Conversation 2:
Doctor: You definitely need an x-ray.
Mr. Louis: This morning
Doctor: Did you do anything to reduce the swelling?
Mr. Louis: I used an ice pack. The swelling is better but I still feel the pain.
Doctor: When did this happen?
Mr. Louis: I’m in a lot of pain. My ankle is swollen and hurts a lot.
Doctor: Why? What happened?
Mr. Louis: I was sweeping the floor when I slipped and fell.
Doctor: Good morning, Mr. Louis. What seems to be the problem?
After getting the x-ray
Mr. Louis: Good thing it’s not broken.
Doctor: Yes, of course. I think you’ll need one especially at night.
Mr. Louis: How long should I have it?
Doctor: You’re welcome.
Mr. Louis: Can you give me a prescription for a strong pain killer?
Doctor: Keep it for three weeks and don’t step on it. You should feel better by then.
Mr. Louis: Thank you, doctor so much.
Doctor: I’ll apply a compression wrap to your ankle.
Mr. Louis: What’s in the x-ray.
Doctor: It seems that you sprained your ankle when you fell.
