Lesson 13 Key Conversation Is the Doctor Busy Today?

Receptionist: Good morning, Dr. Brown's office. How may I help you?

Patient: Good morning. This is Larry Brown. I'm not feeling so well today. Would it be possible to make an appointment to see the doctor?

Receptionist: Hi, Larry. Sorry to hear you're under the weather. There's a lot of the flu going around these days, so the doctor is quite busy.

Patient: I don't doubt that for a second. Could you squeeze me in sometime today, please?

Receptionist: Let me see. Could you be here in thirty minutes?

Patient: I don't think I could be there that fast. Do you have anything else available?

Receptionist: All right. Could you come at a half past four this afternoon?

Patient: Yes, that would work just fine.

Receptionist: OK, Larry, so we'll see you at 4:30 p.m. this afternoon.

Patient: Thank you so much for squeezing me in. I really appreciate it. See you later today. Bye for now.

Receptionist: Yes, bye for now.
