Chapter 17th Differences Between The Two
Once Esposito was placed into a room after waiting two hours, he was feeling some what better once the medication started to work with his leg and knee, he was able to move a little bit better in his bed, after the nurse getting her patient settled in for the night.
Dr. Woo walked in making his rounds on the floor, he asked the nurse in his language on how he was doing in the first place.
She tells Dr. Woo, finally the spasms are finally ending, his blood pressure and all other vitals have dropped as well, I have already marked the numbers on the chart." She goes to show him with her finger.
"Thank you." He walks over to Esposito telling him, he needed to touch the sensitive areas.
"Thanks, I will be sure to hang on just in case." Dr. Woo didn't understand the meaning of his phrase.
"This might hurt a little, so please tell me when it starts to hurt." He touched the top part of his right leg for where he made Javier winced in pain from his touch.
"Jesus!, that hurt's like hell, doc."
"Very well, I will stop for now, nurse please make a note on his chart, patient needs medication to be raised."
"Before you leave Doctor Woo, is it possible to have a bit to eat, I seem to be extremely hungry after what happen to me?"
"Off course, I will call the kitchen to have them bring something up for you, plus Anders will help you with getting a sandwich from the nurse's station break room."
"I will go take care of that right away Dr. Woo, but in the meantime Mr. Esposito, I will bring your friend Sung Wung to come see you for a few minutes."

Sung Wung needed to call someone to let them on what had happened, it was Beckett that she had called at ten o'clock in the morning in the United States.
Kate Beckett was coming from a meeting with several of of staff at the police plaza, she was not pleased with the results having taken almost two hours of her time.
Beckett goes to answer her phone having just arrived to her office piled with reports that needed to be signed off and labeled. "Beckett!"
"I am sorry Kate to be calling you, but I wanted to call and let you know that Javier was brought into the hospital four hours ago."
"What happen? She asked quickly before going to sit down onto her seat.
"Blood clots with the right leg, knee and groin area, all caused from side effect from the medication that was given to him."
"Charlie horses I call them Sung, and I might say are very painful when not taken care of right away, my husband Richard suffers with them on occasion, and believe me they hurt!"
"I have never heard of "Charlie Horse" you say, I need to ask Dr. Woo taking care of Javier about it when I see him."
"Please Sung Wung give my best to Esposito, I know it's not fun being sick all of the time after what had happen ."
"I was just so scared Kate, when he woke up screaming from the spasms, I had to call the ambulance right away, everyone was great with me, along with Javier's nurse Judith, she helped a great deal.
"I am just glad that everything worked out just fine with you and Esposito."
"I need to go, the nurse came in to tell me that I can go in to see him."
"Just let me know when Esposito is released from the hospital, I would be sure to let Kevin Ryan his partner know about it." She ends the call to follow the nurse to his room.
She walks into his room with a smile, the stress was taking a toll on her. He looks up from reading some forms that was given to him.
"These forms are not in English, I don't know how to fill them out at all." She chuckled at his humor.
"I will fill them out for you, this hospital and many like it in this country do not have English forms, or anywhere else matter of fact."
"Just great, have I am a visitor, and I don't even know how to understand the language."
"You will Javier, I will teach you a little bit at a time, and when it comes to the baby, he or she will be taught both English and Korean as part of the cultures."
"That's good, I would hate to see that our daughter or son would not be able to understand how to speak the proper way, like I was when I was little."
"By the way Javier, I was speaking with Captain Beckett earlier, she told me something that I never heard of before."
"What's that?" He asked.
"Javier, what is a "Charlie Horse"? She was amused by his overall reaction to the question.
