Okay, so my first patient has a high TSH result – yep, we’ll get them started on their thyroid medication.

The next patient has a bead in their ear – pulled that out with a little fuss but simple enough.

And my next patient has rolled their ankle – we can strap that up and see how they go.

But then, the rest of my day gets more challenging.
