Hospital night's



The house was quiet, the soft hum of the late-night breeze barely audible through the open windows. It was one of those rare moments when everything felt peaceful. Everyone was sound asleep — Lorenzo in his room, Charles in his, Arthur tucked under his blanket, and their mother softly snoring in her bed. But not everyone was at ease.
In the room at the end of the hall, their little sister, YN, tossed and turned. Her stomach hurt. Not the kind of ache that would go away after a few minutes, but a deep, sharp pain that kept getting worse. She winced, her face scrunching up in discomfort as she pressed her hand to her lower abdomen. The young girl tried to take deep breaths, hoping the pain would pass, but it only intensified, stabbing at her like a knife.
Tears welled up in her eyes as the pain became unbearable. YN whimpered, then groaned aloud, clutching her stomach tightly. She was terrified, and the only thought in her mind was that she needed help — right now.
Without thinking, she pulled herself out of bed and stumbled down the hall. She paused outside Arthur’s door, panting heavily, her hand still pressed against her side. She didn’t want to wake anyone, but the pain was too much. She knocked softly at first, but when no response came, she knocked harder, then called out.
“Arthur… Arthur, please…” Her voice was strained, barely above a whisper, but filled with desperation.
Arthur stirred, groaning as he turned over in bed, blinking groggily. “YN? What’s wrong?” he mumbled, rubbing his eyes.
But then he saw her. The dim light from the hallway showed her tear-streaked face, her body hunched over in pain, and his heart jumped into his throat. Panic set in instantly.
“YN?!” Arthur bolted upright, scrambling out of bed. “Bebe, what happened? Are you okay?” His voice trembled as he rushed to her side.
“I-I don’t know,” YN sobbed, clutching her side tighter. “It hurts so much… I don’t know what’s wrong.”
Arthur’s eyes widened in fear. He’d never seen his sister like this before. Sweat poured down her face, and her breathing was labored. Without another word, Arthur grabbed her hand and started shouting.
“Mama! Lorenzo! Charles!” he screamed, his voice echoing down the halls. “Help! Something’s wrong with YN!”
In an instant, the entire house was awake. Footsteps thundered down the hallway, and the first to appear was their mother, still groggy and in her nightgown, but wide-eyed with concern.
“Arthur, what—” Pascale froze when she saw her daughter, her maternal instincts kicking in immediately. She rushed to her daughter’s side, crouching down to her level, brushing the hair away from her damp forehead. “Mon dieu, what’s wrong, ma chérie? Where does it hurt?”
YNcould only whimper, clutching her stomach harder. “My stomache… It hurts so much, Mama…”
By then, Lorenzo and Charles had appeared, both looking alarmed and confused.
“What’s going on?” Lorenzo asked, his face pale as he looked from his sister to his mother and back to Arthur.
“It’s her stomach,” Arthur explained, his voice shaking. “She’s in so much pain, she woke me up.”
Charles knelt beside YN, his heart racing. “It’s okay, ma puce. We’re here,” he murmured, his voice steady but laced with worry. “We’ll figure this out, okay? Just breathe.”
But YN couldn’t. The pain was unbearable, and tears streamed down her cheeks as she gasped for air.
“We need to take her to the hospital,” Pascale said firmly, her tone leaving no room for argument. “This isn’t normal.”
“Hospital? Now?” Arthur’s voice cracked. He was terrified.
“Yes, Arthur, now,” Lorenzo replied, already grabbing his phone and car keys. “We can’t wait.”
Within minutes, they had bundled YN into the car, her head resting on her mother’s lap as she groaned softly, her hand still clutching her side. Charles sat beside her, holding her hand tightly, while Arthur sat in the passanger seat, his wide eyes filled with panic.
The drive felt like an eternity. Each minute seemed to drag on as YN’s soft cries filled the car. Every time she whimpered in pain, Arthur’s stomach flipped. He kept looking at Charles and Lorenzo, hoping one of them would say something to make it better, but no one spoke.
When they finally arrived at the hospital, the nurses quickly took YN into a room, and a doctor came to examine her.
"Ma'am, we're going to have to take her in for some tests," the doctor said calmly, though the look in his eyes was serious. "It could be her appendix. We need to confirm, but we may have to perform surgery right away."
"Surgery?" Arthur nearly choked on the word, his eyes widening. He turned to Charles. "Surgery? But she was fine earlier today…"
Charles clenched his jaw, his mind racing. “They’ll fix her. We have to trust them.”
Their mother nodded, though her face was pale. “They’ll do everything they can, Arthur,” she said softly, brushing a strand of hair from YN’s face as the nurses wheeled her away toward the emergency room.
The waiting was agonizing. Arthur couldn’t sit still, pacing back and forth, biting his nails. Lorenzo kept his arms crossed, staring blankly at the hospital floor. Charles sat quietly, his leg bouncing up and down nervously, his eyes glued to the door they had taken their little sister through.
“What if something goes wrong?” Arthur whispered after what felt like hours. “What if… What if she—”
“She won’t,” Charles interrupted, his voice tight. “She’s strong. She’ll be okay.”
But the truth was, Charles wasn’t sure. None of them were.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the doctor came out, pulling off his gloves. “The surgery went well,” he said, offering a small smile. “Her appendix had ruptured, but we were able to remove it in time. She’ll need to rest, but she’s going to be okay.”
A wave of relief crashed over them, and Arthur felt his legs go weak as he sank into a chair, covering his face with his hands. Charles let out a long breath, his shoulders sagging, while Lorenzo placed a hand over his heart, as if steadying his rapid pulse.
“Thank you,” Pascale said, tears of gratitude in her eyes. “Can we see her?”
“She’s just waking up from the anesthesia. She might be a bit groggy, but yes, you can see her now,” the doctor replied.
The brothers practically ran to her room, their mother following behind. When they stepped inside, YN was lying in bed, her face pale but peaceful, her eyes fluttering open as she blinked at them.
“Hey,” she whispered, her voice hoarse.
“Bebe!” Arthur rushed to her side, his eyes wide with concern. “You scared the hell out of us!”
Lorenzo chuckled weakly. “You have no idea how panicked we were.”
Charles sat on the edge of her bed, his hand gently brushing her hair back. “You okay now?”
She nodded slowly, a small, tired smile forming on her lips. “I’m okay,” she whispered. “I feel… better.”
The boys immediately went into full protective mode. Lorenzo disappeared for a moment and returned with a bowl of soup from the hospital cafeteria. “Here, you need to eat something,” he said softly, holding the spoon up to her lips as she took small sips.
Charles shifted behind her, gently easing her back against his chest. “Just rest,” he murmured, running his fingers through her hair, his usual confident demeanor replaced with quiet tenderness. “We’re not going anywhere.”
Arthur, still shaken but wanting to do something to make her feel better, grabbed a small bottle of nail polish from her bag. “I’m gonna paint your nails, okay? You’ll look fabulous when you get out of here,” he said, trying to sound cheerful, though his hands were trembling.
YN giggled weakly. “You’re all ridiculous,” she muttered, but her heart swelled with love for her older brothers.
Their mother sat beside the bed, her voice soft as she opened YN’s favorite book, Le Petit Prince. “Let’s read a little, hmm? Just like we used to.”
As her mother began reading, the soft, familiar words filling the room, YN let her eyes close, her brothers and mother surrounding her with love. She felt safe. She felt cared for. And despite the pain, despite the fear, she knew she would be okay.
With her head resting on Charles’ chest, her nails being painted by Arthur, soup being spoon-fed by Lorenzo, and her mother’s gentle voice reading her favorite story, YN smiled.
Her family would always be there for her, no matter what.

