Omega19x: *all the people have cleared out*
ph33r my rod: *is cleaning up a bit, and telling Isis about stuff like the broken window and whatnot*
Omega19x: *is on the couch, feeling quite miserable, actually*
ph33r my rod: *walks over and kneels down in front of the couch* "How are you feeling...?"
Omega19x: *is curled up* "it.. h.hurts..."
Omega19x: "... and... and i..it feels... so..so hot in here..."
ph33r my rod: *reaches over and gently strokes Ryou's cheek* "...is there anything I can do...?" *extremely worried*
Omega19x: "... I... I just need to... to wait it out... I... I wish I had... had my codiene tablets... Ev..everything el..else up there... is... is probably too.... too strong..."
Omega19x: "..." *curls up more*
ph33r my rod: "I can run out to the drugstore and see if they have anything that can help..."
Omega19x: "... g..get a... a refill... please... th..the perscriptions are... are in a small folder in the... the drug cabinet..."
Omega19x: *clutches upper abdomen tightly and winces*
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Okay..." *goes to get the prescription sheets, comes back and kneels down in front of him again* "Try to get some rest, okay? I'll be back as soon as I can..."
Omega19x: *weak nod* "...s..sorry..."
ph33r my rod: *leans over and gently kisses his cheek* "I love you. I promise, you'll be okay..."
Omega19x: *he felt warm with that kiss.*
ph33r my rod: *strokes his hair for a few seconds, then leaves with the prescription stuff* "I'll be back soon."
Omega19x: *magical vroomlapse*
Omega19x: *to the Drugs n Stuff Pharmacy. Open all hours.*
ph33r my rod: (( We going through the going-to-several-stores-for-some-reason-or-another thing? ))
Omega19x: (I figure it'll take long enough to have a perscription like that filled.)
Omega19x: (better idea.)
ph33r my rod: (( Ahh. ))
Omega19x: (hence the change of plans.)
ph33r my rod: *walks into pharmacy*
Omega19x: "Welcome to Drugs & Stuff. Are you filling perscription or picking one up?"
ph33r my rod: "I need to have one um... re-filled." *hands the worker the prescription sheet thing*
Omega19x: *stares at the paper and blinks* "this is a controlled narcotic."
ph33r my rod: "...a wha?"
Omega19x: "Normally filling perscriptions like this requires the doctor to call in the refill."
ph33r my rod: "Well, our current supply got wasted, and we really need a refill here."
Omega19x: *studies the name on the sheet* "Well, I doubt this particular doctor is available."
ph33r my rod: *groans*
Omega19x: "and 'your supply?"
Omega19x: *doesn't exactly like the sound of those words at probably a good 11:00 at night.*
ph33r my rod: *rather irritated* "Yes. My boyfriend happens to be in a shitload of pain right now, so I'd really appreciate it if you could just fill the prescription, then I'll be on my merry way."
Omega19x: "What is the condition?"
ph33r my rod: "It's... I don't know. He's just been having these really sharp pains in his stomach for the last couple of weeks."
ph33r my rod: "Said it was 'gallstones' or something."
Omega19x: "This is the last thing your friend should be taking for any sort of gallbladder disease. Any narcotics would be bad."
ph33r my rod: *eye twitch* "...then what should he be taking?"
Omega19x: "Did this... Dr. Shogi order the use of codeine for this particular problem?"
ph33r my rod: (( Did he? *can't remember* ))
Omega19x: (no.)
ph33r my rod: *shakes head* "No..."
Omega19x: (Ryou just... and this is pretty bad I suppose, just uses what he's got in his cabinet when the pain gets too intense.)
Omega19x: "An over the counter pain remedy should be sufficent until a gallstone attack passes. They generally do not last very long."
ph33r my rod: "...oh, okay."
Omega19x: "If the problem reoccurs, it might be wise to have surgery, or an oral dissolution therapy with ursodiol and chenodiol. That combination of drugs is usually very good."
Omega19x: "But only your friend's physician could reccomend the best choice of action."
Omega19x: "But seriously, he should not be taking codeine for this."
Omega19x: "Especially not at this dose."
ph33r my rod: "...well, okay then. What kind of OTC meds do you recommend?"
Omega19x: "Tylenol is always a safe choice."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Alright."
