prepare the dialogue between the doctor and patient about the high blood pressure that the patient has​
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Dialogue between a patient and his doctor about his high blood pressure.

Explanation:

"Good morning, Doctor," said Jim.

"Good morning, Jim. Please sit down. We have a lot to discuss this morning."

"Okay."

"Jim, do you know why I called you so early this morning?"

"No, Doc. But I'm hoping it isn't any bad news."

"The thing is, Jimmy, you don't take the advice seriously. I have already told you so many times and even warned you about being careful of what you consume. The last blood report we got came back so bad that I'll have to stop you from consuming certain foods."

"What does that even mean, Doc?"

"Your blood pressure hasn't gone down. In fact, it has been rising gradually. I have to order you to start eating vegetables, greens, salads, and fruits and also stay away from sugary drinks and alcohol. Moreover, maybe you should also start looking forward to exercises every morning, walks, jogging, anything."

"I can do that if it's needed."

"Are you so sure? I don't think you really understood the situation. Jim, what I'm trying to tell you is if you don't watch your diet and start living healthy, there's a high chance you'll have a heart attack soon and there'll be nothing I can do. So, before things get ugly, you have to make changes."

"Okay. I will try to do that."

"Good. Let's keep our word and stay healthy, eh?"

"Sure, doc. Thanks for the update. So, when do I come for my next check-up?"

"I will book you for next month, 5th. Till then, try to follow my advice, and let's see what improvements we can make in a month."

"Okay, doc. Thank you."
