I'd like to have my annual check-up.
Fine. When would you be available to come in to see Dr. Habi?

2.Seeing the Doctor
Hello, what's the matter?
Good morning. I have a terrible ache in my lower back.
How long has your back been bothering you?
I've been having pain for about the last two weeks.
Do you have any history of back problems?
No, this is the first time.
Are you taking any medicine at the moment?
No, just an aspirin from time to time to kill the pain.
OK. Let's have a look at your back. Please take off your shirt ....

| Doctor: | — | Good morning. Please have a seat here. What´s the problem? |
|---|---|---|
| Paul: | — | I have a terrible stomachache. |
| Doctor: | — | Do you have diarrhea? |
| Paul: | — | Yes, I do. |
| Doctor: | — | Do you have any other symptoms? |
| Paul: | — | Yes, I feel sick. |
| Doctor: | — | You mean you feel nauseous? |
| Paul: | — | That´s right. I feel like vomiting. And right now I feel dizzy, too. |
| Doctor: | — | When did the symptoms start? |
| Paul: | — | This morning. Yesterday evening I ate something raw. |
| Doctor: | — | All right. Please take off your clothes to the waist and lie down there. ... Just tell me if it hurts when I do this. |
| Paul: | — | It doesn´t hurt. ... Ouch. It hurts there. |
| Doctor: | — | Okay. Let´s hope it´s just indigestion, but we´ll need to run some diagnostic tests to be sure. We´ll run a blood test and we´ll also need a urine sample. |
| Paul: | — | Can you give me something for the time being? |
| Doctor: | — | Yes, I´ll give you a prescription for indigestion tablets. |
