I Hate Hospitals
Matt’s POV
The hospitals waiting room was eerily quiet as we waited to hear news on Coby. Soon after we arrived Tobin and Jerry got to the hospital. It had been over 3 hours already and everyone was starting to get anxious. We wanted at least hear some news on his condition.
Finally after asking every single nurse for like an hour I finally found someone who could tell us something.
“He is suffering from a severe case of malnutrition, and vitamin D deficiency. Right now we have him on a feeding tube and in a medically induced coma so that his body can take its time to heal.” He said.
“When will we be able to see him?” I asked.
“ Soon, just let me double check with the doctor in charge and I will get back to you soon.” He said
I nodded, then went back and sat with the others. I couldn’t help but let my mind wander. I knew this was all my fault. I should have been there for him after Bree’s death. I knew how much he was torn up about it, but so was I. I was selfish, and worrying about myself when I should have been worrying about him.
“This is all my fault.” I finally said out loud.
“No it’s not.” Tobin said.
“None of us had any idea that he would turn out like this after Bree’s death. I mean I know he loved her and all but w all know that she wouldn’t want any of us to beat our self’s up over her death like Coby is right now.” Tobin said.
“But still Tobin, we all knew how depressed he was when she died, I should have paid more attention to him, to make sure he was all right and didn’t sink this low. God I was so selfish! I should have never let this happen. I mean look at where we are Tobin, a hospital, a FUCKING HOSPITAL, I should have never let it escalade to this. I should have caught this sooner and maybe one of my best friends wouldn’t be on his death bed.” By the time I finished I realized that I was shouting and out of breath.
Soon after a man who I am assuming was Coby’s doctor came up and introduced himself.
“Good afternoon, my name is Dr. Bishop and I am in charge of Jacoby.”
“As my assistant told you earlier Jacoby is suffering from one of the worst cases of self malnutrition, and vitamin D deficiency I have ever seen. Has anything happened to him recently that would cause him to do this to himself?”
We all looked at each other wondering who was going to step up and say something.
Finally Brian stepped up and started telling Dr. Bishop what happened.
“His girlfriend died a month ago, which was pretty much when he disappeared and no one heard from him again until we saw him today. She was in a coma on life support, but we decided to pull the plug after a year passed and there was no sign of recovery. He hasn’t been the same since then, and until now we didn’t know that he was taking it this bad.”
Brian let out a sigh, this brought back a lot of unwanted memories for everyone.
“I see, well I am sorry for your loss. As for a course of action with Jacoby, this is what I am planning. I want to keep him in this medical coma for at least a week, to see how he progresses with the feeding tube in terms of his nutrition. Depending on this progress I will take him out of the coma and see if he will be willing to eat on his own if his body can handle solid food. From there I would like him to remain in the hospital on suicide watch for at least one month. This way we can monitor his depression and decide what medication he should be on. Hopefully within a month and a half he will be able to go home. When he is able to go home I do suggest that someone stay with him, preferably a friend and not a family member. Also during the time he is home he will come to the hospital for weekly counseling sessions to monitor the depression. Hopefully after that I will be able to give him a clean bill of health.”
“Thank you Dr. Bishop. When can we go see him?” I asked.
“You can go see him now. He is in room 142.”
We shook hands then headed to Coby’s room.
We got to his room and I put my hand on the handle taking a deep breath before pushing the door open. I knew I had to expect the worst, and that’s exactly what I got.
Going in and seeing Coby laying there, lifeless, just like Bree looked before she died. I blinked away the tears that wanted to escape. I had to be strong, for Coby, and myself.
Brian’s POV
Walking into the room and finally being able to see him, he looked dead. If the machines weren’t beeping telling me he had a pulse, I would have thought he was dead. He was pale, his skin as white as the walls and blankets in the room. You could see his cheekbones protruding from his face, and how thin his body looked under the blankets. His arms looked like they had lost muscle tone, and you could tell it was from starving himself. He was dangerously thin. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t know if he would actually be able to recover from something like this.
“Well I guess the tours cancelled.” I said trying to relieve some of the tension and silence that had taken over the room.
Everyone looked at me with questionable eyes, but I ignored it.
“Guys we should go, we need to go home and think of a plan of what we are going to do about this.”
Everyone looked at me knowing I was right, but not wanting to leave, but I know if we didn’t leave now they would never leave. We piled into our cars and headed back to Matt’s house to think of a plan.
Once we got back to Matt’s I got out of the car, and looked towards the sky.
“Looks like its gonna rain guys.”
