how to talk with doctor in english on phone
Decide the one thing you want from the call before you dial, then say it in the first fifteen seconds. A workable opening is I would like to speak to someone about a symptom. I have had a high temperature since Tuesday and it is not going down.
Decide the one thing you want from the call before you dial, then say it in the first fifteen seconds. A workable opening is I would like to speak to someone about a symptom. I have had a high temperature since Tuesday and it is not going down. On the phone you cannot point, so describe, count and spell: It started on Tuesday. It is a seven out of ten. My surname is Ali, A for apple, L for Lima, I for India.
On a call like this the questions come one after another, so prepare answers that fit in a single sentence: how long ago it started, how strong it is today, and what you have already taken. Keep a pen ready and note the time you called, what you were told and any number you were given, because that record is what a second call or an urgent appointment will ask for.
