Conversations with the doctor

So after a week of this strange, lingering sore throat, I ventured to the doctor to get it checked. After the inspection process, she told me in Armenian I had an infection and inflammation in my throat. I wanted to figure out if there was a more specific name for what I have.

Me: What is my condition called? Is it perhaps strep throat? (strep throat I said in English)

Dr: I don't know that term, do you speak French?

Me: No, but go ahead and try me.

Dr: But do you speak French?

Me: No, but I might understand.

Dr: You have a good sense of humor. (totally thinking I'm joking)

Me: No, really, say it in French!

Dr: You have an inflamacion.

Me: Ah yes, an inflammation.

I hope some other bloggers will occasionally post some funny conversations they have... sometimes the confusion or misunderstanding can be truly impressive :-)
