Dr. Pierce trekked out of the operating room to wash up. The boy he'd just finished was a piece of work. One thing for sure even if the boy didn't get an infection, if everything went perfectly then the boy would be sore and out of commission for whatever it was that kept the boy in the shape he was in. He appeared to be in wonderful physical shape other than all the scars the young man had on his body.
"Doctor Pierce, could I interest you in some coffee?" Nurse Kelly asked.
"No thanks, I still need to go tell his family his condition"
"I could go for you Ben."
"No, no thank you. I need to do it I'm afraid that with that being an old file that infection is going to run rampant in that young man and I'd rather get a feel for the family before things get too bad. I just know it is with him. Some people just seem to attract that sort of thing and I'm afraid he's one of them.
