ABSTRACT
Greetings, Dr Naim. Greetings, Ryder sir, [we] meet again after several years (lit. this time [our] meeting happened after several years). After about five years. Please be seated. I was waiting for you (lit. I was doing only your wait). OK. First, tell [me], how you arefeeling (lit. how is [your] disposition?)? As regards my disposition, I am not feeling well;
otherwise I would not have bothered you so late at night. Why talk about trouble (lit. what is the talk of trouble?)? This is my duty. Well, how high is the fever? An hour ago when I took the temperature (lit. an hour ago when put the thermometer), it was one hundred and two degrees. Now it might be slightly higher. OK, again [let's] take [your] temperature (lit. again put the thermometer [in your mouth]). (Dr Naim takes John's pulse and temperature.) The fever has increased slightly; [do you] have diarrhoea too? Yes, [I] went to the bathroom about six or seven times in the past two hours. The last time you ate many samosas, [what about] this time? In the evening [I] ate some mangoes. Please take my advice. For about one or two months exercise some caution (lit. do some abstinence). No more samosas and mangoes (lit. samosas and mangoes closed). I [will] give you an injection and [have you] take this medicine. Two pills every two hours. Then tell me tomorrow morning how you feel. OK. Get some rest. Goodbye. Many many thanks, doctor. Goodbye.
