D: Doctor
M: Mike

D: Good afternoon, Mike. What seems to be the problem today?

M: Hi Doc. I’m in quite a bit of pain. I think I’ve cracked
one of my ribs.

D: That doesn’t sound too good. Let’s take a look, now.

M: Ow!

D: Mmm. It certainly looks that way. What happened?

M: Well, to tell you the truth, it’s kind of embarrassing.
My son got a Superman figurine for Christmas, and was trying to
make it fly you see, and he threw it up onto the roof by accident.
I was climbing up to retrieve it when I slipped and hit the edge
of the roof.

D: Oh dear! I haven’t heard that one before.

M: No kidding. So, what’s the story, Doc?

D: Well, I’m pretty sure you have a broken rib, but just to make sure,
I’m going to send you down the hall to get a couple of chest X-rays.
Take this form with you and give it to the nurse at the desk.

M: OK then.

D: Oh, and one more thing. I have to ask, did you manage to get
Superman down?

M: Ha. Yeah, I threw him down just before I slipped.

D: (Laughs) I’m glad to hear that. Well, I’ll see you again after
you get your X-rays done, then.

M: Yeah, thanks.
