Boris: Hi, everybody! I am Dr Boris Lulin. How are you? OK? Perfect! How are you, dear? And you? Wow, you are all OK!!! Wonderful! All - happy and smiling! But this boy here looks a bit upset. What’s the matter, dear? You’ve got stomach ache? Come with me and I will give you a pill. You will be fine, don’t worry. Here you are: a little white pill-take it with some water.
(There is a knock on the door)

Now what seems to be the problem?

A: Let me see. Oh, yes! How long have you had the rash?

A: Are you taking anything for it?
B: I put some cream on it but it doesn’t seem to be helping.
A: I see. Are you allergic to any medications?
B: Not that I know of.
A: I’m going to give you a prescription for this ointment. I want you to apply it three times a day.
You should also avoid scratching your skin. And it’s important to use as little soap as possible. Come again next week if it doesn’t get better over the next few days.
Again a knock on the door.

(Atanaska coughs and sneeses)
A:Let me see, dear. Don’t worry, just open your mouth, please. Yes, you have a sore throat. I am afraid, she’s got a flue, Mrs Avramova.
C: I guess! Can I help you, doctor? Because I have to go back to my class. I’ll call Atanaska’s father to come and take her home. OK, Atanaska, you stay here and listen carefully to the doctor’s advice, please!
D:I will, Mrs Avramova. Will I do the test on Friday?
C: Of course not, dear! Stay calm and take care. You can do the test next week.
Good bye!
A:Good bye, Mrs Avramova!
D:Good bye, Mrs!
A:Well, dear, you have to stay in bed the next three days, take the pills with some water or tea and relax.
D: May I watch TV, doctor?
A: I’m afraid, you may not. No TV, no internet, no books the first two days. You must relax, drink hot tea, take the pills and I hope in two days you’ll feel better.
Now, while waiting for Atanaska’s father to come I’d like to ask you a few questions
