Your friend Anna’s husband Jose has not been feeling well forthe past 10 days. He has congestion in his lungs and has been verytired. She talked him into going to the doctor a week ago when hisfever was 101.3. The doctor gave him some oral antibiotics, whichhe took faithfully until it was gone. But she still thinks he stilllooks sick.
Anna, Jose and there 3-year-old daughter have justmoved to Ohio from Arizona. Jose is a park ranger and loves hisjob, even when it is checking on the local bat populations innearby caves (bats creep him out). However, for the past three dayshe has felt too sick to work. His respiratory symptoms have notimproved. Anna makes an appointment for him with her doctor.