Omega19x: *watches the Egyptian teen walk away and go down the drug aisle*
ph33r my rod: *comes back with some maximum strength Tylenol* "Would this work?"
Omega19x: "Yes, I believe so. Though, if the pain is persistant, and there seems to be another infection, I would suggest to your friend to have it looked at by a doctor."
ph33r my rod: "Okay." *doesn't mention that he already suggested it to Ryou*
Omega19x: *points him in the direction of the cashier*
Omega19x: "have a good night, sir."
ph33r my rod: *nods and goes off to pay for it*
Omega19x: *magical paylapse*
Omega19x: *and thus, Malik is out on his bike, late at night, on the way home...*
Omega19x: (dun dun dun...)
ph33r my rod: *in a near-panic because of Ryou's condition...*
Omega19x: (and the fact I just now bothered to read the med sheet on codeine, seeing specific warnings not to take it for gallbladder disease. Heh.)
ph33r my rod: (( @@;; Oops. ))
Omega19x: *But Malik rides*
ph33r my rod: *going well over the speed limit, no less*
Omega19x: *and a truck is making a sudden turn, not noticing the motorbike approaching on that side*
ph33r my rod: "Oh shi--" *tries to swerve out of the way, but ends up running into a bench on the sidewalk. Next thing he knows, he's laying on the ground, feeling quite woozy and not to mention numb*
Omega19x: *the truck skids to a stop, the driver jumping out of it, and rushing over to where he saw the biker land*
ph33r my rod: "...f... fuck..." *tries to push himself up, but cries out at the sharp pain running through almost his whole upper half*
Omega19x: "... oh shit..." *he curses to himself, as he sees the sight.
Omega19x: *thank goodness the boy was wearing a helmet, but he wasn't even going to chance moving him. And his leg was caught on a metal fencepost, which might even be going through his leg*
ph33r my rod: *weakly lifts head, can barely see due to blurry vision and the visor on his helmet*
Omega19x: "oh shit."
Omega19x: *pulls out his cell phone and dials emergency*
Omega19x: "Yeah, I'm on the intersection of Slot and Roulette. I was driving, and this biker comes out of nowhere. he spun off the road. He's hurt really badly."
ph33r my rod: *tries to sit up again, with no luck whatsoever* "R... Ryou..."
Omega19x: "Get an ambulance out here as soon as you can."
Omega19x: *the trucker looks down at the teen.* "No. The name's Chuck."
Omega19x: "Just stay calm. Help is coming. Okay? Just try and stay calm."
Omega19x: " Oh shit."
ph33r my rod: "...need... to get b-back..." *groans*
Omega19x: "No. Try not to move. I saw it on TV. You could have hurt your back or neck."
ph33r my rod: *is starting to feel the pain now, and oh god it hurts like a bitch* "...nngh..."
Omega19x: "Help is coming."
Omega19x: *he can hear a siren in the distance*
ph33r my rod: *breathing is erratic - it's clear he's panicing*
Omega19x: *ambulance pulls up, and the rescue workers are quickly out and at Malik's side.*
ph33r my rod: "Oh Gods, it... it hurts..."
Omega19x: *realizing they can't pull the metal post free, they work to cut it off of the existing fence, and will remove it at the hospital*
Omega19x: *they do the best they can to stabilize him, still screaming I'm sure, holding his head and neck steady.*
Omega19x: *the trucker seems quite distraught. He doesn't want to be responsible for the kid, and feels terrible about not even seeing him*
ph33r my rod: *struggling to stay awake* "..."
Omega19x: *within ten minutes or so, the ambulance is on its way to the closest hospital, Skipbo General.*
Omega19x: "Try to keep some pressure on the bleeding. Let's get it under control."
Omega19x: "We've got a dislocated shoulder, that's clear."
ph33r my rod: "Ry... need Ryou..."
Omega19x: "They'll want x-rays as soon as we get in the door. Likely fractured collarbone, maybe more."
Omega19x: *the medics are hustling around Malik in the tiny enclosed space of the ambulance*
Omega19x: "...What do you need?"
ph33r my rod: *just keeps calling for Ryou, is in tears from the pain - he hasn't felt anything this intense since the Initiation...*
Omega19x: "Hang on, kid. We're almost there."
