The amount of times Tony had to be dragged straight to a hospital after a fight ended are small enough that Rhodey can probably count them on one hand, and serious enough that every time damn near gave him a heart attack. He doesn't like dwelling on them much; it's not going to do anyone any good. But he'd take most of them a hundred times over again instead of having to deal with today.
At least he usually knows what's going on. Even if what's wrong downright scares him sometimes, he knows. But with Tony unconscious and no legal weight at all behind his arguments, Rhodey hasn't been able to find out anything important. And unlike Tony, he can't just buy the hospital and demand they tell him what's going on; arguing's all he's got.
It takes hours to get anything concrete. Rhodey gave up on trying not to pace a long time ago when they finally tell him that Tony's awake and he can see him. He doesn't let them keep him any longer than that; he doesn't stop until he's standing outside the room, and takes a second to take a breath and try to wipe the worst of the worry off his face. An effort that's completely wasted when he gets through the door, but he doesn't care, too busy taking in the immediate visible damage and being relieved to see Tony up and awake.
