There are two interesting points here:
One is, if she had just made an appt to come in and talk (anonymously, of course), I would have heard her out and we could have come up with a plan for her kids and bandaids. I am always open to hearing out patients in a professional, mature conversation.
Two, one of her children has Alport's disease. Her last doctor (pediatrician) managed it, even though there was a pediatric nephrologist an hour away. It has been years since she followed up with them.
