Ducky- Sometimes I worry about that young man…

"Evening Jimmy…I realize it is late. But I just arrived home and wanted to phone. How are you holding up?"
"I'm fine Doctor…just a little headache."
"The paramedics checked you out thoroughly correct?"
"Oh they were thorough…but they said a little head pounding would be normal."
"Head pounding could be indicative of many things…perhaps I should come by, give you an examination myself?"
"Doctor, I'm fine really."
"No I insist. It will only take me a few minutes to grab my things."
"Really isn't necessary Doctor."
"Oh and when you fall asleep and don't wake up because of a contusion on the brain, then where will I be? A good week or two before I get any help at all…now be ready…no later than fifteen minutes from now, understood?"
Jimmy couldn't help but smile. "Understood."
Headache or not, he knew he wouldn't be getting rid the stubborn medical examiner anytime soon. He leaned back on his couch and pondered how grateful he was to have someone worrying over him. It was; in a word…heartwarming.
