Nice to see you ; how have you been feeling lately?
I have been feeling great, Dr. Smith.
I am happy that you have decided to come in for your annual physical.
Yes, I am going on a cross-country bike ride on vacation and want to make sure that I don't have any problems.
We are going to look at your heart and lungs, do a few blood tests, and see that your eyes, ears, and nose are all working as they should.
I'Ve been having trouble with congestion in my chest. Can you give me some tests for that?
I can do a chest X-ray to check for congestion.
That would be great. What is the blood test for?
The blood test is for cholesterol, white blood cell count, and blood sugar.
I have been feeling great. I don't imagine that any of my tests will turn out badly.
