44 Lesson 4 Reading Medical Emergencies 1. Most hospitals have emergency clinics. These clinics are intended for people with serious medical problems or for victims of accidents in need of immediate medical attention. Some people, however, go to emergency clinics for common medical complaints, such as indigestion or fever. Their presence only aggravates the wait-time in an emergency clinic. A nurse responsible for triage will ask you questions about your present medical problem and about your medical history. He or she ll also ask to see your medical health card. If your medical condition is serious, you will probably get to see a doctor fairly quickly. If your condition is severe, you may have to stay in the hospital. If your condition isn t serious, you ll likely have to wait a very long time to see the doctor, sometimes as long as eight hours or more. After your consultation, the doctor will likely advise you to go to a medical clinic for the follow-up. True or False ACCORDING TO THIS ARTICLE: 1. You should go to a hospital emergency clinic when you have a sore throat. 2. A person who needs stitches from a deep cut can get treated at an emergency clinic. 3. The nurse or medical receptionist won t ask you for your medical health card. 4 There are often long line-ups in emergency clinics because many people go there when they have only minor medical problems.

132 Supplementary Exercises Reading 4. Plants as Alternative Medicine Some people believe that common household plants have good effects on their health. Read the short herbal descriptions below. The gel in the Aloe vera plant heals wounds, burns, and reduces the risk of infection. It is also useful as a laxative. Basil reduces stress and can be used to treat colds and reduce fever and joint pain. It also can be used to treat itching, insect bites and skin rashes. Thyme can be used to treat coughs and chest congestion. It also improves digestion and destroys intestinal parasites. Lavendar tea made from blossoms is used as an antidepressant. It is used in combination with other herbs for a remedy for depression and nervous tension and stress. It is also used as a headache remedy. Marigold is known for treating all sorts of skin problems. It soothes burns, sunburns, skin irritations and rashes and heals bruises. It is also used to treat tonsillitis. Garlic is known to lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure, improve circulation, prevent the formation of blood clots and exhibit mild activity against infections. There is some evidence that people whose diets include large quantities of garlic are at lower risk for certain cancers, but studies conflict regarding this effect. Ginger is an excellent herb to use for fighting off colds, sore throats and the flu. It removes congestion, soothes sore throats, and relieves headaches and body aches. It is also very effective in combating motion sickness. Jasmine tea is drunk for its calming affect, especially after dinner, as well as for its aphrodisiacal qualities. Jasmine oil is used in aromatherapy to treat depression and nerve conditions, and as massage oil for menstrual cramps. Page 128
