1 When You're Sick — Classroom Lesson 
Ms. Marquez: Okay, class, look at the picture. Is this a clinic or a pharmacy?
Class: A clinic.
Ms. Marquez: That's right. This is a pharmacy. Pharmacy. Repeat.
Class: Pharmacy.
Ms. Marquez: At the clinic, we talk to a doctor or a nurse. At the pharmacy, we talk to a pharmacist. Pharmacist.
Repeat.
Class: Pharmacist.
Ms. Marquez: In the pharmacy there are two ways to buy medicine. You can buy medicine with a prescription.
Prescription. Repeat.
Class: Prescription.
Ms. Marquez: Your doctor gives you a prescription.
Dr. Roberts: Here's your prescription.
Patient: Thank you.
Ms. Marquez: Then you go to the pharmacy where the pharmacist fills your prescription. But not all medicine
needs a prescription from your doctor. There are over-the-counter medicines. These medicines don't need a
prescription. People sometimes take them for a headache, a stomachache, a sore throat, a cough, and other aches
and pains. Let's take a look at some of these over-the-counter medicines. Class, what do you buy for a
headache?
