The doctor will see you now, Mr. Black. Would you come this way, please?
OK, thanks.
Now, Mr. Black, will you tell me what happened, please?
Well, I was in this restaurant, when suddenly I feel this terrible pain! I’ve never know anything like it.
Where exactly is the pain, Mr Black?
It was in my heart, doctor, I’m only 34; I’m too young to die!
What was going to happen to me?
I have to ask you a few more questions, Mr. black, so try to keep calm.
Now, you say the pain was in you heart. That is, it was in your chest.
Oh, yes.
Did you have a pain anywhere else; in your head, or your arm, or your legs?
Yes, I’ve had a terrible headache all day.
I see.
Tell me Mr. Black, do you smoke at all.
Just a few, you know.
How many, exactly?
Only20, well, maybe 30, say 40 a day.
Hum. And how much do you weigh, please?
On, er…say 70 or 80 kilos. Maybe 90, about.
Hmm. Are you married, Mr. Black?
No, I’m not married. But I have plenty of girlfriends, if that’s what you mean.
No, that wasn’t what I meant. Do you do much exercise, Mr. Black?
Well, you know, I’m a busy man. Er…sometimes I walk up the stairs at work-if the elevator isn’t working.
But my office is only on the 1st floor.
Ok, well, Mr. Black, you’re had a small heart attack, but you’re perfectly alright now.
But if you don’t want to have another one you’ll have to change your way of life.
No cigarettes, no alcohol, plenty of exercise and plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
What?
To help you start your new life; I’m sending you to a clinic. A health clinic.
Thanks.
