(The Nurse enters.  She has the results)

ACT III –  AT THE DOCTOR`S OFFICE

(The Doctor is sitting at his desk.  Mrs. Klein is sitting in front of him)

MRS. KLEIN: Well, doctor?.

DOCTOR: I´m afraid your son has Swine Flu.

MRS. KLEIN: What`s Swine Flu?.  I`ve never heard of that.

DOCTOR: Let me explain it to you.  Swine Flu, Swine Influenza, or Human Influenza, is a respiratory disease highly contagious.

MRS. KLEIN: Contagious?.  Do you mean that someone infected my son?.

DOCTOR: I don`t know, but the disease spreads through coughing or sneezing of people who may have the virus, or through touching something with the virus on it.

MRS. KLEIN: But where did he get it?.

DOCTOR: It might have been in school, at church, at the stadium, in the park, anywhere where there are many people gathered.

MRS. KLEIN: Is there a vaccine or some medication that can cure him?.

DOCTOR: Fortunately there are medications that can cure him.  Especially in your case, because you brought him on time. 

MRS. KLEIN: Do you mean that if I have waited more time something might had happened to him?

DOCTOR: Probably, there could had been complications, but that is not your case.

MRS. KLEIN  So, what`s the next step?.

DOCTOR: In a few minutes we will give him the appropriate medications for his illness.  I just need your approval to do it.

MRS.KLEIN: There is no problem.  Where do I sign?

(The Doctor gives her some paper to sign.  She signs the papers)

DOCTOR: Once he is on treatment, please go home and keep him inside until he is completely well.

MRS. KLEIN:  What about us?.

DOCTOR: I suggest that all of you stay home, the time that is necessary.

MRS.KLEIN: What else should we do?.

DOCTOR:  Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after your cough and sneeze.  If you cough or sneeze use disposable tissues, put them in a plastic bag, and throw them in the trash.  Also it`s very important to keep your house clean and well ventilated.

MRS. KLEIN: What about if I have to go out?.

DOCTOR: Then, you should avoid kissing other people and hand shaking, and wear a face mask.

MRS. KLEIN: What about food?.  What kind of food should we eat?.

DOCTOR:  Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables that have vitamin C.

MRS. KLEIN:  Should we avoid pork products?.

DOCTOR:  Swine flu can`t be spread through pork products, since the virus is not transmitted through food. If you follow my recommendations, George will be fine in about five days.

MRS. KLEIN: Oh, thank your doctor.

DOCTOR:  Just follow my instructions, and come back in three more days or before if he doesn`t feel well.

(They stand and leave the stage)

 ACT IV –  AT GEORGE`S HOSPITAL BED

(The Nurse is giving George some medicine)

DOCTOR: Don`t worry Mrs. Klein, he will be fine.

MRS. KLEIN:  hank your doctor.
