(if (equal (read-string "Are you fine today? ") "y")
(message "Oh, good.")
(message "Why don't you see a doctor?"))
You might want to change the (equal ...) test to one of these:
(y-or-n-p "Are you fine today? ")
(yes-or-no-p "Are you fine today? ")
(let ((case-fold-search t))
(string-match "\\`y\\(es\\)?\\'" (read-string "Are you fine today? ")))
