Having worked for a number of years in ERs at holiday time and been a medical administrator for a time, people are too busy to realize and/or acknowledge that they are ill. Go to almost any hospital ER on Christmas day and you will see lots of empty chairs. Ditto New Years Eve with New Years Day packed with folks who sobered up enough to realize what they did to themselves.
