    Dear corpora list,

    I teach English to Japanese medical students at the University of
    Hokkaido, Sapporo, Japan, and I am currently researching conversation
    patterns in Japanese and English Dr-Patient consultations. I am now
    in the process of collecting my own Japanese language data, and I am
    trying to track down English language data that is already publicly
    available.

    I wonder if you might know of any corpora that include transcriptions
    of Dr-patient consultations in (spoken) English, that I could use in
    my research. If you do, I would be very grateful if you could pass
    them on. I have already been in touch with the British National
    Corpus, whose corpus contains some Dr-PatientÝconsultationsÅAbut I
    have been unable to track down any other sources so far.

    Thank you for your time in reading this query. I hope to hear from you soon.

    Best wishes,

    Mark Holst
