What is this character's prognosis?

Asked by Draconess25 (4461points) April 25th, 2010

My girlfriend & I are in the midst of writing a yaoi story, & her character got in a bit of….trouble.

A bit of information on said character:
His name is Andrew Wecker, but he calls himself Switchblade. He was born & raised in a remote (fictional) city in Germany, & was head of his town’s militia until it was destroyed. After running from the law for several years (he’s 23), he made his way to a remote town in Sweden.

He has a muscular build, is 5’9”, & weighs 143 lbs. He’s also a cocky, sadomasochistic, trigger-happy alcoholic. And he’s not the brightest crayon in the box. And, though I doubt this matters, he has short-ish messy black hair & rose-gold eyes.

How he screwed up:
He’d just gone through alcohol withdrawals, & he left his boyfriend’s apartment to go find the nearest bar. He was still pretty weak, & had no weapon with him at the time. After getting lost (I said he wasn’t too smart!), he got jumped by a group of people.

Andrew’s current condition:
He’s been shot multiple times (it doesn’t mention how many), & the worst is in his chest. The bullet got lodged between his ribs on the left side, but it didn’t punture the lung. He also has a compound fracture in his right shin, & a mild concussion. His shoulder was dislocated, but Michael (his boyfriend) popped it back in place.

He’s able to sit up with some effort, but he gets lightheaded easily. Also, his wounds are bandaged, but no antiseptic has been used. His leg has been straightened out & bandaged, but has no proper splint. Michael won’t take him to a hospital, because of some….bad experiences. Luckily, he usually heals twice as fast as most people.

So, what’s his prognosis? We’re letting him live, but what you do?