When it comes to the batfam discovering that Tim Drake is missing his spleen, it is typically portrayed either as an injury or illness becoming very problematic due to his lack of a significant part of the immune system, or some kind of argument about Tim feeling that the batfam doesn’t care about him in the same way he cares for them. While both of these are entertaining, I find the more mundane conversational bombshell approach: someone is missing their appendix, another has had their tonsils out, someone still has all their organs, and… what do you mean you don’t have a spleen??

When I got my appendix taken out: I was nine years old, in a foreign country and had to leave the hospital early in order to get on a plane even though I really shouldn’t be flying yet. It’s was fine, cannon event, it was character development.
What I’m trying to say is that Billy Batson does not deserve an appendix and should have it ripped out immediately
I spent two weeks wasting away on a couch watching glee. I remember none of it.
I want him to experience the superhero equivalent of that. Like, yeah when he’s powered up he’s fine, but will he remember to power up? Like, he shows up to a meeting two days late because he’s been delirious all week and doesn’t remember waking up.

Comrades,
I know I’ve been off the grid for a bit. Turns out, appendicitis isn’t just a word you vaguely hear about until it sucker-punches you in the gut like a capitalist gutting workers’ rights.
I was in the postcoital throes of having beaten Metal Gear Solid 2 on Extreme Difficulty (fuck the metal gear RAY fights) and felt like I needed to take a big ol’ deuce.
I take my usual crouching position, standing on the rim of the toilet bowl as I always do and suddenly a stabbing pain shoots through my lower extremities. I am in the worst pain of my life and will surely die.
One ambulance ride and emergency surgery later, and here I am—stuck in a hospital bed, unable to do much more than contemplate my own mortality, the broken healthcare system, and, uh… the incredibly cute nurse who gave me a sponge bath.
Yes. You read that right.
I, Doucheroo, fearless rural anarcho-communist warrior, advocate for mutual aid, hater of hierarchy, was utterly reduced to a stammering mess by a nurse who, in my pain-med-induced haze, may as well have been a celestial being of kindness and grace.
It started with the words no revolutionary ever expects to hear:
“Alright, hon, let’s get you cleaned up.”
Now, under normal circumstances, I’d be screaming about how the ruling class exploits labor and how we need to dismantle private property. But in that moment? I was barely holding in a wheezy “o-okay” while internally debating if I should just launch myself out of the window to escape my own embarrassment.
She was professional, of course. It was all just routine to her. But to me? Every gentle wipe with that damp, warm sponge felt like a direct attack on my dignity. My brain was in absolute crisis mode:
“Doucheroo, do not make eye contact. That’s weird.”
“Oh no, she’s talking to me casually. Do I joke back? No, that’s weird too.”
“Is she laughing at me or just being nice? Am I reading too much into this?”
“STOP BLUSHING, YOU COWARD.”
“Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? You’re ready and you’re willing. If we can count on you, Scooby Doo, we know we’ll catch that villain” (Scooby theme absolutely destroys my boner).
Meanwhile, my body was betraying me in ways beyond just a rogue appendix. My ears? Redder than a Soviet flag. My voice? Barely functional. My entire sense of self? Reduced to that of a shy Victorian maiden swooning at the slightest hint of affection.
I kept my responses short. A mumbled “thanks” here. A barely audible “cool” there. She probably thought I was either the most socially awkward patient in existence or still suffering from the effects of anesthesia. Either way, the damage was done. The revolution? On pause. Doucheroo? Utterly defeated by the dual forces of kindness and professionalism.
Now that I’m home and recovering, I’d like to pretend this never happened. But let’s be real—I’ll be haunted by the memory of that sponge bath until the day we overthrow capitalism.
Anyway, comrades, let this be a lesson: No matter how tough you think you are, no matter how ready you are to take on the system, a cute nurse with a washcloth can and will reduce you to a flustered, awkward mess.
Until next time—stay hydrated, stay radical, and may your organs never betray you.

do you take requests? If you do, could you write a semi-long Peter Parker appendicitis fic? I think you already have a few, but I really love Peter Parker appendicitis fics.
I too, love a good Irondad appendicitis fic! I've written two of them! I think I would happily write another if a good idea, that was different enough from my other two, popped into my head. But for now, I'm not sure what that would look like...
In the meantime, here are links to my two as, well as a few of my favorite appendicitis trope fics!

