Vocabulary: Emergency - First aid... - English lesson

Well well...  Nobody likes this topic...  Yet, if necessary, you have to know how to speak about it! 

Let's go! This lesson is 'Guaranteed painless!'  

A hospital with a helicopter (or a chopper) landing on the roof. ( = emergency services)	a nurse	a hospital room	a doctor

We go to the doctor's to relieve the  pain we suffer from  ...

To hurt = to ache  [eik] ; ache is used in many expressions : 

an eye ache                                         an ear ache 

a headache                                          a shoulder ache 

a toothache                                          a stomach ache 

a backache                                           a tummy ache (familiar)

BUT a heartache is abstract (you have a broken heart) and you have a sore throat (when your throat is aching.)

To have X-rays	a broken leg	to suffer from backache	To walk with crutches
a (medical) walker	a wheelchair	A sprained-ankle	To have a bruise
To have a fever (a temperature)	A stethoscope to examine the patients	An injection	To have a sore throat
To have a splinter	Tweezers	A (sticking) plaster (UK); a band-aid (US).	To faint
