Hùng, an older factory worker from Vietnam, books a follow-up appointment with the cardiologist.
Hùng: Excuse me. Excuse me. The doctor said I should come back in two weeks?
Sharon: Yes, let's book your follow-up. Which doctor did you see?
Hùng: Doctor Chen. Heart.
Sharon: Cardiology, with Dr. Chen. He has an opening on the 15th, at 9:30 in the morning — does that work?
Hùng: The 15th, morning, okay, good.
Sharon: Great, here's your appointment slip. Arrive fifteen minutes early and bring your health insurance card.
Hùng: Fifteen minutes early, okay. What if I am sick that day?
Sharon: Just call this number to reschedule — it's on the slip.
Hùng: Thank you, Sharon.
Sharon: You're welcome, see you on the 15th.
