Alice has always been afraid of visiting the doctor. Her family is aware of her fear and routinely plans a family gathering to encourage Alice on the safety, need, and even enjoyment in taking her annual trip to see her doctor. The goal of the family meeting is to try and ease her fears and to help her find courage as she anticipates her visit.
Her mom, dad, and brother, Bobby, have all given their best shot at motivating Alice to embrace her doctor visits; none of their attempts have worked. However, on this particular morning, as she prepared for her visit, something different was about to happen. Alice's grandmother is known for telling the best stories and the one she revealed to the family this particular morning changed Alice's perspective on doctor visits forever.
Dr. Richards had grown accustomed to Alice's reluctant visits and was pleasantly surprised to find her happy and enthusiastic about her visit on this particular day.
