I tend to think the norm for medical care is to not do any diligence before seeing a patient.

Friday night a neighbour came by to tell us she's not home for a couple of day/week since her mother is dying. Her 17 year old son will be home alone for that time (his father lives nearby). She already warned us that on Saturday night he was going to have some friends over, so we might hear some noise. She also told he he initially wanted to have his friends over for multiple days, but she nixed that.

Last night I didn't hear anything. Until some time during the night. When it was raining fairly hard. Someone set off fireworks outside. I didn't get up to look, so I'm not 100% sure it's the son, but I think it's there's a fairly high chance it was him and his friends. Luckily it didn't last long and I went back to sleep quickly.

For reference, in the Netherlands you're only allowed to set off fireworks From 6pm on December 31 until 2am on January 1. And consumer fireworks is only allowed to be sold on 28, 29 and 30 December.
