why RefreshDatabase not work for each test?

I use laravel 8 and I wrote some feature test for saving patient in my systems. it seems RefreshDatabase not clear previous test patient records and $this->assertCount(1, Patient::all()) not worked.

 public function testPatientCanSavePatientWithCorrectData()
{
   $this->withoutExceptionHandling();
    $this->actingAs(User::factory()->create());
   $response = $this->postJson(
        route('api.web.patient.v1.patients.store'),
        $this->getFakePatient()
    );
    $response->assertSuccessful();
    $this->assertCount(1, Patient::all());
 }

what is the best practice? I use mysql test database.

<server name="DB_HOST" value="testdb"/> <server name="MYSQL_DATABASE" value="testing"/>

It should work; what is the actual count? Also, what happens in getFakePatient?

@tykus I know it's so weird. the actual size is 9 and seems remained in previous tests. getFakePatient is

return Patient::factory()->make()->getAttributes();

also I use refreshDatabase at whole test class for insure

@tykus I found it, when we use seeder in Test setUp it's not rollbacked by database transaction

$this->seed(ModelClassSeeder::class)

and we remove it and test passed
