There are common things that many people can recognize instantly. Long ago, when the kids were little, I came home from work one evening to see from across the room that my daughter had pink-eye (conjunctivitis). Of course doctor's office was closed so I had no choice but to take her to urgent care and pony up the $100 to get her a 'cript for the drops I already knew she needed. Of course we were struggling financially so that was painfully frustrating.
