“Health is above wealth”
• There is nothing more important than health. “Health is above
wealth”, wise people say, because you can’t be good at your studies
or work well if you don’t take care of your health.
• If you complain of a sore throat or a bad cough, if you run a high
temperature and have a bad cold, if you have a headache, heart
disease, toothache, backache, earache or a bad pain in the
stomach, if you suffer from a high or low blood pressure, you
should consult a doctor.
• The doctor will take your temperature, examine you, feel your
pulse, test your blood pressure, sound your heart and lungs and
have your chest X-rayed if necessary. After that he will prescribe
you some treatment (pills, tablets, mixtures or some other
medicine) which you can buy at the chemist’s. In order to
complications he will recommend you to stay in bed for some days.
If you want to recover soon, you have to follow the doctor’s
instructions.
