<quote>I once spent a day snowboarding and forgot to wear sunscreen. I got an absolutely blistering sunburn. A coworker picked up a chart and said, "oh, Kevin, you should see this one." The chief complaint was sunburn. I went in and said, "Hi, I'm Dr. Merrell. How can I help you?" to a patient who wasn't burned nearly as badly as I was. Without even making eye contact the sniveling, crying patient began telling me about their horrible, painful sunburn. In mid sentence they happened to look up at me, said, "Oh!" and stopped crying.</quote>
