B. A VISIT TEXT TO THE DOCTOR
- Well, what's the matter with you, Mr. Walker?
- You'd better ask me what the matter is not with me, doctor. I seem to be suffering from all the illnesses imaginable: insomnia, headaches, backache, indigestion, constipation and pains in the stomach. To make things still worse, I've caught a cold, I've got a sore throat and I'm constantly sneezing and coughing. To crown it all, I had an accident the other day, hurt my right shoulder, leg and knee, and nearly broke my neck. If I take a long walk, I get short of breath. Fact In, I feel more dead than alive.
- I'm sorry to hear that. Anyhow, I hope things are not as bad as you imagine. Let me examine you. Your heart, chest and lungs seem to be all right. Now open your mouth and show me your tongue. Now breathe in deeply, through the nose ... There does not seem to be anything radically wrong with you, but it's quite clear that you're run down, and if you do not take care of yourself, you may have a nervous breakdown and have to go to hospital. I advise you, first of all, to stop worrying. Take a long rest, have regular meals, keep to a diet of salads and fruit, and very little meat Keep off alcohol. If possible, give up smoking, at least for a time. Have this tonic made up and take two tablespoonfuls three times a day before meals. You do this If, I can promise you full recovery within two or three months.
- And if I do not, doctor?
- Then you'd better make your will, if you have not yet done so.
- I see. Well, thank you, doctor. 1 have to think shall it over and decide which is the lesser evil: to follow your advice or prepare for a better world.

N .: Fine. Listen, Bert. I'm bursting with news. Just imagine: yesterday I had the first real patient of my own.
In .: You do not say! It was Who?
N .: A nice old dear with a lot of teeth to be pulled out. It's such wonderful practice for me!
In Are you quite .: sure that some of his teeth could not be filled?
N .: None of them! I sent him to have his teeth X-rayed, so it's all right.
In How did you .: manage to get such a marvellous patient, I wonder?
N .: He came with a bad toothache. It had been bothering him for a day or two already.
The Were there no .: other dentists in the surgery?
N .: No, I was the only one. It was Sunday.
In .: Poor old thing! Hope you did I not try to pull out all his teeth at once, did you?
N .: Do not be silly. I just chose the easiest one to begin with.
As I see ... .: And how did you get along?
N .: Wonderfully. I tested his blood pressure and gave him a couple of injections, though he said that my smile worked better than any injection.
In .: Oh, he did, did he? And he did not have heart attack after the tooth was taken out? It would have been It natural for an old man.
N .: No, he just felt a bit sick and giddy. I gave him a tonic and told him to stay in bed for a while and take his temperature.
In .: Perhaps I'd better drop in and check his heart? On'm sick I leave now and can do it at any time.
N .: You need not. I'll ring him up and in case he's running a high temperature I'll let you know. But I do hope he will not. The day after tomorrow he's coming again,
The Are you sure .: he's not going to make an appointment with some other dentist?
N .: I do not think he will. When he was leaving he said he looked forward to having all his teeth pulled out and he would keep them all as souvenirs to remember me by.
In .: Well, I wish you good luck. Hope to hear from you soon. For now Bye, Nell.
N .: Good-bye, Bert. You'll let I know how things are going on.
