The people inside showed no reaction; they were unaware that many pairs of eyes were watching them from another room.
They had stripped off their tops and were undergoing tests in the machine. After more than a month of medication, their bodies had recovered significantly. In fact, as long as their physical condition improved, losing weight could be achieved through a few weeks of exercise.
Thus, they were not worried about their current situation. Their main concern was that if the medication continued indefinitely, they might end up incapacitated. This was why they diligently followed the doctor's guidance to regain their health. At least their physical recovery was not too difficult, so a month’s time was already considered long. To be on the safe side, the hospital had delayed their routine final check-up until now.
This check-up could potentially be the last one; regardless of the outcome, it would be final. The worst-case scenario would still require them to stay in the hospital for treatment.
"Alright, turn around; I'm going to test you again," the doctor said from across the room, standing next to the machine and observing organ functions and radiation responses on the Virtual Screen. It was inevitable that this process would take some time; after all, he was a doctor who preferred to spend extra time predicting results rather than just glancing at them. He believed it was important to give sufficient time for thoughtful consideration of any issues.
The two complied, and the doctor continued to touch the Virtual Screen repeatedly, his face revealing a hint of astonishment at such an astonishing rate of recovery.
His expression clearly indicated that there was a problem, but his lips muttered in disbelief, "No way." The consequences of such words coming from a doctor were indeed frightening.
After following his instructions with trepidation, they stepped out of the machine, put on their clothes, and awaited the doctor's final verdict.
Whether good or bad news didn’t matter; after all, for a hunter, life and death could hinge on a single breath.
The doctor conveyed his opinion through his actions—was this truly his first encounter with such cases? He felt quite curious about it. Initially, he intended to keep them for observation due to their unusual physical conditions, but he received news midway that forced him to abandon that plan. After all, he couldn’t make decisions alone; someone outside was waiting for them.
In a solemn tone, the doctor said, "Your bodies have fully recovered. However, during this period, remember not to overexert yourselves and avoid consuming excessive spicy foods. If any adverse reactions occur again, try to stop taking medication as soon as possible once you are healed. If any emergencies arise later on, you can come to the hospital and find me; I will provide targeted treatment methods. Now that you are both well again, you may be discharged."
Upon hearing these words from the doctor, they felt a surge of excitement because it was completely unexpected. It turned out that all those actions by the doctor earlier were merely meant to scare them; their anxieties were finally alleviated. They walked out of the room and upon entering another room saw Hilbert and Freyr peering through a mirror into their situation. It turned out that this mirror allowed observation of what was happening inside; everything had been under the control of the director outside. No wonder there had been such significant changes in the doctor inside.
Every doctor at this hospital carries a patent. In a major hospital like this, lacking a patent means you won't last long. First, there's the issue of salary; second, these doctors, while treating patients, also engage in their own research projects based on their ideas. When the doctors here feel that their physical conditions are somewhat unusual, they become eager to understand the specifics of those conditions. Therefore, retaining them is not impossible; after all, if the final signature is not valid, the patient still cannot be discharged.
However, the director is well aware of the ulterior motives of his doctors. He had similar thoughts when he was younger, and now there are even more people with such aspirations. Acquiring more patents means better job security for the future. While other doctors are busy with their duties, those who have secured patents have already climbed to higher positions.
It's not just about putting in time; in the mindset of these elite individuals, merely clocking hours is a path to mediocrity. They prefer to pursue their goals relentlessly rather than waste time, which they find exhausting.
There’s no need to make this public; the director merely responded appropriately and made it clear who was present and still making moves. After all, the Hunter Association has been fighting against the Zerg for many years and frequently interacts with this hospital. Without a more suitable partner, the hospital does not intend to provoke this powerful entity. Moreover, hunters from the association often return from missions with severe injuries, so sometimes the hospital staff is fully equipped. Even when there aren’t many patients, they are required to be on duty without taking leave to prevent such situations.
Treating injuries is straightforward; however, surgeries performed by trauma surgeons can be quite expensive. Machines can be used as alternatives, but if surgery can directly treat an injury without complications, it can often be completed more affordably. However, gene repair machines and robotic nurses come at a high cost.
Thus, many doctors work under significant pressure without adequate rest. The hospital's policy is strict: mistakes are not tolerated. If a surgery indirectly leads to failure, the responsible doctor will be dismissed and will have a record of negligence that complicates finding future employment.
Consequently, the director may intentionally assist outsiders because he does not want such matters exposed. The ambition of elite physicians within the hospital suffers a setback while those doctors contribute to medical technology development; neither side is truly at fault.
Delaying the discharge of elite hunters from the association means fewer missions executed. This could lead to significant losses; there might even be vital intelligence that could be obtained from these missions. Thus, the hospital cannot afford to bear that responsibility.
After packing their belongings, they prepared for discharge. Although there were only two of them, Freyr had also heard about others from Hilbert and learned that they were being transferred to this major hospital as well. It seemed that recovery would take longer than expected; the benefits brought by this mission were immense.
No wonder the Human Alliance's Executive Government reacted so strongly upon receiving this news.
