A、A cold. B、Allergy. C、Sinusitis. D、Pneumonia. A细节题。医生非常明确地指出患者只是患了感冒(All you’ve got is a cold)。故选A。

M: Thanks for seeing me on short notice, doc. I wouldn’t come in if I wasn’t nearly dead.
W: Oh? How are you feeling bad?
M: I’ve been sick all week and I’ve scheduled to fly to Portland this weekend.
W: What sort of symptoms?
M: Mostly a sinus infection. I can’ t breathe and I’ve got this yellow stuff. I keep blowing out my nose.
W: How is it with your mouth open?
M: That’ s fine, but I can’t go around like some kind of fish, you know.
W: OK, then, stuffy head, nasal drainage. What else?
M: That’ s it. That’ s enough. Usually I get these colds and they’ve gone in one or two days. This one I’ve had all week.
W: l see, and any other symptoms? Cough, fever, anything else?
M: Ah, maybe a tickle in my throat. I cough once or twice. No big deal, though.
W: OK, let’ s take a look at you. Hop up here on the examination table and slip off your shirt. Hmm. Well, Mr. George, the exam is entirely normal. All you’ve got is a cold. Take one of the over-the-counter decongestant, Dristan or Contac for example, maybe a couple of Aspirins. We’ II see you for your physical in six months.
M: You mean you aren’ t going to give me something for this? I’ m got to go out of town in three days and I can’ t be sick then.
W: Yes, sometimes we use an antibiotic, but you aren’t sick enough to make that worthwhile.
M: What? I am sick as I want to be. What is this’’ I’ m not sick enough? What’ s going on? Is this because I’ m capitation in Complicare? They tell you to save a few bucks by not prescribing penicillin.
W: That doesn’ t have anything to do with it. I treat you just like patients who pay right up front.
M: Hey, I pay plenty for this insurance, doc. And I don’ t see how I’ m getting my money’ s worth.
