Doctor #2 ‘H,H,Hello, how are you?’’
‘Fine thank you [Sick] – I have come about some more anti-biotics’
Dr ‘Do you smoke?’
‘Cigars’
Dr ‘How many?’
‘6 ish a day’
Dr ‘Isn’t it time you gave them up?’
‘Yes, I have quit cigarettes but I will try [Unfortunately the help I received from the surgery to quit is not longer available]’
Dr ‘I am sending you for an X-Ray’
‘Why?’
Dr ‘Well you are not getting any younger and 3 months is a long time to have a cough. Come back in three weeks when the results should be in’
Three weeks, no need to panic then.
Later that day – Hospital X-Ray dept
Radiographer ‘Thank you, your results will be available in one week’
PANIC
