– First scene: An older lady goes to the doctor and she has an argument with this doctor because she refuses to schedule a surgery for her broken hip as he thinks that she is too old. She is frustrated because she still wants to do many things despite her age. Being unable to walk properly causes her frustration and desperation.

What have you seen? What happens in this scene?
Is there anything to be done in order to change the situation?
What would you do or say to change it?
