T will say "We have to stop now." and turn her roller chair to the computer which is idling. Type in her password, pull up the EHR, tell me when she can next see me.
Then I take out my letter from my bag as she prints the time-chit I need to give my boss and HR.
I stand up and so does she. I hug her and let go. Pick up my bag and walk to the door. Turn around and say "Take care" to her.
Sometimes she follows me to the door. Sometimes she steps out into the corridor. Rarely does she walk with me down the corridor to the clinic waiting room.
