Gambling With Time

When Jenny Richards came to my office for the first time she was crying, but she refused to tell Nancy, my receptionist, what the problem was. Nancy asked me if I could fit Jenny in between my other scheduled patients. When I spoke with Jenny in the waiting room, she told me that she'd suddenly felt weak and dizzy while passing the sign for my office. I am an internist, and I agreed to see her immediately.