Operation No Operations
The medical floor within the Avengers Tower is set to undergo significant upgrades. As such, everyone is advised to refrain from participating in activities that could result in serious injury. Including Peter. Especially Peter. It goes about as well as you would expect��
Appendicitis It Is
Peter isn't feeling well at school and wants nothing more than to go home and sleep it off. A Text message at the end of the day quickly changed his plans. Apparently, he would be spending the weekend with Tony. He just hopes that whatever is going on with his stomach passes quickly...
Bedtime Stories by Call_Me_Coley
Finding Peter curled in a ball, silently sobbing, would definitely make the top ten on Tony’s nightmare list. Hearing the screams he made as soon as Tony tried to pick him up made the top five. OR Peter is in distress and it’s Tony to the rescue.
Appendicitis by tommyparkerr
In which Peter doesn't realize until too late that the flu shouldn't be this painful, and Tony Stark is right there to both lecture and comfort him (and accidentally call him his kid in the process).
Febrile by Hale13
“Don’t,” Peter grouses, spitting out the last bit of bile in his mouth in the sink in the men’s restroom at Midtown and pointedly ignoring the look of disapproval both Ned and MJ are giving him in the mirror as he rinses his mouth out and washes his hands.
The Exception by blondsak
Stranded in a remote area with no path to safety and little in the way of resources, Tony and Peter do their best to get by in increasingly dangerous conditions. But what’s at first a manageable—if still totally craptastic—situation, soon becomes a race against the inevitable when a certain pesky organ of Peter’s decides to go rogue at what has to be the most inopportune time possible. Enter Tony ‘MacGyver’ Stark: a guy who doesn’t believe in silly things like inevitabilities, and who isn’t letting Peter go without a fight
Peter's Stupid Appendix by sahiya
It started with a stomach ache.

On the night of April 29-30, 1961, a member of the 6th Soviet Antarctic Expedition, the 27-year-old doctor Leonid Rogozov, successfully performed an appendectomy on himself in the Antarctic Novolazarevskaya station - a surgery to remove an inflamed appendix.

