BLOOD
Nurse: We’re almost done taking your blood.
Donor: Okay. So, anyone might receive my blood.
Nurse: Not quite. Your blood is Type A, which means that it’s only
compatible with other people who have Type A and AB. We can’t give your
blood to someone with Type O or B.
Donor: Oh, that’s interesting. But i don’t really understand how they
work. Could you explain?
Nurse: Sure. Blood Type A can be tranfused to blood Type A and AB.
Blood Type B can be tranfused to blood Type B and AB. Blood Type O can
be tranfused to all blood types.
Donor: So, what happens if someone gets a transfusion with the wrong
type?
Nurse: That can be very dangerous, or even fatal.
Donor: That’s horrible. You must be careful about labeling the blood.
Nurse: Don’t worry, that’s my mission. We keep careful records so no one
gets the wrong blood type.
BONES
Doctor: Tell me what do you see in this X-ray?
Student: Well, there appears to be a fracture of the right wirst.
Doctor: That’s right. Can you identify the type of fracture?
Student: That looks like a standard stress fracture.
Doctor: Are you sure? May be you should take a closer look.
Student: Is that wrong? It’s not compound. It doesn’t look too serious.
The bone isn’t sticking out of the skin.
Doctor: That’s right, it’s not compound. But can you see how the bone is
slightly displaced?
Student: Oh yes, I see that now.
Doctor: So which type of bone fracture?
Student: It’s displaced fracture and it may be stress fracture if it’s
caused by repeated pressure

each case carefully.

SURGEGY
Doctor: Could we go over the surgegy schedule?
Secretary: You have an appendectomy on Mr. John at 10h.
Doctor: That could be a problem. I think Mr. John resection could take a
while.
Secretary: Why’s that, doctor?
Doctor: Ms. Cavas kidney transplant is going to be very long and
complex operation. And I need to research the laparoscopic surgery
method more thoroughly for Mr. John because his appendix was very
infected.
Secretary: So what should we do?
Doctor: We may need to push back the appendectomy to later in the day.
Secretary: Okay. There’s an operating room open at 5:00
Doctor: That would be perfect
