:there are many professions on earth, but the profession of a doctor is the most ancient among them. many centuries ago people tried to treat each other. medical students should know two symbols of medicine: the first is the snake giving its poison into the cup. it means wisdom and healing – the aims of medicine. the second symbol is a burning candle which reflects the inner essence of this profession. “aliis inserviendo consumor” – “giving light to others i burn myself”. a physician is a health care provider who deals with promoting, maintaining or restoring human health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, injury and other physical and mental impairments. they may focus their practice on certain disease - known as specialist medical practitioners - or give medical care to individuals or families - known as general practitioners. medical practice requires both a deep knowledge of the academic disciplines (such as anatomy and physiology), underlying diseases and their treatment — the science of medicine — and also a decent competence in its applied practice — the art or craft of medicine. the ethics of medicine require that physician show consideration, compassion and benevolence for his patients. a doctor should know that a great profession comes with great responsibilities. he cures diseases by giving medicine and other kinds of treatment. he must examine his patient thoroughly, send him for analyses or x-ray, and only then he can make a correct diagnose and administer appropriate treatment. he may give advice about diet, exercise, and how to get well and keep fit. he has to know how to talk to sick people, to make decisions and handle emergencies. the doctors should always be prepared to take frequent refresher courses throughout the career because a good doctor must be up to date. the life-path of a doctor is a real challenge to his abilities and personality. so if you are strong enough, you’ll be able to cope with all the difficulties and will be on guard of a great treasure – human health. 3. заполните пропуски подходящими по смыслу словами: 1) a physician is a … who deals with promoting, … or restoring human health. 2) he must examine his patient … . 3) a good doctor must have deep knowledge in academic disciplines and a … competence in applied practice. 4) the doctor can make a correct diagnose and … . 5) a general practitioner deals with treatment of disease, injury and other physical and mental … . 6) he has to know how to talk to sick people, to make decisions and … . handle emergencies, administer appropriate treatment, maintaining, thoroughly, decent, a health care provider 4. подберите дефиницию для слов из левой колонки: consideration compassion a physician decent competence to maintain -when you think about smth carefully -a strong feeling of sympathy and sadness for the suffering of others and wish to help them -socially acceptable or good -to continue to have; to keep in existence -the ability to do smth well -a medical doctor, especially one who has general skill and is not a surgeon 5. ответьте на вопросы: 1) who is a physician? 2) what may they focus their practice on? 3) is there any difference between general practitioner and specialist medical practitioner? 4) what does medical practice require? 5) what must a good doctor show for his patients? 6) how does a doctor see his patient? what does he usually do? 7) what advice may a doctor give to his patient? 8) why must a good doctor be ready to take refresher course? грамматика имя существительное. морфологические признаки. образование множественного числа. прочтите § 1 раздела имя существительное в грамматическом справочнике на стр 274-275. 1. образуйте форму множественного числа существительных: month, horse, flower, potato, book, plan, bridge, match, nose, bus, box, army, carrot, watch, onion, shop, address, day, fly, hotel, lady, key, gate, clock, office, city. 2. распределите существительные по колонкам в зависимости от того, как произносится окончание множественного числа: friend, cinema, bottle, lake, bus, glass, bed, boy, hat, cap, tape, shop, brush, bench, box, disease, theory, result, technique, function, method, purpose, field.