This rabbit hole
Is the key to everything. The Groundhog Day curse of the wizard-ess is OVER.
I might as well delete all my meta and just leave this one in my #Gingerpovs folder.
Let me explain:
She placed a curse, just like in the movie Groundhog Day. Storer steals ideas from his favorite screenwriters, sneaky lil sadist.
Later on, I will go over why that´s great Sydcarmy news, but first, hear me out:
The curse created a time loop that opened up in S2 when he threw his phone:
That´s when Carmy himself "activated", for lack of a better word, the curse, when he heard the words "I-I really love you," because not only is love a curse in Carmy´s life, but also because he had already decided by then that there was no place in his life for love, or -amusement or enjoyment-, and he was A-OK with that.
And this curse and time loop ended in S3, AKA: the "anticlimactic and very underwhelming" season.
Ofc C is the catalyst of it all. In the movie the "ex GF" is a tacit character and that subplot was never shot to begin with, it was just in one of the drafts of the original script for the studio executives only, who demanded an explanation to why Phil was stuck in a time loop (I´m sure Storer was aware of this trivia bc he´s a movie nerd, especially of movies from this era, in which he finds lots of inspo). On the show, she was unfortunately NOT TACIT at all.
C is the catalyst of it all because she said the cursed words.
A curse takes a wizard to place it (the accurate term for female wizard is "wizardess" or "witch"), and Michael described her as such in S2:
A few weeks ago, I pointed out that the basic concept of the show was that it was a circle. I have already talked about the many analogies of the show´s main plot with the circle of life (AKA the wheel) and the endless cycles, as in the consecutive seasons of a year (they are still in 2023 on the show for a reason and that should change in S4, which Sugar´s baby´s head already foreshadows in the trailer) that are the different phases of the series, being the next one: THE SPRINGTIME, because it´s what comes after Carmy´s Blue period, etc.
I had already noticed that the time had been RESET in 03x10, it was pretty obviously depicted HERE, actually.
But what I hadn´t noticed till now is that 2 circles form a LOOP:
We are talking about 2 seasons here. Seasons 2 and 3 were the loop, and now S4 is the springtime, the season of love. Clearly S3 was the winter metaphorically speaking. So S4 can´t be anything other than the next season.
Storer´s writing tends to be a full-circle kind of writing.
In S1, he started with a bad dream, and then by 01x08 he wrapped it in a pretty bow, with a dream-like vision. A good dream.
Each season is a circle for Storer
Seasons 2 & 3 overlapped, and none of those seasons went full circle, so a loop was created in storytelling terms. Not all cliffhangers are open endings per se. S1, for instance, ended in a way in which, if there had been no S2, that ending could have worked by itself just fine, and it was open enough to continue on in a next season if the show was renewed, which he didn´t know at the time of writing that season, so he gave S1 a full circle kind of season finale, a finale that could have worked on its own as a series finale, if need be. Although he obviously did it in a semi-open ending way, which gave him the chance to reopen the circle and resume the storytelling, if needed.
He reset the timer in S2,
He did that to start telling a whole new story, not the story of Carmy, Michael´s brother, who is this Carmy:
youtube
but the story of Carmy, the man, that is why all the flashbacks that gave us a glimpse of what Carmy´s past looked like were included in S2. We saw a lot of Michael and the whole Berzatto family dynamic from Carmy´s perspective, specifically.
There´s a reason why S2 opened with this other monologue where he talked about his family life:
youtube
So, S2, more precisely S2´s season finale, was the beginning of THE LOOP, which went on all throughout S3, till it finally closed in 03x10.
So this loop Carmy "walked into" began when he heard the L word in the walk-in
and ended when he said the T word.
Those words came from a very vulnerable place Carmy was at that night, he was raw, after this:
I always called S3 the Loop Season, the symbolism of the L opening and closing it made it quite obvious for me but technically that loop started when this song/score started playing in 02x10 and it continued playing all throughout 03x01 → APPENDIX META (read all of it because it´s more than just about the music). *can´t post another vid here, so I included an appendix for audio purposes.
S4 The Love Season
