Chapter 51 MRI



Once the doctors were ready for the examination, Nicole was told to take her top off, and she did without hesitation.

She wasn't a teenage girl to blush from this and knew it had to be done. She also could tell Alex was mature and wasn't perving on her body.

That was right. Alex wasn't thinking much about Nicole's breasts because he had seen many during his studies in med school as well as his own wife's.

His wife was the hottest woman he had ever seen and Alex wouldn't lie, even though Nicole was beautiful in her own way, she couldn't compare to his wife.

Alex was a straight man but with great self-control. He didn't pop a boner as in his mind, he was treating this as a serious situation where a person's life was at risk.

The gynaecologist did what Alex had done during his diagnosis and she turned to him to ask and talk about it.

Alex told her what he felt could be the problem and the gynaecologist found all of his reasoning to be correct and match her own.

Not just match, Alex was more knowledgeable than her and she wouldn't even lie about it.

This was bound to happen as Alex had the knowledge of advanced human anatomy he got from the system.

The two doctors came to a conclusion that an MRI was needed.

They made an appointment for Nicole and in the next hour, she was stripped fully and made to wear a loose-fitting hospital gown.

The nurses checked her if she wore any article that was metal and ensured that only a piece of loose fabric was on her and nothing else.

Nicole wouldn't lie, if she was panicking before, now she was really scared.

She had been into harsh training but there was nothing that prepared her for such hospital treatments.

Even during the era of Gods, hospitals and their horrifying treatments were still a thing and Nicole cursed God for putting her in such a position.

Of course, being a top ranking officer, she knew better to conceal her emotions, but deep down, only she knew the pain she was feeling.

Despite knowing the feelings Nicole may be going through, Alex couldn't help her whatsoever. She had to undergo this otherwise the only option that remained was praying to God, which was highly unreliable and risky.

Gods hardly ever answered prayers of their believers even during their era where they gave blessings to a select few people.

The vast majority was just shown a hope and there was no proof that they could ever get blessed. Yet, everyone kept praying in hopes of having Gods listen to their problems.

Before going inside the MRI room, Nicole had a small chat with Alex.

Alex told her everything will be fine and she need not worry about anything.

He also warned her that the MRI machine would make a loud noise and she shouldn't get scared of it.

MRI machines contain big superconducting magnets that are turned on and off by the operator repeatedly, causing loud sound to arise.

The main magnet in an MRI machine remains stationary and generates a strong magnetic field that aligns the protons in the body's tissues.

When a radiofrequency pulse is applied, the protons momentarily change their alignment, and as they return to their original state, they emit signals that are detected by the MRI machine's receiver coils.I think you should take a look at

These signals are then used to create detailed images of the internal structures of the body, letting Radiologists study and make appropriate reports.

MRI was the safest option to detect cancer in a patient and was used widely in the world.

It was sad that Nicole had to undergo this for the diagnosis, but there was no other way.

Alex could ask his wife to ask his other wives who weren't on Earth and help treat Nicole, but somewhere down the line, he felt this wasn't right.

Why was that the case, Alex had no idea. He thus made a mental note to talk about this with his wife, who was supposedly a God, when he went home.

Nicole was a stranger and Alex had seen many people's suffering and sad faces when they were getting treated.

Despite the numerous encounters with death and suffering, Alex wasn't numb to those emotions and felt really sad and depressed.

The medical field wasn't cut for a person like him, but his mental fortitude was high and he didn't break in all these years.

Alex only grew compassion and empathy for the suffering patients, and if it was in his control, he would help each and every patient in the world and cure their diseases, letting there be no suffering at all.

Right outside the MRI room, in the waiting hall, there was a child roughly 6-8 years of age. He was bald and there was no hair on his body, indicating that he might've undergone chemotherapy.

Alex felt pained watching such a young child suffer such a cruel fate. What sin could a child possibly have done to let fate punish him in such a manner? He didn't understand.

Alex's resolve to talk to his wife got even stronger. However, no matter how eager he was, he had to first finish things up with Nicole.

Alex wasn't helping her so much because he was a kind person, he would be lying to himself if he said that. Yes, he was a doctor and it was his duty to look after a patient, but not so much to stay with them with everything.

Even though she was the Director, she was still a stranger to him and there was his family waiting for him at home.

They would've started worrying for him by now had Alex not called Melissa and told her the situation.

He had no phone on him so he used Nicole's while she was getting her MRI done.

Helping Nicole so much, part of the reason was him wanting to establish a stronger connection with her. It was due to this that he was sticking through.

Alex could've otherwise just written a recommendation letter and had her make a visit to the doctors herself.

It took a while for Nicole to get her MRI done.

By the time she was done, it was 9 pm.

Alex had a rough day today and it seemed like the same was the case with Nicole.

Nicole's report were going to arrive at around noon the next day, thus Alex suggested they parted ways now and met again tomorrow.

Internally, Nicole didn't want herself to be away from a professional doctor's supervision, but she understood that Alex had to go home as well.

In any case, it wouldn't hurt to ask, and so Nicole asked gently to Alex as they walked outside the hospital, "Can you please stay with me until the reports arrive?"
