The quantized text « Work of an In-patient Department»

(by textbook Maslova A.M., Winestein Z.I., Plebeyskaya L.S.,

–Essential English for medical students. p.152)

At the Reception ward

When patients are admitted to the hospital first of all they are received the direction from on duty at the reception ward.

Those patients who are to be hospitalized have already received the direction from the polyclinic. The nurse on duty fills in patients’ case histories in which she writes down their names, age, place of work, occupation, address and the initial diagnosis made by a doctor at the polyclinic.

Instructions of a doctor on duty.

Then a doctor on duty examines the hospitalized patients and gives his instructions what department and wards the patients are to be admitted to.

The life at the hospital.

At the in-patient departments of a hospital life begins early in the morning. The nurses on duty take the patients’ temperature, give them intramuscular and intravenous injections, take stomach juice for analysis, apply cups and give all the prescribed remedies in the does indicated by the ward doctors.

Keeping Drugs

The nurses keep all the drugs in special drug cabinets. All the drugs have special labels (этикетки). The names of drugs are indicated on them. Patients are not allowed to take the medicines themselves because some drugs are poisonous, the overdosage of some other drugs may cause unfavorable reactions and even death.

The doctor’s daily rounds

At about nine o’clock in the morning the doctors begin the daily rounds of the wards during which they examine all the patients. After the medical examination the doctors administer the patients different procedures: electrocardiograms are taken, laboratory analyses of blood, urine and gastric juice are made. Some patients are to follow a diet to relieve stomachache or prevent unfavorable results in case of stomach troubles. All the doctors always treat the patients with great attention and care. There is no doubt that such a hearty attitude of the doctors to the patients helps much in their recovery.
