I mean; why should you get to see a heart specialist on Family Day just because you almost died, right?

Don't get me started on "Family Day"

You get to see a capable generalist rather quickly, in such cases. Specialists are heavily booked, so it might take a day or two. If you're misdiagnosed, as in the case of Trip's father, then your generalist becomes a roadblock rather than an advocate.

In my case my injury was relatively minor, and easily diagnosed, so I knew that I would be seeing one of the best guys in the country in short order.
