8. At the Doctor's, Health, Human body

Human body is very complicated. During the time people have been exploring new information about human body. Last well-known event (ivent-událost) was discovering of entire human genome, which can provide all information about each personal physiology, health, possible diseases (dizízis-nemoci). It's not new information for each of us that the human body has head, neck, arms, breast, belly, legs. On the head there are several important organs. There are eyes, nose, mouth, ears. All 24224w227y these sense organs are controlled by brain. Arms are ended by hands with fingers. Legs have feet with fingers as well. So this is a simple anatomy. Human body has another several organs which body uses for receiving food. So inner body there is for example stomach, kidneys (kidni-ledvina). Next there are some organs which are needed to breath. So there are for example lungs, but the main organ is of course heart. All these organs and parts of the human body are under attack by many kinds of viruses, diseases day by day. So people are often ill. The most problematic part of the year is spring and autumn. Wet weather with temperature above zero provides good conditions for viruses. So this time people are suffer from common infections such as a flu, angina. They have a high temperature, cough and sneeze. Next few days they have to spend in bed and drink hot teas, take pills, drops and vitamins. Sometimes people fall ill by their own fault. They have eaten a bad food so they have for example indigestion. Good treatment is to be careful and eat clear known food. So generally to prevent diseases and to prevent infections it's good to eat fruit with wide spectrum of vitamins. Good is kiwi, oranges, lemons. As a supplement we can use vitamins in pills too. To avoid health problems I use it daily and I am satisfied with it. Generally it's about improving immunity. People should avoid to the stress, practice more sports, don't smoke and drink so much alcohol. All professional sportsmen know what the injure is. Other persons who suffer with worse injures go to the hospital. In the hospital there are many kinds of doctors. They are e.g. surgeons, interns, oculists, ear and throat specialists. First attention to patient give general practitioners. Mainly they have their own office, where they measure blood pressure, check the throat, feel the pulse, take samples of blood etc. Own office have also dentists. Many people are scared when they hear about the dentist only. I don't like dentists too but I am not so scared when I have to visit them. On the other hand I have good dentist, she works very fast and good. Of course it hurts when she drills my tooth, but it's a moment only. When she fills it next it doesn't hurt me.

Doctors are helpful but sometimes people require quick help. For example after car crashes. Every car should be equipped by first aid kid. It helps during first aid, and sometimes it even saves lives of people.

Medical care in our country is free of charge, although there are many private doctors. We do not pay for prescriptions or for some medicines. But for other medicines, especially for those from abroad, we must pay.

For a long time the state has been looking after each of the citizens - even before birth. There are medical check-ups before child is born. Then comes medical care during pre-school and school age, up to old age. The term "free medical care" include many type of medical treatment - from seeing your doctor because of common cold to the most complicated operation. The Health insurance system is undergoing some changes at present. If we have ill or have an accident, we go to the Health Centre, Policlinic, Hospital or to some Private Doctor. We can mostly chose your doctor.

They check our blood pressure, feel the pulses. They may X-ray our lungs or bones. We must go through many types of vaccination during our lives.
