Text A

There is no denying the fact, that good health is better than the best medicine. Is there anything more important than health? It's doubtful. If your body suffers from any disorder your mind suffers with the body too. You can't be good either at work or at studies. Aches and pains lead to irritation, nervous breakdown, exhaustion, apathy. And if your health is good, you are usually in a good. You have a sound mind in a sound body, as the old Latin

saying goes. Taking medicines is an unpleasant thing, of course, and if you want to avoid it, you should keep yourself fit. There is no doubt, if a person doesn't take exercises, he can easily catch an illness. Certainly the progress of science is a wonderful thing, and I want to speak about the achievements of medical science. A hundred years ago there was no medicine for diphtheria, mea­sles, scarlet fever, whooping-cough and other infectious diseases. A lot of people suffered from pain and nobody could help them.

But nowadays the situation has changed and our medicine has succeeded in treating patients for contagious diseases. You can always go and see a doctor, and you are sure he will examine you carefully: feel your pulse, sound your chest, heart and lungs, test your blood pressure and give advice. The only thing you have to do is to follow his directions. Otherwise a slight ailment can develop into an incurable malady. And if you have to have an op­eration he will send you to hospital where they have all the neces­sary equipment.

If your teeth need attention, filling or extracting, or if you need false teeth, then you go to the dentist.

If your eyes need attention, you go to the oculist, who will ex­amine them, test your sight to see whether you are suffering from short-sight or long-sight, and will write out a prescription, which you take to an optician, who will then make the necessary glasses -for you.

Once my friend came to school as usual, but in two hours his strange paleness attracted attention of his fellows. It was obvious that something was wrong with him. We advised him not to risk his health and turn to his physician at once.

The doctor asked my friend what the matter was with him. My friend complained of a headache and sore throat. He took his temperature, and it proved to be high. Having examined my friend, the doctor found he had a bad cold, wrote out a prescription and told him to go home and stay in bed to avoid complications. My friend followed the doctor's instructions and in a week he felt much better and the doctor said he had fully recovered.

DIALOGUE

CONSULTING A DOCTOR

Doctor: Well, what's the matter with you, Mr. Simpson?

Patient: You'd better ask me what is not the matter with me, doctor. I seem to be suffering from all the illnesses imaginable: insomnia, headache, backache, indigestion, constipation and pains in the stomach. To make things still worse, I've caught a cold, I've got a sore throat, and I'm constantly sneezing and coughing. To crown it all, I had an accident the other day, hurt my right shoulder, leg and knee, and nearly broke my neck. If I take a long walk, I get short of breath. In fact, I feel more dead than alive.

Doctor: I'm sorry to hear that. Anyhow, I hope things aren't as bad as you imagine. Let me examine you. Your heart, chest and lungs seem to be all right. Now open your mouth and show me you tongue. Now breathe in deeply through the nose... There doesn't seem to be anything radically wrong with you, but it's quite clear that you're run down, and if you don't take care of yourself, you may have a nervous breakdown and have to go to hospital. I advise you, first of all, to stop worrying. Take a long rest, have regular meals, keep to a diet of salads and fruit, and very little meat. Keep off alcohol. If possible, give up smoking, at least for a time. Have this tonic made up and take two tablespoonfuls three times a day before meals. If you do this, I can promise you full recovery within two or three months.

Patient: And if I don't, doctor?

Doctor: Then you'd better make your will, if you haven't yet done so!

Patient: I see. Well, thank you, doctor. I shall have to think it over and decide which is the lesser evil — to follow your advice or prepare for a better world!

Text В

The afternoons were devoted to a new course, physical diagno­sis, in which the students practiced the technique of examination on one another. Dan and Noble again were partners. They spent a whole week learning how to use a stethoscope.

"Take a deep breath. Now hold it. Now cough." After the cough Dan heard something odd in the right lung. He put the stethoscope down. "I think you've got rales in the right lung".

Noble looked around. Then he said quietly, "My mother and father both died of tuberculosis".

"Have you been swimming lately? Maybe you got some water in your lungs?"

"I've lost eleven pounds."

"Maybe you ought to get an X-ray."

"Be quiet," Noble whispered fiercely. "If they find out about this I'll be put in a sanitarium. I won't get out for a couple of

years, and I won't finish the medical school then. I'll be out of money."

"Are you sweating at night?"

"Sometimes I sweat. Don't you?"

"Not much. Have you ever run a fever?"

Noble felt his own forehead. "I don't know," he said.

"Get a thermometer. Take your temperature whenever you get. a chance, particularly in the afternoon."

Noble looked at him. "Don't tell anybody about this," he said.

"You ought to see a doctor. The school doesn't have to know anything about this."

In the evening Dan managed to get Noble into X-ray unnoticed. He took his chest X-ray and developed the film. When Noble looked at the picture he was sure it was tuberculosis. Dan was not so sure.

That night Noble didn't go home. He was afraid that he was contagious. He slept at Dan's. All through the night Dan heard \ him moving restlessly and coughing. In the morning Dan drove di­rectly to the hospital and took Noble to Dr. Rosenthal. The doctor took out his stethoscope. After a while he asked Dan where he had heard those rales. Dan showed him. The doctor handed him the scope. "Find them for me." Dan heard nothing but the soft move­ment of air in Noble's lungs. Then Dr. Rosenthal listened again.

"Have you had a cold?"

Noble nodded. "I'm just getting over one. I can't eat and I've-been sweating and I'm feeling lousy."

"I'd feel the same way if I thought I had tuberculosis. All you have is a cold," Dr. Rosenthal said.