This season of love or springtime that will blossom in S4 is, like I said, metaphorical and symbolic, not literal, of course, because it will take place in the fall and the winter in the beginning. There is a chance that by 04x10, the TL has progressed enough to put the characters in the spring season of the following year (2024), but that´s not even that important. What´s important is the philosophical meaning of that season, which is the season that symbolically all the characters are going to go through in S4 and thus, complete the full cycle of nature, of the 4 seasons.
The springtime is CRUCIAL because JAW mentioned this movie:
*Correction: It wasn´t cut out of the film; it wasn´t even ever shot in the first place.
I also explained this in the appendix because I wanna loop back into this concept over and over, LOL! Read both pls.
Moving on:
The Groundhug day tradition is all about the winter (blue period/S3)
And the springtime is all about love and starting over (rosé period/S4). In other words, since the Groundhog Day ended on the show, as JAW confirmed, what follows is the springtime, the season of love.
Carmy´s shadow
Carmy´s shadow can´t be seen in the walk.in because the lighting is casting it exactly where the camera is, so we can´t see if he saw his shadow, making winter longer, meaning stepping into the wintertime that his blue period was, but what we can safely say is that symbolically Carmy did have a close encounter with his own shadow in that walk-in that night. He fought his own shadow and lost that round. That is why the man got stuck in that walk-in, and the one that walked out was the beast, The Bear, the name of that very episode, btw.
Of course, this was a whole process. The last glimpse of humanity we saw in Carmy was when he smoked his last cigarette in the back alley.
Groundhog Day is not a celebration, but a time loop in the cult movie. A curse, even. Plus Rita Syd, also has her own loopy behavior that needed to be overcome in S3.
Such a time loop ends when Phil Connors delivers his sincere monologue on the beauty of Groundhog Day, and his curse is lifted.
Phil was excellent at what he did as a weatherman, and that EXCELLENCE is what made him vulnerable to this curse in the first place.
Once stuck in the time loop of the curse, the ex GF, THE WIZARD/witch, placed on him, he symbolically relived the same second over and over in the middle of what he was doing
The point is that Phil only escapes once he begins using his powers/talents, for good instead of evil. Meaning: Once he realizes what his real purpose as a chef is.
The final act of winning Rita's heart—not through scheming, screaming
but through goodness—is what broke the cycle, as I also mentioned in the appendix bc why not?
My point is that now that Groundhog Day is over for Carmy and for "Ayo" as JAW said in the interview, we, Sydcarmy truthers should have NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, because we already know what´s next and how it will end, whether that´s in S4, as I predict or in 5. I´m pretty sure S4 will be the Sydcarmy endgame going canon season finale and S5, if it exists, will be actual Sydcarmy established relationship that may or may not include a break up and subsequent reconciliation because, let´s face it, working together at a Michelin star restaurant and making a relationship work, and all the baggage, etc, can´t be easy.
Bonus track 1: DUH! Even Clairmy stands admit the show is about this:
Bonus track 2: The Star Dish, as I predicted LAST YEAR. The S4 poster either hides the star dish in plain sight as I predicted HERE (which is what I think is the most accurate prediction), OR the Plan B could be even better, because what if that is the Sydcarmy canon catalyst dish? Meaning: What if they lose the star the first time around, with that dish, Will Guidara EMP style, as I mentioned in the APPENDIX but since, as I explained in that meta about that sketching scene of S3, Carmy was thinking about the menu/Syd when he created it and made a sketch of it, as per usual when he thinks about THEIR MENU, and eventually in S4 he confesses SHE WAS HIS MUSE to create that dish and she goes: AWWWW and the transition to canon goes from there and that is why Storer put it on the poster of the season when that´s gonna happen? Wouldn´t that be 1000 times better? Probably... IDC how it happens, but this could be a cool and very Storer-friendly way if you ask me. I still believe they will win the star with a dish they create TOGETHER, either that one when they tweak it together, or the Coca Cola braised ribs with risotto that, with his help, will finally get the right amount of acid and be well balanced.

