大夫：你哪里不舒服？
病人：唉，我刚才过马路，正赶上一辆车从拐角处开过来。由于车速过快，等司机看到我再刹车时，已经太晚了。我被撞倒在地，从地上爬起来时，我发现我的右臂和肘部也檫伤了。现在我感到肋骨有点儿疼痛。
大夫：让我检查一下吧。你哪儿疼啊？
病人：这很难说清楚，好像浑身都痛。
大夫：我按这儿，你疼不疼？
病人：哎呀！你一按这儿我就疼得要命。
大夫：你的胳膊和肘部好像没什么问题。但是出于安全考虑，你还是最好去照一张X光片。片子照好之后，马上拿过来让我看看。
病人： 好的，那么待会儿再见吧！
大夫：待会儿见！
病人：这是我的X光片。
大夫：让我看看，一切基本正常。只是这儿，你看， 有点儿小问题。有一点儿骨裂。
病人：这严重吗？
大夫：算不上严重。但是，这两三周你最好不要去上班。尽量卧床休息。
病人：大夫，我是否需要服用点儿什么药呢？
大夫： 是这样，我会给你开一些草药，这样你的伤口会愈合得快一点儿。另外，你还需要服用一些口服药。这是药方。待会儿你拿到药房去配药。请按说明服药。
病人：我需要上石膏吗？
大夫：不需要。药方里我给你开了一管药膏。每天搽两三次。
病人：非常感谢您，大夫。
大夫：不客气。再见！
病人：再见！
