Sample Conversation

Receptionist:
Doctor's office. Jane speaking. How can I help you?
Caller:
I need to make an appointment with Dr. Harris.
Receptionist:
Do you know your chart number?
Caller:
No, sorry. It's at home and I'm at work right now.
Receptionist:
No problem. What's your name, please?
Caller:
George Mason.
Receptionist:
Okay Mr Mason. Hold one moment while I grab your chart, please.
Caller:
Sure.
Receptionist:
Thanks for waiting. Now, what do you need to see the doctor about?
Caller:
Well, I've been fighting a cold for more than a week, and I think I might have a chest infection or something. My cough is getting worse each day.
Receptionist:
Hmm. Doctor Harris is off tomorrow. Do you think it can wait until Wednesday?
Caller:
Oh, I was really hoping to get in today or tomorrow in case I need some antibiotics. Maybe I'll have to go to the walk-in-clinic instead.
Receptionist:
Actually, we had a cancellation for 2:00pm today if you can get away from the office.
Caller:
Gee, it's almost 1:00pm already. I think I can make it if I leave right now.
Receptionist:
We're running a bit behind schedule, so you can probably count on seeing the doctor around 2:30.
Caller:
That's great. Thanks for fitting me in.
Receptionist:
No problem, Mr. Mason. We'll see you in an hour or so.
