AT
THE DOCTOR
Part
I
Mr.
Worsley.- What has
been wrong with you lately ?
You do nothing but cough and sneeze and complain of fatigue. You are not your usual bright self.
Mr. Alliston.- I don’t quite know what the cause is, but ever since my arrival in this district two weeks ago, I have been feeling out of sorts.
Mr. Worsley.- Well, it is no good letting this state of affairs drag on indefinitely. You ought to see a doctor right away.
Mr. Alliston.- Do you know a good doctor ?
Mr. Worsley.- I most certainly do ; in fact he is a friend of mine now. I first met him, as patient, as about a year ago and found out that we wear both dabblers in art : I mean we are both Sunday painters.
Mr. Alliston.- Is he as good at medicine as you are at painting ?
Mr. Worsley.- Now stop pulling my leg or I’II not tell you his name. Actually, he is getting quite famous in this district as an infallible diagnostician.
Mr. Alliston.- Is he a specialist ?
Mr. Worsley.- No, just an ordinary G.P. (general practitioner), but a man who loves his work. His father was well known as a chemist in these parts, and the son, Dr. Tester – I nearly forgot to tell you his name – has an almost uncanny skill with drugs and the making out of prescriptions. But the secret of this success, as I have said, is sound diagnosis ; he gives much time and patience to the first consultation, and even for subsequent visits, he rarely spends less than twenty minutes.
Mr. Alliston.- He seems to be a refreshing sort of exception to the general rule.
Mr. Worsley.- He is. Furthermore, he has not the gloomy bedside manner which arouses – at least it does in me – the worst suspicions and apprehensions ; on the contrary, he is always exceedingly cheerful and sympathetic.
Mr. Alliston.- When and where can I see him ?
Mr. Worsley.- He begins his consultations in about half an hour. I’II take you there.

The consultation
Mr. Alliston. Is sitting in the
crowded waiting-room at Dr. Tester’s. Remembering his friend’s remarks, he
examines with curiosity the water-colours and engravings on the wall.
Eventually, it is Mr. Alliston.’s turn ; the communicating door opens and Dr.
Tester, a fresh-complexioned young man with smiling eyes and prematurely-white
hair, calls out : “ Next , pleas. “
Dr.Terster.- (closing the door) You must be a newcomer here. I have never seen you before.
Mr. Alliston.- That is correct. My name is Alliston, and I have come to see you on the recommendation of my friend Mr. Worsley.
Dr. tester.- Worsley ! ah, he is a great friend of mine too. We both paint, or think we do ; but he favours water-colour, and I prever working in oils. However, I must not go rambling on about my pet hobby. What is your trouble ?
Mr. Alliston.- I have been felling run down and a little feverish for several weeks now. My appetite has gone, I am depressed and sleep badly.
Dr. Tester.- It sounds remarkably like a case of common or garden flu. However, we shall see. Please slip off your upper clothing and your shoes. (He weighs the patient). How old are you ? …. Good. Well, your weight is what it ought to be ; no danger of middle-age spread just yet ! Now, please lie down on this couch and I’II take your blood pressure and test the reflexes.
Mr. Allison.- Lately, I have had some difficulty in breathing at night.
Dr. Tester.- Ah, well, we shall attend to that in a jiffy. Your blood pressure is a little low. Now, sit up please and I’II examine the heart and lungs. (He takes out his stethoscope). The heart is in excellent condition but you have slight bronchial congestion. Now, let me look at the throat, please ; nothing serious. Show me your hands ; good ; I, but don’t tell anybody ! (He write down the findings of his examination on a card for further reference).
Mr. Alliston.- Anything serious ?
Dr. Tester.- Nothing to worry about. I am afraid your kind of mild flu would not bring me much in the way of fess ! All you need is a little rest, lets as say for a week, and I shall make out a prescription for a little pick-me-up in the form of injections. You must also have something to disinfect the throat. Have you ever had any serious illnesses ?
Mr. Alliston.- Nothing beyond the usual childish ailments : measles, chicken-pox, whooping-cough, and I think that’s all.
Dr. Tester.- Splendid ! (He continues to write) And your parents ?
Mr. Alloston.- Both alive and in excellent health.
Dr. Tester.- Grand ! Well, Mr. Alliston, I need not detain you any longer. Here is your prescription.
Mr. Alliston.- Shall I came back at the end of the week ?
Dr. Tester.- Only if you feel you must. I am overwhelmed with work with this present epidemic of flu. In any case, please give my very kind regards to Mr. Worsley. You might tell him that I have just discovered a charming little rustic bridge and mill-house near Woodville, both of them positively begging to be painted by somebody.
Mr. Alliston.- I’II certainly tell him. Good bye, and thank very much .
Dr. Tester.- Well, perhaps we shall meet again one of these days out of consulting hours, when Worsley has got his paint box out of the cupboard.
