[Alex's perspective]
The doctor approached me and asked softly.
"How do you feel?
Is it better now? . "
Well Then I will check it for you. If it hurts, talk."
"Doctor ... I ..." I replied in a hoarse voice.
"I know you have difficulty speaking. You just have to make some other sounds, and I will understand."
I nodded, indicating that I already knew.
The Doctor conducted the following procedures to me
He took out his stethoscope and listened to my breathing. After a moment, he changed where he placed it and listened again.
Then, he reached out and pressed my stomach.
"This…….. does it hurt? ”
"It hurts."
"here? ”
He stretched out his hand and pressed it around but not directly on my stomach.
"It doesn't hurt."
"It doesn't hurt here? ”
"Yes, it doesn't hurt."
"Ok, I see."
"Family members at the door we may come in now."
Charlie pushed the door open and came in.
"How is he Doctor? "
