地道美语听力播客:Seeing a Specialist专家门诊

I went to see my doctor because I had a nagging pain in my leg. After he examined me and ran some routine tests , he suggested that I go see a specialist . I made an appointment with Dr. Sloap.
Dr. Sloap: Good morning. How are you today?
Simon: I’m fine, Dr. Slope. My GP , Dr. Harding, referred me to you. He thought that you might be able to diagnose the problem with my leg.
Dr. Sloap: Well, let’s take a look…Hmm…I want to order some tests but I think you may needsurgery . It’s a simple procedure and it will relieve your pain.
Simon: So, it’s not a high risk operation ?
Dr. Sloap: No, not at all . It’s quite routine .
Simon: Are there any other treatment options ?
Dr. Sloap: Not that I’d recommend. This is the best course of treatment in my opinion.
I was really surprised by what Dr. Slope said. I really didn’t want to have surgery. I think I’d better get a second opinion before going under the knife .
