Victor: Oh, doctor, you’ve got to help me!
Doctor: Try to relax. What seems to be the problem?
Victor: I’m sneezing all the time, and my eyes are itchy and watery.
Doctor: Tilt your head back so I can take a look at your nasal passages. You’re very congested.
Victor: My sinuses are killing me! I have headaches all the time and nothing I do seems to help.
Doctor: What is this on your skin?
Victor: I don’t know. I’ve had red spots all over my body.
Doctor: They look like hives to me. Are you experiencing any shortness of breath?
Victor: Well, my chest feels constricted and it’s hard to breathe.
Doctor: I think you may be experiencing a severe allergy attack. I’m going to refer you to an allergist. What were you doing right before you started experiencing these symptoms?
Victor: I started my first job.
Doctor: That could be your problem.
Victor: I knew it! I’m allergic to work!
