Lesson 27
A TOUCH OF THE FLUE
I. NOTE
In most American cities, you can find quick medical care at what are called
“walk-in” medical clinics. If you are sick and don't have a doctor, such clinics can
provide prompt and relatively inexpensive treatment for minor illnesses.
Temperature in the U.S. is on the Fahrenheit rather than the Centigrade scale.
98.6 is considered a normal temperature.
There is no national health insurance plan in America. Most Americans are in-
sured through their employers. Unusually, employees pay monthly premiums in addi-
tion to the premiums their employers pay.
II. DIALOGUE
Nurse: What seems to be the trouble?
You: I feel terrible. I have a fever and chills.
Nurse: What’s your tem
p
erature?
You: 102.
Nurse: Have you taken anything for it?
You: Just some aspirin. What should I do?
Nurse: I think you better see one of our doctors. You probably have an infection.
Can you come right now?
You: Yes, I’m on my way. I don’t have any medical insurance. Is that all right?
Nurse: Don’t worry. Our business office takes cash, personal checks or credit
cards.
