Although Dr. Jia thought Ge Dongxu's diagnosis was very likely true, deep down, he still harbored some hope for luck and doubt.
After all, lung cancer, being invisible and intangible, couldn't necessarily be diagnosed definitively even with modern instruments. So, for Dr. Jia to fully believe just based on what Ge Dongxu said was impossible.
Even though Ge Dongxu had just promised to treat him, Dr. Jia would have definitely gone for an X-ray afterwards.
Now that Ge Dongxu refused to treat him, his urgency to seek confirmation grew even stronger.
Dr. Jia was the deputy chief physician at the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and had good connections there. Although it was still the lunch break, at Dr. Jia's request, the radiology department immediately arranged for someone and equipment to administer a chest CT scan for him.
