Doctor, what’s wrong with my mom?
She’s got the flu. I want you to monitor her temperature.
How often should I check it?
Once every four hours.
What about the diet?
Regular food, but avoid heavy foods and include soups.
Okay. Is there anything else I need to take care of?
Yes. I wanna have a look at her again after three days, so make sure you visit me.


We’re going to do the operation tomorrow. I can see you look worried. But don’t be!
I am trying not to…Is it gonna hurt?
You’ll be under anesthesia. You won’t feel a thing.
That’s a relief.
You’ll need to sign a consent form before we can begin the procedure.
No problems. I’ll sign it.
You got a family member here?
Yeah, my brother’s here. He must be around.


How did you get hurt?
I tripped on the stairs and banged my head.
That sounds ugly. Did you lose consciousness?
I’m not sure. I think I was out for just a few seconds.
Okay, well that’s not good. We’ve gotta put you under observation.
But I feel better now.
Sure you do, but it’s a concussion and you lost consciousness. It doesn’t hurt to monitor you for a few hours just to make sure you’re fine.
Okay, doc.


I feel so weak doctor.
What happened?
My head is swimming. I feel dizzy.
Did you get hurt? Are you ill?
I don’t know. I was at the beach, sunbathing all day, and now I feel so dizzy.
Oh no! It seems you’ve got a sunstroke. We’ll need to admit.
What’re you gonna do?
Nothing major, just going to give you a saline drip, and some medicine.
Okay. Thanks.
