Tried that.

I've already 'fixed' the doctor in question on that.  In fact, the doctor in
question has called Bob and told him to NOT come to see him.  I'll examine
him when he gets here and determine if he needs to see a doctor.  Which
ain't likely...  Everybody has problems like this from time to time.  I
don't expect that it's serious.  A careful examination of him will reveal
anything amiss.

Yep.  He feels a little better already, actually...
