Conversation 8 (Listen and Read)

Hello, this is Tom Barron.

I have an appointment with Dr. Coleman at 4 PM tomorrow,

but my head has been pounding since yesterday.

Could you schedule me for this afternoon instead?

I'm sorry, but Dr. Coleman is out of town for personal reasons.

The earliest we can schedule you is 8 AM tomorrow.

I don't think I can wait until tomorrow.

That's why I called in the first place.

If you don't mind, Dr. Roberto is available.

He's our on-call doctor and can see patients.

There's an opening at 2 PM today.

Would you like to see him?
