10. At the Doctor's
If we caught cold, have a splitting headache, have a clogged nose, cough, are running high temperature, we must go to the policlinic. First we come to the registry. The registry clerk on a duty asks our name, address, age and occupation. He writes out some slips because several specialists will examine us. Some of them will listen to our heart and lungs, some will check up our kidneys, liver, stomach, eyesight, and hearing. The others will make our blood analysis, take our blood pressure and x-ray us.
If you have a cold, for example, a doctor may write you out a prescription for some medicines: pills, powder, drops, and mixture. He also advises you to take a scalding footbath, to put a hot water bottle to your feet, to have hot tea with raspberry jam. That keeps your fever down. You should also follow the prescribed treatment to avoid complications. You should always take care of yourself; go in for sports because sports make you strong, healthy and cheerful. Every day do morning exercises and have a cold rubdown to prevent yourself from catching cold. There is a good proverb: An apple a day keeps doctor away. That's why you should eat a lot of fruits and vegetables.
