Dr: Hello Mr. Brown. Hello, Mrs. Brown. I'm Dr. Riendl, it's very good to meet you. What problem brought you here today?
Int: Really, I’ve been out of breath. I’ve noticed I’ve been doing a lot more sweating. I try to get to the bus and I can’t. I’m just so tired and my wife is extremely worried about me and has been nagging me to get in to see you. She’s very concerned about my health.
Dr: How long have you had this problem?
Int: Um, two, there weeks ago I started noticing that it was harder to breathe, that I started sweating, and that’s when she, uh, kept saying come on in for the appointment. So here I am.
Dr: Okay, you mentioned shortness of breath trying to catch the bus in the morning. Are you short of breath walking on the level?
Int: Yeah. Dr: (Overlap) About how far? Int: Probably, two, three blocks.
Dr: Okay. What about stairs? Is that difficult for you?
Int: Oh yes. I feel like I’m holding on to the railing as I’m going up. And I’m going slowly.
Dr: Okay. What’s your occupation?
Int: I work at Honeywell, and I’m a janitor.
Dr: Are there any activities that you have difficulty with at work?
Int: What’s hard is the mopping that I have to do. I notice that I get short of breath when I’m mopping, and I try to take breaks. But maybe, I’m just overweight. I don’t know.
