A/N: Thanks for all review! Not sure if I got the whole medical thing in the beginning about the nurses, but this happened with a relative of mine and he explained what happened with him. I added things for the story in addition to my relative's experience with the Q&A with the doctor.
Told from Percy's POV
You look around the room now and there are a trio of nurses and a doctor around you. While the nurses are around you, cleaning wounds and monitoring vitals, the doctor turns to you.
"Hello Percy, I am Dr. Wood. It's mandatory to go through a series of question for a patient with head injuries. Shall we start?" the doctor asks you. You nod.
"What is your full name?"
"Persues Poseidon Jackson."
"How old are you?"
"Twenty-two."
"What is the name of your mother?"
"Sally Jackson." The questions continue on and you answer them without thought. Until a question he asks sticks out.
"Do you remember anything about the accident?" Flashbacks of what happened play across your mind. The radio, the light, the crushing, excruciating pain, the blackness.
"Yes, I remember. A car passed a red light and hit me from the left," you say in a small voice. He turns away from you and to the nurses.
"Ladies, I am in no need of your service for right now, but I would like to have a private conversation with Mr. Jackson here," you eyebrows furrow in confusion. Why would he want to talk to you in private? After the nurses leave, he turns to you.
"Percy, I know you're a demi-god. You're the son of Poseidon." And your jaw hits the floor. Dr. Wood's face holds a hint of amusement, you notice.
"What! How do you know that?" you exclaim.
"Because Percy, I am also a demi-god. I'm a son of Apollo hence the reason I am a doctor. No need to worry, you'll even make a quicker recovery with the help of ambrosia, water, and nectar," he smiles.
"Thank you," but you divert the topic to the accident, "How badly injured am I?"
"Alright, but there are a lot of injuries, I must warn you. At the accident scene, the EMTs told me that your heart had stopped due to the fact your lung had collapsed. You had to be in surgery for nearly five hours to get that fixed. You had a relapse a couple of days ago, but that's fine now. You have a mild concussion, a cut on your right cheek, a broken collarbone, a dislocated right shoulder, a hair line fracture on your left wrist, one broken finger, two cracked ribs, one broken rib, and you fractured in left leg in two places. You have thirty-two stitches to close all of the wounds."
"Wow, I'm pretty beaten up I guess," you eyes wide in amazement. You knew you had to have a few injuries, but never this many. The doctor chuckles at your comment.
"Percy, don't worry. You're a demi-god and a son of Poseidon. You'll be back on your feet in no time. Like I said, water, ambrosia, and nectar can help with things like the broken or fractured bones and cuts, but the real things you need to watch out for are the concussion and lung. Watch, I'll demonstrate," Dr. Wood reaches for the cup of water by your bedside and pours it down your right cheek. You can feel the water tingle and you reach your good hand up and feel the area where the cut was, but it was gone.
"See, water can help you get rid of the cuts that ambrosia and nectar won't," reaching into his pocket, Dr. Wood pulls out a bag of ambrosia.
"Here have some," he offers you. Taking it, you feel renewed and energized.
"We'll take you to get x-rays to see what that fixed, but for now, you need to rest," and with that he's out the door.
Good? Bad? REVIEW!
