Dialogue
1/English Sentence Practice
Hello come in, If you would like to undress we can start the scan.
If you become anxious during the scan you can press the panic button.
If people take a calmative before they go into the tunnel, they are often less stressed.
If you take one you will start to relax straight away.
It is alright I do not suffer from claustrophobia. I had a scan when I hurt my back a few years ago.
If I take a pill I will be sleepy all day. If you can get some rest I’m sure you will feel better.
John comes out from behind the screen and he lays down on the flat surface of the machine.
The machine starts and it is as if he is bombarded with noise.
He is not sure whether the bed is moving or the machine is moving over him.
He says to himself, if this goes on too long I will fall asleep.
The last thing John remembers is his wife coming in and greeting the doctor.
He wakes up to see two nurses smiling. It is the first time someone has fallen asleep in the scanner.
He says hello to the doctor. Is everything alright?
If I were you I would be relieved. You have a small problem with your appendix you appear to have swallowed a coin.
You will have to have it out sooner rather than later. It is slightly inflamed.
