 I was feeling a little under the weather the other day, so I decided 1 to visit my doctor before things got worse. I called her in the morning, and I made an appointment for 9:30 a.m. When I arrived at her office, I had to fill out some insurance paperwork and a sheet describing my current medical condition, along with the symptoms I was feeling. After a few minutes, the nurse called my name and took me back to one of their examination rooms. She took my vital signs including my temperature and blood pressure, and then I waited until the doctor came in. After looking me over and asking a few questions, the doctor's diagnosis 2 was that I had a bacterial 3 infection. She wrote me out a prescription 4 for some medication, which I was supposed to take two times a day. After the exam, I went back to the reception area and paid the bill.
