At the Doctor`s Office

I’ve got a problem with my eye. It’s been itchy

and swollen since last night.
D: I see. Is it painful?
P: Yes. It’s very sore, it hurts when I blink.
D: Let me have a look at it. Your eyelid is indeed swollen. Have you put any drops in it?

but they didn’t do anything
D:  This looks like an eye

infection. I think you need antibiotics. Are you allergic to them?
P: No, I’m not
D: OK. I’m going to prescribe some eye drops as well. If it doesn’t get better, come back and see me again.  
P: OK. Thanks, doctor. 

don’t feel very well.
Doctor: What’s the matter?
Patient: I’ve got an

earache and a fever.
Doctor: Sit on the table please, so I can look in your ear. Hmmm… You have an ear infection.
Patient: What do I need to do?
Doctor: You need to put drops in his ear twice a day.  Here is your prescription

Last time I came to see you a year ago.

You gave me a complete medical check-up then.
-   OK. And what is the matter with you at the moment? Any complaints?
-   I don’t feel very well. I’ve had an awful headache for 2 days already. Besides I’ve got a sore throat.
-   Have you got a high temperature?
-   I took my temperature this morning. It was 37.9.
-   Not so much. Are you coughing much?
-   A little bit. I don’t have any fits of coughing but I feel pain when I talk and swallow.

and sound your lungs now… Please, strip to the waist.

Now take a deep breath. OK. You can breathe out. And now I want you to cough. Good… Well, don’t worry, it’s just a throat infection. There’s nothing wrong with your lungs. I’ll prescribe some pills which you should take twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, after your meals. You should also take cough syrup, 3 teaspoonfuls a day will be enough. And it goes without saying that you must not drink any cold liquids.
-   All right. Is that all doctor?
-  Oh, yes, I shall not prescribe any antibiotics for you, as you haven’t got bronchitis fortunately. If you follow my directions, you’ll avoid any complications and feel much better in a couple of days. However if the symptoms do not disappear by Thursday you should come and consult me again. So, get well. Here is your prescription. By the way, shall I write out a sick-list?
-    No, it’s all right. I’m on vacation now. Thank you, doctor. Bye
