Doctor: Hello, how are you doing?

Back

Patient: I am fine, thanks, doctor.

Front

Doctor: Did you sleep well yesterday?

Back

Patient: Well, yes, doctor, but there was this pain that’s been nagging me.

Front

Doctor: Pain? When did you feel the pain?

Back

Patient: Just after 10 in the evening; I wasn’t able to sleep throughout the whole night.

Front

Doctor: Ok, was the pain on and off… or was the pain continuous?

Back

Patient: Well, yes, doctor, it was… For a few minutes, it was very unbearable for me; but later it slowed down.

Front

Doctor: Oh, I see…

Back

Patient: I am really worried, doctor.

Front

Doctor: Don’t be! There is nothing to be worried about, I promise.

Back

Patient: When will this pain go away, doctor? Will it go away or not?

Front

Doctor: Well, this pain will certainly go away; you honestly don’t need to be worried.

Back

Patient: Doctor, there is another thing that I have to tell you…

Front

Doctor: Please, tell me.

Back

Patient: I’m having difficulty with swallowing as well… it’s really difficult for me to swallow anything down.

Front

Doctor: Well, it is not like that. Only two days have passed since we performed the operation.

Back

Patient: Will these problems be there in the future too? I am really worried.

Front

Doctor: In the beginning, these problems of difficulties with speaking or swallowing are very common.

Back

Patient: Doctor, I’m experiencing difficulties with breathing too – is this normal?
