Medical care is provided for us from birth to death. Medical care in our country is free or charge in state health facilities we must pay too, but only 30,-.
When we grow out of our children´s diseases such as a otitis, measles, mimos, rubeola or chicken-pox we don´t have to go to the doctor so often. If we are not hypochondriacs we try to get over our cold easily by staying in bed, taking pills, keeping warm, sweating, gargling and drinking herbal tea. But sometimes, if a patient is trying to overcome a feverish sickness without staying in bed, he takes a risk, as the illness often leaves very dangerous after effects.
If we still feel unwell, we finally decide to see a General Practitioner (GP). We need the doctor, when we are ill, or when we are hurt, or when something happens with our body - we can have a crash, broken leg… Especially in winter months we need the doctor, because a lot of us suffer from cold, flu… It is better to make an appointment with the doctor in his surgery time if we want to avoid long waiting in the waiting room which may often be crowded. Then the nurse says "Next please" and invited us into the consulting room. The nurse has to look for our medical record and wants to see our insurance card. Then we are ready to enter the surgery. The doctor usually asks what the trouble is and then asks us to strip to the waist because he or she must examine our chest and throat. The doctor wants to know if we have a temperature, a good appetite and where we feel pain. Then he or she listens to our lungs and heart and we have to take a deep breath or stop breathing according to his orders. He also wants us to open our month and say "Ah" to see if our tonsils are red. Sometimes the doctors checks the blood pressure and feels the pulse, takes the blood count and throat culture or puts urine trough lab tests. We have to say how we feel, if we have a headache, a sore throat, a cold, a cough, or if we are sick and hoarse. Finally the doctor diagnoses the case and therapy and prescribes a medicine. At the pharmacy we get antibiotics, vitamins, pain relievers and gargle. Medicine comes in different forms such as tablets, pills, capsules, suppositories, liquid medicine or ointment. We can also buy some medicinal herbs to prepare herbal tea."
