3.Dialogue

Dialogue1

Pam: Hi, I'd like to fill a prescription.
Pharmacist: What's your last name?
Pam: James. My first name is Pam. Does my insurance cover this?
Pharmacist: Yes, it does.
Pam: Great.
Pharmacist: I'll be right back.
Pharmacist: Are you allergic to any
other medications?
Pam: Uh, no, I'm not.
Pharmacist: Okay. So this will help stop the diarrhea. The dosage is two tablets every six hours. It's better if you take it with some plain food, like rice or scrambled eggs. Nothing spicy.
Pam: I understand.
Pharmacist: And this is for the nausea and the vomiting. Take two capsules twice a day for three days. I hope you feel better.
Pam: Thank you.

Dialogue 2

DOCTOR: I'm going to write you a prescription for some medication. The dosage is two tablets, twice a day.
PATIENT: Okay.
DOCTOR: You aren't allergic to anything, are you?
PATIENT: No, I'm not.
DOCTOR: Good. And you're not currently taking any other medication?
PATIENT: No.
DOCTOR: Great. Take it easy when you have an appetite again – nothing spicy for the first week, OK? By the way, I'm sorry to say your insurance won't cover this. You'll need to pay for it yourself.
