Going to the doctor
at first we go to see the GP (general practitioner), who can send us to the specialist, but before that, he does some examinations
the doctor has to know, which problem you suffer from - the doctor asks you some questions:
- What seems to be the trouble?
- How have you been feeling recently?
- When did you first notice this?
after the questions the doctor gives you some orders:
- Let’s take to look at you.
- Put out your tongue.
- Does it hurt?
- Strip to the waist, please.
- Open your… please.
- Take off your… please.
- Take a deep breath.
- Stop breathing.
the doctor can take you some suggestions
- Try to cut down on cigarettes/alcohol.
- You ought to do more exercise, eat less fat, stop working so hard, relax at home, eat a balanced diet, …
Your doctor can …
- examine you
- take your pulse
- take your temperature, with a thermometer
- listen to your heartbeat, with a stethoscope
- test your reflexes, with a hammer
- give you a check-up
- take your blood pressure
- give you some pills to take
- give you some ointment to rub in to your back, to put on your back
- give you a prescription
- give you an injection (using a syringe)
- refer you to a specialist
- send you to have an X-ray
- ask you to make another appointment
What you have to do, when you are ill?
Symptoms – You feel rotten, shivery, with an aching head, limbs, you are sweeting, you have lost your appetite, feel sick.
stay indoors, keep warm, and keep away from other people as much as possible
have plenty of cool drinks – water, fruit drinks, milky drinks (about 2-3 liters a day)
if you feel shivery over 38C or aches or pains, try taking aspirin every 4 hours during the day
rest in the bed if you can
try to have 3 light meals a day. But don’t force yourself to eat if you’ve lost your appetite
Private doctor or state doctor?
It depends on our preferences. We can chose the best one and it could be private, but state doctor, too.
everybody must be insured in our state and basic medical care should be unpaid
but at the specialist or by the private doctors we have to pay for some special treatment
Problems in general, in our country
Hospitals – not very good, no place, badly equipped, expensive, bad food
Paying – medicaments are expensive, insurance companies do not want to pay them, sometimes doctors want to have profit from selling medicaments
Insurance – everybody must be insured, expensive, some companies do not do what they should – they promise sth. and then said that it is for some another people…
people can not be ill, they could lose their job or they won’t get money
incurable diseases – AIDS, cancer – people try to find the medicine of to slow down the illness
North Bohemia, Ostrava – smog, bad air, vocational diseases (z povolání)
