Read the dialogue below. 

Doctor: When did you last come in for a physical exam?

Patient: I had my last physical two years ago.

Doctor: Have you had any other exams recently? Blood work, an EKG, or an ultrasound?

Patient: Well, I had a few X-rays at the dentist.

Doctor: How have you been feeling in general?

Patient: Pretty well. No complaints.

Doctor: Could you roll up your left sleeve? I'd like to take your blood pressure.

Patient: Certainly.

Doctor: 120 over 80. That's fine. You don't seem to be overweight, that's good. Do you exercise regularly?

Patient: No, not really. If I run up a flight of stairs, it takes me a while to get my breath back. I need to get out more.

Doctor: That would be a good idea. How about your diet?

Patient: I think I eat a pretty balanced diet. I'll have a hamburger from time to time, but generally, I have well-balanced meals.

Doctor: That's good. Now, I'm going to listen to your heart.

Patient: Ooh, that's cold!

Doctor: Don't worry it's just my stethoscope. Now, breathe in and hold your breath. Please pull up your shirt, and breathe deeply... Everything sounds good. Let's take a look at your throat. Please open wide and say 'ah'.

Patient: 'ah'

Doctor: OK. Everything looks ship-shaped. I'm going to order some blood work and that's about it. Take this slip to the front desk and they'll arrange an appointment for the tests.

Patient: Thank you, doctor. Have a nice day.
