Cure

Doctor: "I am sorry to tell you this, but your frequent fainting bouts, your stomachache and your persistent fever are all because you had been infected with the rare form of viral infection. Without proper treatment, In all the cases that we know, it is always lethal, and death always follows within 1 month of the onset of fever."

Su: "Oh no... But why me? I had always exercised regularly and have a balanced diet.. Is there any treatment?"

Doctor: "Yes, there is. You just have to finish one course of the medicine I prescribe you. It is a course of 10 tablets. However, each tablet costs 1 million dollars.... But don't wor..."

Su (interupting): "Thats so expensive! I will never be able to afford that! Tell you what.. Don't worry, I will go and exercise harder. In fact, I will go to Guardians to buy a bottle of Vitamin C immediately. I won't let this virus get hold of me... I will take panadol to get rid of the fever...

Doctor: But these won't cure the disease! Actually, you don't have to worry about the cost. There is a man who had set up a fund to purchase these medicine for everyone who has this disease. In fact, I can just give you the medicine now...

Su (interupting again): "Oh, I won't do such a thing. Anyway, I don't believe that this is the only way to be cured. It must be a conspiracy of the drug companies to get more money. Why are you so narrowminded? Just think about the other possible ways to cure it! You can perhaps even use Charcoal pills for the stomachache.. I heard vitamin E is also very good for the immune system.. Okay, I will be off now, see you around. Thanks for sharing your ideas! It was really interesting!
