{
"speaker": "DOCTOR",

{
"speaker": "DOCTOR",
"text": "Uh,"
},
{
"speaker": "DOCTOR",
"text": "I think, I think, it's, it's, it's definitely worth treating your symptoms. But what we should also think about is maybe doing a couple of other tests, like a blood test, and maybe an echocardiogram of your heart, to see how well your heart's pumping."
},
{
"speaker": "PATIENT",
"text": "OK."
},
{
"speaker": "DOCTOR",

{
"speaker": "DOCTOR",
"text": "Um, and we can definitely increase your um, your Furosemide, uh, to you know, one tablet twice a day."

"speaker": "DOCTOR",
"text": "But I really like, would like you to come back and see me in about a week's time, see how you're getting on. That sound reasonable?"
},
{
"speaker": "PATIENT",
"text": "I think that sounds like a good plan."
},
{
"speaker": "DOCTOR",
"text": "And of course, in the meantime if you are getting more unwell, feel like you're getting more breathless, or you're having any other symptoms like chest pain, or palpitations or dizziness, then, uh, you know I want you to give me a call sooner than that, and we can have a chat on the phone as well."
