A 35-year-old comes to the clinic. He states, "It's getting close to allergy season and I need something to keep me from getting sick. Last year the doc gave me a shot, a spray, some pills, and an inhaler. They worked really well but I don't remember what they were. Can I have those things again? I just can't afford to miss work."
