could barely walk.
But now, his complexion...
"Strange!"
"What's going on?"
The nurse couldn't help but mutter softly.
Several family members of other patients nearby also noticed.
"Huh? Wasn't he diagnosed with lung wither disease?"
"He looked half-dead just a moment ago..."
"Why does he seem so energetic now?"
"Could it be a final burst of energy before death?"
"Sigh, he's so young, what a pity."
Everyone shook their heads and sighed.
They had seen this situation many times.
Many critically ill patients suddenly become energetic before they pass away.
They can eat.
They can sleep.
They can even get out of bed and move around.
But often, the more this happens, the more it is a sign that they are on their deathbed.
Thinking of this, many people looked at Chen Fan with even more sympathy.
Chen Fan naturally heard them.
His mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
A final burst of energy before death?
If it were a few minutes ago, he wouldn't be able to argue.
But now, he felt his physical state was better than ever.
The attending physician, Director Li Guohua, also noticed something unusual.
As the chief physician of the infectious disease department,
he had encountered many patients with lung wither disease.
This disease had a very obvious characteristic.
Patients would become increasingly weak; it was absolutely impossible for them to recover suddenly.
But Chen Fan's current state...
Something was wrong!
"Chen Fan, you..."
Director Li Guohua frowned and waved his hand. "Come over here."
Chen Fan walked over.
His steps were light and quick.
He didn't look like a patient at all.
Director Li Guohua's eyelids twitched slightly.
The more he looked, the more wrong it seemed.
"Sit down and hold out your hand."
"Okay."
Chen Fan obediently did as he was told.
Director Li Guohua took his pulse while observing his complexion.
A moment later, his brows furrowed tightly, and he began to take out his equipment.
First, he measured the blood oxygen levels.
Then, he picked up a stethoscope and placed it on Chen Fan's chest.
A few minutes later...
"This isn't right! This is very wrong!"
Director Li Guohua was completely bewildered.
Blood oxygen was normal, heart rate was normal, and respiratory rate was normal!
Except for the occasional noise heard in the lungs, other indicators were almost up to the standard of a healthy person!
What kind of joke was this?
He had personally looked at the CT scan just a moment ago.
The area of bilateral pulmonary fibrosis exceeded forty percent!
It was a typical case of lung wither disease.
Patients with this level of severity could almost only wait for death.
How could he suddenly recover?
Director Li Guohua didn't believe it and checked again.
As for the results, they were still the same!
He put down the stethoscope and couldn't help but ask:
"How do you... feel right now?"
Chen Fan thought for a moment and answered seriously.
"Very good."
"Very good?"
"Yes!"
Chen Fan nodded. "Especially good. My breathing is smooth, my chest doesn't hurt, and I have energy all over my body. Honestly, I feel even better than I did before I got sick."
"..."
Director Li Guohua fell silent.
Although this sounded somewhat outrageous,
judging by the examination results, it seemed to be true.
The elegant and noble woman nearby listened with bated breath.
Could a patient with lung wither disease... really recover?
Chen Fan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Doctor Li, since I'm fine now, do I not need to stay in the hospital for observation?"
Director Li Guohua immediately snapped back to reality and replied firmly.
"That won't do! Regardless of your current state, just the fact that lung wither disease is contagious means you must remain in the hospital for observation."
Chen Fan felt helpless upon hearing this.
He certainly knew about the contagiousness of the disease in its later stages.
But the problem was, he was already cured.
To be precise,
after his lifespan increased,
his bodily functions had directly returned to what they were a year ago.
But this kind of thing was impossible to explain.
He couldn't exactly tell the doctor that he had bound a system, could he?
He would probably be sent to the psychiatric department the next second.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan had to change his approach.
He could also take the opportunity to light the first fire for the 【lifespan treasure】.
"Doctor Li, I want to be checked again!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Director Li Guohua was stunned.
"Checked again?"
"That's right."
"You just had a full set of examinations this morning: nucleic acid, CT, and blood tests. I personally reviewed all of them; there is absolutely no way there could be a mistake."
"But I really am cured!"
Director Li Guohua sighed upon hearing this, his voice softening.
"Chen Fan."
"I understand how you feel."
"Many patients cannot accept reality when they are first diagnosed."
"But medicine is about data."
"Not feelings."
"Moreover, in your current situation..."
At this point, Director Li Guohua suddenly paused.
In the end, he didn't say the words "final burst of energy before death."
After all, one must believe in science.
But the meaning was already very clear.
He patted Chen Fan's shoulder.
"I can see you've just entered society."
"Keep your money and buy something you like to eat."
"Don't put yourself through this."
Chen Fan's mouth twitched.
Good grief.
He had completely written him off as a dying man!
However, a re-examination was necessary.
Otherwise, he would have no way to leave the hospital.
Nor could he light the first fire for the 【lifespan treasure】.
"Doctor Li."
"You don't need to persuade me; I want to be checked again."
Director Li Guohua frowned.
"No need."
"There is a need."
"No."
"Yes."
"..."
Several nurses nearby were dumbfounded.
It was their first time seeing a patient so persistent.
In the end,
Director Li Guohua gave in.
He rubbed his brow.
"Fine."
"Since you are so persistent."
"Then we'll do it again."
"But don't get your hopes up too high."
"If the results of the review don't show any changes..."
"Then you'll just have to honestly stay for isolation and observation."
Chen Fan nodded immediately. "No problem."
Soon,
the review process was restarted.
Blood draw.
Nucleic acid.
Lung CT.
Each examination was rearranged.
Chen Fan cooperated throughout the entire process.
While waiting for the results,
he opened the 【lifespan treasure】 and took a look.
It still displayed:
【Current active users: 0】
Clearly, no one had bought or sold their lifespan yet.
Chen Fan wasn't in a hurry either.
After all, he needed to let the bullets fly for a while.
Time passed bit by bit.
An hour later.
Laboratory department.
The young nurse looked at the computer screen, completely frozen.
Lin Xiaoxiao seriously doubted if her eyes were playing tricks on her.
She hurriedly rubbed her eyes and re-confirmed.
The result was still the same!
"How is this possible?"
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim.
This person had only come for an examination this morning.
But now...
A colleague nearby turned to look.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Xiaoxiao opened her mouth.
For a moment, she didn't know how to explain it because the data on the screen was too outrageous.
The blood drawn in the morning showed off-the-charts inflammation markers.
The afternoon review showed almost everything had returned to normal.
This wasn't just an improvement; it was a medical incident!
Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the report and ran all the way to the office.
"Director Li!"
Inside the office,
Director Li Guohua was organizing medical records.
Hearing the sound, he looked up.
"Are the results out?"
"They're out!"
Lin Xiaoxiao swallowed hard and handed over the report.
"See for yourself."
Director Li Guohua took the report with a calm expression.
But after just the first glance,
the expression on his face froze.
Then,
the second page.
The third page.
The fourth page.
The office gradually fell silent.
A few seconds later,
Director Li Guohua slowly raised his head.
In his eyes,
for the first time,
there appeared an undisguisable shock.
"This..."
"How is it possible?!"
