Could you give me something for the pain? I couldn't get to sleep until 3 o'clock this morning.
Aspirin is the strongest medicine I can give you.
That isn't strong enough, and I don't have to meet my doctor until next week.
Who is your doctor?
Dr. Hilary.
Doesn't he have his office on the corner?
Yes, he does.
Are you a regular patient?
Yes.
Oh. Then I can call him if you like. Dr. Hilary will give me a pain treatment over the phone.
I'd appreciate that very much. Do you think that he'll still be in his office?
Sure. It's only 4:30. He should be there until five.
