The doctor froze, then his expression turned serious. He chided in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me something this important sooner?"
Wanai picked up his Detection Device. "You didn't find anything?" He thought the emergency room doctor already knew.
The doctor snatched the Detection Device and began dialing the hospital's internal line. "If it were this easy to detect," he said, "the cure rate for genetic diseases in females might have actually gone up."
And by extension, the problem of male degeneration might have been solved as well.
Genetic diseases in females are even more complex than male degeneration. The symptoms vary widely. Some can be detected early, while others can't. Some females can stabilize their condition long-term with medication. Others might be perfectly healthy into adulthood or even middle age, only to have a sudden onset of the illness one day and die before they can even be treated.
