Getting in to See a Busy Doctor 


Monique: Ugh! 


Jurgen: What’s the matter? 


Monique: My GP referred me to a specialist for my back problems, but she doesn’t have any openings for eight weeks! I’m waitlisted in case there’s a cancellation 1, but if there isn’t one, I’ll have to endure this pain for at least another eight weeks. 


Jurgen: Can’t you just go see another specialist? 


Monique: I could, but my GP says that she’s the best in the business. In the meantime, I’ll try to see a physical therapist about my neck. It’s flaring 2 up again. 


Jurgen: At least you’ll get some relief. 


Monique: Maybe. I have to call back tomorrow morning to see if she can fit me in. She’s really booked up, too. While I’m waiting, I guess I could try to see the podiatrist about my feet. 


Jurgen: You’re having feet problems, too? 


Monique: Yeah, my whole body is falling apart. I think I’m nearly past my expiration 3 date!
