Chapter 44

Ted wakes up in a hospital bed, watched over by the orange-juice hair man, whose name is <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Character" href="https://www.supersummary.com/the-last-house-on-needless-street/major-character-analysis/#395345">Rob</a>. Ted asks where Dee is. Rob replies that Ted was alone when he found him. Rob is a forest ranger. He followed the trees Dee marked with toxic paint when his dog scented blood, leading him to Ted. A doctor inspects Ted’s wound. He asks Ted about the pills; they had been discontinued a decade ago for side effects, such as hallucination, weight gain, and memory loss. He offers to recommend a better medication, suggesting he might qualify for financial aid for medical care. Ted’s body is covered in burn scars and scars from sutures from childhood injuries that are not on his medical record. The doctor tells Ted somebody should have caught this and stopped the abuse he suffered. It never occurred to Ted that <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Character" href="https://www.supersummary.com/the-last-house-on-needless-street/major-character-analysis/#395333">Mrs. Bannerman</a> could have been stopped. The doctor offers to connect him with a therapist. Ted says he is tired of therapy for now. The doctor does not press the issue, and Ted is so grateful that he cries. Rob brings Ted a toothbrush and some new clothes. Ted is prescribed medication that calms Ted and others in his head.
