Doctor: What seems to be the problem?

Patient: Well, I was crossing the road, where a car came round the corner too quickly, and when the driver saw me, it was too late to stop. I was knocked to the ground, and when I got up,my left arm and elbow were grazed and now, I have a pain in my ribs.

Doctor: I'll just take a look. Where does it hurt?

Patient: It's hard to say. It hurts all over.

Doctor: Does it hurt when I do this?

Patient: Ouch! The pain is very bad when you press here.

Doctor: Your arm and elbow seem to be all right. But, to be on the safe side, you'd better go to the X-ray Department. When the X-rays are ready, bring them back to me to examine.

Patient: OK. See you later.

Doctor: See you then!

 (Ten minutes later, the patient brings back the X-ray plates)

Patient: Here's my X-rays.

Doctor: I'll just take a look at it. Everything is all right, except here, see it? There's a hairline fracture.

Patient: Is it serious?

Doctor: No. It's not very serious, but you should take two or three weeks off work, and rest in bed as much as possible.

Patient: Should I take some medicine, doctor?

Doctor: All right. I'll give you some herbal medicine to help you heal quickly. In addition, I will prescribe you some medicine for oral administration. Here is a prescription. Take it to the chemist's. Please take the medicine according to the instruction.

Patient: Will I need to be put in plaster?

Doctor: No, it isn't necessary. I have prescribed you a tube of ointment. Administer it two or three times a day.

Patient: Thank you very much, doctor.

Doctor: Not at all. Goodbye!

Patient: Goodbye!
