1. What you think being a cardiologist involves?

In my opinion, cardiology is a very important specialization because these doctors specialize in

the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the heart and blood vessels, meaning the
cardiovascular system, as we know the heart is perhaps the most important organ of all.

But these doctors do not work completely alone, they need a support team so that everything
goes well at all times, this team can be Nurses, who help directly in the treatment of patients,
receptionists who are responsible for the registration and order of patients.

In short, cardiologists do a great job to cure heart diseases and detect them, a heart that works
well helps to support life.

2. All of the statements below are true. Find information in the text to support each statement.

Dr. Herderson's team is very skilled because their work is vital to the smooth running of the

2- The work of her team depends on the support of other people.
None of your work would be possible without the support of other people in the hospital
team-the triage nurses, the receptionists, and so on.

3- Details about the closest relative are taken from patients.

When patients arrive for the first time, personal information is taken like kin for contact in
case of emergency.

4- Patients have two numbers ( other tan their phone number) on their hospital records.
Their have NHS number, and their unique hospital number

5- The data collected need to be accurate.

They deal with a large catchment area and also deal with referrals from outside the area,
tourists, visitors to A&E, private patients, and so on, so the potential for confusion is great
unless the data that are taken are accurate and the systems secure

6- Checks are carried out to make sure patients are who they say they are who they say they
are.
At various stages of patients contact with the hospital information is checked to make sure
it is correct and that the patients can confirm their identity
