You don't look too well. Maybe you should take the day off from work.
I couldn't do that. I have an important meeting to go to today.
Do you feel ok?
Not really. After a 12 - hour flight, I've got jetlag, and on top of that, I think I've also got the flu.
Why don't you call your secretary and tell her to reschedule the meeting? You should really get some rest or you'll end up feeling even worse than you do now.
Could you feel my forehead and check to see if I have a fever?
You're really hot. Let me get you some Tylenol to bring the fever down.
Ok. I'll stay home this morning and rest, but if I feel better in the afternoon, I'm going to the meeting.
Zach, what's that on your arm?
I don't know. It looks a bit red, but I'm sure it's nothing.
It looks like you have a red rash all over you! Are you allergic to anything?
Just cats, but I don't think I was near any cats in the last couple of weeks.
I completely forgot about your cat allergy. I took care of a cat for my friend here a few days ago. Oh no. we'd better go to the doctor and get some medicine. Let's go.
Shouldn't we make an appointment first?
We would, but let's just go and see if there's an opening now before it gets worse.
Whatever you say. I just want to get to my meeting!
