W: Could you give me something for the pain? I didn’t get to sleep until 3 this morning.
M: Aspirin is the strongest medication I can give you without a prescription.
W: That isn’t strong enough, and I don’t have an appointment with my dentist until next week.
M: Who’s your dentist?
W: Dr. Patrick.
M: Doesn’t he have his office on the comer?
W: Yes, he does.
M: Are you a regular patient?
W: Yes.
M: Oh. Then I can call him ff you like. Dr. Patrick will give me a pain prescription over the phone.
W: I’d appreciate that very much. Do you think that he’ll still be in his office?
M: Sure. It’s only half past four. He should be there until five.
W: Good.
M: Too bad you can’t get an appointment sooner.
W: I know. Dr. Patrick is always booked up through. I was lucky to get in as soon as I did.
M: In the meantime, be careful not to eat or drink anything too hot or too cold.
W: I really don’t feel like eating or drinking anything at all.
M: Well, I’ll give Dr. Patrick a call and we’ll see what we can do for you.
