Donovan? We are all ready for you to come on back!
Hello Doctor, I have been sick all week and I haven't gotten better.
I believe you are a susceptible host meaning that you attract pathogens. Let me check your health history and, do you wash your hands often?
No I don't, I have been too sick to even get up.
Well we need to ensure you are washing your hands frequently and cleaning every surface in your house. I believe you are having a chronic infection. I will prescribe you antibiotics.
Wow. I really need to start washing my hands and cleaning. What are other ways I can contract a disease?
Other ways you can get diseases are through blood, food, water, fecal matter, parenteral (skin), airborne, and aerosol.
And how do I know the disease is contagious?
You never know. That is why we take extra precautions to stop any spread. Contagious diseases are known as infectious and can be transmitted indirectly (object) and directly (person).
Thank you for coming. I hope I answered all of your questions.
Yes you did. Now I know what to do better. Thank you.
