At the clinic

Hi, I’d like to make an appointment to see a doctor this week.

My regular doctor is away, so I’d like to make an appointment with anyone available.

I’m here to check in — I have a 10 o’clock appointment with Dr. Lee.

I’m a little early, but I’m here to check in for my appointment.

It started Monday — I’ve had a sore throat for three days now.

To be honest, I’ve had a sore throat for three days and it isn’t getting better.

When you press — it hurts right here, on the lower left.

I can point to it for you — it hurts right here when I take a deep breath.

You need it for the file? Here is my insurance card and my ID.

I think my plan changed last month, but here is my insurance card for now.

It’s my first visit — do I need to fill out any forms?

My details have changed since last time — do I need to fill out any forms again?

I checked in a while ago — how long is the wait to be seen?

No problem if it’s a while — could you tell me roughly how long is the wait?

My work needs proof — can I get a doctor’s note for the days I was out?

Before I leave, can I get a doctor’s note to give to my school?

This can’t wait — where is the emergency room in this hospital?

Sorry to bother you — where is the emergency room? I think it’s this way.
