My head really hurts.
Oh, that's not good.
Do you have other problems?

It is not too bad.
I see.
Do you have a fever?
I think so.
I checked my temperature this morning.
It was 37.8.
37.8?
That's a fever.
When did you start feeling sick?
I started feeling sick last night.
I could not sleep.
Well, oh no, that's really bad.
Did you eat breakfast today?
No, i was not hungry, i only drank some water.
I see you should eat something later, maybe something warm.
Yes, maybe i will eat some soup later.
Good idea, You know.
I think you should see a doctor.
Really?
Do I need to go to a hospital?
Yes, it is better to see a doctor early.
If you wait too long, it can get worse.
You are right, but I am a little nervous.
I don't know what to say at the hospital.
Don't worry.
I will go with you.
I will help you.
It's not hard.
Thank you, Ken.
That is very nice of you.
Of course.
Let's get ready.
Okay.
Let me change my clothes first.

Before we go, let's check some things.
Do you have your insurance card?
My insurance card?
Wait, let me look for it.
It is very important.
You need it at the hospital.
Without it, you pay a lot of money.
I found it.
It was in my wallet.
Good.
Do you have some cash?
Yes, i have about 3 000 yen.
Is that enough?
Yes, that is enough.
With insurance, you pay 1 000 to 3 000 yen.
Okay good, do i need anything else?
Do you have your id, like your student id?
Yes,
I have my student ID in my bag.
Good.
You have your insurance card, cash, and ID.
That is everything.
Okay.
Oh, should I bring my medicine record book, too?
Yes.
That is a good idea.
The doctor can check your old medicine.
Okay.
I have it.
I am ready.
Good.
Do you have everything?
Yes, I am ready.
Let's go.
Let's go.

Don't rush.
We can walk slowly.
Thank you.
You are very kind, Ken.
Let's go.
The outside air may help you feel better.
I hope so.
