Dr. Brook, I just don't know what's wrong me. I always feel tired and weak. My wife finally persuaded me to visit you to find out what the trouble is.
From what is written here I can see that you had a very bad cold three years ago and that you also had a small operation last year. Did you have any bad effect after that?
Well, I don't remember.
For example, how long did you stay at home each time you were ill?
Just a couple of days, but about six months ago I was home for about two weeks with a cold or something.
Did you see a doctor at that time, or did you just stay at home?
No, I didn't see a doctor. When I began to feel better, I returned to work.
And when did you start feeling so tired again?
It must have been about ten days ago. When I came home from work one night, there just didn't seem to be any reason to go back the next day.
Well, it sounds as if your problem may be the kind of work you do. The tests I just made don't show anything really wrong. But I would like to make some further tests in the hospital.
That's fine with me.
All right, you can check in tonight and I'll make the tests tomorrow morning.
