 Asking about family sickness.
Situation: A midwife is visiting and examining a patient.
Midwife : Do you have inherited illness in your family?
Client : Yes, I do.
Midwife : What illness?
Client : Being allergic to the cold weather.

”
Midwife : Do you also have asthma?
Client : Yes, I do.
Midwife : Is it being treated?
Client : No, Not yet. Could you please explain to me the symptoms?
Midwife : Well, for some people, asthma symptoms flare up in certain situation.
Client : I see.
Midwife : Exercise-induced asthma occurs during exercise. For many people, this kind of asthma is worse when the air is cold and dry. Occupational
asthma is asthma that’s caused or worsened by breathing in a workplace irritant such as chemical fumes, gases or dust. Allergy-induced
asthma is triggered by particular allergens, such as pet dander, cockroaches, or pollen.
Client : I understand now.
Midwife : How about high blood pressure and diabetes?
Client : No, I don’t have.
Midwife : Do you inherit twin children.
Client : Yes, last month I was told by my father that his little sister has twin children.
Midwife : Is there one of your extended family who suffers infectious illness?

Client : Fortunately, nobody. So, what should I do in my case?

Midwife : Ooh, do you mean with your asthma? Well, you should go to a doctor for proper treatment. For the time being, just avoid cold weather and
consume warm food.
