A: hello! How are you.
B: not too well! I’m just to the doctor. I haven’t been feeling too we.. over the last few days.
A; what have you got? A cough? A cold?
B; that’s the funny thing. I don’t what’s wrong with me. I just feel exhausted¹.
A; perhaps you’ve been working too hard. You do have a high-pressure job.
B: maybe. I haven’t been able to keep my food down either. That’s unusual.
A; well. I’m sure the doctor will be able to prescribe something to make you well again. Dr. Jameson is very good.
B; yes, he is. I’ve make an appointment for 10 o’clock, so I’d better move along.
A; OK. Hope you feel better soon. You should take it easy. I’m sure the doctor will prescribe rest, you know.

A: good morning. What seems to be the problem?
B: good morning, doctor. I feel terrible. I’ve god a cold and I have a rash here on my neck. I’m not sleeping well either. What do you think the problem could be?
A: I’d say you’ve been working too hard or are under stress for some reason. Have you been taking anything for your cold?
B; yes, I bought some medicine at the chemist’s. I’ve been taking it for three days.
A: good. I’m going to prescribe something stronger. It will make you feel drowsy³, so you certainly should rest.
B; OK. I can afford to take a fell days off work.
A: have you been working hard recently?
B: yes, I have. I had to get a project finished. It’s done now, so I can relax a little.
A; good. Let’s take a look at that rash….it looks worse than it is. I’m going to prescribe some ointment² for it. If the rash doesn’t clear up in a few days, come back and see me. Do you have any other symptoms?
B: I have a bad headache, but…
A: don’t worry about that. It’s probably of the stress you’ve been under. Just take some aspirin⁴. Combined with the stronger cough medicine, it will make you feel very tired. You shouldn’t work or use any equipment which requires concentration. If I were you, I’d just sleep, read a book, or watch TV. Here is your prescription⁵.
B; thanks doctor. I’ll get these immediately. Goodbye.
