JAMES: Yes, I did. I fell on my right side. Then my arm and shoulder started to hurt. They're still sore now.
DOCTOR: Tell me about the pain. When does it hurt?
JAMES: Hmmm. Well, not all of the time. It just hurts when I move my arm.
DOCTOR: Well, it's not broken. I think you have a bad sprain. I can give you some medicine for the pain. Make an appointment to see me again in a few days.
JAMES: OK. Thank you. I think I'll take it easy until then.
