Need to vent quickly.
My brother came home with a deep cut on his palm he inflicted whilst falling off a wall at his friends house. Our mum was half asleep as she works nights. She dressed it but becsuse she had a tablet and was drowzy Me and my sister took him down to A+E. We went with his friend (they're both 16)
Whilst there and we was waiting he asked me to get him some cigarettes for him but I refused (I'm against smoking, and won't buy them for anyone regardless)
The doctor eventually saw him and said not to drink or eat anything now incase surgery was required or something. He asked about smoking and she said she wouldnt recommend it.
After going to the next part of the hospital for an xray we had to wait in another room so his wound could be redressed as it had come loose by this point.
This is when he said he's not going anywhere until he has a fag.
I tried to deny him this as he was recommended not to, we had been there a while already and his
He ignored me and tried to head for the door but I stopped him by blocking his path and tried to urge him to the waiting room as I was worried about his wound and didnt want the smoking to delay anything. I was putting pressure on his back to try and get him to move (i wasn't pushing hard or anything). He claimed I was forcing him to go and was pushing him. I told him I was worried and that he could smoke all he wanted after. He kept throwing his wound in the way which obviously made me back off slightly as I wouldn't want to injure him further, not like I was doing anything anyway. I asked his friend to say something and he was just like "he only wants a fag I'll have one with him". This annoyed me further. I almost called his dad (long story as to why I thought this could work).
Eventually i let him go after he was rudely accusing me of being rough and ignoring me and my sister. I checked him in instead. After several hours his wound was finally dressed (though it needs surgery tomorrow) and I told him I'd drop the subject because I'm not trying to start a Fight but hes still adamant that I was pushing him harshly. I attempted to tell him I wasnt and was only worried about his health. I said i dont care he smokes and my feelings on it were nothing to do with it.
I've dropped it but my sister is pretty upset with the way were treated for trying to help him again.
we are back at home and Hes fine btw just in a slight bit of pain.
We need to go back tomorrow. Hes probably going to ignore orders (which were revised to no drinking, smoking or eating after 6am tomorrow) which will delay his treatment further.
They cannot close the wound until they preform surgery to check for nerve damage so its still a pretty big deal that he listens to instructions.
