Lesson 28.
AT THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE
I. NOTE
Even in medical clinics, you will sometimes have to wait for some time before
you see the doctor. the advantage of a medical clinic over a regular doctor's office is
that you do not need to have an appointment. Patients are seen on a first-come, first-
served basis.
Doctors are not supposed to dispense drugs, other than free samples, When
your doctor gives you a prescription for medicine, you will have to go to a pharmacy
or drugstore to have it filled. Sometimes the pharmacist will call your doctor to
confirm the dosage or the nature of the prescription.
II. DIALOGUE
Doctor: How are you today?
You: Not so good. I think I have the flu or something.
Doctor: What are your symptoms?
You: I have a fever, chills, and a sore throat.
Doctor: Let’s take a look. Open wide.
You: Ahhhh!
Doctor: Your throat is pretty red. How long have you had the fever?
You: Since last night. It comes and goes. What’s wrong with me?
Doctor: You have some sort of bacterial infection. I’m going to write you a
prescription. Take it to any drugstore, and they’ll give you some pills that
you’ll need to take for five days. You should be completely well by then.
You: Thanks. I sure wish I felt better. I guess I’ll go home and rest.
