Student: Good morning.

Dr: Good morning. Come in. Sit down. Now. You're a new patient, aren't you?

Student: Yes, that's right.

Dr: Okay, so I'd better get some basic details down first, right? We'll start with your name.

Student: Martin Hansen.

Dr: Do you spell that? Son or Sen

Student: Hansen.

Dr: Okay, and you are a first-year student.

Student: Yes. I am.

Dr: Studying?

Dr: Sorry, right. And when were you born?

Student: On the 15th of June 1986.

Dr: Here in New Zealand?

Student: Yes.

Dr: Now, let's get some of your medical background. Have you ever had any serious illness or accident?

Student: A broken leg I got playing football when I was 17. I was in the school team.

Dr: What position did you play in?

Student: I was the goalkeeper

Dr: A lot of standing around then?

Student: Yes, when we were winning.

Dr: Anything else?

Student: No apart from that nothing

Dr: And have you had any operations of any kind?

Student: No, the only time I've been to hospital was when I broke my leg.

Dr: Fine, any allergies?

Student: Yes, to dust and cats.

Dr: What form does that take? How do you react?

Student: They both make me sneeze a bit, nothing else.

Dr: So, you're not allergic to antibiotics like penicillin as far as you know?

Student: I don't think so.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.
Now listen carefully and answer questions 7 to 10

Dr: Good. So, what's your problem?

Student: Well recently. I've been getting this pain here just behind my eyes and in my forehead.

Dr: I see have you felt sick or dizzy at all or vomited?

Student: No, not at all though. The pain is pretty intense sometimes.

Dr: And how's your health generally? Have you had any colds or flu recently?

Student: I had a cold a couple of weeks ago, but that's gone. It was only a sniffle.

Dr: Really good. Are you studying a lot? You getting enough sleep?

Student: Yes, I'm studying quite a lot. I've got some exams coming up in December, but I'm making sure to sleep plenty.

Dr: What time do you go to bed?

Student: Usually around 11:00. I sleep about eight and a half hours and I'm up about 7:30. So I have time to go jogging for half an hour before going to the University at 9.

Dr: Very healthy. And has this pain kept you awake or stopped you jogging?

Student: Yes. It makes getting to sleep harder. It's much worse at the end of the day. I hardly notice it in the morning.

Dr: What about food? Are you eating properly?

Student: I think so, my girlfriend cooks my meals.

Dr: Right? And do you wear glasses?

Student: No,

Dr: When did you last visit an optician?

Student: I don't remember. When I was a child I suppose.

Dr: Okay. Well, I think first you should get that done again just to make sure it's not the cause. In the meantime, you can take an aspirin or two when you're in pain and come and see me again in a week. Ask the receptionist to give you an appointment with the optician. He's here on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
