1. Glad Marten called the EMT's and didn't try to deal with it himself.
2. Doubt we'll see Angus again soon, if ever. Faye dumped him, he's not responsible, and he's in the middle of trying to not blow a huge career break.
3. Doubt Faye's dead (nor Pintsize). But it looks to me as if she's in the ICU, which is pretty serious. They may well have sedated her if she's being aggressive.
4. Alcoholism thrives in secrecy and denial. Neither is possible with Faye in ICU. Which is a good thing.
5. The QC crew of twenty-somethings is tight-knit, and probably has little experience of seeing each other suddenly bundled off to hospital. Dora is going to feel a real punch in the gut, knowing her firing of Faye led to this. (Dora's blameless here, but it won't feel that way to her.) There may be some blaming to go on, either self-blaming or other-blaming. They'll all wonder why they missed it.
6. The $64,000 question is will Faye continue in denial, or will this be enough to make her deal honestly with her condition. (Assuming she recovers, which I expect her to.)
Blackbird:
Oh wow. This strip.
For another interpretation of the title. "Close to Home" doesn't have to be close to home to Jeph. This is also close to home for Faye. I can't find the strip(s) in question, but I recall Faye talking about how she fell in and out of consciousness after ramming her car into that tree, and it's been heavily implied that Faye was trying to kill herself when she did that. The title may be evoking the tree episode and how Faye has been here before.
Keep in mind too that Angus is the first real relationship that Faye has had since her dad killed himself (her thing with Sven was never a relationship) and losing Angus probably tore off alot of those band-aids from wounds she had convinced herself weren't still bleeding.
For a sometimes cheesy gag-of-the-day comic, the underlying story in QC is just so well-written.
Omega Entity:
Alright, I'll join in on some postulating. Mainly because I'm bored, tired, and don't feel like going to bed yet.
There's a (remote) possibility that Sven could come into play here. He confessed to thinking he's in love with Faye not long ago, and if he gets wind of this I can totally see him showing up at the hospital to lend support. It'd be an extremely poor decision to make and would cause a shitload of drama, but this -is- Sven we're talking about - he really doesn't think things through, and especially has a penchant for thinking of things from a very self-centric point of view, i.e. not taking others' feelings into account when trying to get what he wants.
That, and I just don't see Jeph having Sven drop that massive confession bombshell and then not having it come into play sooner rather than later.
explicit:
So... who punched Marten?

That makes a lot of sense, and we could actually see some Svenectomy drama between Dora/Sven
