狼读：EAI第一课: 请把砖往我的脚趾头上砸， 哈哈。

 

 

Lesson 1: My Toe is Killing Me!

Doctor: Sorry you waited so long, Paul; I’ve been tied up all

afternoon.What seems to be the problem this time?

Paul: Doc,my toe’s killingme. I think it’s broken.

Doctor: Hmm. . . Let’s have a look.Oh, yeah, that’s a beauty.

You really did a number on that toe.How’d it happen?

Paul: I was helping my brother move. I dropped a desk on my foot.

Doctor: Well, that’s a surefire way to break some bones. Paul,

didn’t I see you last year for some sprained fingers?

Paul: Yeah . . . I was trying to fix the toilet and got my hand

stuck. I yanked it out, and hurt myself. I’mstill trying to

live that one down.

Doctor: Well, Mr. Fix-it, you’ve really outdone yourself this time.

You won’t be walking with this foot for eight weeks.

Paul: That’s impossible! I have a camping trip scheduled for

six weeks from now. Can’t it be healed by then?

Doctor: That’s a tall order, Paul . . . But I suppose it’s not out of

the question.With a lot of rest now . . . and intensive

physical therapy, you just may be back in the saddle

again in six weeks. But the therapy requires a lot of

work, and time . . . and specifically, following the

doctor’s orders . . . Can you handle that?

Paul: Piece of cake!

Doctor: But listen, even if you are walking by then, you’ve got

to take it easy during the trip.No climbing trees or

jumping across streams or anything. You really need

to baby this leg for a while!

Paul: Sure thing.

Doctor: Well, Paul . . . let’s get you bandaged up.We’ll have you

hobbling out of here in no time.Now . . . I want you to

keep an eye on the swelling in the rest of the leg and

foot. And get in touch with Dr. Phillips . . . She’s the

physical therapist.

Paul: Okay,Doc. Should I drop by here another day?

Doctor: Yes.We’re going to want to follow up on this in about

two weeks.

Paul: I’ll schedule an appointment with the receptionist.

Thanks. Bye,Doc.

Doctor: You’re welcome. And Paul, take it easy, would you?

Paul: Yes, I will. I promise.
