Leaning on the horn , Cu stops the truck in front of the hospital and leaps out. Jacques opens the heavy front door, sees Cu, and dashes into the rain to his side.

"Good. You found them. Together?"

If someone were out in the desert and got dehydrated

What would be good things to put a four year old kid on when he first gets rescued?

Here's what I did, but I am not sure it makes any kind of medical sense. Jacques is supposed to be a doctor, even though nobody ever comes to his clinic...

What would he fix/do for Despina?

Let them have little sips of water and pat them with luke warm water to rehydrate their skin.

An icy cold shower? I've never been anyplace where that was an option. I sort of doubt it... I don't know about a warm one, though.

Kids often will take a popsicle easier than sips of water...all ER's have 'em! It's often very hard to get little kids to drink, even when they're dry! If they're VERY dehydrated, they would start an IV and rehydrate them that way. :)

Cool! If I'm ever in an ER, I'll ask for one!
