Somebody shouts at my front Desk staff because they’re pissed off about their appointment time. I said, you know, I don’t usually start my appointments in laughter.

Eric: I also wonder, thinking about our own medical school training, at least mine, is that there wasn’t a lot of normalizing emotions in our med school. There’s so many elements of a patient that’s hospitalized or going through our medical system. What medications are the patient on? We’ll act it out.
