Doctor: Have you been working very hard?

Patient: I've had some very urgent work to do and I had to keep late hours as I was short of time.

Doctor: Well, strip to the waist, please. I'll sound you. (Sounds his chest). Your heart is very good. Let me feel your pulse. It's quite normal. I think you must have a good rest. Do you smoke, by the way?

Patient: Sorry to say, but I do. About twenty cigarettes a day.

Doctor: You must cut it down by half at least. Then take a leave and get to some quiet place. I'm sure that fresh air, a change of surroundings will do you a lot of good.

Patient: Will you prescribe me some medicine?

Doctor: I'll give you some steeping pills. Take them for a week. But I've already said that the best remedy for you will be a good rest somewhere in the country.

Patient: Thank you, doctor. I'm sure to follow your advice. Good-bye.
