Examination of the Patient
Before treating the patient it is necessary to make a correct diagnosis of the disease and to determine its aetiology, i.e. the causes of the disease. The examining doctor must know well the pathogenesis of any disease, i.e. the way and mechanism of its development, as well as the symptoms revealing it.
A number of different procedures is used to establish a diagnosis: history-taking; physical examination, which includes visual examination, palpation, percussion, auscultation; laboratory studies, consisting of urinalysis, blood, sputum and other analyses; instrumental studies, for example, taking electrocardiograms or cystoscopy, X-ray examination and others.
For determining a disease, it is very important to know its symptoms, i.e. the signs of a disease. They are breathlessness, edema, cough, chill, vomiting, fever, haemorrhage, headache, rash, swelling and others. Some of these symptoms are objective, e.g., haemorrhage or vomiting, because they are determined by objective study, while others, such as headache or dizziness are subjective, since they are evident only to the patient.
The physical examination includes three stages: general examination; local examination; examination of body systems.
On general examination, the patient is examined from head to toes: this helps to estimate the physical and mental state of the patient. The doctor also determines the patient’s weight and height, observes his facial expression, movements, speech, state of lymphatic nodes, muscles, bones, joints.
On local examination, the doctor examines the patient’s head, eyes, nose, ears, oral cavity, neck, thyroid gland, etc. to estimate the functional state of particular parts of the body.
Examination of body systems includes the study of the respiratory, endocrine, nervous and other systems. On this stage, the doctor applies the technique of palpation and percussion to determine whether the borders of internal organs are normal or abnormal. By means of auscultation he can reveal rales in the lungs in case of pneumonia or bronchitis, or heart murmurs if a patient suffers from cardio-vascular diseases.
Laboratory analyses are important as well. Blood analysis revealing leukocytosis immediately indicates the presence of inflammation in the body. Urinalyses help to reveal the presence of urinary tract infections such as cystitis, nephritis or pyelonephritis. Analysis of sputum is performed to confirm the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
Instrumental procedures also help to determine health problems. Electrocardiograms are necessary to monitor the heart work. X-ray usually shows the borders and structure of the internal organs, fractures and fissures, accumulation of liquid in the lungs, etc.
So, examination of the patient is a complex procedure helping to timely reveal diseases or dysfunctions of any organs and start their treatment.

Exercise 6. Read and translate the text:
At the Pharmacy
Pharmacy is an institution of health service. It supplies the population with medicines and medical things. It is a place where a wide variety of medical products are sold and prescription can be made; drugs are dispensed and stored. There are different types of pharmacies: municipal, public, private. Each pharmacy has a chemist's department where a consumer can buy over-the-counter drugs and a dispensing area where drugs are sold by prescription only. All medicines are kept in drug cabinets, open shelves and refrigerators at a pharmacy.
At the pharmacy, a person can buy different medicines such as antipyretics, antibiotics, emetics and anti-emetics, laxatives, sedatives, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc. that are sold in the form of tablets, capsules, drops or dragees. However, poisonous, drastic, narcotic and psychotropic drugs are sold by prescription only at the dispensing area. As they are potent, they can be dangerous if taken in an overdose. Therefore, their use is strictly controlled.
There is also a wide variety of things for medical care sold at the pharmacy: adhesive plasters, cotton wadding, gauze, disposable syringes, inhalers, enemas, hot water bottles, thermometers, tonometers, etc. Besides, a person can find medical herbs, vitamin and mineral supplements, various kinds of phytotea at the pharmacy.
Every small bottle, a tube or a box of medicine has a label on it. White labels indicate drugs for internal use, yellow ones indicate drugs for external use and blue ones indicate drugs used for injections. The dose to be taken and the directions for the administration are also indicated on a label. Besides, all containers of dispensed medicines have the following particulars: name of the patient, name of the medicine, correct dosage instructions, date of dispensing, expiry date, warnings or contraindications, name and address of the pharmacy. It prevents confusing different remedies, some of which are poisonous. Their overdosage may cause unfavourable reactions and sometimes even death.
To buy potent drugs it is necessary to receive a special medical document from the doctor, i.e. prescription. As a rule, prescriptions are written out in Latin abbreviations in continental Europe. The only exception is the “signature” section which contains directions to the patients. That’s why European medical schools require up to two years of Latin as part of the curriculum for medical doctors and pharmacists.
In Great Britain all prescriptions are written out in the English language only. The English don’t use any Latin abbreviations to avoid ambiguity and misunderstanding which may lead to serious consequences. If they do use any Latin abbreviations they are quite wide-spread and easy to read (such as p.o., a.m., p.m., p.c., o.d., nocte and so on).

Human body
The human body refers to the entire structure of a human being.
The principal parts of the human body are the head, the trunk, and limbs (extremities).
The head consists of 2 parts: the skull contains the brain and the face including the forehead, the eyes, nose, the mouth, the cheeks, the ears and the chin.
Each eye has the eyelids and the eyelashes that grow along the edge of the eyelids. There are the eyebrows over our eyes. The eyes serve as the organ of sight. The eye consists of the cornea, crystalline lens, and pupil.
The nose is the organ of smell through which we breathe.
The ear includes 3 principal parts: the external ear, the middle ear and the internal ear. The ear is responsible for hearing and balance.
The mouth has 2 lips: the upper and the lower lip. The tongue which is the organ of taste, teeth and hard and soft palates are located in the mouth.
The head is connected with the trunk by the neck.
The upper part of the trunk is the chest. The principal organs in the chest are the lungs, the heart and the esophagus (gullet).
The lower part of the trunk called abdomen consists of the stomach, the liver, the spleen, the intestines, the kidneys, the gallbladder and the bladder.
The surface of the body from the neck to the buttocks is called the back.
The waist is the narrow middle part of the body above the hips.
When we speak of the upper extremity we mean the arm. The upper extremity connected with the chest by the shoulder consists of the upper arm, the forearm, the elbow, the wrist and the hand. We have 5 fingers on each hand which allow grasp the objects. A short finger set apart from the other is called the thumb. Each finger, starting with the one closest to the thumb, has a colloquial name to distinguish it from the others: index finger (pointer finger, forefinger), middle finger (long finger), ring finger and little finger (pinky finger, small finger, baby finger). Fingers contain some of the densest areas of nerve endings on the body, are the richest source of tactile feedback, thus the sense of touch is intimately associated with hands.
The lower extremity called the leg consists of the hip (thigh), the knee, the calf, the ankle and the foot. The foot is composed of the toes, the heel, the sole and the arch. The nail is a hard part at the end of a toe and finger.
The framework of bones called the skeleton supports the soft parts and protects the organs from injury. The bones are covered with muscles.
The body is covered with the skin.
