When we have a headache , a stomach-ache , a sore throat, a cold, or a pain in some other part of the body, we call the doctor. He takes our temperature and feels our pulse. He examines our heart, our lungs, our stomach or pressure, the part of the body which hurts us, and tells us what the matter is with us. He says: “You have a slight temperature”, “You have a flu”, or “You have caught a cold”, or “You have heart disease”.
H
e
doctor gives us a prescription and says: “I shall prescribe some
medicines. You must take the prescription to the chemist’s and he
will make up the medicine for you. Take the medicine twice a day
before meals.”
If we follow the doctor’s instructions, we get better; if we disobey the doctor we may get worse, and even die. We must follow the doctor’s instructions, if we want to get better. If we have a temperature, we must stay in bed and take the medicine he prescribes. If we cannot get better at home we must go to hospital.
If we need an operation, for example, if we have appendicitis, a surgeon performs the operation on us. If we are too ill 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 and 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.
General dental practice
General dental practice includes mouth examination, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. The dentist frequently uses X-rays and other equipment to ensure correct diagnosis and treatment.
T
reatment
may include filling cavities, removing the nerves of teeth, treating
diseases of the gums, removing teeth, and replacing the nerves of
teeth with bridges and dentures. Anesthesia is often used in any
treatment that might cause pain. Teeth may be filled with amalgam or
cement.
Perhaps one of the most important parts of a dentist’s work is preventive dentistry. If a dentist examines patient’s teeth at regular intervals, he may find and treat a disease before it becomes serious.
The health service
The level of medical service both in Britain and the USA is very high. Every employed citizen is obliged to pay weekly a certain amount of money to the national health service. The sum necessary to run medical services is very big and a large part of it comes not from weekly form payment but from taxes. Various forms of Medical Insurance are widespread in these countries.
E
verything
is paid. For example, in the USA if you turn a city hospital, you
should pay at least $ 50. Separately you will pay for a consultation,
minimum $50-60 for a visit. A medicine will cost you another minimum
$15-20. You should take a prescription for purchase of many drugs in
American drugstores.
However you can take medical service free of charge in medical institutions attached to different charity and religious organizations. Thus, the National Health Service (NHS), UK, provides free medical treatment for visitors from EU and Commonwealth countries and to visitors from other countries with reciprocal health arrangements. An NHS prescription costs 5.25 pounds at present.
