Doctor Patient
What brought you here? (first line) I had fever two days ago, It came with a headache.. Hmm... (hesitates and slowly speaks) I took some tyrenols and felt better. Headache was gone and fever came down.

Alright, please continue? (And then…) (second line) But here's the thing. I vomited once yesterday. I was terrified if it was meningitis. One of my friend was admitted with it recently, and what I am going through look exactly like it.

Is there anything else that is bothering you? (third line) I have runny nose and stuffy nose.

Oh I see. Anything else you would like to add? No, that is it.

Please tell me more about your runny nose. It came along with the headache and fever. All other symptoms faded yet this still persists.
