B: I don't think so. My brother has been operated on for appendicitis and he knows all the symptoms of this disease With me it's something quite different.

A: You'll have to consult a specialist.

Dialogue 2 Between Two Boys on Injuries

B: (Seeing his friend come out of the doctor's office.) Hello, Mike, what happen to you? Why is your arm in a sling.

M: I had a bad fall from a bicycle and broke my arm.

B: Mow awful! Have you any pain now?

M: It still hurts, but not so much as before. The fractured (broken) bone has been set and now my arm is in plaster of Paris.

B: So you can't use your arm now, can you?

M: I shan't be able to use it until the plaster is taken off. And now what are you doing here?

B: You see, I sprained my ankle today when jumping on a gym-horse.

M: Weil, it's nothing much to come to the doctor with. Apply a cold compress to it overnight and you'll get the swelling down. I'm sure. I had that sort of thing a year ago. I was limping for a few days, that's all.

Notes:

In a sling — на перевязи;

plaster of Paris — гипс;

to sprain the ankle — вывихнуть ногу в голеностопном суставе.

Dialogue 3 At the Dentist's

D: What's troubling you?

A: One of my front tooth is working loose, and there's a big one (a wisdom tooth) at the back that wants seeing to.

D: Yon have to have this one out. It is a pity you didn't have it looked at (seen to) before.

A: I wish to goodness I had.

D: Does that other tooth pain (hurt) you now?

A: Not particularly, just a dull steady pain.

D: The tooth is decaying and must be stopped, (filled)... (The doctor reaches for the drill, then cleans and drills the tooth with it, inserts a piece of cotton­wool in the cavity (hole) and proceeds to тaке a filling.) This will be a temporary filling, I'll make a permanent one next time. Now we'll attend to the front tooth. Shall I apply an anaesthetic to deaden the pain?

A: Yes, if you please.

D: Here is your tooth extracted (pulled out). Now rinse your mouth, please.

A: (Rising from the chair and looking into the mirror.) The empty space doesn’t improve my looks any. How about having a false tooth in?

D: You’ll have to have a small bridge made and two crowns on which to suspend a false tooth. I may direct you to a dental mechanic and he will do this for you.

Notes:

The tooth is working loose. – Зуб шатается.

You must have your tooth (pulled) out - вам нужно удалить зуб

I wish to goodness – exclamation expressing a strong wish

Anaesthetic - обезболивающее средство
