Question

Dear Paul， I haven’t seen you for a long time and I miss you very much. Now I’m writing to you to ask for your help. My doctor is a woman and I feel nervous about it，especially when I have to wear nothing at the doctor’s office. What should I do? I’m afraid to see the doctor even if I have a bad cold. Is there something wrong with me? Please help me. I’m looking forward to your reply. Peter

Dear Peter， I'm happy to hear from you and I miss you，too. As for (关于) your trouble, there is no need to worry about it. Little kids often run around wearing nothing and feel natural about it. But as you get older, you care more about your body and want to have your own room. So it’s normal to feel shy when taking off your clothes at the doctor’s office. But your doctor does need to examine (检查) you to make sure if you are healthy. To make you more comfortable, you can ask your mom or dad to come into the examine room with you. You can also ask for a gown (长袍)．Most doctors’ offices have these gowns for patients. So just relax, and your doctor can examine you better to keep you in good health. Paul
