- Good morning
- Hello, Doctor
- What is the trouble with you?
- I've caught a bad cold
- How long are you feeling this way?
- I've been ill since Monday
- And you are coughing a lot, aren't you?
- Yes
- Have you taken your temperature?
- Yes, I'd taken my temperature before I left home. It was normal
- Have you a headache or a sore throat?
- I have both
- Have you taken anything for your headache?
- I took aspirin
- Well, I'll examine you. It is not an ordinary cold. You have flu. I'll give you two prescriptions which you must take to the chemist's. If you follow my instructions you will feel better in a few days. If you don't feel better, you will have to call for me
- Thank you, doctor
