Sherry had been coughing for the past month and no signs of turning better. Her close friend Mindy was worried for her and ask Sherry to seek additional medical consultation but Sherry refused.

Sherry said, "It's just a minor cough, no big deal."

But Mindy replied, "This small deal if untreated will lead to Pneumonia. And when it becomes that, it will be too late."

After the consistent nagging from Mindy, Sherry gave up and agreed to seek additional consultation. And indeed the doctor told Sherry to thank Mindy for nagging her as she is now in the stage of bronchitis. If she delays treatment any further, Pneumonia will be upon her and it will be harder to treat her. Upon exiting the consultation room, Sherry immediately drop Mindy and message and thank her for insisting her to come for a further check up.
