地道美语听力练习:预约一位忙碌的医生

Monique:Ugh!

Jurgen:What's the matter?

Monique:My GP referred me to a specialist for my back problems, but she doesn't have any openings for eight weeks!

I'm waitlisted in case there's a cancellation, but if there isn't one, I'll have to endurethis pain for at least another eight weeks.

Jurgen:Can't you just go see another specialist?

Monique:I could, but my GP says that she's the best in the business.

In the meantime, I'll try to see a physical therapist about my neck.

It's flaring up again.

Jurgen:At least you'll get some relief.

Monique:Maybe. I have to call back tomorrow morning to see if she can fit me in.

She's really booked up, too.

While I'm waiting, I guess I could try to see the podiatrist about my feet.

Jurgen:You're having feet problems, too?

Monique:Yeah, my whole body is falling apart. I think I'm nearly past my expiration date!
