It sounds like you are coming down with the flu. Let me take your temperature.
B:
Have I got a high fever?
A:
Yes, thirty-eight point seven. Do you have a headache, chest or throat pain?
B:
Yes, I have.
A:
Now, let me have a look at you. I’d like to listen to your chest. Now breathe in, a deep breath, that’s it. Cough, now again. I want to examine your throut, too. Open wide, say “ah--”.
B:
Aaaaahh, aaaaahh.
A:
Yes, it does look a bit sore. Let’s take an X-ray of your chest and give you a few tests.
B:
All right, thanks.
A:
The tests showed nothing wrong. A slight viral infection.
B:
What shall I do today?
A:
I’m giving you some antibiotics and aspirins. Take an aspirin when you’ve got a fever, and take one antibiotics capsule every four hours, and go home and rest in bed for two days. Drink plenty of water, then you’ll feel better. Here’s the prescription.
