So let's imagine for a second that you're in a lovely English-speaking country.
You're enjoying the early hours of the morning and you think "it's the perfect time to go jogging!"
You put on your workout gear, tie up your shoes and off you go into the distance.
While you're running you're enjoying the fresh air and the fresh breeze, and you think to
yourself "things can't get any better than this." But hey they can get a lot worse. All of a sudden
you take a misstep and you fall down into a muddy puddle. Not only are you a total mess
but you've also twisted your ankle, you can't put any weight onto it and think to yourself
"have I sprained my ankle? Have I broken my ankle? Oh no! I can't walk! What am I going to do?"
So now you're faced with having to go to the hospital and you can't use your native language.
God forbid, I hope that never happens to you. If this kind of thing happens
in your own country you still have to explain what exactly happened to your doctor, right?
And I imagine trying to explain what happened in English might be a little intimidating.
So that's why in this lesson I'm going to teach you some of the vocabulary
you're going to need if you have to speak to a doctor in an English-speaking country.
I'm also going to teach you some general health-related vocabulary,
true to our style we'll be doing this by watching different clips from TV shows and movies.
But before we get started I want to tell you that we help you understand
real life English without getting lost, without missing the jokes and without subtitles!

Aw yeah! I hope you found this lesson both informative and fun.
We saw just a small fragment of all there is to learn when it comes to hospital English.
You're now better prepared to talk to a doctor about your experiences if you
find yourself in an English-speaking country. I recommend you continue feeding your curiosity
by watching some of the shows we use as examples in this lesson,
like House, Scrubs and Grey's Anatomy. Don't forget using your body can really
help you get your message across, in fact I made a great lesson on how you can use body
language to help you communicate your message. To watch it next simply click up here or down
