THE EXAMINATION

I was waiting for the doctor to finish his examination. I was worried and nervous. Would he have to operate ? Would a blood transfusion be necessary ? What would he have to say ?
Dr. Johnson was a heart specialist. He was an excellent doctor and his examinations were always complete. He listened to the patient’s heart, took his blood pressure and temperature, gave him an X-ray and examined his eyes and ears.
The doctor finally completed his examination and spoke to me. He told me that heart trouble is never a minor illness, but his wasn’t a serious heart attack. He advised losing some weight, getting plenty of sleep and eating good meals. Smoking and drinking would be harmful, ofcourse. Dr. Johnson said it would be necessary to be careful for a while, but he was confident that there was nothing to worry about.
I felt much better after I spoke to Dr. Johnson. I was certain that my uncle would be up and around again very soon. He’s seventy years old now, but he can still live for a long time if he takes good care of himself.
