(D = Doctor / P = Patient)
| D: | Good morning. |
| P: | Good morning, doctor. |
| D: | Now, what can I do for you? |
| P: | Well, I don’t feel very well. I feel tired, and my legs and back ache. I’ve also got a bit of a temperature. |
| D: | How long have you felt like this? |
| P: | For about a week now. |
| D: | Right. Have you been taking any medicine? |
| P: | No, I thought I'd come and see you first. Do you think I might have the flu? |
| D: | Maybe. Let me ask you a few questions about your lifestyle. What do you do? |
| P: | I’m a shop assistant. I work in a sports shop. |
| D: | And do you enjoy your work? |
| P: | It’s OK. Actually, I’ve been working a lot of extra hours recently. You know, doing overtime. |
| D: | Do you do regular exercise? |
| P: | I try to go swimming once a week. But it’s been difficult recently. |
| D: | OK. Well, you might have the flu, but I think perhaps you’ve been working a bit hard. |
| P: | What do you think I should do? |
| D: | Try to find some time to relax. Go to bed early a few nights this week. I’ll give you a prescription for something that will help you sleep. |
| P: | Thanks. |
| D: | And if the symptoms persist, come back and see me in a week. OK? |
| P: | Right, thanks very much. |
| D: | Not at all. See you. |
| P: | Bye. |
