--- Lesson 39 Am I all right? |
| [00:07.920] |
--- First listen and then answer the question. |
| [00:14.360] |
--- Why did Mr.Gilbert telephone Dr.Millington? |
| [00:21.680] |
While John Gilbert was in hospital, he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful, |
| [00:32.240] |
but the doctor refused to do so. |
| [00:36.880] |
The following day, the patient asked for a bedside telephone. |
| [00:43.400] |
When he was alone, he telephoned the hospital exchange and asked for Doctor Millington. |
| [00:52.480] |
When the doctor answered the phone, Mr.Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient, a Mr.John Gilbert. |
| [01:03.760] |
He asked if Mr.Gilbert's operation had been successful and the doctor told him that it had been. |
| [01:11.920] |
He then asked when Mr.Gilbert would be allowed to go home |
| [01:16.880] |
and the doctor told him that he would have to stay in hospital for another two weeks. |
| [01:23.840] |
Then Dr.Millington asked the caller if he was a relative of the patient. |
| [01:30.160] |
'No,' the patient answered, 'I am Mr.John Gilbert.'^“ |
