[00:10.55]Have you noticed that in every school there's a place for students auts,

[00:16.20]wounds and some other minor problems to be treated?

[00:21.05]Do you know what this place is called?It's called an infirmary.

[00:27.30]LiMeng:Oh,on!Jeff,have you got any tissues?

[00:31.87]Jeff:Yeah.Here,what hapened?

[00:35.71]Gee,let me give you a hand.What did you do?

[00:40.67]LiMeng:Nothing.I just wanted to cut this piece of paper.

[00:45.53]The paper slipped and the scissors fell and cut my leg.

[00:50.78]Jeff:I think you should go to the infimary to have your cut treated.

[00:55.82]They've got a first-aid kit there.

[00:59.66]LiMeng:There's no need.It's hardly bleeding now.

[01:04.10]Jeff:I still think you should go.It would be too late if you got an infection.

[01:10.48]LiMeng:OK then.The infirmary is on the first floor,right?

[01:15.94]Jeff:Yeah.And the lady working there is called Mrs.Penn.

[01:21.50](LiMeng goes out of the classroom to the infirmary

[01:26.54]and returns a few minutes later.)

[01:30.80]Jeff:Got it treated?The band-aid should be good.

[01:35.56]Did Mrs.Penn ask you any questions?

[01:40.00]LiMeng:Yeah.Things like my name,class and how it happened.

[01:45.67]She put those things down in a notebook.

[01:49.61]Jeff:Did it hurt when she treated your cut?

[01:53.68]LiMeng:Very little.It was over in a couple of seconds

[01:58.13]Good thing,it wasn't serious.

[02:03.17]Otherwise if I had to go to a hospital,I would have to pay a lot of money.

[03:46.53]Thank,mum.Speaking of cuts,there's one thing I'd like to know,if I may ask.

[03:53.38]Mrs.Davis:Sure.What is it?

[03:56.85]LiMeng:A classmate asked me if I have medical insurance.I was doubtful.

[04:03.62]I have no idea.So....

[04:07.17]Mrs.Davis:I see.Of course you have.

[04:11.72]The school sent materials about medical insurance to your parents

[04:17.49]and I remember they chose Healthy Plus for your sister and yourself.

[04:23.24]Both of you are young and healthy,so Healthy Plus is enough.

[04:29.01]You must have seen those forms.

[04:32.95]LiMeng:I remember filling out a lot of forms

[04:37.21]and it was difficult to tell which was which.

[04:41.57]Mrs.Davis:Don't worry.Both of you are insured.

[04:46.25]Your parents have already paid the premium.

[04:50.32]LiMeng:The premium?Is that the money for the insurance company?

[04:55.78]Mrs.Davis:Good guess.Your parents pay a small premium to the company each month.

[05:24.86]I wonder what's inside.

[05:28.10]Daniel:We've got a small one in our bathroom.

[05:32.17]Let me show you...here,see,bandages,dressings,slings,scissors and aome safety pins.

[05:42.44]LiMeng:Very interesting stuff.Do you know how to give first aid?

[05:48.00]Daniel:I've learned some,but I've hardly had any chance to do anything.

[05:53.57]Nothing bad has happened.

[05:56.91]Oh,I know.Suppose both of us fell from a bike,what would you do?

[06:03.15]LiMeng:What would I do?Stand up first and then help you stand up.

[06:09.21]Daniel:Wrong!

[06:11.96]LiMeng:Wrong?Shouldn't I help you?

[06:15.82]Daniel:It would be good if you could.

[06:19.27]But your first action should be check for danger to yourself.

[06:24.34]You should check me only when you're sure you're OK.

[06:29.30]LiMeng:That's strange!Isn't that selfish?

[06:33.85]9.Listen,read and learn.

[06:39.31]Do you have a family doctor?

[06:42.96]If you have a cold,a headache,or an earache

[06:47.64]and you don't have the time to see a doctor,

[06:51.72]what would you do?

[06:54.46]Would you rather wait until you have some free time

[06:59.03]or leave your sickness unattended?

[07:03.29]Both choices are not good.

[07:06.95]What you need to do is to find a doctor for yourself or your family members.

[07:13.19]Nowadays,family doctors are more and more popular.

[07:18.15]When faced with a medical problem

[07:21.81]many people feel frightened and unsure of whom to trust,

[07:27.27]Family doctors can help with the wide range of health problems

[07:32.55]that may affect any family member,

[07:36.80]from babies to senior citizens.

[07:41.06]They offer help with any illness,injury or health question.

[07:47.02]Family soctors give most of their care in homes and offices,

[07:52.76]but also sometimes work in hospitals.

[07:57.62]While you are looking for a family doctor,

[08:01.46]you should look for the doctor who understands,

[08:05.69]respects and answers your questions;

[08:10.42]who can help you and your family feel comfortablw to be open and honest;

[08:16.48]who van be available for your problems on an ongoing basis.

[08:21.94]Once you have a family doctor,

[08:25.81]you will want to be able to talk openly and honestly

[08:30.67]about any matter with your family doctor.

[08:35.21]To do this,your doctor may need an understanding of your language and culture.

[08:42.06]Good communication with your family doctor is very necessary.

[08:47.49]During visits for medical problems,

[08:51.44]your family doctor

[08:54.78]can also help you make healthy lifestyle choices to prevent future problems.

[09:01.62]As your family doctor and yourself get to know each other

[09:06.59]a bond of trust develops.
