Health systems

In Britain, healthcare is paid for through taxes and national insurance payments taken directly from wages and salaries. The government decides how much will be spent on the National Health Service, but a lot of people feel they do not spend enough. Hospital treatment and visits to a family doctor at a surgery or clinic are free, but there is a prescription charge. Dentists and opticians charge fees. Private healthcare is available and a large number of insurance schemes exist to enable people to “go private”.

What do you know about Ukraine’s health system?

Read the text and write out unfamiliar words. Retell it as a news story.

I missed all the typical heart attack signs in women. Men's symptoms are well known. Signs of a heart attack may include, a pain radiating up the left arm, tightness in the chest and a shortness of breath. Women's heart attack symptoms are much more subtle.

.... Not knowing those signs nearly cost me the love of my life!

I'm not sure why I woke up, perhaps it was that second sense some couples seem to have when they've been together for as long as Barbara and I have.

I awoke suddenly, as if someone had tossed a bucket of ice water across my body. The room was pitch black. The only sound to be heard was the tick, tick, ticking of the old alarm clock.

No sounds of breathing, no snoring. All the sounds of sleep were completely absent.

"Barb," I said, panic starting to creep in.

No answer... In the 37 years we've been together, Barbara has never failed to answer when I call for her.

"Barbara!" I yelled.

Flipping on the reading light, fear clenched inside me. Barbara lay on the bed, white as a ghost. Her eyes were wide with fear. "Something's wrong," she croaked. "I don't feel right."

Shhh…... I said, placing my hand on her forehead. She was slick with sweat and clammy. "What's wrong?"

"My stomach," she said. I think I have the flu.

I relaxed. The flu I could deal with. Scrambling off the bed, I headed to the medicine cabinet. "Here, take this," I said handing her an aspirin and a glass of water. "I want to take your temperature." She couldn't lift her head, I had to do it for her... something definitely was not right, although the thermometer reading was normal.

"I don't think you have the flu," I said. "Maybe it's food poisoning." I went through a quick mental checklist of everything we'd eaten the past couple of days. We'd both eaten the same food and I wasn't sick. "I'm taking you to the hospital."

Barbara shook her head no. I knew she didn't want to be a burden. "I'm making an executive decision," I said, pulling her so her legs swung over the side of the bed. "You don't have a say, now try to stand, slowly hon everything's going to be fine."

She couldn't stand, the ambulance arrived ten minutes later. They told me Barbara was having a heart attack! ....I sat down and cried right there.

They said this as they wheeled her away from me.

My beautiful Barb, with an oxygen mask strapped to her face and her life (and my own) hanging in the balance.

They said it was a good thing I'd given her the aspirin, and it looked like she was going to make it.

We learned a lot about heart attack signs and heart health once Barbara came home.

She had to have a coronary bypass and the recovery was slow. I'm not complaining, it was very hard on her.

Recovering from a heart attack and coronary bypass surgery is a long and painful process. She's a tough gal though. Feeling pretty lucky to be alive, she hardly ever complained.

We found out how lucky we really were. We learned that heart disease is the number one killer in women. Stroke is number 3. Not breast cancer.

-We also found out that heart attacks kill more women each year, (over 500,000) than all other forms of cancer combined.

-A very good reason to think more seriously about heart attack signs!
