Exercise 3. Read the text and be ready to answer the questions:
When we have a headache, a stomach-ache, a sore throat, a cold,or a pain in some other part of the body, we call the doctor. He takes our temperature and feels our pulse. He examines our heart, our lungs, our stomach or pressure, the part of the body which hurts us, and tells us what the matter is with us. He says: "You have a slight temperature", "You have the flu", or "You have caught a cold", or "You have heart disease".
The doctor gives us a prescription and says: "I shall prescribe some medicine. You must take the prescri ption to the chemist and he will make up the medicine for you. Take the medicine twice a day before meals".
If we follow the doctor's instructions, we get better; if we disobey the doctor we may get worse, and even die. We must follow the doctor's instructions, 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 we need an operation, for example, if we have appendicitis, a surgeon performs the operation on us. If we are too ill we go to hospital in the ambulance. After our illness we can go to a sanatorium until we are strong again.
When we have toothache, we go to the dentist's. The dentist examines our teeth and asks: "Which tooth hurts you?" He says: "That tooth has a cavity. I must stop it, I must put in a filling". If the tooth is too bad, the dentist extracts it.
