George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He had allergies and other medical issues which made him barely fit for duty.
George tried to see his doctor about these problems, but being a pirate, he was always on the move, and it was hard to see his own doctor, let alone find a local doctor in his health network.
The rare times he’d get to see a doctor, his medical records would be delayed, and he’d have to start all over again.
And don’t get George started about picking up his prescriptions or getting them refilled.
