Taking turn to fall sick

1 day after Baby J fall sick, it's the Daddy's turn to fall sick. Virus has been spreading the family. The Daddy finally agrees to consult DR on Friday night after much persuasion by the Mummy.

The clinic that they wanted to visit was closed so they had no choice to visit the other clinic (the Vampire clinic). The clinic sucks blood like nobody business. Worst of all, it was a locum who was on duty that night. He was really doing his job as a DR by asking a few questions, listening to the heartbeat, checking the throat and starting to prescribe medicines.

5 types of medicines (Cough syrup, Flu tablet, Phlegm tablet, Throat Infection and Lozenges) were dispensed and the bill came out to be $40+. After much discussion, they decided to take only 2 medicines and the bill was $27. If the same medicine were to be taken from another clinic, the bill would definitely be much lower (from past experience).

4 days later, the Mummy started to have running nose in the early morning and after eating KFC, her throat starts to sore. Seems like the flu virus is not letting anyone off in the family. They are taken turns to fall sick one by one... Perhaps due to the weather changed or perhaps due to the lack of rest or perhaps...
