Section 2 Managing Diseases Situation A p. 94 Get Ready W: Welcome to St. Michael’s Medical Center. Are you here for an appointment today? M: Yes, I have an appointment with Dr. Lee. W: All right. Could you please tell me your name? M: Sure. It’s Luke Anderson. By the way, will I have to wait for a long time before seeing the doctor? W: Not at all, Mr. Anderson. Dr. Lee will be with you shortly. Listen Up M: Good morning! How can I help you today? W: Hi! I’ve been dealing with headaches every day for the last two weeks. M: I see. Could you tell me more about your headaches? How bad are they? W: Not too bad. The pain is manageable. M: I think you might have tension headaches. They can be caused by stress, poor posture, or tension in your head and neck. W: What should I do to prevent them? M: You should include relaxing activities into your daily routine, such as practicing gentle yoga. Additionally, try to take deep breaths as often as possible. If that doesn’t help, I can prescribe some medicine for you. W: Okay, I’ll make sure to follow your instructions and try to relax more. Thank you, Doctor. M: You’re welcome. Let’s schedule another appointment M: Okay. W: But you have 30% of non-essential fat. M: I see. W: Your muscle tissue is at 25%, which is below average. We’ll need to work on increasing that number. M: All right. W: Don’t worry. We can design a plan suitable for your body type. In my opinion, you should begin with cardio training. This workout includes running, jumping rope, and using a stair climber. M: Well, I’m not really a fan of any of those. W: Then how about trying one of our group classes, like indoor cycling? They’re fun, and you’d be working out with a group of people who have similar goals. M: Sounds interesting. I’ll give it a shot. W: Let me set up your schedule, then. What times of day are best for you? M: Situation B p. 90 Get Ready M: Hey, Jane. How are you? You seem a bit exhausted lately. W: Yeah, I’ve been trying to catch up with schoolwork. M: I recently joined an outdoor adventure club, and it’s been fantastic. The beautiful scenery and physical activity have done wonders for my mood and energy levels. W: Oh, really? I’ve never considered doing something like that before. M: You should give it a try. W: That sounds interesting. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks. Listen Up W: Hey, Jin. What are you planning to do this weekend? M: I don’t have any plans, Kate. Why do you ask? W: Well, I wanted to invite you to join the meditation club that I lead. We’ve been practicing meditation for two years now, and we’re looking for new members to join by September 5. M: Meditation? I’ve never tried that before. W: You should give it a try. We usually sit still and focus on our breathing for about 10 minutes. It’s really calming.
