Doctor: Well, what's the matter with you, Mr. Walker?
Patient: You'd better ask me what is not the matter with me, doctor. I seem to be suffering from all the illnesses imaginable: insomnia, головний біль, біль у спині, indigestion, constipation and pains in the stomach. Гірше того, I've caught a cold, у мене болить горло, and I'm constantly sneezing and coughing. На довершення всього, I had an accident the other day, забила ліве плече, leg and knee, and nearly broke my neck. If I take a long walk, I маю задишку. In fact, я почуває себе ледь живою.
Doctor: I'm sorry to hear that. Anyhow, I hope things aren't as bad as you imagine. Дихайте глибже. Your heart, chest and lungs seem to be all right. Now open your mouth and покажіть мені свій язик. Now дихайте глибже through the nose... There doesn't seem to be anything radically wrong with you, but it's quite clear that you're run down, and if you don't take care of yourself, you may мати нервовий зрив and have to go to hospital. I advise you, first of all, to stop worrying. Take a long rest, регулярно харчуватися, дотримуватися дієти of salads and fruit, and very little meat. Утримуватись від вживання алкоголю. 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. If you do this, I can promise you повністю одужаєте within two or three months.
Patient: And if I don't, doctor?
Doctor: Then you'd better make your will, if you haven't yet done so! Patient: I see. Well, thank you, doctor. I shall have to think it over and decide which is the lesser evil — to follow your advice or prepare for a better world!
