Help!

Attention Thoughtcrimes fans! I need help with a plot.

I want to do a story in which Freya discovers that something unpleasent is happening to Brendan. I wanted to do something along the lines of Brendan in the hospital and maybe a nurse mistreating him or not taking care of him right, but neither Brendan nor anyone else is aware except for Freya. But I want to do it in a way that's plausible and not like I'm dissing the nursing profession or something.

Anyone know how I could accomplish a plot like this? Or know of another way I could pull it off? I was also thinking that Brendan is healing at home and a relative or someone who's supposed to be taking care of him isn't. The thing is, it has to be that Brendan isn't aware of it.

My brain refuses to work the problem out. I need help. Know what I could do to make such a plot work?

After my grandmother had a series of ministrokes, she had a rotating series of live-in aides. I don't think any of them were actually nurses - one of them was trying to get into the modeling business. Maybe something along those lines?

I was thinking about that. Something would need to happen to Brendan where he would need one, but nothing that was long term. That's when I started leaning toward it being a family member - like a cousin or something.

So now the question is - what could I have happen to Brendan where he would need that kind of care? *Ponders*
