She shows them
Gramma: I don't need some snake oil salesman rubbin' cream on me, and givin' me funny pills!
Bill: No, Ma. That's not what doctors are like today! They're nice. You'll even get a lollipop. It's fun!
Gramma: And that's when they stick you with the leeches. No siree! There'll be no doctors today... not over my healthy body!

Gramma: I ain't groanin', I'm growlin'!
