I see you have the machine that goes "Ping! Beep!"
I don't know how common it is in every ICU, but they do keep it attached for alcohol poisoning cases as far as I know

I thought it was a Doctor Who joke.

I doubt we'll see Angus. Anyone who would get in touch with him is also likely to assume that Faye's binge drinking has been a result of their breakup, and that having him show up probably wouldn't be a good idea. An exception might be Hannelore, whose romantic streak might convince her Angus showing up would be what Faye wants.

--- Quote from: Kelamin on 25 Jan 2015, 20:42 ---The way I see it there are two possibilities. Faye has either died of alcohol poisoning or has passed out in hospital after punching Marten. Now with the passing out, I don't think she's going to wake up 100% ok. Alcohol poisoning is serious business and I don't think Jeph is going to play it off as "she went to emergency after being vomitiously drunk and is now 100% fine."

I mean...I think generally, you're either okay or you're not when it comes to alcohol poisoning. Exceptions I know of are:
* If you stopped breathing while you were passed out, you might have brain damage.
* If it happens a bunch of times, you might get Korsakoff syndrome and/or liver disease.Of course, "100% fine" is admittedly not going to be a good description of Faye, especially in the state-of-mind department, even without major health complications.
Is it cold in here?:
Poor Faye didn't even get to enjoy any cute EMT butts.

--- Quote from: TheEvilDog on 25 Jan 2015, 19:14 ---Prediction for this week: Faye wakes up, shrugs off Marten's concerns, possibly even snapping at him. She paints Dora in a negative light and goes to look for another job aka goes to the nearest dive. During the week, Faye drinks some more and possibly decks someone. Faye either ends up arrested or in hospital to pump her stomach.

Again, I think it's worthwhile to see what Jeph himself has written on the subject.

Jeph didn't "hit bottom". He didn't fuck up his strip or alienate every single person in his life before he wised up. He just had a really bad experience from drinking, and realized he had to stop.
Obviously Faye could fall a lot further than Jeph did. But the question would remain - why bother putting one of his characters through that much additional pain and anguish?
