Lesson 9
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.
