Rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub

A little more detail and what caused the hole in his small intestine. Due to the blunt force on his body, the small instestine pushed up against his abnominal area and created a pressure bulb that burst, thus creating a hole. The leak was not detected to be in the small intestine because it was a slow leak. It would normally have leaked a larger amount of toxic fluids into his system sooner had the hole not been pushed up against his body, which acted as a plug.

The repair is all well and good, but it means he will need to stay an additional 5 days in Oakland. The doctors say he needs to stay because it standardly takes 4-5 days for the intestines to function properly after a repair. Furthermore, a feeding tube had been inserted into his nose and apparently heads way down south. So Mak is getting some grub tonight. Too bad it's not Oscar's.
