"Even grown adults aren't immune to the tantrum," he could write a book on the shit he has seen in the ER. Seriously, people don't grow smarter as they grow older it seems, sometimes they just turn into bigger children.
Doctor Mcgraw is just wondering why Richard let his daughter punch a wall to begin with. He was probably also looking for back up conformation on Salome's story. Richard speaks volumes when he leans forward into the conversation rather then away. Not that the doctor is a specialist on lying or anything but if Richard was trying to avoid something or avoid the girl out of guilt or what have you, he probably would have kept back, to himself.
"Good thing I didn't hit you, then you would have been the one in here with a broken face." She has to use her other hand to sort of make a fist and wave it at her father with mock aggression. Yeah, it takes a lot of effort even to do that, God she is just exhausted and she has to think that he is exhausted as well.
"We have a portable x-ray machine, so you'll just need to go right down the hall." The doctor steps over to the computer in the room and logs on, entering in the order and then looks over at Salome. "On a scale from one to ten how bad is your pain. Ten being the absolute worst thing you've ever experienced and one being mild discomfort." The scale always made Salome wonder, is pain subjective? Is her ten worse then someone else's ten? Also: not that she has a lot of practice with this but she has watched enough TV to know that doctors probably thing people are scamming them for drugs. She doesn't want the doctor thinking she is doing that. Yeah, it makes a whole lot of sense.
"Uh," she looks at her hand and tries to make it tell her how much pain she is in. "A seven, or, uh, a six?" With the headache it's totally about a seven. The doctor nods and adds something to the order as well, something to make her not hurt any more.
