A: Good morning, how are you doing today?
B: I have been feeling pretty good, Dr. Smith.
A: So, I can see by your chart that you are here for your annual physical.
B: Yes, I am playing on the tennis team this year, and they are requiring me to get a physical exam.
A: We are basically going to check your heart, lungs, blood sugar levels, and eyes, ears, and nose.
B: I’ve kind of been having problems being out of breath. Can you look at that?
A: Yes, I will check you for asthma, and maybe we can check you for allergies later.
B: Thank you. What will the blood test tell you?
A: We will be checking for blood sugar, cholesterol, and white blood cell count.
B: I have been working hard to stay healthy. I hope the tests turn out well.
