bathroom break, and recalling what medicines he is on. Dr. de Framboise's assistant, Alice, is completely sure the patient has memory problems. As an conscientious and methodologically rigorous clinician, Dr. Framboise is slow to agree. She wants to know if he has these problems in other settings like his home, his work, his church, etc. Why does she care? a.
