A DIALOGUE BETWEEN A DOCTOR AND A PATIENT CONVERSATION
Dialogue between Sumaiya and the Doctor:
Sumaiya: Good evening, doctor. Can I have a moment to discuss my health concerns?
Doctor: Certainly, please have a seat.
Sumaiya: I've been experiencing a fever for the past week.
Doctor: Can you tell me about the symptoms and when you usually feel the fever?
Sumaiya: The fever tends to come on around 5 to 6 pm, and I often experience shivering at that time. I also feel quite thirsty and crave cold water.
Doctor: When does the fever subside?
Sumaiya: It usually gets better late at night.
Doctor: Have you taken any treatment for it so far?
Sumaiya: Yes, I sought treatment from a village quack.
Doctor: Could you show me the prescription they gave you?
Sumaiya: Here it is, doctor.
Doctor: I see, it appears they prescribed the wrong medicine. You actually have malaria, but they gave you typhoid medication. I'll provide you with the correct prescription.
Sumaiya: Thank you for pointing that out, doctor.
Doctor: You're welcome, Sumaiya. I'll prescribe the appropriate medication for your malaria. Along with that, I advise you to get some exercise regularly, maintain a balanced diet, and ensure you get enough rest and sleep.
Sumaiya: I'll make sure to follow your advice, doctor.
Doctor: That's good to hear. If you have any further concerns, don't hesitate to reach out.
Sumaiya: Thank you, doctor.
Doctor: You're welcome, Sumaiya. Take care and get well soon.
