第 18 课：Medical Terms: Doctors Give Me a Clean Bill-2
The doctor also asked when I had my last physical . I do not get yearly check-ups . But I probably should get a medical exam by a doctor every year.
Then the nurse drew my blood . She used a needle to take a small amount of blood from my arm. She sent it to a laboratory for tests.
The nurse also took my temperature . She used a thermometer to measure my body temperature.
The doctor told me I had influenza, or the flu. But she told me I would recover soon.
She said I was over the worst of the disease. She told me to rest at home and to stay away from other people because the flu can spread. It is contagious .
Thankfully, I did not have to go under the knife. I did not need an operation. Instead, I did just what the doctor ordered .
I went home and did exactly what was needed to become healthy again.
Soon, I was on the mend. I was pulling through and recovering from my sickness.
Now, I am back on my feet. I am physically healthy again. Even better, the doctor has given me a clean bill of health.
She says that I am one-hundred percent cured. I am back to normal and I feel great.
In fact, I feel on top of the world . My friends say I now look like the picture of health.
