HEALTH

When we are ill, we call the doctor, and he examines us and diagnoses the illness (or disease).

When we have a headache, a stomach ache, a sore throat, or pain in some part of the body, we call the doctor. He takes our temperature and our pulse. He examines our heart, our lungs, our stomach or the part where we have a pain (the part of the body which hurts us) and tells us what is the matter with us. He says: “You have a slight temperature” or “You have caught a cold” or “You have heart disease”.

The doctor prescribes medicine, and gives us a prescription, which we take to the chemist, who makes up the medicine. The doctor says: "I shall prescribe some medicine. You must take the prescription to the chemist and he will make up the medicine for you. Take the medicine twice or three times a day, before or after meals". We must follow the doctor's orders if we want to get better. If we have a temperature, we must stay in bed and take the medicine he prescribes.

If you need an operation (for example if you have appendicitis), a surgeon performs the operation on you. If we are too ill to walk, we go to hospital in the ambulance. After our illness we can go to a sanatorium until we are strong again.

When we have toothache, we go to the dentist’s. The dentist examines our teeth. The dentist asks: “Which tooth hurts you?” He says: “That tooth has a cavity. I must stop it (I must put in a filling)”. If the tooth is too bad, the dentist extracts it.
