(AC-S16) Week 16 - Task: Assignment - Seeing The Doctor
(B): Good morning, Hector and Ederson, how can I help you?
(E): I have nausea and vomiting, my stomach hurts a lot and I have a swollen stomach.
(H): I have always had these pains, but lately my head and neck hurt a lot.
(J): From what I understand, you are studying at the university and you have virtual classes.
(H): Some days I have 5 hours and some days I have 7 hours of classes. I usually stay a few
hours longer because I have homework and other activities to do.
(E): 10 hours of class and when there are practices I stay longer than usual.
(J): Muscle pains in the neck, head and muscle contractures are very common in college
students.
(J): They are caused by incorrect postures when sitting at the computer. I'm glad you came, if
these pains are not treated in time, they can aggravate your health and this can reflect on your
academic performance.
(J): You need to do stretching and muscle relaxation exercises during your study day breaks. I
am going to give you some pills for headaches. You need to take care of your diet to improve
your academic performance.
(J): And for you Ederson, probably because you spend a lot of time sitting at the university it is
very likely that you will have stomach problems, since after lunch it is always good to walk
30m, drink plenty of water and you have to exercise as well as Hector.
(J): I will prescribe syrup for stomach pain and in case you see that your stomach is still swollen
you will take a laxative.
(H): Ok Doctor Max. Thank you very much. Have a good day.
