Dialogue. Medicines and Health
Medicines are not meant to live on,” an English proverb says. That is true and we may add that good health is better than the best medicine. And if your health is god you are always in good mood.
George feels ill today. He has got a headache and a sore throat. His parents John and Mary Brown have got no medicines at home and they are very nervous.
John: What’s the matter with George? He looks ill.
Mary: He feels ill. I’ll call a doctor.
J.: Yes, let’s phone him right now.
Their family doctor Mr Middleton comes in an hour.
Doctor: Good morning. What’s wrong with George? What are his complaints?
J.: He slept badly. He has a terrible headache and a sharp pain in his throat. We are afraid he is starting a cold or flu.
D.: Any cough?
M.: No, not yet.
D.: Letne examine the boy… Open your mouth, George. Show me your tongue. Say, “Ah.”
M.: What’s the matter with him, doctor?
D.: Just a moment… He has a bad cold, Mrs Brown, so he must stay in bed for a week.
J.: That’s good news for George.
D.: Good news? Why?
M.: Because he doesn’t like school.
D.: I see. Don’t give the boy rich food. He can drink warm milk and tea, and I suggest that you give him something for his headache and sore throat.
J.: Will you write out a prescription?
D.: Here it is. Let him take the medicine three times a day. You can buy it at the nearest chemist’s.
M.: Is that all?
D.: He is running a temperature. See that he doesn’t go out at least for a week. I’ll call on you in the evening. In case he feels worse, I’ll make an injection.
J.: Why can’t you make it right now?
D.: Let him take some medicine first.
George: Is the injection very painful?
D.: Not at al. You won’t feel anything. If you follow my advice, you’ll recover quite soon.
