Beatrice (not her real name) is here to see me after her fall, but our visit doesn’t end there. I watch the security footage of the fall on her phone, check her head to toe, and plan a pain regimen that won’t worsen her gastritis. And then I tackle her renewed anxiety, adjust her thyroid medication, offer an overdue vaccine, and plan for our nurse to check in later that week.
