Beta: sandymg who gave me the way to end it--thank you!
Disclaimer: Not mine, but I'm finally back to play with the Winchesters!
A/N: Wanting to get back to writing my boys but needing inspiration, I asked my flist to give me episode quotes to use as jumping off points.  This is the first one, inspired by beelikej who gave me this line from Changing Channels: Okay, um, I need a...penknife, some dental floss, a sewing needle, and a fifth of whiskey! Stat! along with a wish for some John.
Summary: When Winchesters get hurt, you deal...

--------------------
Field Medicine

"Now, Sam, take the needle..."

"Dad...I don't..."

"Don’t argue, Sam! Your brother's bleeding and you need to know what to do. Put the needle in at right angles like I did on the first cut...That's it...Now push it through..."

"OW! Fu...that hurt!"

"I'm sorry, Dean! Dad, I can't..."

"Yes you can, Sam. Dean, stop being a baby. Sam has to learn how to do this because someday he'll have to do it in an emergency and it's better to practice now on something minor."

"Oh, a six-inch werewolf gash is--shit--just a little scratch!"

"I'm sorry, Dean!"

"You shouldn't have let him get that close to you in the first place, Dean...If you hadn't gotten cocky we wouldn't be doing this. You're doing fine, Sam. Now you need to tie a knot every couple stitches."

"Why...ow...couldn't he practice on you?"

"Hold still. Now, Sam, don't pull the stitches too tight, you don't want it to pucker...That's good, those are nice, even stitches...Okay, tie it off, here's the scissors."

"Am I done?"

"I want you to do the last one too, Sam. Start by rinsing it out...First holy water...not really necessary for a werewolf scratch, but it never hurts to be safe. Then an antiseptic--hydrogen peroxide is best, but alcohol will do in a pinch."

"Oh crap...motherfu..."

"Language, Dean!"

"That's a fu...fudging waste of whiskey...At least let me have a shot to kill the pain while Sam is butchering me!"

"Your brother's got a good hand, shouldn't be much of a scar. And no, you don't get a drink. You can have some Tylenol when Sam's done."

"Ow! Jesus, Sammy!"

"I'm sorry!"

"That looks good. Now wrap it with gauze--not too tightly, but you want to keep it clean. When you've finished that, repack the med kit and make a note if there's anything that's getting low so I know what needs to be restocked. Dean, here. Tylenol. You need a shower. Sam, if his bandage gets too wet, put a fresh one on. I'm going out to get some food."

"Okay, Dad."

"You did okay for your first effort. I'll be back in about an hour."

"I'm really sorry that I hurt you, Dean. I didn't mean to..."

"'S'okay, Sammy, I know you were trying...heck, you were a lot gentler than Dad usually is and he never says he's sorry, so don't worry about it. And your stitches are a lot better than the first time I had to sew up Dad. Not bad, little brother."

“Does it still hurt? I can…I can get you some of Dad’s whiskey if you still want some…”

“Nah, I’m fine.”

“So…how did you know it was a werewolf? I mean, I know Dad said, but did you see it turn?”

“Didn’t need to.”

“No?”

“’Cause I saw him chase a car and bite a mailman.”

“Jerk!”

“Ow, injured man here!”

“Next time a teenage werewolf bites your ass, see if I’m stitching you up!”

“It’s a sweet ass to bite.”

“You’re impossible!...Dean? Next time though…you’ll be…”

“Michael J. Werewolf comes at me, I’ll be ready for him, Sammy. Although now you know how to sew me up, I’ll be fine till I’m howling at the moon.”

“Did I say ‘jerk’ yet?”

“OW! Bitch.”

Head-canon accepted! Great teenchester voices! And John sounded spot on too. :D

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You are someone whose stories always feel very real to me, so your words are especially appreciated!

[freya922.livejournal.com]

Love it - they had to learn it sometime, didn't they?

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

At least Sam didn't have to learn in a crisis, like I'm pretty sure Dean did!

[kazluvsbooks.livejournal.com]

This was great!!!

Love Sam apologising every 5 seconds and Dean being funny, probs to make Sam feel better, when Dean is the one hurting. aww.

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

Yep, Dean wouldn't want Sam to feel bad.

Thanks for reading!

[sandymg.livejournal.com]

Reads just as good the fourth time around :) Found the all dialog format a fun challenge!

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the ending! Hug!

[mdlaw.livejournal.com]

Fun, painful, and probably just the way it happened. m :)

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

They had to learn their patching-each-other-up skills somehow...

Thanks for reading!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I love how you managed to convey so much with just dialogue - the tone for each voice was perfect! And of course, you hit all the right spots with caring Sammy, gruff John and injured cocky Dean!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

This! I'd like to add all these observations to my comment:)

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's been so long, nice to know I can still get them right!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

THIS IS FUDGING AWESOME! You are so sweet for including John <3 I love that the boys are being such brothers:) *ruffles their hair*

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

It was your whole lament that there's no John after season 2 that set me in this direction--glad you enjoyed and thanks for helping me get my writer's energy going again!

[irismay42.livejournal.com]

Love how you've written John here - tough love, with the emphasis on love.

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

I've never doubted John's devotion to his sons and to keeping them safe. But the man had no concept of how to express it beyond 'tough love.'

And that screwed them up, especially Dean, so bad that it's unbearable to watch sometimes...

[rince1wind.livejournal.com]

I fell off the wagon for a couple of moments due to dizzojays's Deans and your story. :-D to them both!
Back to my own work now.

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

Thanks for reading! Glad you enjoyed!

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! You really captured all 3 Winchester voices, and I loved the dialogue format, and all the tough love.

Thank you for sharing :)

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

Thanks for reading!

[askellington.livejournal.com]

What a fantastic look at pre-series Winchesters. Wonderful voices, too! Thanks for sharing this!

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Very glad you enjoyed!

[crimsonepitaph.livejournal.com]

Lovely! Very authentic characters.

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Aww, this just made me smile, even though Dean was in pain and getting stitched up. Sam had to learn at some point, and odds are that John absolutely had Sam learn/practice on Dean and not himself, lol. I appreciated the details of John controlling situation but letting Dean have a little leeway in his reactions before drawing the line, and Sammy constantly apologizing. And we all know Dean would be a terrible patient to have to deal with -- we saw that with Jo dealing with his bullet wound back in S2.

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

I started with the conviction that Sam would be so upset at hurting Dean and it went from there...thanks for reading and letting me know what you liked!
