Doctor: "Aye, normal."

Doctor: "Nae, nae bluid."
Sandy: "Nae albumin?"
Doctor: "Nae, protein negative."
Sandy: "pH balance aricht?"
Doctor: "Aye, you're as healthy as a horse."
Sandy: "Can I use yer telephone?"
Doctor: "Aye, drop saxpence in t'box on t'counter."
Sandy: "Hullo, Mary? Guid news! I'm purrr-fectly healthy. And so are ye. And so is Esmerelda. And so is uncle Jock..."
