Rachel will flutter over to Elliot's and Edgar's side as soon as they re-enter the room. The doctor will assess the situation thoroughly before beginning to reply.
Yes, they'll be allowed to stay. Yes, they'll be allowed to be helpful. Edgar will be directed to help finish off the cleaning. Rachel will be asked to help as the doctor does their best to close-- or at least cover-- the wounds.
There'll be more blood yet, before the job's done. There'll be whimpers of pain and a bit of struggle from Elliot, which Rachel will soothe to the best of her ability.
There'll be a tired sigh from Dr. Epstein when all's said and done.
"We need to get him to the hospital still," the doctor says, "He's lost a lot of blood, and I'm worried the wounds may still get infected. I'm going to go get a stretcher-- the two of you stay here and keep an eye on him. I'll be right back. Run if you need me."
Rachel, shaking and with a sob in her throat, will reach for Edgar once the doctor departs.
