Learning English going to the Doctor (General Practitioner : GP)

Here is a lesson for learning English by having a conversation with a general practitioner about health problems:

The patient, named Monica, walks into the doctor’s office and greets the receptionist.

Receptionist: Good morning, Monica. How can I help you today?

Monica: Good morning. I have an appointment with the doctor.

Receptionist: Of course. The doctor will be with you shortly. Please take a seat.

Monica sits down and waits for her turn. A few minutes later, the doctor greets her and they both walk into the examination room.

Doctor: Hello, Monica. How are you feeling today?

Monica: Not too good, actually. I’ve been having some health problems lately.

Doctor: I’m sorry to hear that. What seems to be the problem?

Monica: Well, I’ve been experiencing some pain in my lower back. It started a few days ago and it’s been getting worse.

Doctor: I see. Have you tried any pain relievers or over-the-counter medications?

Monica: Yes, I have. But they don’t seem to be helping much.

Doctor: Alright. Let’s take a look. Can you lie down on the examination table? (Monica lies down) Can you point to where the pain is?

Monica: It’s here. (Monica points to her lower back)

Doctor: Okay. I’m going to examine you now. Just relax and let me know if anything hurts. (The doctor performs a physical examination and takes some notes)

Doctor: It looks like you have a strain in your lower back muscles. It’s quite common, especially if you’ve been sitting for long periods of time or engaging in heavy lifting.

Monica: Oh, that makes sense. I have been working long hours at the office and I did lift some heavy boxes a few days ago.

Doctor: Yes, that could be the cause. I’m going to prescribe you some pain medication and physical therapy. I also want you to take it easy for the next few days and avoid any heavy lifting.

Monica: Okay, doctor. Thank you for your help.

Doctor: You’re welcome. If the pain doesn’t improve, or if it gets worse, don’t hesitate to come back and see me.

Monica: I will. Thank you again.

Doctor: You’re welcome. Take care of yourself.
