1. READING AND VOCABULARY
1.1. Прочитайте отрывок из блога студента-медика, в котором он описывает свой обычный день.
A Typical Day in Medical School:
Tom Mallory, a first-year medical student, wrote in his blog:
7:00 AM – My alarm clock rings. I quickly turn it off. 5 minutes later my second alarm goes off. I get up and go to the bathroom. I brush my teeth. Then I go to the kitchen and eat breakfast. After breakfast I pack all my notes, my textbooks and my laptop into the backpack.
7:45 AM – I walk to school.
8:00 AM – The first lecture of the day begins and usually the classroom is only 70% full.
8:30 AM –At this time I either increase my concentration and focus on the lecture or… begin checking my e-mail.
8:45 AM - The daily messages begin to flood my inbox: faculty e-mails, student announcements and people looking for rent or selling their old textbooks. Sometimes there are personal e-mails from friends and family.
9:00 AM - Break time. I get up, stretch, and go to the washroom.
10:00 AM – Students fill the hallway to the anatomy lab. The smell of formaldehyde is one that you don’t forget easily. Time always passes by quickly in the lab as we dissect our cadavers.
12:00 PM - Lunch hour. I hang out with friends, make necessary phone calls and catch up on some studying.
1:00 PM - On alternating days, we either have small group learning or clinical skills teaching. If it is a small group session, ten or so medical students along with the instructor begin discussing the case prepared for that week.
3:00 PM – If it is a clinical teaching day, we practice our history taking and physical examination skills, learn about different diseases. Clinical teaching is the most enjoyable time for me.
5:00 PM - My day at school officially ends, but the real work begins.
5:30 PM - I usually go to the gym for a quick workout or relax a bit.
6:00 PM – I study for an hour.
7:00 PM – I cook dinner. I often eat it either in the company of friends or school notes. I also like to cook my meals in bigger portions and pack the leftovers for lunch.
8:00PM – 10:00PM – I study again. There’s an awful lot of stuff to learn in medicine.
10:00 PM – I spend this time on messages, Facebook and answering e-mail. Taking a shower is nice, too.
11:00 PM – 2:00 AM. I usually study most productively at this time. I like to study and work until I feel tired and go to bed. As you can see, medicine is not a 9-5 job, especially as a student when there is so much to learn.

ОСНОВНОЙ УРОК 1.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A GP
Vocabulary : Один день из жизни врача общей практики
Grammar : Настоящее простое время, настоящее длительное время, прошедшее простое время
1. READING AND VOCABULARY
1.1 Прочитайте и переведите текст. Ответьте на вопрос: В каких трех значениях в тексте употребляется слово surgery ?
A Day in the Life of a GP
My name is Alison Thompson and I am a GP. It means I am a general practitioner. I don’t work in a hospital; I work in a surgery. A surgery is a medical center for the local community. If you’re a new patient living within our catchment area, you can register with our surgery.
I work with five other doctors, three nurses, two lab technicians, a physiotherapist, a pharmacist, a health visitor and a receptionist. We organize shifts of a locum GP if any of the doctors is absent. On Saturday mornings we work on a rota.
When our patients have dental problems, they contact their dentists in normal working hours. If the problem is urgent, they call the emergency contact number. There is a rota of dentists who deal with emergencies out of working hours.
I always wake up quite early -- at 6 in the morning, because I’m on call at 7. To be on call means to take emergency calls from patients. Some mornings I have no calls, but usually I speak to one or two people about a problem.
I arrive at the surgery at 8:45 and start work at 9. Lots of people usually want to see me and wait in the reception area. Some people have a minor problem like a sore throat, a runny nose, a rash, a slight fever or headache; others can’t sleep at night or feel nauseated. Sometimes I deal with more serious cases (e. g. diabetes) and refer my patients to specialists. Every day is different.
My surgery hours are from 9 to 11:30. But I always work until 12 non-stop. I have no coffee break, and sometimes no lunch, either. I always have a lot of paperwork: I write referral letters, send and receive messages, file and scan documents into patient records. I usually do this at lunchtime.
In the afternoon, we have another two hours to see patients. It is the time when we give vaccinations, e.g. for influenza, and perform minor surgery such as removal of warts and moles.
After that, I may have a meeting with the other staff. Sometimes I go to other surgeries for meetings or have home visits.
I have some problems, of course. I don’t like all that paperwork. And I don’t like patients who are rude or aggressive to me or the other staff in the office.
I get home at around 6 or 7 o’clock in the evening. I always take paperwork home. I have 15 or 20 blood and urine test results, X-ray and MRI reports every day and I check them at home. Sometimes I’m on call again or visit more patients.
I have no problems with sleeping. In the evening I feel so tired that I fall asleep immediately.
