Sam Syrup is a male biracial African American/Caucasian. Sam Syrup is a surgical doctor and works long hours. Sam has two children. They both are twins and are ten years old. The girls name is Samantha and the boys name is Sam ere.  They live in California. They drive a range rover.  They both attend a private school. Sam’s wife travels a lot overseas so she is not always available. Since Sam is a doctor he is rich enough to have a butler whose name is John. He works in the kitchen preparing all of the meals and he makes the kids meals all the time. Sam never cooks and lets the butler cook. All of the sudden …the butler got sick and decided he still wanted to work to make some money. So, whenever he was sick he was still able to prepare the meals and still take care of the children when Sam was not home. One day, when John was sick he suddenly felt very weak and started to cough, sneeze, and throw up near the food. Sam so happen to come home from a long day of work and decided he wanted a snack. There was a snack lying on the counter from whenever John made the food the day he was sick. Then, Sam already had eaten the food when he came into the kitchen and it was too late to tell Sam to not eat the food anymore because it was too late.  So, John yelled and said “Don’t eat the food it’s contaminated.”

Two weeks went by and the doctor started to feel sick. He was not able to go to work for the past couple of days. His symptoms are weakness, diarrhea, nausea, and throwing up. He feels overwhelmed of the idea that he is getting sick. He believes that this might be serious. Sam feels that he doesn’t want to call his wife because her job is very important to her and he doesn’t want her to come home just because he is not feeling good. So, he decides not to call her and tell her what is going on. A couple of days later he decides he was not feeling any better and he decided that he should just go to the emergency room. So, the dad decided to get a baby sitter being that that butler got sick, so after hours of sitting in the emergency room the doctor had diagnosed Sam with “Typhoid Fever” he did not know what to do after hearing news like this  so he had no choice but to call his wife and tell her what’s going on.

       After a week later he started to take full treatment on his road to recovery he would take certain injections and he would also try to stay away from people as much as he could. He was in the hospital for almost a month in a half since he has been diagnosed with the disease. The vaccination was starting to work and doctors were starting to see a difference in his behavior.
    
     Another month went by and the doctors were pleased with the outcome of the treatment. They felt that he was going to be able to be around other people and be able to communicate regularly.  So, then a couple of weeks went by and he was fully recovered. Now he is able to go home and go back to his normal life and go back to doing surgical work. The butler was fired after he got home due to him being the cause of so much pain.
