BENSKIN'S ROMANCE

We, medical students, spent two days a week in the accident room, where I began to feel I was at last learning a little medicine by discovering how to put a bandage* on without dropping it to the floor first.

The order was that a pair of us (to sleep) once a week in hospital attending to cases that came during the night. This system was nearly the end of Tony Benskin. In his walks round the sleeping hospital he had met a pretty nurse and it looked as if he (to fall) in love with her. Benskin's romance (to end) harmlessly if he (not to make) a mistake on the last night of our work in the hospital. To celebrate the end of our week in the accident room we spent the evening in the King George**. At eleven, when it was time we (to return) to the hospital, Benskin rushed to see his night nurse, while I went to bed.

Just after three I was shaken awake. Automatically I reached for my trousers, thinking that it was necessary that I (to go) to the accident room: but it was Benskin.

"I wish you (to let) me sleep," I said in a rough voice.

"Old man!" he said. "You've got to help me!" He acted as if something terrible (to happen).

"What's the matter?" I inquired sleepily. "You know that night nurse — Molly?" "Umm."

"Well, listen, old man, Oh, I wish you (not to go) to sleep again. Tonight I came to see her and before I knew where I was I'd asked her to marry me! But for the pint I had had at the King George I never (to do) a thing like that!"

I tried to clear the sleep and alcohol out of my eyes: "It's doubtful that she (to accept) you."

"But she did. Don't you realise what's happened! She's set her heart on marrying me!"

"Perhaps she'll have forgotten all about it by the morning," I suggested hopefully.

"Forgotten? Not on your life! You know what these women are! The news'll spread all over the hospital by nine o'clock in the morning. I wish I never (to do) a foolish thing like that!"

"If I (to be) you, I (to go) and explain that it was all in fun."

*бинт

**a pub

Benskin gave a laugh: "You go!"

"I see your point. It's necessary that I (to think) in silence."

After about twenty minutes I had an idea. I criticized it to myself carefully, and it looked as if it (to work).

"I think I've got the answer," I said and explained it to him. He shook me warmly by the hand and rushed away.

The solution was a simple one. My advice was that Benskin (to propose)* to every single night nurse in the hospital.

DOCTOR SALLY

Lottie, a fashionable young lady, had always been ill-tempered, but that morning when she came into the sitting-room and found there a charming young woman, she made herself particularly unpleasant to the visitor, and giving her a nasty look started with:

"And who may this be?" "I'm a doctor," said Sally. "You? A doctor?"

"Can you read?" asked Sally with annoyance. "Of course I can read."

"Then read this," said Sally and handed her card to Lottie.

"Doctor Sally Smith," Lott'ie read. "Well, I suppose it's all right. Still it looks strange to me. And let me tell you ..."

"Quiet, please," said Sally. "I want to make an examination," and she became busy with her stethoscope. "Take off your dressing gown."

"Eh? Oh, all right."

"Take a deep breath... The lungs appear to be good," said Sally. "Well, the heart seems all right, too. Now for the reflexes. Cross your legs... Nothing the matter with them. All right, that's all."

"Examination over?" "Yes."

Lottie became interested. "What's wrong with me?" "Nothing much. You need a rest."

"Aren't you going to look at my tongue?"

"I can tell, without looking at it, that that needs a rest too. What you want is a few weeks in a nice, quiet sanatorium."

"You're going to send me to a sanatorium?"

"Well, I'm advising that you should go. You need a place where there are cold baths and plain food, and no cocktails and cigarettes."

Ex. 37. Read the passage, answer the questions, using the vocabulary of the lesson and write it up in about one third of the original length.

'There are one or two elementary rules to be followed,' remarked Dr. Budd turning to Doyle. 'The most obvious is that you must never let the patients see that you want them. Never make the mistake of being polite to them. There's no better advertisement than a patient whose feelings have been hurt. I quarrelled with one man about his liver****, and it ended by my throwing him down the stairs. What was the result? Ни talked so much about it that the whole village from which he came, sick and well, rushed to see me. It's human nature, my boy, and you can't change it. You make yourself cheap and you become cheap. You put a high price on yourself and they take you at that price. Suppose I set up in Harley Street tomorrow, and made it all nice and easy, with hours from ten to three, do you think I should get a patient? Never. How would I work it? I should let it be known that I only saw patients from midnight until two in the morning, and that bald-headed**** people must pay double. That would make people talk, and in four months the street would be blocked all night. That's my principle here. I often come in the morning and send them all about their business, tell

*flu = influenza = the grippe

**бюллетень (по болезни)

****печень

****лысый

them I'm going off to the country for a day. I lose forty pounds, and it's worth four hundred as an advertisement.'

