Doctor: Good evening. What’s the trouble?

Patient: I can’t sleep very well. I have rather a bad cough and a pain in my chest sometimes when I breathe.

Doctor: I see. Very well. You must have a thorough examination. Let me see your tongue…. Yes, your stomach is a little out of order…. Now your pulse…. Yes, that’s all right. Now I shall listen to your heart and chest…. Do you smoke a lot?

Patient: Well rather a lot, I am afraid.

Doctor: You ought to cut down for a time. Let me see your throat! Open your mouth. Say “Ah!”

Patient: “Ah”

Doctor: All right, that will do. There is nothing serious the matter with you, but you are rather run down. You work too hard. You need a real rest. I shall give you a bottle of medicine that will help. Take a table-spoonful in water three times a day after meals. Eat plenty of good plain food, have no cigarettes and drink plenty of milk, and not too much coffee; get plenty of fresh air and plenty of sleep, but above all do not try to do too much. A real change of air and surroundings would be very helpful (зміна обстановки буде дуже корисною).
