Sam is hunting with John and Dean when he gets scratched. It's nothing serious and Sam doesn't even bother telling his brother and father that it even happened, he just ignores it and drives on, but he picks up a nasty case of MRSA from his scratch and he doesn't realize how sick he is until Dean notices how feverish he is.
A couple of hours later, they had their diagnosis. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, cutely nicknamed MRSA, and not, as Sam had earlier insisted, just a cut. This was an infection that could weaken him for a significant period of time, turn into some other necrotizing something-or-other that could eat away his skin, or enter his bloodstream and kill him at sixteen. The urgent care physician had an ambulance come get them and take Sam to the local hospital

Loved the description of how Sam reacted to the cut and how Dean reacted--so very in character for both of them--and glad Dean made a big ass deal about it. And stole meds for him. That's a good big brother. *pets Dean*