'But I understand that the consultations are free?'

'So they are, but they have to pay for the medicine. But mind you, Doyle, don't make any mistake about this! All this would go for nothing if you had not something real behind — I cure them. That's the point. I take cases that others have given up, and I cure them. All the rest is to bring them here. But once here I keep them because I know the treat ment and the cure. It would all be useless but for that.'

(after "Conan Doyle" by Hesketh Pearson)

РУССКИЙ ДОКТОР — ПРЕЗИДЕНТ ГАВАЙИ

В конце XIX века на Гавайских островах появился седой белокожий человек. Он был очень внимателен к местным жителям, которые обращались к нему «за исцелением», и бедных лечил бесплатно. Слава об этом человеке распространилась мгновенно. Называли его «доктор Руссель», но никто не знал его настоящего имени. Кто же он был на самом деле?

Уроженец России из белорусской семьи на Могилевщине, Николай Константинович Судзиловский, медик по образованию, еще в студенческие годы начал участвовать в нелегальных организациях народовольцев. Его повсюду разыскивала царская полиция, чтобы упрятать в тюрьму. Однако ему удается нелегально перебраться через границу в Румынию.

И отправился путешествовать политический эмигрант по свету, меняя имена и внешний облик, занятия.

DR. FRANKLIN OF HARLEY STREET*

A year ago, when I was still quite a kid, I had food poisoning**. That's what I had — but that's not what the doctors told me. Judging by what they said I had almost everything except food poisoning. Believe me, I'm not inventing anything. When the local doctor gave me up, I went to hospital on the national health***, where at least three of them examined me, gave me pills and injections and sent me away as cured, exactly as before. For days I was in great pain. I ran temperatures and was sick almost hourly. I was beginning to get really frightened.

Then I had an idea. Everybody knows that Harley Street is where the best doctors practise their trade. I went there one day. I decided that I'd choose the same street number as the day it happened to be and ring the bell, and see what happened. The trouble was there turned out to be six bells; so, without hesitation I rang them all. If you don't believe this story, remember that I was drunk with fever and just didn't care what happened. I'd coire there with one purpose—to reach somebody who knew what the matter was. Well, the six bells were all answered by the same person: a sort of nurse-secretary, and before I had time to make any inquiries, I collapsed**** in the hall.

When I came round I saw a tall, intelligent-looking young man, who asked mi to tell him all about my trouble, which I did. He gave me an hour's examination, and then said, "Well, I don't know what's the matter with you, but we must find out."

I can't tell you how these words of Doctor Franklin impressed me and how my heart filled with respect for him. Because all the other doctors said they knew what the matter was, but Dr. Franklin of Har-ley Street said he didn't know. He got an ambulance and placed me inside one of those eighty-a-week clinics where they pierce***** your ear-lobes******, or change your sex for you, for three-figure fees — all without any mention of who was going to pay or on what terms I was going to be kept there.

To cut a long story short, he found there was an abscess, and pierced

it, and down went the temperature, and that was that. Dr. Franklin insisted that I should stay another week inside the clinic. Every day he would drop in to say "Hi", and he always treated me in front of the nurses as if I were a cabinst minister or someone — I mean he was so wonderfully polite. I really think he had the nicest manners I have ever seen in anyone, and I shan't forget it.

But on the day I was to go horns, he did not turn up at all, and so I didn't have a chance to thank him, or to raise the question of how to pay for my stay in

*a street in London where doctors have their offices.

**пищевое отравление

***a city hospital where patients receive free treatment

****потерять сознание

*****прокалывать

****** мочки ушей

the clinic. I wrote him, of course, but though he answered very nicely, he didn't mention the money. So I did this. While I was in the place, I took pictures with my Rolleiflex of nurses and patients, and some of them ware really funny. So I picked out the best, made enlargements, put them in an album, and dropped it in at Harley Street, and he wrote back and said, if ever I got into the clinic again, which he sincerely hoped I wouldn't, he'd confiscate my Rolleiflex first.
