If I were an adult author, I'd totally call people up or drive places and, you know, get this all from the horse's mouth. But I am not. So I'm going to ask very specific questions and hope someone knows what the heck is going on so I'm not like, "Artistic license! I have one!"
Anyway, I have three specific topics I'm curious about for a book I'm editing.
First off, I'm rather aware what happens when you call 911 and an ambulance comes. But what happens if, say, you're with two friends in the middle of the woods and you've been attacked by dogs, hmm? What happens to the dogs? What happens to you? Can a friend ride along? I don't know.
On a similar topic, if you merely have a nasty dog bite on your arm, you'll get rabies shots, right? But what if your guardians aren't picking up the phone? Will you be kept overnight if the sun's starting to set? Will your friends be able to stay in the room? Will they have to wait? If so, how easy is it for a nurse to sneak them in--and how often does that really happen?
Third topic. Say you have PTSD or, well, you've been through a lot of traumatic experiences. You're in therapy because of it at, say, sixteen/seventeen. You live with your aunt and uncle. Your therapist's father was a therapist and she followed in his shoes but isn't really, ahem, that good.
^Simply: What would go on during a therapy session in general? How much is the therapist allowed to tell a minor's caretakers? (How not good/skeevy can you be before you're fired or whatever? Just curious.)
That's it for now. If anyone has any answers that seem rather serious/true, I thank you for that retroactively.
