All diseases have specific professions that take a certain amount of time. While there is some wiggle room due to different people reacting differently, you can generally expect about the same timeline for all patients.

Consider broken legs, for instance. The average broken leg takes 6-8 to heal. We know this because over the years we’ve observed that patient take more than 5 weeks and less than 9 to regrow the necessary bone to be considered healed.
