Doctor: Good evening, please take a SEAT. Tell me what’s your name?

Doc: Well James, how do you feel? What’s the matter with you?

James: Well doc you see, I was with a friend playing Counter-Strike…

Doc: And a terrorist shot you? That’s terrible. Well, we don’t have anything else to do, We must operate.

James: Doc, no really, I was playing and I think that my wrist has broken, because the pain is killing me.

Doc: It’s ok, move your wrist.

James: AUCH!

Doc: Don’t be a cry baby, you have a little sprain on your wrist.

James: Does it have cure?

Doc: Yes! Buy this muscle cream and put it in the affected area during 3 days at night. And remember don’t move the wrist too much.

James: Thank you doctor.

Dialogue 2.

Dr Jones: Hello, Peter. What seems to be the problem?

Peter: Well, I haven't been feeling very well for the last few days.

Peter: And my throat is sore and it hurts when I swallow.

Dr Jones: Have you noticed a loss of appetite?

Peter: Not really. But it's difficult to swallow.

Dr Jones: Let me have a look... mmm...yes your throat is quite inflamed. We’d better take your temperature.

Peter: Actually, I do feel a bit warm.

Dr Jones: Just as I thought... 38.5°C I'd say you've got tonsillitis. Are you taking any medicine at the moment?

Peter: No, not really

Dr Jones: There's nothing to worry about, really. I'm going to give you a prescription. Make sure you drink lots of hot fluids and soup, nothing cold

Peter: OK, thanks a lot.
