XI. Ask questions on the text and retell it:

My mother suddenly fell ill (was suddenly taken ill). She was feverish and felt very bad.

She had a splitting headache and a terrible cough. We telephoned for doctor Ivanenko, our district doctor. Doc­tor came, took her coat off and put on the white gown which she kept in her bag. The doctor asked mother to strip to the waist, examined her, felt her pulse, took her temperature, and measured her blood pressure.

The doctor said it might be pneumonia and told mother she must go to the hospital for an examination. But mother wouldn't hear of it. So doctor Ivanenko prescribed her some injections, a gargle, a cough-mixture, tablets, mustard plasters and a hot-water bottle at her feet.

Next doctor Ivanenko wrote a note for an X-ray and blood examination. The doctor put down everything she found in my mother's patient's file.

The prescription which the doctor left was made up at the chemist's (at a chemist's shop).

We followed the doctor's instructions and in two weeks mother felt much better. I took her to the policlinic for a check-up.

Mother went to doctor Ivanenko's consulting-room while I remained in the waiting-room. Soon mother came out. The doctor said she was on the mend. (She was recover­ing.)
