1. Come in!
2. Good afternoon, Mrs. Temple.  How are we getting along
3. Go sit down, won’t you?
4. I’d like another prescription¹ for Oblivac, please.
5. I see. Any particular reason?
6. Yes, the pharmacist told me I couldn’t get them without a prescription
7. No.  I meant:  is there any reason why you’ve finding² it hard to sleep?  Do you have any aches and pains?
8. Well, I have had a bit of a toothache.
9. I see. Have you been to see a dentist?
10. Yes.  I went to the dentist last week.
11. So your teeth don’t hurt any more, then?
12. No.
13. Anything else?  Have you injured yourself in my way?
14. No. 
15. But you still having difficulty in sleeping?
16. Yes.
17. Would you say it was for psychological³ reasons, perhaps?
18. Look, I don’t know, doctor.  I’m tired and fed up.  I just want to sleep, and forget everything!
19. Hmm. Look.  I think I’ll make you an appointment to see a colleague of mine: Dr Cranston.
20. She’s a really understanding and caring person, I think you could do with someone to talk to, don’t you?
21. When would be a good time for you?
22. What is she, this Dr Cranston?
23. She’s a psychiatrist⁴.
24. Do you think I’m going  crazy, then?  Is that why you’re sending me to a psychiatrist?
25. Of course you’re not going crazy, Mrs. Temple; you’re just a little…tired, that’s all.
26. Look, don’t think of her as a psychiatrist, just think of her as someone to talk to.
27. When shall we say, then? I’ll make the appointment now.
