I went to see my doctor because I had a Nagging pain in my leg. After he examined me and ran some Routine tests, he suggested that I go see a Specialist. I made an appointment with Dr. Sloap.
Dr. Sloap: Good morning. How are you today?
Simon: I’m fine, Dr. Slope. My GP, Dr. Harding, Referred me to you. He thought that you might be able to Diagnose the problem with my leg.
Dr. Sloap: Well, let’s take a look…Hmm…I want to Order some tests but I think you may need Surgery. It’s a simple Procedure and it will Relieve your pain.
Simon: So, it’s not a High risk operation?
Dr. Sloap: No, Not at all. It’s quite Routine.
Simon: Are there any other Treatment options?
Dr. Sloap: Not that I’d recommend. This is the best Course of treatment in my opinion.
I was really surprised by what Dr. Slope said. I really didn’t want to have surgery. I think I’d better get a Second opinion before Going under the knife.
