It may not make sense as described, but the patient/perpetrator now had both hands and wrists in plaster, and, as a single person, required assistance for many tasks, including having to urinate.
His (would have been) victim escaped with a mild hangover.

A long time ago, in a hospital far, far away. A drunk male brought in with both 5th metacarpals broken.
It appeared that the patient had fought with another drunk, but the other had collapsed at the time of the punch,causing the patient's fist to strike the wall. Enraged, he pulled the other upright to punch with the other fist, but the other slumped sideways at the time.
