Doctor and Mr. Salvatore

　

Doctor: Good Morning Mr. Salvatore, how are you today?"

Mr. Salvatore: Well, not so bad, I suppose.

Doctor: Have you been making progress with your low-cholesterol diet?

Mr. Salvatore: Yes, well, it's not so bad, I suppose.

Doctor: And, you are still continuing with trying to reduce your smoking

Mr. Salvatore: Yes, at least I am smoking less than I used to, but I have something I want to consult with you about.

Doctor: Yes, what is it?

Mr. Salvatore: I am beginning to feel a prickling pain in my chest when I wake up in the morning.

Doctor: How long does it last?

Mr. Salvatore: Well, it usually lasts for about ten minutes. It is not a very heavy pain.

Doctor: I see. Well, I would only advise you to continue to reduce your cholesterol, eat a balanced diet and exercise. Of course, it would be ideal for you to give up smoking.

Mr. Salvatore: Yes, I know.

Student: Yes.

Doctor: When did your symptoms appear?

Student: Four days ago.

Doctor: Do you have an appetite?

Student: Yes, but I feel extremely languid and tired.

Doctor: I see, let me examine your lungs. ・・・ It seems as if you have caught a bad cold. I will prescribe medicine to alleviate your coughing and some antibiotic. Please take the medicine 3 times a day for four days. If the condition persists return to see me.

Doctor: How can I help you?

Patient: Well, I had an accident on my bicycle yesterday. It was nothing serious and I only got a few scratches, but today I woke up with a pain in my neck and back

Doctor: I see. Are any parts of your body numb?

Patient: No.

Doctor: Can you move your neck and back freely?

Patient: Yes.

Doctor: Well it is probably nothing serious. Please take these muscle relaxants and refrain from exercise. Remember to get plenty of rest.

Patient: Thank you.
