How To Be a Doctor: Anecdote


Daniil Kardashev’s first attempt – funny, but…

One day an old man came to the doctor complaining of sleeplessness and weakness. The doctor examined him and said, “Medicine won’t help you” and added “There is nothing wrong with you. All you need is a good rest. Go to the country, drink a lot of milk, breathe fresh air, eat plain food and smoke just one-two cigarettes a day”

  A month passed and the man came to see the doctor again. This time he was much better. “Well, how are you?” asked the doctor. ”I am fine, doctor”, said the patient. ”Thank you very much for your advice. I feel quite a new man now. But I must say these two cigarettes a day almost killed me at first. It’s no joke to start smoking at my age”

And again Ben woke up with the feeling that he would die very soon. He decided to go to the doctor and try to explain to him that he is sick. He went to different doctors and everyone sent him to hell. He went into the office to Dr. Heller and immediately said:

  - Doctor, I'm really ill. And I'd like to tell you all of my minor troubles and diseases. Sit comfortably and listen to the huge list of them. Firstly, I have nosebleed, headache, a scald, a bite. Secondly, yesterday I hurt my leg and when I wanted to relieve pain with ointment, I twisted my ankle. After that, I don't know how, I injured my arm. Moreover, I scratched my finger with paper and hit my little toe. It was very painful. Yesterday I was upset because I hurt every part of my body, and decided to disinfect my body with a bottle of whiskey. Then I mixed it with beer and champagne. Why did I do it? I was really upset. Later I felt giddiness and vomiting. And today I have hangover... Maybe I need take painkillers, aspirin, antibiotics or sleeping pills? Or maybe I must be operated on? Will my organs get inflamed?

It is true that to be treated by a good doctor is very important in our life. We know that only doctors can save our lives, help us to survive and cope with difficult situations in our life.

HOW I GOT INJURED: Julia Tsvetkova, 11b


How I Got Injured
Written by Julia Tsvetkova, 11b

It was unbelievable! I had got the second fracture in my life. I didn’t even think would get injured again, but it happened. Once, during rehearsal, we were jumping over a huge rope, as it was part of our dance show. It was necessary, because we had to have a concert on the occasion of the ending of the dance season. We were exhausted, but continued to exercise. When it was my turn to jump, I did it and suddenly twisted my ankle. I will not lie, it was painful, but not to the point of losing consciousness. My leg wasn’t swollen; there weren’t any bruises, so I just sat to have a rest. The next day it hurt too and I didn’t know what I should do. So I continued to practice dancing, went to the local sanatorium to get some help and tried not to notice the pain.

True Story
Told by Maria Kostenko, 11b

  I want to share with you a true story which happened with me about three months ago, which reveals the drawbacks of healthcare system in Ukraine. That was not a pleasant experience for me and now I will tell you why. Well, I had a running nose without any additional symptoms such as a fever, a sore throat, sneezing and others, however, also l had splitting headaches especially in the evenings. I can't say that was unbearable, but a incessant snivel made me go to hospital. My father until the last moment said that everything was ok and this was a stupid idea. That was the end of the summer, so he thought I just exaggerated.

The Story About How My Day Was Ruined
(based on real events)

Written by Ira Stepanova, 11b

  That was a normal day… Neither gorgeous, nor awful… Everything was okay. I was sitting at my last lesson; there were no signs of trouble.

Suddenly, it began to rain heavily. Heavy drops started to drum on the windows and windowsills. I sadly looked at the street, because my parents couldn’t pick me up from school. I sighed, pulled the hood over my face and ran. By the way, I live far from my school and when I got home I was in a “fabulous” mood.
