Hi

Those are interesting

1. Could you turn onto your left side please?

2. (Yes, that's OK)

3. (And this is OK)

4. I don't think a doctor would say this because many people - including me - don't know or can't remember the difference between prone and supine, so: please could you lie face down now.

Hope this helps, Dave
