Unit 4

Doctor! I've been waiting here for over two hours and still nobody's taken look at me.

Sorry about that. Come in to the examining room. I'll take a look at you now. What seems to be the problem?

I've had a stomackache since this morning and now the short pain around my belly button.

Does it hurt when I push here?

Ouch! It hurst like anything.

I am going to run some tests on you. Something may be wrong with your appendix, but I want to rule out everything else first.

OK. What's next?

I need you to fill out some forms about family history, personal information, and allergies to drugs; and to get your permission to run these tests. Please go to the nurse station and show give you the forms.
