Loved that scene. Our family is like that. Loud and crazy and love each other almost too passionately.
I did something like that scene when my son was sick in the er and his eyes were rolling back in his head.
Aurora always reminded me of my Grandma. Always socially akward -

My favorite scene!!! I once did the same thing to my son! He hadn't seen the movie yet, and then on Will and Grace, Karen does that scene in the hospital when Stan is ill. When my son finally saw the movie, he just cracked up and said, "now I know what the fuss is all about!" So great!!!
Wait! Wait! Where are you going? I was gonna make Espresso! -

It was amazing, and so accurate of how the medical community can be insensitive to paid as they so see so much of it. I am an avid supporter of having your mother around when you are sick.

If you're loved one is in pain and holding out and suffering while waiting for the next dose, don't go screaming like a lunatic every four hours. Talk to the nurses, get the doctor on the phone, get the dosages changed or get more meds added.
Nobody should have to be in pain and waiting for meds. That's insane.
I worked oncology for many years and never once did we have a scene like that. If the meds weren't working, we would call the freaking doctor and say, "She needs more" or "Can I get a morphine drip?" or some damn thing.
Even people who endured the most horrific treatment (which is stem cell treatment) or had bone cancer pain were kept out of pain.
I don't know what all they had in the early 80s for pain, but I know they had freaking morphine. To this day, there is nothing better. It's cheap and it works, so there is really no reason for anyone to ever be in pain unless they're a burn patient (which is something I couldn't do. God bless the burn nurses.)
Talk to the doctors and nurses. Don't make (or allow) your loved ones to suffer because the drugs aren't good enough. One thing we have in America is good health care and a nearly endless supply of morphine.
There is just no reason for anyone to have pain. Period.
