Matt was contacting who he thought was the doctor, asking for some guidance on the next steps in a medical procedure.

Hannah replied to tell him he had a wrong number, but figuring she had nothing to lose, offered up her own opinion:

Make sure to follow up any self-diagnosis with a doctor. Just to be on the safe side!
