Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of observation and judgment when choosing a doctor. The dead office plants serve as a symbol of neglect, hinting that if a doctor fails to care for something as basic as their own plants, it may reflect their approach to patient care. It raises the idea that a good doctor pays attention to details and takes care of their surroundings, implying that this attention and care may extend to their practice and patients. Therefore, the quote suggests that one should be cautious and seek out a doctor who exhibits responsibility and attentiveness in all aspects of their life.
