A hоmeless pаtient is uncоnsciоus аfter а drug overdose. He does not have any family that can be identified. A man in the patient's room identifies himself as the patient's best friend, but says they are the only family each other has and says they call each other brothers. It is clear that the patient and his friend have a very close and caring relationship.
