Writer's Journal #13

Recently I got surgery down and, in this surgery, I had my wisdom teeth removed. In the instructions they sent home it said that I would be in pain for the nest four days. It’s been two weeks now and I am in a lot of pain, it feels like I had just gotten the surgery. So, I emailed

the dentist that had done my surgery in this email I needed to make sure I knew who I was addressing. I knew that it wasn’t going straight to the dentist but to one of his nurses so, I made sure I was writing to the nurse. In this email I had to be very specific on what was going on that way when she told the dentist he or she had the exact issues that were happening. I needed to make sure I told them the medication they prescribed me and what the hospital had prescribed me.

I needed when it had started, what the pain level was, and I needed to be very descriptive. I know that the dentists and nurse are probably very busy, so I had to make sure I am understanding and kind in my email. so, I added a thank you and have a nice day at the end to make sure they know I appreciate all that they do. Although I needed to be understanding kind, I needed to make sure they knew that I was in a lot of pain and that this was urgent matter. After I sent this email it took them one day to call me back, they did have questions. The questions were what day could come in and what time and just few other questions about what I had emailed them about.

The audience addressed to me would have been the dentist who is who I was trying to get the message to but really the nurse was the audience invoked the person I was imaging talking to. If I was stalking to the doctor, I would have had to be more specific to them because a nurse just must basically schedule my appointment. The reason for this is because the nurses will tell the doctor, so I was thinking about that the whole time.
