Just called to make an appointment and when she asked what for I explained that he has asthma and that he started coughing yesterday and his wheeze is really bad.
her....His what?
me....wheeze
her....sorry I don't know what you mean
me....a wheeze; he has asthma.
her....yes I know what asthma is but I don't know what a wheeze is.
Me....W.H.E.E.Z.E, one of the main symptoms of asthma.
her...oh, right. do you want an appointment then?
