What is the problem?

Patient: Hello Doc.
Doctor: Hello! What is the problem?
Patient: I am ill. I have stomach ache.
Doctor: Oh, I'm sorry but I'm a dentist. Please open your mouth.

Okay, this short story should be an example for what we did last english lesson.
At the beginning we spent almost an hour to discus what can happen when you need a doctor abroad.
We talked about some problems with no english speaking repectionist when we need a doctor. Furthermore we discussed about the symptons that can be a sign of special illnesses, espeacially the symptoms of heart attacs.
For these cases some helpful vocabularies.

diarrhoea
This means you can not stop sitting on the bathroom thorne. OR
A condition in which faeces are discharged from the bowels frequently and in a liquid form.

vomiting
This means you enjoy your lunch twice. OR
Eject matter from the stomach through the mouth.

cold
Go out without clothes and jump into danube at this time and I'm sure you will get to know what a cold is. OR
A common infection in which the mucous membrane of the nose and throat becomes inflamed, causing running at the nose and sneezing.

trembling
Somebody call it dancing a call it trembling. OR
shake involuntarily, typically as a result of anxiety, excitement, or frailty

The symptomes for a "DOCTOR NOW!" call.
  • Pressure on my chest
  • Can't get enough air
  • My arm is numb (or was it bum)
  • A pain in the left arm
After this short intruction in the World of Medicine we listened to a presentation of the less-haired Dude, also know as Brad or Werner Pitt. The presentation dealed with "Compound Addectives"
We learned that a compound addectives is mostly used for the describtion of personal appearance or person's character.
Werner did a real good job. Well done, Dude.

Afterwards we had a look at the blogs that we wrote last week, especially Miris, Jürgen and mine.

Then we made some exercises form our course book.
And finally we got our homework.

Okay, I am going to bed now.
