1. At the Hospital
Typically, the doctor will ask about your symptoms, your medical history, and about
medication which you're taking.To ask about your symptoms, the doctor might ask
1. 'Do you have a fever?
2. ''Do you have a cough?'
3. 'Do you have a sore throat?'
The doctor might ask more questions about a specific symptom.For example:
1. 'How long have you been feeling like this?'
2. 'Is this the first time you've had a problem like this?'
3. 'How severe is the pain?'
If you're describing your symptoms, it's common to use the present perfect tense,
especially for a problem that appears repeatedly.For example:
1. 'I've been having really bad headaches."
2. I've been having some stomach problems.'
3. I've been having a lot off problems getting to sleep.'
You could also add a time period, as in: 'I've had this cough for a week now.To describe
more stable symptoms, use the present simple tense.For example:
1. 'I have a swelling in my right knee.'
2. 'I have this rash on my arm."
After you describe your symptoms, the doctor might do some basic checks on you. For
example, he or she might want to take your pulse check your blood pressuret or listen to
your heartbeat or breathing using a stethoscope. Next, the doctor will suggest further
treatment, and possibly prescribe medicine for you to.
2. Prescibing Medication and Giving Advise

Doctors can prescribe you medicine or other treatments. They do this by writing what
you need on a piece of paper-a prescription. 'Prescribe' is the verb, and 'prescription' is
the noun.You can also use the noun 'prescription" to refer to the medicine which a doctor
prescribes for you.
For example, you could say: '
1. The doctor prescribed antihistamines, but they didn't help.'
2. 'I lost my prescription, so I'll have to call the doctor and see if she can send me a
replacement.'
Antihistamines are often taken by people who have allergies. In the dialogue, do you
remember what kind of medicine the doctor prescribed?She prescribed painkillers.
Common painkillers are paracetamol and ibuprofen.Painkillers may also be anti-
inflammatories- they reduce fever and swelling. After you have your prescription, you
can collect your medicine from a pharmacy-also called a chemist's in UK English,
although both words are used.
The doctor or pharmacist might also give you advice on how to take your medicine.For
example:
1. Take one pill every twelve hours.'
2. Make sure you take the pills with food.'
3. 'Avoid alcohol while you're taking these, or they might not be as effective.'
Finally, the doctor might also give you some more general advice.General advice

possible
3. How healthcare work

'GP' stands for 'general practitioner', meaning a doctor who doesn't specialise in one
area.GPs mostly work in small clinics, not in hospitals. If you have a problem, you'll go
to your GP first. Your GP will then help you to arrange further treatment if you need
it.For example,

other countries, most people have healthcare insurance.
in some places, healthcare can be very expensive if you're uninsured.
4. In Hospital
A&E stands for 'accident and emergency' it's the hospital departement where you go if
you have a serious medical issue in american english it's commonly called ER :
emergency room hospital have visiting hours, when you can go and spend time with your
friends and relatives who are staying there.
Even if you need to go to hospital, you might be an outpatient, meaning that you go to
hospital,do what you need, and then go home again. The opposite is 'inpatient', meaning
that you need to stay overnight.
When you're ready to leave hospital and go home, they discharge you.
You can discharge yourself earlier, but your doctors might try to persuade you to stay
longer.
5. Talking About Recovery
Recovery
1. I'm feeling quite fragile.
2. I should get some strength back in a couple of weeks
3. It' s a big wound, so that'll take time to heal just by isltself
4. One day at a time!
'Fragile' is similar to weak. It's often used to describe things which break easily, like
china plates or things made of glass. If you're feeling fragile, you feel weak and ill.
If you're recovering from a serious illness or an operation, you'll need to get your strength
back. You also heard the phrase 'get back to normal'.
For example:
● 'It'll take a few weeks to get back to
normal.' A wound is an opening or a cut in your
skin.
If you have an operation, the surgeon will need to make an opening in your skin, which
needs to heal afterwards.
Finally, 'one day at a time' is a phrase which means you focus on the present, rather than
thinking about the future.
You can use it when you're dealing with a difficult or complex situation.You can also use
the longer phrase 'take things one day at a time.'For example: 'Everything's so busy right
now.