Omega19x: *and the ambulance pulls up to the doors of the emergency room. In less than a minute, Malik is surrounded by the trauma staff*
Omega19x: *meanwhile, at the Ishtar household...*
ph33r my rod: *is starting to get a little worried, as Malik's been gone for quite a while now...*
Omega19x: *has been on the couch this whole time*
Omega19x: *lying there, curled up*
Omega19x: *phone rings*
ph33r my rod: *picks up the phone, wondering who would be calling at this hour* "...hello?"
Omega19x: "Ms. Ishtar?"
ph33r my rod: "... Yes?"
Omega19x: "Sorry to bother you this late, but we are calling from SkipBo General."
ph33r my rod: *heart leaps up into her throat* "Is... something the matter?"
Omega19x: "Your brother has been in an accident."
ph33r my rod: *gasp* "No... is... is he okay...?"
Omega19x: "He is with the trauma surgeons right now."
ph33r my rod: "Oh gods..."
Omega19x: "in the accident, he managed to impale his leg on a metal post. They are removing it, as well as assessing his other injuries. That's all we know right now."
Omega19x: "It would probably be best if you come up soon."
ph33r my rod: *voice is shaky* "R-right... oh gods... I'll be there as soon as I can..."
Omega19x: "Of course."
Omega19x: *the woman on the other end hangs up*
ph33r my rod: *barely manages to hang up the phone, moves over to the couch and gently shakes Ryou's shoulder* "Ryou? Ryou, we need to leave..." *near-panic*
Omega19x: *Ryou doesn't move*
ph33r my rod: "...Ryou? Wake up... Malik's been hurt..."
Omega19x: *he still doesn't move*
ph33r my rod: "...oh no." *SOMEHOW manages to get back to the phone and get the Skip-bo number dialed again*
Omega19x: "Skipbo General Hospital"
ph33r my rod: "I... I need an ambulance, quick..."
Omega19x: "What is the emergency?"
ph33r my rod: (( ... How does one explain this? XD "My brother was just rushed in to the hospital and I've been trying to wake his boyfriend up but he's not waking up"? ))
Omega19x: (that's a good start.)
Omega19x: "Is he breathing?"
Omega19x: (assumes that line of text was read)
ph33r my rod: "Y-yes, he is..."
Omega19x: "But unresponsive. Are there any other symptoms? Anything that could be causing this?"
ph33r my rod: "He's... been having stomach pains... look, I really need to get up there anyway, so please send an ambulance..." *is almost in tears*
Omega19x: "An ambulance is on its way, ma'am, we're just attempting to assess the situation so you can give any first aid if necessary. Keep a watch on his pulse and breathing, and be ready to give CPR if necessary."
ph33r my rod: "O-okay..."
Omega19x: *and it is not long before she can hear the ambulance outside*
Omega19x: *banging on door*
ph33r my rod: *quickly gets up and answers the door, in the midst of a nervous breakdown*
Omega19x: *medics rush in*
Omega19x: *doing their medic-like things*
Omega19x: "severe abdominal pains followed by unconsciousness?" one medic asks Isis, while another is helping his teammate lift Ryou to a stretcher*
ph33r my rod: "Y-yes..."
Omega19x: "Get me some oxygen here, he's going into shock." *they yell amongst each other, and rush out of there post haste*
Omega19x: "Are you coming, ma'am?"
ph33r my rod: *nods and quickly rushes out of the house, barely remembering to lock up*
Omega19x: *and off they go as well, rushing Ryou to the emergency room as soon as they reach the doors*
Omega19x: *the doctors clamor back and forth that it could be a variety of things causing him trouble, and are rushing him back to the trauma team*
Omega19x: *it's going to be a long night for Isis*
ph33r my rod: *a very very long night*
Omega19x: *one team of doctors is currently hoisting Malik's shoulder back into place so they can align the fractures. Another team is ordering serum amylase tests, and various abdominal x-rays on Ryou.*
ph33r my rod: *just sits in the waiting room, completely in tears and worried like crazy*
Omega19x: (and I'm gonna say 'to be continued' cuz I'm about to pull a Ryou at the keyboard.)
ph33r my rod: (( XD;; Kay. @@;;; Yaaaay plot under way~! ))
Omega19x: (woot)
