[1] I'm, I'm in before the doctor! [laugh] |
| (PS1W9) |
[2] [...] . [3] Aye. [4] Thought they'd lost you there. |
| (PS1WA) | [laugh] |
| (PS1W9) |
[5] Well now, what can I do for you tonight? |
| (PS1WA) |
[6] Er it's an insurance line doctor. [7] Just to keep me |
| (PS1W9) | [...] |
| (PS1WA) |
[8] right. [9] It's my thumb. [10] ... That's the excuse I've been giving, and |
| (PS1W9) |
[11] Mhm. |
| (PS1WA) |
[12] that's the one I'm sticking to. |
| (PS1W9) |
[13] [laugh] ... How're things doing? |
| (PS1WA) |
[14] Alex has not been too well the last couple of days, you know. |
| (PS1W9) |
[15] Yeah. |
| (PS1WA) |
[16] Doctor was in this morning. |
| (PS1W9) |
[17] Mm. |
| (PS1WA) |
[18] Er ... but I, as I say, there's nothing [...] that anybody can do really |
| (PS1W9) |
[19] No, it's |
| (PS1WA) |
[20] you know? |
| (PS1W9) |
[21] just a matter of time. |
| (PS1WA) |
[22] I meant to phone up this morning for an appointment for Doctor , but I forgot all about it. |
| (PS1W9) | [laugh] |
| (PS1WA) |
[23] I really did, of course she was ... the nurse came in, first it was ... the doctor, |
| (PS1W9) |
[24] Mhm. |
| (PS1WA) |
[25] then it was the priest, then it was another nurse, then the priest and she was getting a bit |
| (PS1W9) | [laugh] |
| (PS1WA) |
[26] agitated, everybody coming in to see everybody. |
| (PS1W9) |
[27] She'll be up the pole. |
| (PS1WA) |
[28] Aye. [29] Agitated, you know. [30] Oh, I wish they'd all bloody leave me alone. [31] [...] say something like that, oh no. |
| (PS1W9) |
[32] Och aye. [33] Och aye. [34] You must, I mean she |
| (PS1WA) |
[35] She's no more medicine left. |
| (PS1W9) |
[36] She's no medicine left? |
| (PS1WA) |
[37] No, not the stuff that you gave her anyway. |
| (PS1W9) |
[38] Right. [39] ... That's ... and she knows, she knows perfectly well what's ... what's happening. [40] I mean she's not stupid. [41] Och aye. |
| (PS1WA) |
[42] Do you really think so Doctor? |
| (PS1W9) |
[43] She's not stupid. [44] I mean she's lived long enough, she's seen it all. |
| (PS1WA) |
[45] Aye. [...] . |
| (PS1W9) |
[46] She's seen it all before. [47] And they, they get very very quickly suspicious when, you know, when the nurse is coming in and the priest's coming in and the |
| (PS1WA) | [...] |
| (PS1W9) |
[48] doctor's coming in. [49] They're not so daft. [50] We don't, we don't give them much credit |
| (PS1WA) |
[51] No, well. |
| (PS1W9) |
[52] but they're not ... they're not so stupid. |
| (PS1WA) |
[53] Well, as soon as the doctor mentioned hospital, she was awfully upset. |
| (PS1W9) |
[54] Who d who mentioned the hospital? |
| (PS1WA) |
[55] The doctor. |
| (PS1W9) |
[56] Did he? |
| (PS1WA) |
[57] Actually, she had mentioned it herself first. |
| (PS1W9) |
[58] Mhm. |
| (PS1WA) |
[59] She said, er er no, I think it was the doctor actually mentioned hospital. [60] I see you've been to the hospital, or something like that. [61] You know? |
| (PS1W9) |
[62] Mhm. |
| (PS1WA) |
[63] With the records. |
| (PS1W9) |
[64] Aye. |
| (PS1WA) |
[65] Oh, I'm not going back, I'm not going back there [...] . [66] After that she was awfully upset. [67] So I mean that day we had to tell a lot of lies, you know, like that. |
| (PS1W9) |
[68] Oh. |
| (PS1WA) |
[69] No, the doctor just meant that er y you were at the hospital, |
| (PS1W9) |
[70] That's right. |
| (PS1WA) |
[71] you've not to go back yet. [72] Oh, [...] just wait till it comes and see what happens. |
| (PS1W9) |
[73] Aye, just |
| (PS1WA) |
[74] The doctor said something about a tube in her to stop the, to stop what was it now, the doctor said there's a tube, they put a tube in her ... and they don't |
| (PS1W9) |
[75] Try and ease the swallowing? |
| (PS1WA) |
[76] Aye, it's something about the jaundice. |
| (PS1W9) |
[77] And it, it would ease the jaundice as well. |
| (PS1WA) |
[78] Aye. |
| (PS1W9) |
[79] It's ... it won't, it won't er |
| (PS1WA) |
[80] No, he says it's |
| (PS1W9) |
[81] it won't stay like that. |
| (PS1WA) |
[82] No. |
| (PS1W9) |
[83] It won't stay like that. [84] What, what they did was they took er ... on, on the inside, there's er ... there's the liver, in there er just at the end of the stomach. [85] And what they did was they put a tube from here into the next bit of the stomach, that comes round from underneath there, put a tube across there |
| (PS1WA) |
[86] Ah, right. |
| (PS1W9) |
[87] so they didn't have to go through this bit |
| (PS1WA) |
[88] Aha. |
| (PS1W9) |
[89] because that bit's all ... full |
| (PS1WA) |
[90] Right, right. |
| (PS1W9) |
[91] you know? [92] So they put a tube across there. [93] So the stuff coming down, goes through there and then it goes into the rest of the tubes, and away through. [94] ... But that will last for ... a certain length of time, |
| (PS1WA) |
[95] Aha. |
| (PS1W9) |
[96] until this grows ... down past that bit. [97] Or up over the top of that bit. |
| (PS1WA) |
[98] Ah, I see. |
| (PS1W9) |
[99] Or it pushes the tube out of shape. |
| (PS1WA) |
[100] Aha. [101] Aha. |
| (PS1W9) |
[102] Sometimes bends the tube round about. |
| (PS1WA) |
[103] Aye. |
| (PS1W9) |
[104] But ... I mean it might take another two weeks, it might take another two months. [105] You can never tell. [106] But |
| (PS1WA) |
[107] Aye. [108] Right. [109] Aha. [110] Aha. |
| (PS1W9) |
[111] I mean she'll just gradually, because this bit between here and the stomach is the bit that most of the food gets digested in, |
| (PS1WA) |
[112] Aye. |
| (PS1W9) |
[113] she'll not have much of an appetite, because that bit's not working properly, and it's not getting a chance to go through her |
