[VOICE]

So help me, you will finish this round of antibiotics or you will live to regret it. I don't care what the other doctor said-- if the other doctor let his patients jump off a bridge, would you do that too? Besides, it came back. Clearly you weren't "better."

[There's a pause, and someone talking in the background. 'Til she cuts him off.]

Don't you take that tone with me young man.

[That might be a mumbled apology.]

Good. Now, you remember to call, all right? I don't want to be waiting up all night worrying about you.

You'll give me gray hairs, I swear.

Whether they like you or not shouldn't matter.

Now you sound like House. Occasionally you do get more flies with honey than with abuse.

audio;

[as_damaged]

I hardly think insisting someone actually finish their course of antibiotics is abusive.

[intheblanks]

Or you'll live to regret it?

audio;

[as_damaged]

When his earache comes back.

audio;

[intheblanks]

Perfectly reasonable advice.

audio;

[as_damaged]

Is that meant to be sarcastic?

[She so does not have time for your sass, young man.]

audio;

[intheblanks]

[It was perfectly reasonable advice, couched in slightly dramatic terms.]

I have a feeling I'll be scolded either way.

audio;

[as_damaged]

[Isn't that what you're counting on, Chase?]

Then I don't see the point in doing it, since you clearly already know better.

[It depends whether she'd still be mad tomorrow - he'd stop if it stopped being fun.]

You're washing your hands of me?

audio;

[as_damaged]

[She's not mad, she's just flustered. No one listens to Dr. Mom. Especially if Dr. Dad and Dr. Uncle and Dr. Irresponsible Grump and the rest of the Hospital write her off as the scary one.

She probably won't feel that way tomorrow.

Much.]

You're not one of my patients, it's not my fault if you can't take care of yourself.

audio;

[intheblanks]

[Wait, wait. Does this make him Dr. Dad? Because he could be okay with that.]

I've never seen you do anything because you're afraid of getting the blame if you don't. [That's why he does things.] You do things because you think they're right.

audio;

[as_damaged]

[There are a lot of doctors in the Hospital, Chase, don't get too cocky.

Besides, if House is here they're both baby doctors by default, curse notwithstanding.]

Should I re-evaluate trusting you to take care of yourself?
