Not so much, I can go with the flow of things as well. I am concerned about him and like I said I will go and visit him but I'm uncomfortable with asking. I feel a hospital visit would be very extra considering his relatives and friends may be on hand that I've never met, that leads to a hasty introduction etc...maybe im thinking too much
Yeah, I can totally see that. If he's actually staying in there as opposed to just going there, being treated, and going back the same evening (isn't that what usually happens in the ER?), there might be family and close friends there tending to him, and I wouldn't really feel like it was my place. And if it were me in that situation, I would not want somebody I wasn't close to to come see. It's tiring and stressful to be around people when you aren't feeling well to me. Don't know how it is to him.
I would let him know that I was very concerned about him and ask if there was anything I could do for him: visit him in the hospital or would he prefer I check on him when he gets back home? I would just put the offer out there again. If he starts talking about antibiotics again I would let it go for good.
Yeah, I would just ask him. I'm so tired of not being able to be forthright with people, and people not just saying what they want. Ask him if he would like, or would mind, if you came to see him. And then do what he says.
