I went to see my doctor because I had a
nagging pain in my leg. After he
examined me and ran some routine
tests,
he suggested that I go see a
specialist. I
made an appointment with Dr.
Sloap.
Dr. Sloap: Good morning. How are you
today?
Simon: I’m fine, Dr. Slope. My GP,
Dr.
Harding, referred me to you. He
thought
that you might be able to diagnose
the
problem with my leg.
Dr. Sloap: Well, let’s take a look…Hmm…I
want to
order some tests but I think you
may
need surgery. It’s a simple
procedure and it will
relieve
your pain.
Simon: So, it’s not a high risk
operation?
Dr. Sloap: No, not at all. It’s quite
routine.
Simon: Are there any other treatment
options?
Dr. Sloap: Not that I’d recommend.
This
is the best course of treatment in my
opinion.
I was really surprised by what Dr. Slope said. I
really didn’t want to have surgery. I think I’d
better
get a second opinion before
going
under the knife.
