AT THE CHEMIST'S PHARMACY

AT THE DOCTOR'S

When we are ill, we call the doctor, and he examines us and diag­noses the illness (or disease): When we have a headache, a stomach ache, a sore throat, a cold or a pain in some part of the body, we call the doctor. He takes our temperature and our pulse. He examines our heart, our lungs, our stomach or the part where we have a pain and tells us what the matter with us is. He says: «You have a slight temperature» or «You have the flu» or «You have heart disease».

The doctor prescribes some medicine, and gives us a prescription, which we take to the chemist, who makes up the medicine. The doctor says: «I shall prescribe some medicine. You must take the prescription to the chemist and he will make up the medicine for you. Take the med­icine twice a day or three times a day, before (or after) meals».

If you follow the doctor's orders, you get better; if you disobey the doctor you may get worse, and even die. We must obey the doctor (we must follow the doctor's orders), 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 you need an operation (for example, if you have appendicitis), a surgeon performs the operation on you.

If we are too ill to walk, we go to hospital in the ambulance. After our illness we can go to a sanatorium until we are strong again.
