Over the years, I have seen how people expect doctors to remain reasonable no matter how unreasonable they themselves are.

For example, a mother with a febrile child has just got him off to sleep. 

She rings you on a Sunday night at 8pm to book a telehealth appointment for when her child wakes up.

She estimates he will awaken between 2 and 4am, and explains that she needs the appointment then because she won’t know what to do at that point.
