Jill: When do we have to do this?
Dr. Fields: I can work you in on Friday.
Jill: Friday? That's too soon.
Tim: If you need surgery, there's no reason to wait, honey.
Jill: I have to finish my thesis. Can't we do this, like, a week after next?
Dr. Fields: No. Unfortunately, I'm leaving on Saturday for three weeks. I don't think it's a good idea for you to wait that long.
Jill: Well, I guess I could just try to finish my thesis by Friday, and whatever I don't finish, I'll just do while I'm recovering.
Dr. Fields: Good. Then I'll schedule you. You have any questions?
Jill: How long do I have to be in the hospital?
Dr. Fields: About three days.
