She almost didn't do this. There's a part of her that nearly bended to the stubborn need to avoid help, but Cal and Sookie would never let that rest. She's been by the clinic multiple times, now, and has been waiting and watching as she observes the doctors and their way of practicing. She's almost surprised that her decision leans towards a nurse, in the end.

She thinks she can do this. There's no actual medical diagnosing necessary, not anymore. She needs someone who can maintain treatment of the symptoms seeing as there's no cure for the disease. That's all she needs and a nurse can definitely manage.

She waits until he's alone in the clinic and the other doctors are preoccupied with their work. "Rory Williams?" she asks, as if she hasn't spent a week finding out everyone's names, histories, and significant others. "Do you have a minute to talk?"

Rory's used to clinic shifts where practically nothing happens at all. Sometimes people do come in. After all, there's always something small that needs doing. Check on a scrape, make sure this weird thing isn't a bad thing, just a check-up. That's what he expects when he looks up to see the woman in the doorway. Of course, usually when people come in for a plaster, they don't call him by full name. Could just be a cultural habit.

"More than a minute if you'd like, Miss-- Sorry, I don't know your name," he admits with a slight frown. It's buzzing around in the back of his head somewhere; he'll know it when he hears it. He's seen her in passing enough times, but he's never had a reason to latch onto her name.