how my two day camping expedition (probably) gave me appendicitis
this is kind of funny lowkey so you guys are allowed to laugh about it in the reblogs/replies
so. i was fourteen, going on my bronze level duke of edinburgh expedition - in case you're reading this and not british, the dofe award is a qualification where part of doing it is participating in a 2 day 1 night expedition out somewhere. you have to do stuff like bring your own food to cook, put up your own tent, etc. if you never knew what day old peanut butter sandwiches that have slowly cooking in a 65 litre rucksack taste like, you will find out!!! we had to pack a LOT of snacks for the event. i think i ate about seven meat sticks in two days.
i cannot be sure but it was probably the awful diet over those two days that triggered my appendix to burst (appendixes can burst because of hardened stool blocking access to the appendix from the large intestine or some kind of infection).
ANYWAY, the expedition was over two days - saturday and sunday. i did the most walking i've ever done in a day, ate mostly raw porrige (oatmeal), got mildly electrocuted by a fence, wandered around countryside with five other fourteen year olds and one paper map which only one of us knew how to read, and had to run across a dual carriageway with cars going 80km/h+ holding hands with my maths teacher. wild shit. i got back sunday evening, and on monday night i started having stomach pains. i thought nothing of it and thought it was either the obscene amount of meat sticks i ate, or i was about to be on my period. i stayed off school tuesday, and when i didnt feel any better on wednesday my dad took me to the gp (general practitioner) to get me checked out. just in case, he said. he was almost certain it wasnt appendicitis.
well the gp sent me to a&e, i had a blood test, and about ten hours later i was being wheeled into surgery to get my inflammed appendix removed. my operation was, i distinctly remember, was from 10:40pm-12:40am (i remember seeing the clocks in the anasthesia room). my last words before i went under were me looking at the light on the ceiling, and singing (badly) "and at last i see the light..." (from tangled the movie). when i came to, my throat hurt so badly i could not talk. at all. i was told it was the breathing tube.
all things considered, i recovered pretty well. i had no appetite for a few days, and stuff that was greasy/oily or particularly strong tasting made me nauseous. by far the worst part was having this drainage bag tube my lower belly. it was extremely uncomfortable and i still remember the pain when they took it out. i recovered pretty quickly otherwise - the thursday morning when i woke properly, i was standing at around ten am, and walking a few hours later. by the afternoon i was getting around the patient ward just fine. the friday tomorrow i was discharged from the hospital, feeling extremely weak. (keep in mind anything i tried to eat was either thrown up or passed right through me (i took a laxative when i thought it was constipation) and i ate maybe one meal's equivalent throughout thursday and friday). and i recovered :)

Tarzan - Tarzan the Fearless (1933)

If aliens ever come down to earth and we find out they aren’t hostile and just curious about us then I call dibs on telling them about the appendix. I think it would be fun to watch their faces as I tell them about this useless organ that sometimes decides to self destruct.

In What’s New Scooby-Doo the gang goes to Antartica which means they all have had their appendix removed.
Also the pilot exclaiming proudly that she is an “Ice-ist” does not sound great in the modern day.
