VISITING THE DOCTOR

The first time you visit a new doctor, you should talk about your medical history - the illnesses you have had, any operations you have had and so on.

Your doctor might want to give you a check-up. A check-up will include monitoring your blood pressure, as high blood pressure is serious and can lead to life-threatening conditions. Your doctor will probably also take your pulse to check that your heart rate is normal. A doctor uses a stethoscope to listen to your breathing - particularly if you have a heart or chest infection, or a condition such as asthma.

Of course, you can also visit the doctor for a huge range of other reasons.Children need to have their injections and if you are going abroad on holiday, you might also need to have injections against infectious diseases.If you need medication, a doctor will write you a prescription.

You can get your prescription filled at a chemist. For more serious medical conditions, you can get a referral to a clinic or a hospital. You might need blood tests done, or an X-ray, or you might need to see a specialist.

TYPESOFDISEASES

Health has 1 (tradition) been defined as the freedom from disease.Disease is a 2(disorder) state of a tissue, organ, system or organism during which this part can’t function normally. In many cases, the terms disease, disorder, morbidity and illness are used interchangeably.

Humans have suffered from illnesses since they 3(one) appeared on the earth about 2,5 million years ago.In those times treatment was based largely on superstition and guesswork. Medicine has made tremendous progress in the last several hundred years. Today, it is possible to cure, control or prevent hundreds of diseases. Nowadays there are about sixty thousand diseases. It is quite clear that if we want to put an end to at least a small part of them it is necessary to organize a process of training doctors and pharmacists at a high level.These 4 (specialist) must have good knowledge in order to avoid mistakes in the process of diagnosing and treatment.

There are 5 (differ) types of diseases.Such as inherited, infectious, allergic, nutritional, toxicdiseases that make patients suffer.Diseases can strike almost any part of the body.Besides diseases can be 6(classify) as contagious and non-contagious, inherited and non-inherited, and as diseases, which have different causes, such as 7 (poison), or immunologic.Many diseases are tightly connected with our lifestyle or profession (e.g.illnesses caused by the lack of 8 (move) as most office workers have).

And of course we can also speak of illnesses, which occur chiefly in certain climates and 9 (geography) regions (e.g.tropical disease – malaria).

Each type of diseases should be treated by specially trained specialists.Medical specialists, psychologists, social workers help patients and their families cope with chronic, acute or terminal illnesses and handle problems that may stand in the way of recovery or rehabilitation.They also advise family caregivers, counsel patients, and help plan for their needs after discharge by arranging for at-home services – from meals-on-wheels to oxygen equipment.

But we can help our body to fight and prevent many diseases ourselves.Organism itself is a complicated machine and has barriers against infections.And as the best treatment is 10 (prevent) we should carefully look after ourselves, keep a healthy lifestyle.
