In hospital, a doctor always gives you a note to get the medicine from the chemist(药剂师). (56) but sometimes doctors write so badly that the chemist can't understand them.
My mother wrote to a doctor to invite him to have dinner at our home last week. The doctor wrote an answer, (57) "What shall I do?"She said to my father, "(58) I don't want to give him a telephone call and say I can't read his writing." My father thought for a moment and then he had an idea. (59) .
She went to the chemist's shop and gave the doctor's note to the chemist. (60) Then he said politely, "Could you please wait for a few minutes, madam?" He went to the back of the shop. After 2minutes he returned, carrying a large bottle. He gave the bottle to my mother and said,
"Three times a day and one teaspoon at a time."
