At a doctor: Dialogue 2:
| Doctor: | — | Good morning. Please have a seat here. What's the problem? |
| Paul Ryefield: | — | I have a terrible stomachache. |
| Doctor: | — | Do you have diarrhea? |
| Paul Ryefield: | — | Yes, I do. |
| Doctor: | — | Do you have any other symptoms? |
| Paul Ryefield: | — | Yes, I feel sick. |
| Doctor: | — | You mean you feel nauseous? |
| Paul Ryefield: | — | That's right. I feel like vomiting. And right now I feel dizzy, too. |
| Doctor: | — | When did the symptoms start? |
| Paul Ryefield: | — | This morning. Yesterday evening I ate something raw. |
| Doctor: | — | All right. Please take off your clothes to the waist and lie down there. ... Just tell me if it hurts when I do this. |
| Paul Ryefield: | — | It doesn't hurt. ... Ouch. It hurts there. |
| Doctor: | — | Okay. Let's hope it's just indigestion, but we'll need to run some diagnostic tests to be sure. We'll run a blood test and we'll also need a urine sample. |
| Paul Ryefield: | — | Can you give me something for the time being? |
| Doctor: | — | Yes, I'll give you a prescription for indigestion tablets. |
