| At the doctor´s appointment | |
| Doctor: | Hello, what can I do for you? |
| Mr Schlüter: | Hello. I haven’t been well for the past three days. I think I might have the flu. |
| Doctor: | Let me auscultate your lungs. Please take off your shirt and breathe in deeply! Where does it hurt? |
| Mr Schlüter: | Honestly, almost everywhere. I have a running nose, a severe headache, my chest hurts and I’m caughing all the time. |
| Doctor: | Is your nasal discharge purulent or rather watery? |
| Mr Schlüter: | Rather purulent. I can hardly breath through my nose. |
| Doctor: | You have the flu with a beginning bronchitis. I will give you an antibiotic that will help. Go home and take a rest, drink herbal cold tea and let your roommates spoil you. I will give you a sick note till Friday. Come back on Friday for a check-up. |
| Mr Schlüter: | Thank you. See you on Friday. |

| At the pharmacy | |
| Pharmacist: | Hello, can I help you? |
| Mr Schlüter: | I have a prescription. I would like to pick up the medicine. |
| Pharmacist: | Thank you. Please wait a moment. |
| Mr Schlüter: | Okay. |
| Pharmacist: | Here you are, take one tablet on an empty stomach right after you get up in the morning. On the package you will find the same information. Anything else? |
| Mr Schlüter: | I have the flu and I need an herbal cold tea. What can you recommend? |
| Pharmacist: | Here you are, I also drink this tea. It doesn’t taste very good, but it helps. And with these drops you can make a facial steam bath or you can apply them directly to your chest. That also helps. |
| Mr Schlüter: | Thank you, I will take both. How much is it?
A: That’s € 9.00. |
| Pharmacist: | Would you like a bag? |
| Mr Schlüter: | No, thanks, I don’t need one. |
