When We Have Pain

When we have a headache, an earache, a stomachache, a toothache, a cold, a sore throat or a pain in some other parts of the body, we go to the doctor. He takes our temperature and feels our pulse. He listens to our heart and lungs. He examines our stomach and checks our blood pressure. He asks what hurts us, and tells what the matter is with us. He says, "You have caught a cold", "You have a slight temperature", "You have a flu (грип)", or "Your have a heart disease".

The doctor gives us a prescription. We must take the medicine. If we follow doctor's instructions, we get better. If we disobey the doctor, we may get worse. And when we don't get better at home, we must go to the hospital.
