V: Hi! How are you today. |
C: Oh, OK, I guess. I'm here waiting for my turn to visit a friend who is in the hospital and saw your sign. |
|
V: Glad you came in. Can I help you find something? |
C: Well, I don't know. It's just that I keep waking up with pain on one side of my face, and I thought you might have something in here that would tell what causes that. |
|
V: Oh really? Where is the pain? |
C: Around my ear and it hurts worse when I open my mouth. | |
|
V: I thought so. I get that sometimes. I read somewhere, maybe in the newspaper, that it has something to do with your jaw joint and that it can be caused by stress. I know mine is! |
C: Well, I guess that could be so. |
|
V: Usually I just take some Tylenol and it goes away. Are you having problems with stress? My favorite way to relax is to do yoga. We have a great book on using yoga to help with stress. Would you like to see it? |
C: Huh, no I don't think so. I'd best go see my friend now. |
|
V: (to herself): Gosh, these folks never want to follow my suggestions. | |
