doctor: come in, please.

patient: thank you. doctor, i decided to make an appointment because yesterday i had a splitting headache and rash all over my body after taking pills for stomach pain.

doctor: did i write out a prescription for taking the pills?

patient: yes, here it is.

doctor: these pills are very strong. they can trigger such symptoms as dizziness, nausea and even rash. let me check you. i’ll measure your blood pressure but firstly put a thermometer into your armpit.

(after a while)

doctor: your temperature is in the normal range but your blood pressure is very low. did you read the medicine label before taking those pills?

patient: no, i thought your prescription and recommendations were enough to take them correctly.

doctor: what dose did you take at once?

patient: i took two pills.

doctor: so everything should have been all right then. you told me you had no allergies. what’s wrong then?

patient: just a few days ago i was sneezing all day long but i went on taking the pills.

doctor: as far as these pills are concerned, they mustn’t be taken if you have any allergies. so taking them caused terrible side effects.
