Text D

I went to my medical man. He is my old friend. He feels my pulse, and looks at my tongue, and talks about the weather, when I consider that I am ill. I thought I would do him a good turn by going to him now. “What a doctor wants,” I said, “is practice. He shall have me. He will get more practice out of me than out of seventeen hundred patients with only one or two diseases each.” So I went to him and saw him, and he said, “Well, what’s the matter with you?” I said, “I will not take up your time, dear boy, with telling you what is the matter with me. But I will tell you what is not the matter with me. I have not got housemaid’s knee¹. Why I have not got housemaid’s knee, I cannot tell you; but the fact is that I have not got it. Everything else, however, I have got.”

And I told him how I came to discover it all.

Then he opened me and looked down me² and clutched hold of my wrist³ and then he hit me over the chest when I wasn’t expecting it, and immediately afterwards butted me with the side of his head. After that, he sat down and wrote out a prescription and gave it to me, and I put it in my pocket and went out.

I did not open the prescription. I took it to the nearest chemist’s and handed it in. The man read it, and then handed it back.

He said he did not keep it.

I said, “You are a chemist?”

He said, “I am a chemist. If I was a co-operative store and family hotel combined, I might be able to give you such a remedy.”

Then I read the prescription. It ran:

“1 beefsteak with

Pint bitter beer every six hours

Ten-mile walk every morning

Bed at 11 sharp every night.

And don’t stuff up your head with things you don’t understand.”

I followed the directions with the happy result - speaking for myself - that my life was preserved and is still going on.

(Excerpt from “Three Men in a Boat” by Jerome K. Jerome)

Text E. Examination of the Patient

Before treating the patient it is necessary to make a correct diagnosis of the disease and to determine its aetiology, i.e. the causes of the disease. The doctor must know well the pathogenesis of any disease, i.e. the way and mechanism of its development, as well as the symptoms by which it can be revealed.

A number of different procedures is used to establish a diagnosis: history-taking, physical examination, which includes visual examination, palpation, percussion, auscultation, laboratory studies, consisting of urinalysis, blood, sputum and other analyses; instrumental studies, for example, taking electrocardiograms or cystoscopy, X-ray examination and others.

For determining a disease it is very important to know its symptoms such as breathlessness, edema, cough, vomiting, fever, haemorrhage, headache and others. Some of these symptoms are objective, for example, haemorrhage or vomiting, because they are determined by objective study, while others, such as headache or dizziness ( головокружение ), are subjective since they are evident only to the patient.
