N OK.Let me have a look at it.Yes,that looks nasty.So how did it happen?

P Well,it's stupid really.I was trying to fix the light in my office.

N But that's a job for mantenance.

P I know.But I told them about it days ago and nothing happened.So I thought I'd try.

N Well, you really must be careful.There are very strict guidelines here about that kind of thing.And if you have an accident,the company dosen't have to accept responsibility,you konw?

P I know.But the light kept going on and off all day.It was driving me crazy.

N So what happened?Did you fall?

P Well,I couldn't reach the light.So I climbed onto my desk,and then I lost my balance and fell.

N And you banged your head?

P Ouch!Yes.I caught it on the edge of a filing cabinet.

N Do you feel sick or dizzy?

P No,but it really is hurting a lot now. Will I need any stitches,do you think?

N No,no,it's quite a small cut really,I'll just clean and dress it.We needn't borher stitches.But it is a nasty bumb,though.Are you taking any medication at the moment?

P No.

N Right.Here are some painkillers.Take two of these three times a day for the next two or three days.But you mustn't drink alcohol while you are taking them.

P OK.

N And pop in tomorrow some time and I'll have another look at it.

P Thanks.See you tomorrow.
