-Dr. Jones provides care to patients at Tranquility Acres, a nursing home that serves low-income Medicaid and Medicare patients. He also owns 80% of the facility, with the rest of it distributed to his children. Dr. Jones is frustrated by the declining profits on his investments and instructs the Nursing Home Administrator, Ann Enigma, to add weekly visits to the same patients he normally rounds on once a month. He won't actually see them, but instructs her to add his visits to the medical records as if he had. Ann protests, saying they can be charged with fraud. He waves her concerns away saying, "If you're as good at this electronic record stuff as you say you are, they'll never catch on."
