2. Practice your vocabulary. Use the substitution patterns:
1) – What do you complain of, sir?
– I’ve got a sharp headache (a terrible toothache, an awful ear-ache, a stomach-ache).
2)– Did you ever suffer from asthma (pneumonia, bronchitis)?
– No, never.
3)– What will you recommend in the first place, doctor?
– In the first place you must have your blood tested (lungs X-rayed, blood pressure measured).
4)– How do I take all those pills, doctor?
– You should take them twice a day (3 times a day, every morning).
5)– What are these pills for (those drops, these tablets)?
– This medicine is for a cough (cold in the head, tonsillitis).
6)– What specialist must I consult?
– You must see a surgeon (an eye specialist, a dentist).
2. Read the conversations:
1)– Oh!
– What’s the matter?
– I’ve cut my finger.
– Oh, I’m sorry. Come here, I’ll bandage it.
2)– I have an awful toothache.
– Would you open your month, please…? Does the touch hurt?
– Yes, very. It gives me a sharp pain.
– Well, no treatment will help your bad tooth. It has to be pulled out.
3)– Mum, I want an ice-cream.
– You said in the morning you had a sore throat and it was hard to swallow your porridge.
– It isn’t anymore.
4)– I don’t like your cough.
– Yes, it’s rather bad. I just can’t get of it.
– You’ve got to consult a doctor.
– That’s what I’m going to do. I think I must be X-rayed.
– Certainly.
5)– What’s your temperature?
– 37.8. So I have an awful headache. I get hot and cold.
– I’ll give an injection. And take this mixture. You have to keep in your bed.
4. Role-play the dialogues, learn them by heart:
1) Doctor: What’s wrong with you?
Mr. Smirnov: I must have caught cold. I’ve been sneezing and coughing all the time and it’s hard for me to swallow.
D: Open your month, please, let me have a look at your throat… Your pulse, please… Now take off your jacket and shirt, I’ll listen to your heart and sound your lungs… Got a temperature?
Mr. S: Yes, but not very high-thirty seven point six.
D: There’s nothing serious the case with you. I’ll make out a prescription, take these pills twice a day, avoid draughts (ñêâîçíÿêè) and keep the bed for a few days.
Mr. S: What about a sick-list?
D: Here it is. In a week I’ll examine you. So you’ll have to make your blood-count and to be X-rayed. Don’t worry. You’ll be all right soon.
Mr. S: Thanks a lot, good-bye.
Answer the questions:
1) Why did Mr. Smirnov go to the clinic?
2) What signs of disease did he have?
3) How did doctor examine Mr. Smirnov?
4) What did doctor prescribe Mr. Smirnov?
2)– When were you operated on for your appendicitis?
– Two days ago. They brought me here in an ambulance, you know. Had I been brought to hospital a little later I might have died of blood poisoning.
– How do you feel now?
– I’m still a bit too weak and somewhat dizzy. But the doctor says I’ll be picking up in no time. If everything goes well they will take out the stitches (øâû) next Friday… Well, and how’s everybody?
– Thanks, all right. Asking how you are. I’ll be leaving now. Hope to see you in a better shape soon.
– Thanks a lot for coming round to see me. Good-bye.
