The nurse said in a peppy voice and closed the large door behind her. A few moments after, a tall doctor in a white coat entered the room. He listened through his stethoscope and checked her ears, eyes, and took her temperature. He look note of each result in silence. After a long pause he said," It just looks like the flu. Nothing to be concerned about." "Shouldn't we just take blood to make sure? " Tana said in a confused voice. "No need" the doctor said in a flat voice. " Come back in a week of it continues to get worse." And with that the doctor left the exam room. Haley and her mom stood up and walked out of the office.
