Text С

Andrew went to his first call immediately, with a wonderful sense, almost of relief.

He reached 7 Glydar Place, knocked breathlessly upon the door, and was immediately admitted to the kitchen, where the patient was lying. She was a young woman, wife of a steel worker named Williams, and as he approached the bedside with a fast-beating heart he felt the significance of this, the real starting-point of his life.

How often had he thought of it as in a crowd of students, he had watched a demonstration in Professor Lamplough’s wards! Now he was alone, confronted by a case which he must diagnose and treat unaided. Immediately he understood his complete unpreparedness for such a task.

Andrew Manson examined the patient with scrupulous care. There was no doubt about it, she was ill. She complained that her head ached intolerably. Temperature, pulse, tongue, they all spoke of trouble, serious trouble. What was it? Andrew asked himself that question¹ again and again. He was afraid to make a bad mistake or not to be able to make a correct diagnosis. It seemed to him that he had missed nothing, yet it was very difficult to group all the symptoms under the name of some definite disease.

Note

¹ Andrew asked himself that question - Эндрю задавал себе этот вопрос (himself - возвр. местоим.).

Text D. Tracheitis

Tracheitis [,treiki'aitis] is the disease in which the mucous membrane of the trachea [trə'kiə] is impaired. The disease usually develops in a weak organism, after a person has been in the cold environment for a long period of time, or after some infectious disease.

In such conditions the microorganisms such as pneumococci, staphylococci and streptococci which usually invade the upper respiratory tract multiply rapidly and produce the inflammation of the mucous membrane.

The main symptom of tracheitis is the cough, usually dry at first. But in a day or two it becomes productive. After the attack of cough the patient feels pain in the substernal area and in the throat. The general condition becomes worse. When the attacks of cough are particularly long, a bad headache may develop. In adults the temperature may not be high, but in children it may be as high as 39 °C.

The patient with tracheitis usually follows home treatment receiving a sick-leave for the period of his disease. The patient must be in a warm room wellaired. He may be administered aspirin or codein which gives some relief. Hemay also be recommended to have warm milk with soda several times a day.
