B:  Sure.  Is it OK if my friend comes along?  My English isn't so good.
Nurse:  I suppose that'll be all right.  First, let me take your temperature.  Here, slip this under your tongue.
B:  Excuse me?
Nurse:  The thermometer.  Put it under your tongue.
B:  Really?
A:  In Japan we put it under our arm.
Nurse:  Is that right?  That's interesting.  Well, just keep the tip under your tongue, and hold it there.  I'll check on you in a few minutes.  (The nurse leaves.)
A:  You look very funny!
B:  mmmm.  mmmm.
A:  What?
B:  mmmm.  mmmm.
Nurse:  Ok., let's see.  A hundred and one.  Well, you do have a slight fever.  Let's check your blood pressure.  Hold out your right arm for me.  You'll feel a little bit of pressure.  OK.  138 over 88.  Are you allergic to any medications?
B:  Excuse me?
Nurse:  Allergies.  Do you have a problem taking medicine?
B:  Oh.  No.  No problem.
Nurse:  OK.  Are you taking any medicine now?
B:  No.
Nurse:  OK.  That's all for now.  The doctor will be right with you.
Doctor:  Hi.  I'm Doctor Smith.  What seems to be the problem?
