Doctor: Good morning. What seems to be the problem?

Patient: I've been feeling [fi:lɪŋ] tired for weeks. I've also been having headaches almost every day.

D: Have you been sleeping well?

P: No, I haven't been sleeping well at all. I've been waking up several times every night.

D: How long has this been going on?

P: It started about a month ago. I've been working a lot. I've been doing twelve-hour days at the office.

D: Have you been eating well?

P: Not really. I've been eating a lot of fast food because I haven't had time to cook.

D: I think you need to rest more and eat better. I've seen many patients with similar problems. I'll give you a prescription for the headaches.
