The context of the following conversation is Kendall had a cold that seemed to be developing into something else, so Jan took Kendall to a doctor.:
Kendall says I hope this cold doesn't eventually lead to me getting really sick.
The friend responds I had a bad cold last year and I had to stay home for a week.
Kendall responds I've been to the doctors, Jan took me yesterday bu they didn't give me any medicine..
The friend responds That's strange, but it can't be that bad if they didn't feel the need to provide you with medicine..
