Hi.
The physiotherapist, a nurse, and Robert stand by James. The physiotherapist and the nurse explain the next steps in James' recovery to Robert.
(The location (a hospital room) and that James is lying in a hospital bed is known to the reader.)
Is the above correct?
Is there a way I can cut it down into one sentence?
Could I write:
Standing by James, the physiotherapist and a nurse explain the next steps in James' recovery to Robert.
?
Standing by by James' bedside, the physiotherapist and the nurse explain the next steps in James' recovery to Robert.
