It had been a hectic day for Monica. Chandler was really sick, throwing up everything she tried to give him including water. She was beginning to think he was dehydrated so with much persuasion she finally got him to agree to see a doctor. They sat in the waiting room for a good half of an hour before the doctor took Chandler in the examining room. Chandler had always hated doctors, he thought they had nothing but bad news to deliver and even though he knew it was just a simple bug that he had, the fear was sill present in his mind. The doctor preformed the normal procedures like taking his blood pressure, weighing him, taking his temperature, the usual. Then proceeded to ask Chandler questions.

"So can you tell me what's wrong Mr. Bing?" He questioned

"Well honestly I think it's just the flu but my girlfriend forced me to come here." He said knowing that if Monica heard what he just said he would be in trouble.

The doctor chuckled at his response. "Well you can never be too safe. You never know, it could be more than just the flu. Can you tell me your symptoms?"

"Well it started yesterday morning at work, I thought it might be a cold, ya know? My head felt blocked up, sore throat, sneezing and coughing every two seconds. Then this morning I started feeling nauseous and haven't been able to keep anything down all day." Chandler explained.

"And you still have all the symptoms from yesterday on top of the nausea?"

Chandler nodded his head.

"Well I'm going to take some blood, I'm not saying you have it, but mono has been going around. I'm also going to order you a strep test judging by the color of your tonsils I wouldn't be at all surprised if you have it." He said while shining a flashlight into his ear. "It also looks like you have an ear infection, so I'm going to write you out a prescription for that."

"Well I guess it's a good idea Monica made me come here." Chandler spoke up.

The doctor chuckled. "I'm going to go order your testes a nurse will be in shortly."

"Thanks" He replied.

After a bit of waiting and some uncomfortable tests Chandler was awaiting the results to his tests with Monica by his side, in the waiting room.

Soon enough the Doctor arrived, looking over his charts. "Well Mr. Bing, I have a whole list of stuff to tell you." He said a little concerned.

Chandler nodded.

"It seems that you have a very bad case of strep throat, I'm going to put you on antibiotics that should also clear up the ear infections. You also have a slight case of bronchitis that I'm sorry to tell you will most likely get worse before it gets better, I'm going to prescribe you some cough syrup that will hopefully ease the pain. The good news is your mono test is negative for now, which is a good sign but we are going to put it in the twenty four-hour test because it sometimes doesn't pick it up right away. My advice for you is to get plenty of rest, follow the directions on the prescriptions, and drink plenty of fluid. I know you haven't been able to hold anything down and if you still can't by tomorrow morning I want you to come back in."

"Well." Monica said." I'll make sure he follows your orders."

"Take care." He said walking back into his office.

Back at his apartment Monica had Chandler go straight to bed. She spent the day catering to all his needs, getting him water, which he was keeping down so that was a good sign. She woke him up to take his pills, took his temperature and sat by his bed until he fell asleep. She was doing what every good girlfriend would do. As she was leaving Chandler's room, after getting him to sleep, Joey came home from an audition. He immediately opened the fridge and took out a soda, then walked over to his chair. "Hey Mon, how's Chandler?"

"He's pretty sick Joe, but the doctor said he will start feeling better in a couple days." She answered, as she walked over to the cupboard and took out a can of soup. "I'm going to make Chandler some soup. Do you want some?"

"Sure." He walked over to hook up his Playstation.

As Joey got into got into his game and Monica started the soup, Chandler walked groggily out of his room.

"Hey man." Joey said.

While Monica was a little more upset.

"What are you doing up Chandler? You should be in bed." She scolded.

"I'm twenty eight, not eight Mon." He responded, sitting next to Joey and picking up the other controller to the Playstation.

"I know sweetie, but you heard the doctor you need all the rest you can get, and I don't want you to get all worked up by playing that stupid game." Her voice less stern this time.

"I'm just going to play one game, I can't sleep anyway." He replied getting into his game.

"After that game you're going to eat some soup, then go to bed." She told him.

Chandler didn't respond. He knew he would not win this fight.

While Chandler played he fought the intense urge to cough, knowing that if Monica heard him that would be the end of playing. His eyes began to water as he allowed for his body to let out small coughs but that just triggered a huge coughing fit. His body shook while his lungs burned. "Sorry." He replied turning his attention back to the game.

"Dude, that didn't sound very good." Joey said looking at Chandler then up at Monica.

"Come over here and eat some soup." Monica demanded.

"I'm not hungry." He said obviously angry, while walking to his room and slamming the door.
