It's Probably Just a Virus

Three in the morning, and Alice has her first fever. Bruno on the phone, a taxi to the children's emergency department, a doctor on duty who has seen it all, and Daniel, who has read everything on the internet. Say that something may be so without saying that it is, "it may just be a virus", "by all accounts, it's nothing serious", "everything suggests it's a virus", and get through a night at the emergency department.

L’HISTOIRE

Thursday the fourteenth of March, twenty thirty, three in the morning. Alice, three months old, wakes up crying, and she's hot. Bia takes her temperature, and Daniel calls Bruno, who isn't on duty tonight. Half an hour later, a taxi takes them to the children's emergency department. At half past four, the doctor on duty has examined Alice from head to toe, and Daniel, who read the whole internet in the taxi, has a question. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
