TRANSCRIPT
Section 1.
You will hear a man talking first to a receptionist and then to a doctor at a health centre.
Receptionist: Good morning, how can I help you?
Peter: Uh, yes. I’m a visitor to this area. I had a sporting accident a little while ago, and I’m still in some pain, and I wondered if I could see a doctor here.
Receptionist: Certainly, sir, we can take you on as a temporary
patient. I’ll just take down some personal details. Can I start with your name?
Peter: Yes, it’s Peter. Peter Smith.
Receptionist: Right, Peter. And where are you staying here?
Peter: At 95 Cross Street.
Receptionist: And this a bit?
Peter: Walkley. That’s W-A-L-K-L-E-Y.
Receptionist: Mm-hmm. And can I have a contact phone number?
Peter: Uh, it’s 46895324.
Receptionist: Thanks. Okay. If you just wait down there, the doctor will see you in a minute.
Doctor: Now, what can I do for you? It’s Peter Smith, isn’t it?
Peter: Yes, I had a sporting accident and was treated by a doctor at home, but I’m still in pain.
Doctor: Right, I just need to ask you a few questions first of all.
Peter: Fine.
Doctor: Now, what sport were you doing?
Peter: I was playing tennis.
Doctor: I see. And what was the nature of your injury? Did you hurt your elbow or wrist?
Peter: Uh, no. I had a sprained knee. That was the original problem.
Doctor: Right, and when did this happen?
Peter: Uh, it was three weeks ago now, so that was June 18th.
Doctor: Fine. And you say you had medical treatment?
Peter: Yes, the doctor said I didn’t need an x-ray or anything, and he just told me to use an ice pack.
Doctor: An ice pack. Fine.
Peter: Yes, and I’ve been using a walking stick to help me get around.
Doctor: Right, now what problems are you experiencing at the moment? Are you having any problems walking?
Peter: Well, I can walk okay, but I still can’t go upstairs, so I’ve been sleeping downstairs.
Doctor: Now, you say your knee still hurts?
Peter: Well, no. Actually, it’s recovering nicely. It’s my back that’s hurting me now. It really aches at night, and I can hardly sleep.
Doctor: Well, there’s a few different things I can suggest for that.
Peter: Great.
Doctor: First, you should put your stick away, as that’s probably the source of the problem. It’ll be making you unbalanced.
Peter: Oh, really? I wish I’d known.
Doctor: After that I can prescribe you something to relax the muscles in your back.
Peter: Oh, sorry to be difficult, but I’ve had something like that in the past, and there were lots of side effects, and I had to stop taking it. Can you recommend anything else?
Doctor: Well, yes, we do have a leaflet showing some exercises you can do to help yourself at home. If you do them every day, they’ll soon be effective.
Peter: Great. I’ll do that.
