Maybe, having your dad go with you to the ER could provide you some comfort. They want it on record so that if you pursue it in court, it can make the tide change over to your side. They might just want to assist with the shock of what's happened. Being hospitalized myself, many come in very emotional but there are highly trained individuals there to assist you with that.
I know the fear, all too well. It's very debilitating in itself. What do you have had or done that has provided you comfort in the past?
