Transcript - Inuit - Cough for 3 weeks or more? Get medical help!
A man is cutting a fish on a cutting board.
A grandfather and grandson are sitting down enjoying their meal in the dinning room. A baby is in a highchair.
Grandson - Grandpa Nuyalia, are you okay?
Close of up grandfather.
Grandfather - I'm fine. It's just a cold.
"3 weeks later." - Close up the grandson in living room.
Grandson - Is that the same cough, grandpa?
Close up of grandfather in living room.
Grandfather - Yes. It just don't go away.
Close up of Grandson facing his Grandfather.
Grandson - We have to get you tested for tuberculosis, grandpa Nuyalia. A three week cough is too long to just a cold or flu.
Grandfather - All right, Johnny. If you think it's best.
"Next Day." - Grandfather is outside watching towards a clinic.
