Exercise 5. Read and translate the text.

Hospital

Hospital is a special medical institution that where treatment and prevention of various diseases and protection of people’s health are carried out.

When patients are admitted to the hospital first of all they are received by a nurse on duty at the reception ward. The nurse on duty fills in patients' case histories in which she writes down their names, age, place of work, occupation, address and the initial diagnosis made by a doctor at the polyclinic. Then a doctor on duty examines the hospitalized patients and gives his instructions what department and wards the patients are to be admitted to.

At the in-patient departments of a hospital the nurse on duty takes the patients' temperature, gives them intramuscular and intravenous injections or sets a dropper, takes stomach juice for analysis. She also leads the patients to different procedures such as gastroscopy or ultrasound of the abdominal cavity organs. The nurse gives all the prescribed remedies in the doses indicated by the ward doctors.

The nurses keep all the drugs in special drug cabinets. All the drugs have special labels. Patients are not allowed to take the medicines themselves because some drugs are poisonous, the overdosage of some other drugs may cause unfavourable reactions and even death.

At about nine o'clock in the morning the doctors begin the daily rounds of the wards during which they examine all the patients. After the medical examination they administer the patients different procedures: electrocardiograms are taken, laboratory analyses of blood are carried out.

There are special dental hospitals (maxillofacial surgery) where patients can undergo different dental operations and are treated for many diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face and jaws. Placement of implants (the type of tooth restoration) is also carried out at dental hospitals. Dental hospitals also have in-patient department where patients stay at the hospital at night and out-patient department where patient come to the hospital to get different procedures.

All the doctors always treat the patients with great attention and care. There is no doubt that such a hearty attitude of the doctors to the patients helps much in their recovery.
