* esl 45 A Visit to the Doctor annual receptionist instruct yearly strip underwear chart stethoscope throat abdomen put sth off get around down the hall take sb temperature strip down show up The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today. 对明天最好的准备就是今天做到最好。 text1 Going to the doctor is never particularly pleasant for me. But I couldnt put it off any longer. It was time for my annual physical, and there was no getting around it. So I picked up the phone and called for an appointment. Id like to see Dr. Shimoya next week, please, if thats possible, I said. Of course, it wasnt possible. The doctor was booked until next month, the receptionist told me. Okay, I said, lets schedule it for next month.? When the day arrives, I drive over to the doctor and check-in at the receptionist desk. I have to present my HMO card and pay the co-pay of $15.00. The receptionist instructs me to go to waiting room B, down the hall, first door on the right. So I go there and take a seat to wait. And wait. And wait. text2 Finally, my name is called and I go into see the doctor. The nurse weighs me, takes my temperature and blood pressure, and asks me why Im there. I tell her its time for my yearly check- up. She tells me to follow her to the examination room, and then to strip down to my underwear. Now Im sitting on the exam table, half- freezing, waiting for the doctor to show up . Finally, he walks in, looks at my chart, and begins his examination. Breathe, he says, as he places the stethoscope on my chest. Breathe in and out slowly, he says. I do so. Then he checks my throat and has me lay down to check my abdomen. Finally, he orders a blood test and says, Well, youre good for another year, Mr. McQuillan. Thank goodness, I think to myself, and get dressed to leave. come on larer 族长 *
