Hater: [peeks in, n sees the doc in charge] How's his condition, doc?

Doc: Physically he's fine. A little dehydrated from his, umm, ordeal n also prolly need some food in him, bt he'll be fine. Mentally wise, I'm not sure

Hater: Thanks, doc. Is it OK for me to see him

Doc: Sure, bt not too long [leaves the room to give him privacy]
