Ms Lee? Doctor will see you now.
ANNE
Thankyou.
ANNE enters the surgery.
DOCTOR CHANG
So Ms Lee. How can I help you?
ANNE
I’ve been getting some very bad headaches lately. And I feel tense.
DOCTOR CHANG
When do you get them?
ANNE
Usually at night, but sometimes in the morning too.
DOCTOR CHANG
And have you been taking anything for them?
ANNE
No.
DOCTOR CHANG
You look tense. Are you working too hard?
ANNE
Not really. I’m over here from Singapore buying wine.
DOCTOR CHANG
But something’s worrying you. Am I right?
ANNE
Yes, I’m worried about my brother. He’s been missing for two years.
DOCTOR CHANG
No wonder you’ve been getting headaches. Just let me give you a check up to make sure it’s nothing else.
DOCTOR CHANG
Your blood pressure is a little high, but your heart is fine. I’m sure it’s the
worry about your brother that’s causing the headaches.
ANNE
What can I do?
DOCTOR CHANG
Try to relax and get some rest. Do you prefer Western or Chinese medicine?
ANNE
I prefer Chinese medicine.
DOCTOR CHANG
Here are some tablets. Take two, three times a day. And try not to worry about your brother. I’m sure you’ll find him soon.
ANNE
Thankyou. I hope so.
