--- Quote ---(I'm roughly 99.99% certain it was Faye who punched Marten. I mean, what, was one of the nurses going to punch him?)

--- Quote ---The only other reasonable explanation would have been that Clinton appeared out of nowhere to punch Marten for not showing up to the date with Claire. And since today's comic show that he (or anybody else) is not around, the only remaining explanation is Faye.

--- Quote ---The punch was from a right hand - if it had been Clinton, it would have been pretty obvious :-)

Looking at the panels again, I noticed I missed the whole blackout time lapse sequence thing. So yeah, it does look like it was Faye. Now, if it was her, was it a "for all time's sake I'm ok I punch you to let you know that thank you" punch or a "you brought me to the hospital? I don't need help fuck off" kind of punch?
I'm really doing a lot of run on sentences lately....
I hope she'll be ok, but I do forsee a long recovery time emotionally, provided that 1) her friends are there to prevent her from spiraling down further and 2) she is not so stubborn as to go in denial and push them away or refuse their help

That's more to the point, yeah. I don't think so, and I think Marten knows that. He looks kind of panicked/worried, and I think it's dawned on him that this isn't an isolated incident.
dexeron:
I interpreted Marten's repeating that question as evidence that he understands that this isn't some isolated accident. That there's a more serious underlying problem.
I wonder if the healthcare worker he's talking to is going to pick up on that and gather some more pertinent information. How does that work, for you medical folks? If someone expresses signs/information that there's a more serious problem/potential for later self-harm, do any provisions kick in (like a longer stay, mandatory counseling of some kind, anything like that?)

Do you really not have any form of general unemployment insurance over there in the USA ?!?
--- End quote ---
Yes, but it is subsistence-level only and only lasts for a few months at best. After that, you are considered willfully destitute and treated accordingly.

Also, in many states, it can be limited further or completely eliminated if the employee was released for gross or willful negligence or other serious infractions. Faye's actions constitute a scenario that would limit her access to unemployment, but I don't think that Dora would actually do anything against her in that.

--- Quote from: TinPenguin on 27 Jan 2015, 05:28 ---Faye recovered from the loss of her dad, but she wasn't okay.
She recovered from her car accident, but she wasn't okay.
She'll recover from this, but...?
--- End quote ---
In this context, I'd guess:
Recovery = won't die
Full recovery = will recover to same state of physical health as before.
Mentally, of course, she needs to progress to a BETTER state than before, but that's not for the medic to know much about.
--- End quote ---
Be okay = good physical and mental health. The lady doctor can help with the first. Then, I guess Faye needs an appointment with Dr. Corrine again to fix her up mentally. I have missed Corrine, and look forward to her reappearance. However, Corrine cannot do miracles. Faye's friends also need to do whatever is needed.
