M: | Hello. |
W: | This is Hilton clinic. I'm calling to remind you of your biannual checkup at 10:00 on Thursday, July the 16th. |
M: | I'm sorry but I have a previous engagement that day. Could you reschedule it for either July 20th or 21st? I'd like to see Dr. Allen. |
W: | Hold on please. Dr. Allen isn't available on the 21st, but I can put you in a time with her for 10 a.m. on the 20th. How does that sound? |

W: | Well, most of the time it feels like a cramp, but occasionally it's sharp and stabbing. |
M: | Does it come and go or do you have it all the time? |
W: | Well, it's worse at times. It seems to come over me in waves, but mostly it's there all the time. |
