 Doctor:
Good morning, Mr. Wilson. Good to
see you again. What can I do for you
today ?
Mr. Wilson: It's about my test
result. You said to make an
appointment for ten days, and you'd
have them ready to tell me about.
Have they come back ?
Doctor: Yes, I think so- in fact I'm
sure so. Let's just have a look- ah
yes... Now Mr. Wilson. I'm afraid
it's a little more complicated
than we thought. The test we did
on your urine and your
stool...seem to indicate
that....well we need to do some
more further tests.
Mr. Wilson: Some more tests? Why,
doctor ? What' s wrong ? Is it
serious ?
Doctor: Well, it might be slightly.
It's too early to say , really - we
haven't got enough to go on until
we've done some more tests. It's
nothing to be alarmed about- just
some more routine tests at the
hospital itself this time. Just to
be sure . Just routine.
Mr. Wilson: Just routine? That's
what you said before and now you say
I need more tests and deeper ones !
And at the hospital this time. I
think you'd better tell me what's
wrong now, doctor, before we go any
further. I am an adult, you know,
I'm a big boy now... you don't
need to wrap me up in cotton wool!
Doctor: Alright , Mr. Wilson I take
your point. Well, avoiding all the
medical mumbo-jumbo, it seems
that you indeed have slightly ...
abnormal levels of stomach acid.
That's what the tests indicate all
this stage. More than mere
heartburn, in fact. Perhaps going a
bit further than that.
Mr. Wilson: How much further? What's
really wrong with me ? Stop
messing me about!
