Dialogue: (對話)
(The checking has been done in advance)
Patient: | Good afternoon. Doctor. |
Doctor: | Good afternoon. Have a seat. Let me check your record. You have a moderate fever. Your blood pressure is fine. So what brings you here today? |
Patient: | I don’t feel good, Doctor. (Coughing) |
Doctor: | Have you done the Rapid Test for COVID-19? |
Patient: | Yes, at home, but it’s negative. Yesterday my co-worker had a high fever and he had been coughing quite badly. I worry that I have contracted the virus from him. |
Doctor: | I see. I understand your concern. Having a fever and cough doesn’t necessarily mean that someone has contracted the virus. These symptoms are of common cold too. |
Patient: | I understand, but I am quite worried because I live with my children. |
Doctor: | I see. To put your worries to test, I will prescribe some medicine for you and please do the test again tomorrow, and if the test results are positive, make sure you are isolated. |
Patient: | Okay. I will. |
Doctor: | If you feel really bad, you can schedule a virtual appointment and see me through Remote Telemedicine Consultation System. |
Patient: | That’s convenient. |
Doctor: | Do you have any other questions? |
Patient: | No. Doctor. Thank you. |
