W: Hello, I’m Jenny Johnson. How are you this morning?
    M: Hello! Doctor Johnson, I can’t say I’m feeling well. (1)I have a pain and swelling in my knees.
    W: What kind of pain is it?
    M: It is a dull ache. But sometimes the pain is constant, and disturbs my sleep.
    W: How long have you been feeling pain in your knees?
    M: For about two years. But recently, (1)I feel pain in my fingers.
    W: Have you had any swelling in your fingers?
    M: Yes, a little.
    W: How about your wrists or toes?
    M: No, only my knees and fingers. The pain becomes worse when the weather changes, like in cloudy or wet weather.
    W: OK. Let me see your blood test report first.
    M: How is it?
    W: Not very bad.
    M: Do I have to have an operation?
    W: No, I don’t think so. (2) I’ll prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine. Also you need a treatment with rays below the red in the spectrum.
    M: Do I have to come here every day for the treatment?
    W: (3) Not every day. Can you come three times a week? A course of treatment includes 20 times, so you have to come for the treatment three times a week for seven weeks.
    M: How long does each treatment take?
    W: 30 minutes.
    M: OK. I’ll do that.
    W: (4) When you are at home, use these hot water pads as often as possible. Put one over your knees. Try to avoid using cold water.
    M: OK. Thank you, Doctor.
    W: You’re welcome.
