How are you feeling?

I hope you would have fun reading this joke which is entitled " It hurts! " .

A man goes to the doctor and says, "Doctor, wherever I touch, it hurts."
The doctor asks, "What do you mean?"
The man says, "When I touch my shoulder, it really hurts. When I touch my knee - OUCH! When I touch my forehead, it really, really hurts."
The doctor says, "I know what's wrong with you. You've broken your finger!"

At the doctor`s

-  Next, please. Come in… Take a seat.

-  Hello, doctor. Last time I came to see you a year ago. You gave me a complete medical check-up then.

-   OK. And what is the matter with you at the moment? Any complaints /kəmˈpleɪnt/?

-   I don’t feel very well. I’ve had an awful headache for 2 days already. Besides I’ve got a sore throat.

-   Have you got a high temperature?

-   I took my temperature this morning. It was 37.9.

-   That’s not so much, I must say.

-   So much the better, doctor. If it were over 38 degrees I’d be in bed now.

-   Are you coughing much?

-   A little bit. I don’t have any fits of coughing but I feel pain when I talk and swallow  /ˈswɒl.əʊ/.

-   I see. I have to examine  /ɪɡˈzæm.ɪn/ your throat and sound your lungs now… Please, strip to the waist. Now take a deep breath /breθ/. OK. You can breathe  /briːð/out. And now I want you to cough. Good… Well, don’t worry, it’s just a throat infection. There’s nothing wrong with your lungs. I’ll prescribe some pills which you should take twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, after your meals. You should also take cough syrup  /ˈsɪr.əp/, 3 teaspoonfuls /ˈtiː.spuːn.fʊl/ a day will be enough. And it goes without saying that you must not drink any cold liquids.

-   All right. Is that all doctor?

-  Oh, yes, I shall not prescribe any antibiotics  /ˌæn.ti.baɪˈɒt.ɪk/ for you, as you haven’t got bronchitis  /brɒŋˈkaɪ.tɪs/fortunately. If you follow my directions, you’ll avoid any complications and feel much better in a couple of days. However if the symptoms do not disappear by Thursday you should come and consult me again. So, get well. Here is your prescription. By the way, shall I write out a sick-list?

-    No, it’s all right. I’m on vacation now. Thank you, doctor. Bye-bye.
