At the doctor's

If we catch cold, have a splitting headache, have a clogged nose, cough, are running high temperature, we must go to the policlinic. First we come to the registry. The registry clerk on a duty asks our name, address, age and occupation.

He writes out some slips because several specialists will examine us. Some of them will listen to out heart and lungs, some will check up our kidneys, liver, stomach, eyesight, and hearing. The others will make our blood analysis, take our blood pressure and x-ray us.

Our district doctor sees his patients in a consulting room. A nurse gives us a thermometer to take our temperature. The doctor asks what the trouble is. He offers to sit down on a chair and to strip to the waist. He feels your pulse and examines you. Then he writes out a prescription for some medicines: pills, powder, drops, and mixture. He also advises you to put a hot water bottle to your feet, to have hot tea with raspberry jam. You have the prescription made at the chemist's. You must follow the prescribed treatment to avoid complications and very soon you will be quite well. There is a good proverb: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. That's why I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables.
