Doctor: Good morning. It’s Miss Andrews, isn’t it? 1)............
Patient: Well, I’ve had a headache and a sore throat for a few days and now I’ve got this strange rash with itchy spots.
Doctor: Hmm. 2)...................
Patient: Yes, I think I’ve got a slight one.
Doctor: OK, let’s have a look at the rash. Ah ... just as I thought! 3).........
Patient: Chickenpox! Well... errr... no, actually. 4).....................
Doctor: I’m afraid so. It’s highly contagious, so you should stay away from others for about another week.
Patient: OK. 5)...................
Doctor: I’m afraid not, but I can give you a prescription for some ointment to help the itching. Put it on three times a day for five days. You should make a full recovery within a fortnight.
Patient: OK, thank you, doctor. 6).............
Doctor: Only if you are worried for any reason. Here’s your prescription. I hope you feel better soon!
