[00:01.120]--- Lesson 39 Am I all right?
[00:07.920]--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:14.360]--- Why did Mr.Gilbert telephone Dr.Millington?
[00:21.680]While John Gilbert was in hospital, he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful,
[00:32.240]but the doctor refused to do so.
[00:36.880]The following day, the patient asked for a bedside telephone.
[00:43.400]When he was alone, he telephoned the hospital exchange and asked for Doctor Millington.
[00:52.480]When the doctor answered the phone, Mr.Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient, a Mr.John Gilbert.
[01:03.760]He asked if Mr.Gilbert's operation had been successful and the doctor told him that it had been.
[01:11.920]He then asked when Mr.Gilbert would be allowed to go home
[01:16.880]and the doctor told him that he would have to stay in hospital for another two weeks.
[01:23.840]Then Dr.Millington asked the caller if he was a relative of the patient.
[01:30.160]'No,' the patient answered, 'I am Mr.John Gilbert.'^“
