Just one more thing: The last frame is typical for holidays - the adult children, who have not seen Mom and Pop since LAST Christmas, notice that they are older/slower/breathing hard/forgetting things/suffer from incontinence - so they try to get an appointment for them during the holidays to "fix everything". If all else fails, they take them to the ER.
Typical doctor, thinking those who are held hostage by the medical system are either whining or seeking drugs, when all they need is for you to listen to them and provide them with care.
This one never gets old! I'm not in primary care, but it's a great summary of the patients I see each week.
