Quick question: is there a minimum amount of time that someone needs to spend in a hospital after a kidnapping? I have some characters that will be rescued by their families after several weeks of being held captive in a basement, they're found unconscious because of a gas but most of them won't be injured. But how long do they have to stay in a hospital until they're free to go if they aren't physically hurt?
Also, if you know roughly how long they'd have to stay because of these injuries, feel free to share your knowledge:
One of them became very underweight when she was missing. She'd already been anorexic before, and she was pretty skinny before she was kidnapped. She lost a lot of weight because the kidnapper wanted her to become anorexic again, knowing that she'd already been before.
One of them fell and knocked her head on something when she fell unconscious because of the gas and some blood dropped from her head, but I don't want it to be a very bad injury.
One of them has a broken leg that has been untreated for about as long as she's been missing (maybe a month or a month and a half)
One of them is about 8 months pregnant with the baby of the kidnapper. She doesn't want to keep the baby, for obvious reasons. What are her choices?
Aside from that, the others are doing alright physically. Probably not psychologically, but that's another issue. So, how long does it take for doctors to run some tests on my characters before releasing them from the hospital if nothing's wrong besides maybe not having eaten a lot of food while they were gone?
