Barry's pov
Lofty got rid of the driver but i had to get away fast:
"I'm away!"
"Why?"
"Cause he's gonna call the police!"
"This isn't a police issue, he just needs you to speak to his boss so he isn't sued!"
"No, I'm away!"
"But what about your medicine?"
He made a good point so i stayed for a bit until Lofty went to get my medicine then i did a runner.

I persuaded Danny to stay then went to get his medicine, I hadn't been dealing with my other patients because i wanted him to feel safe which led to Tess having a go at me for not discharging him. When i got back to the bed he was gone so i had no choice but to start treating other patients, or try to, he wasn't gone long before he came back in pain:
"Where did you go?"
"It hurts!"
"Come on!"
He got back on a bed and told me what happened:
"I was hungry and it hurt!"
"What did you eat?"
"Salt and vinegar crisps!"
I handed him his medicine:
"These will work in a couple of days! If i booked you an appointment with someone else would you go?"
"No!"
"But they could help you look after yourself!"
"No! I'm alright!"
"Really?"
He looked up at me trying to act brave but i could see he didn't mean it:
"Yeah i'm fine!"
"Alright! Well i'm gonna make you an appointment for the dental hospital to sort that absess, ok?"
"Alright!"
I got Charlie to keep him company until his appointment time then he gave him a bag of stuff which he was grateful for then he turned around and gave me a big hug before leaving. I really cared about this boy, how could i leave him to get in that state again or worse!
