What does the poem, “The doctor pats Jordan an’ me on the back and says,” reveal about Josh and his character? Do you think this is how he really feels?

Josh's anger and stubbornness is like his dad's. Josh still prioritizes basketball over health but does feel for his dad. The doctor says that they should talk to dad to bring him out of his coma. Josh likes this idea because for once, dad is forced to listen to him.
