Exercise № 4

Practise the dialogue, getting a fellow student to play the part of the patient. He/she can select replies from the list (1) below

Doctor: What part of your back (chest, head, etc.) is affected

Patient: Just here.

Doctor: Can you describe the pain?

Patient: It’s…

(1)

a dull (тупой) sort of ache, throbbing (пульсирующая)

a feeling of pressure

very sore, like a knife

a burning pain

Note how the doctor asks if anything relieves the pain:

- Is there anything that makes it better?

Similarly (аналогично) he can ask:

- Does anything make it worse?

Doctors often ask if anything else affects the problem. For example:

- What effects (воздействие) does food have?

- Does lying down help the pain?

Exercise № 5

Work with a partner. In each of these four cases ask your partner where the pain is. Then ask two other appropriate questions to help you reach a diagnosis. Use all the ways of questioning we studied above. For example:

Doctor: Where does it hurt?

Patient: Right across here (indicating the central chest area)

Doctor: Can you describe the pain?

Patient: It’s like a heavy weight pressing on my chest.

Doctor: Does anything make it better?

Patient: If I stop for a bit, it goes away.

In this example, the patient’s symptoms suggest angina.

Now try each of these four cases in the same way.

1.

Doctor: _________________________________

Patient: Here, just under my ribs.

Doctor: _________________________________

Patient: It gets worse and worse. Then it goes away.

Doctor: _________________________________

Patient: Food makes it worse.

2.

Doctor: __________________________________

Patient: It’s right here (indicating the stomach area)

Doctor: __________________________________

Patient: It’s a gnawing (ноющая) kind of pain.

Doctor: __________________________________

Patient: Yes, if I eat, it gets better.

3.

Doctor: __________________________________

Patient: Down here (indicating down part of the chest).

Doctor: __________________________________

Patient: It’s a sharp (острая), stabbing (колющая) pain. It’s like

a knife.

Doctor: __________________________________

Patient: If I take a deep breath, or I cough, it’s really sore

4. Doctor: __________________________________

Patient: Just here (indicating upper part of the chest)

Doctor: __________________________________

Patient: My chest feels raw inside (боль внутри).

Doctor: When I cough, it hurts most.
