Conversation Practice...

Last wo days, (Tuesday), Miss Adilah came into our class quite late as she had something to do. So, our class rep. who is Abul, told us to read lesson 3 and 4 in the textbook.

These are consist of the manners and the appropiate dialogue as an excellent doctor. In this book, stated that the conversation between Dr. Murray as a doctor and Robert as the examiner who explained the patient's problem to the doctor.

The chief complaint is he has low subjective fever, cough with bad tasting phlegm, night sweats, and weight loss getting worse over the last 4 months. His social history, he was a long-term smoker and through the physical examination, the temperature was about 38C, he had gingival disease, dullness to percussion and absent breath sounds in lower right lobe of lung. He was also have the clubbing of fingers. So, from the descriptions given above, we found that the patient had a lung abscess disease...

At the end of our session, Miss Adilah gave us a task to do. The task is a presentation in groups, male and female. The presentation will be held on Friday...
