Doctor: Hi, what’s wrong?
Jane: I feel unwell and keep vomiting all the time.
Doctor: How long have you felt like this?
Jane: Nearly two days. It started just before going to bed the day before yesterday.
Doctor: Let me examine you. I will press on your stomach to see if it hurts and then listen to your heart.
Jane: Ok. It doesn’t hurt when you press my stomach. I just feel tired.
Doctor: Ok. Did you eat anything different from usual before you started to feel this way?
Jane: Yes my boyfriend cooked dinner for me. He isn’t a very good cook and the food tasked a bit strange.
Doctor: You’ve got food poisoning. It is not very serious and you should be better in another day.
Jane: Oh dear, what should I do.
Doctor: You need to drink lots of water and get plenty of rest.
Jane: Ok, thank you doctor.
Doctor: You’re welcome. If you are not better in 48 hours come and see me again.
Patient: Nurse, I think I might have a fever. It’s so cold in here!
Nurse: Here, let me check your forehead.
Patient: What do you think?
Nurse: You feel a bit warm. Let me get a thermometer to check.
Patient: How do I raise my bed? I can’t find the controls.
Nurse: Here you are. Is that better?
Patient: Could I have another pillow?
Nurse: Certainly, Here you are. Is there anything else I can do for you?
Patient: No, thank you.
Nurse: OK, I’ll be right back with the thermometer.
Patient: Oh, just a moment. Can you bring me another bottle of water, too?
Nurse: Certainly, I’ll be back in a moment.
Nurse: (coming in the room) I’m back. Here’s your bottle of water. Please put the thermometer under your tongue.
Patient: Thank you. (puts the thermometer under the tongue)
Nurse: Yes, you have a slight fever. I think I’ll take your blood pressure as well.
Patient: Is there anything to worry about?
Nurse: No, no. Everything’s fine. It’s normal to have a bit of fever after an operation like yours!
Patient: Yes, I’m so glad everything went well.
Nurse: You’re in good hands here! Please hold out your arm…
