Magic, People react to a medical crisis differently. You, responded to all who inquired...he didn't, so you shouldn't expect him to be like you. Some people don't think about it until later and evidently he's one of those that doesn't like to give minute by minute updates. Whatever the reason, it's water under the bridge now and life must go on.
Game playing? I don't see it and this shouldn't have entered your mind at all. This was a real emergency and you have to take people's reactions in situations such as this w/a grain of salt.
Let's hope that your friend will be okay and recover nicely in short order. I do hope that you'll either call or visit w/her in the coming days.
Now, I'm going to sit quietly because I have nothing left to say about the situation. It's now water under the bridge and doesn't require any more "beating the horse to death" conversations about it.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
