Maxie understands that patients worry about their health. She sat down with Jimmy and explained how appointments are made. She acknowledged that Jimmys problem was important. She gave Jimmy advice about what he could do now and made an appointment for him to see the doctor in two days. Jimmy accepted her explanation.
