Louisa(L) Hi, Martin! What’s wrong? You look awful.

Martin (M) Oh, I’ve had that horrible flu. It lasted for ages.

L Didn’t you go to the doctor?

M No, I did. I went last week, but my doctor doesn’t know nothing. I asked for that new flu drug – what’s’ it called?

L Do you mean Relenza?

M That’s it. I asked, but he wouldn’t give me none.

L Why?

M He said that the tests haven’t hardly proved that it works. He didn’t refuse me not only to give me Relenza, but also he wouldn’t’ give me none other medicine. I think it’s because the surgery is over-budget and he doesn’t want to spend any more money!

L If that’s the case, it’s really unhonest! Have you thought about complaining?

M No, what’s the use? Complaints about doctors rarely have an effect. Anyway, I suppose there is not much you can do about a virus. He said I should drink plenty of fluids and he didn’t tell me to go out until I felt better.

L How are you feeling now?

M Not too bad, but I can’t taste hardly anything. Well, I think that’s an effect of the flu and not a problem with my taste buds!

L Oh, I don’t hope it is. It would be awful not to taste things.

M I’ve still got a few chest problems, too. I suppose O should stop smoking.

L What! Have you stopped smoking through this flu, then? You are crazy, Martin!

M I know. I guess, I’ll never be a no-smoker.

L Perhaps not. Anyway, it lasts a ling time, this flu. Not many people don’t appreciate that. You think it’s gone and toy try to get back to normal, then it hits you again.

M Yes, you are right.

L Look, I must be going. I don’t hope it lasts much longer. Bye!
