How to talk about Illness and medicine in English

In this lesson you can learn how to talk about illness, medicine and health care in English.
you'll learn how to deal with a visit to the doctor's office, how to talk about different
Healthcare systems, how to talk about going to the hospital and more
1. Let's start by looking at language you can use if you need to see a doctor
Typically, the doctor will ask about your symptoms, your medical history and about
medication which your taking, what about your symptoms. The doctor might ask :
- do you have a fever?
- do you have a cough?
- do you have a sore throat?
ask more questions about a specific symptom for example :
- how long have you been feeling like this?
- is this the first time you've had a problem like this?
- how severe is the pain?
if you're describing your symptoms it's common to use a present perfect tense especially for
problem that appears repeatedly. for example :
- I've been having really bad headaches
- I've been having some stomach problems
- I've been having a lot of problems getting to sleep
you could also add a time. As in :
I've had this cough for a week now
describe most stable symptoms use the present simple tense. for example :
- I have a swelling in my right knee
- I have this rash on my arm
describe your symptoms the doctor might want to do some basic checks on you. For
example :
- he or she might want to take your pulse check your blood pressure or listen to your heartbeat
or breathing using a stethoscope
- next the doctor will suggest further treatment and possibly prescribed medicine for you to
take
2. Prescribing Medicine and Giving Advice
The doctor can prescribe you medicine or other treatments by writing what you need on a
piece of paper. a prescription prescribed is the verb and prescription is the noun. you can also
use the noun prescription to refer to the medicine which a doctor prescribes for you. for
example :
- you can say the doctor prescribed antihistamines but they didn't help
- I lost my prescription so I'll have to call the doctor and see if she can send me a replacement
antihistamines are often taken by people who have allergies. The doctor may prescribed
painkillers. common painkillers are paracetamol and ibuprofen. Painkiller may also be anti-
inflammatory, they reduce fever and swelling. After you have your prescription you can
collect your medicine from a pharmacy and called chemist in UK English, although both
words are used. Pharmacist might also give you advice on how to take your medicine. For
example :
- take one pill every 12 hours.
- make sure you take some pills with food
- avoid alcohol while you're taking these they might not be as effective
finally, the doctor might also give you some more General advise. the doctor have mentioned
three things. Example :
- you should also make sure you get enough sleep stay hydrated and avoid stress if possible
'what happens if you don't stay hydrated?' if you don't stay hydrated by drinking enough fluids
you'll get dehydrated
3. How HeHealthcare System Help
first let's take the UK as an example most people in the UK use public health care which is
almost completely free. some people choose to buy private insurance which can give you
more choice about where and when you get treatment if you're using public health care you'll
generally register with a GP. GP stand for general practitioner, meaning a doctor who doesn't
specialize in one area. GP mostly work in clinics not in hospitals. If you have a problem yo
could go to your GP first, your GP will then help you to arrange for the treatment if you need
it. for example, might refer you to a specialist if you need more targeted treatment. in other
countries most people have health insurance in some places health care can be very expensive
if you are uninsured.
4. In Hospital
you know what A&E means? A&E stands for accident and emergency. it's the hospital
department where you go if you have a serious medical issue. In American English it's
commonly called ER stands for emergency room. There are many sentence that can refer to a
'hospital' stuff, in each sentence there's a word missing,
- how long are they keeping them in? It means how long will he have to stay in hospital, they
refers to the hospital stuff
- do they have set visiting hours? Hospital visiting hours, when you can go and spend time
with your friends and relatives who are staying there. even if you need to go to hospital, you
might be an outpatient, meaning that you go to hospital, do what you need and then go home
again.
- i've never had to stay overnight in hospital. Based on the the previous point, its the opposite
is inpatient meaning that you need to stay overnight.
- hopefully he'll discharged soon. when you're ready to leave the hospital and go home, they
discharge you. you can discharge yourself earlier, but your doctors might try to persuade you
to stay longer. now let's look at our final section recovering from a health problem.
5. Talking about recovery
this language was used to a recovery stuff. Example :
- i'm feeling quite fragile. fragile is similar to weak, it's often used to describe things we can
break easily like China plates or things made of glass. If you're feeling fragile you feel weak
and Ill.
- i should get some strength back in a couple of weeks. If you're recovering from a serious
illness or an operation you'll need to get your strength back. you also had the phrase 'get back
to normal'.
- it's a big a wound, so that'll take a time to heal just by it self. A wound is an opening or a cut
in your skin. if you have an operation, the surgeon will need to make an opening in your skin
which needs to heal afterwards.
- one day at a time. finally 'one day at a time' is a phrase which means you focus on the
present, rather than thinking about the future. you can use it when you're dealing with a
difficult or complex situation. you can also use the longer phrase 'take things one day at a
time' for example : everything is so busy right now, I can't make plans for next year and I'm
just taking things one day at a time.

Visiting a Doctor
the second video explain about the difference between a Hospital and a Clinic. A clinic usually
only has one or two doctor working on there, so if you're really sick you should probably go to a
hospital and go to a 'Emergency'. Then whenever you're having a heart attack or something
really serious you should probably call an ambulance or 9 1 1. in Canada or the US they use 9 1
1, but in the UK they use 9 9 9.
In the Canada there are 'walk in clinic', you dont need an appointment to go there. You need to
fill the form if you haven't been there before, but if you have then you dont. The forms includes
your contact information, allergies and medical history.
This video also teach me the language to used to explain my condition when i finally see the
doctor.
