(Chris p.o.v)
Chris:"*COUGH, COUGH, COUGH*" -My hand planted on my chest I try to catch my breath-
-Clutching my chest I let out a wheeze while breathing-
"Son of a bitch...." -I think gritting my teeth-
Chris:"Hey doc!, what's taking so damn long in there!" -I announce propping myself up against the pillow-
-Dr.Silva walks in an expressionless look on her face-
Chris:"What?, why you looking at me like that for?" -I ask becoming worried-
Dr.Silva:"We did the scan..., and you're ribs are broken...." -She looks at the clipboard-
Chris:"No shit...., When does the treatment star-"
Dr.Silva:"We found something else..." -She cuts over me-
-The feline stares at me remaining expressionless-
Chris:"Uh?..." -I let out another wheeze-
Dr.Silva:"We found something strange growing on your lungs...."
Chris:"W-what do you mean?" -I began to worry-
-Taking in another breath I struggle to catch it being sent into a coughing fit-
*COUGH, COUGH, COUGH....*
-Grasping my own shirt I finally manage to breath in-
-The doctor comes to my side sitting me up-
Dr.Silva:"Breath..., breath..." -She gently pats my back-
-I began to calm down feeling my chest ache-
Dr.Silva:"How long have you had this cough of yours?" -She shoots me a questioning glance-
Chris:"Ehm...., uh.., since I've been shot...." -I tell her-
Dr.Silva:"Hmm..., these weren't on yours lungs last time I did an X-ray on you No-Fur...." -She says with worry-
Chris:"*COUGH*, what are you trying to tell me doc?...." -I wheeze out-
Dr.Silva:"This appears to be an affect of the gas inhalation..., have you coughed up any blood?" -She checks my diagnostics on the computer-
Chris:"Jesus no!, it's almost like you're trying to tell me I'm dying!" -I try to humour the moment-
-But she gives me a serious look-
Dr.Silva:"Chris?, is that your name?..., this isn't a joke this disease seems to becoming progressive...." -She shakes her head-
Dr.Silva:"Since the break on your ribs it's been straining your lungs which has progressed whatever disease or virus or possibly even fungus in your lungs...." -She tells me-
-My face went pale as I lean back onto the bed clearing my throat-
Dr.Silva:"Look I'll put more research into it, but we must get your chest fixed up ASAP..." -She very seriously tells me-
Dr.Silva:"It may be nothing but we have to be 100% sure alright?"
-Biting my tongue I move on to the extraordinary pain-
Chris:"Uh okay?, so what do we do about my ribs?" -I raise an eyebrow-
Dr.Silva:"Remember that bone solidifier medicine used on you awhile ago?"
