2. The Health Service
The level of medical service both in Britain and the USA is very high. Health care is free in England (except private Health care) and every employed citizen is obliged to pay a weekly amount of money to the National Health Service. The sum necessary to run medical services is very high and a large part of it comes not from weekly payments but from taxes.
Health Care is very expensive in the USA. Everything must be paid for. For example, in the USA if you turn to a city hospital, you should pay at least $50. Separately you will pay for a consultation, minimum $50-60 for a visit. Medicine will cost you a minimum of $15-20. You need a prescription to purchase many drugs in American drugstores.
If you are a foreigner, you can get medical service free of charge in medical institutions attached to different charities and religious organizations. The National Health Service (NHS), UK, provides free medical treatment for visitors from the EU and Commonwealth countries and to visitors from other countries with reciprocal health arrangements. An NHS prescription costs Ј5.25 at present.
3. A Visit to the Doctor
Doctor. Well, what is the trouble? You are looking rather unwell, I must say.
Mr. Brown. You had better ask me what is not trouble with me, Doctor. It seems to me that I am suffering all the illnesses imaginable: headaches, earache, insomnia, indigestion, pains in the stomach, muscle pains, appetite loss. To make things worse I've caught a cold, I've got a sore throat, so I'm sneezing and coughing all the time. I feel hot and feverish. I get short of breath. Actually, I feel more dead than alive.
Doctor. I'm sorry to hear that. Anyway, I don't think things are as bad as you can imagine. Let me have a look at you. I'd like to listen to your chest. Your heart, chest and lungs are not too bad. Now let me see your throat. Yes, it looks a bit sore. Show me your tongue. Have you taken your temperature?
Mr. Brown. Not yet, but I guess I should.
Doctor. Well, I don't find anything radically wrong with you.
But it is clear that you're run down, and if you don't take care of yourself, you may have a nervous breakdown. So first of all I advise you to stop worrying. Take some rest, have regular meals, keep off alcohol. If possible, give up smoking, at least for a time. Have this tonic made up and take 1 tablespoon three times a day before meals.
Mr. Brown. What about diet, doctor?
Doctor. Well, keep to a diet of salads and fruit, and a bit meat. If you do this I can promise you a full recovery.
Mr. Brown. But if I don't?
Doctor. You have to decide what is the lesser evil — to follow my advice or prepare for a better world!

You're feeling weak, shivery, with an aching head, back and limbs. Your temperature's up over 38°C (100°F). Probably you're sweating a lot, you've lost your appetite and you feel sick. You've got the flu. There's no quick cure. The flu - influenza - is caused by a virus. And viruses can't be killed with antibiotics. Only the body's own defense system can get rid of them. The flu can last from 24 hours to several days.
You've got your own defense system here's how to make it work:
Stay indoors, keep warm, and keep away from other people as much as possible so you don't pass on the infection.
Have plenty of cool drinks - water, fruit drinks, milky drinks. About 2-3 litres a day.
If you feel shivery or feverish, with a temperature over 38°C (100°F) or aches or pains, try taking aspirin every 4 hours during the day. Consult your doctor and rest in bed if you can.
Try to have 3 light meals a day. But don't force yourself to eat if you've lost your appetite.
Keep the flu to yourself. Stay away from other people. Make sure handkerchiefs and also plates, knives, forks etc., are always well washed.
Look after yourself by resting in bed and having lots of cool drinks.
There's no need for the doctor unless the flu persists for more than a few days or gets suddenly worse. But if you are elderly and in poor health, or if you suffer from a severe chest condition like bronchitis or asthma, then the flu can become a more serious illness.
So remember:
• When there's the flu about, try to avoid crowded places and keep away from anyone who's got flu.
• If you think you've caught the flu, get in touch with your doctor. Then he can at least keep an eye on you.
• In the autumn, ask your doctor if he thinks you should be vaccinated against the flu.
