A: Nice to see you; how have you been feeling lately?
B: I have been feeling great, Dr. Smith.
A: I am happy that you have decided to come in for your annual physical.
B: Yes, I am going on a cross-country bike ride on vacation and want to make sure that I don’t have any problems.
A: We are going to look at your heart and lungs, do a few blood tests, and see that your eyes, ears, and nose are all working as they should be.
B: I’ve been having trouble with congestion in my chest. Can you give me some tests for that?
A: I can do a chest X-ray to check for congestion.
B: That would be great. What is the blood test for?
A: The blood test is for cholesterol, white blood cell count, and blood sugar.
B: I have been feeling great. I don’t imagine that any of my tests will turn out badly.
