Doctor：What seems to be the problem？

　　Patient：Well，I was crossing the road，where a car came round the corner too quickly，and when the driver saw me，it was too late to stop. I was knocked to the ground，and when I got up，my left arm and elbow were grazed（擦伤） and now，I have a pain in my ribs.

Doctor：I'll just take a look. Where does it hurt？

　　Patient：It's hard to say. It hurts all over.

　　Doctor：Does it hurt when I do this？

　　Patient：Ouch！The pain is very bad when you press here.

　　Doctor：You arm and elbow seem to be all right. But，to be on the safe side，you'd better go to the X-ray Department. When the X-rays are ready，bring them back to me to examine.

　　Patient：OK. See you later.

　　Doctor：See you then！

　　（Ten minutes later，the patient brings back the X-ray plates）

　　Patient：Here's my X-rays.

　　Doctor：I'll just take a look at it. Everything is all right，except here，see it？There's a hairline fracture（骨折，断裂）.

　　Patient：Is it serious？

    Doctor：No. It's not very serious， but you should take two or three weeks off work，and rest in bed as much as possible.

　　Patient：Should I take some medicine，doctor？

　　Doctor：All right. I'll give you some herbal medicine to help you heal quickly. In addition，I will prescribe you some medicine for oral administration（口服）. Here is a prescription. Take it to the chemist's. please take the medicine according to the instruction.

　　Patient：Will I need to be put in plaster？

　　Doctor：No，it isn't necessary. I have presribed you a tube of ointment.Administer it two or three times a day.
Patient：Thank you very much, doctor.

　　Doctor：Not at all. Goodbye！

　　Patient：Goodbye！
