11、 you settling in next door? Have all your things from Canada arrived yet? I thought I saw a removals van outside your house yesterday afternoon. MRS SUTTON:Yes. They came yesterday. We spent all day yesterday arranging thin. Its beginning to feel a bit more like home now. MRS SMITH:Thats good. Look,
12、come in and sit down. Are you alright?You look a bit worried. MRS SUTTON:Well,I am a bit. Im sorry to bother you so early,Mrs. Smith, but I wonder if you could help me. Could you tell me 1mw I can get hold of a doctor? Our daughter,Anna,isnt very well this morning and I may have to call somebody out
13、. Q11 She keeps being sick and I am beginning to get a bit worried. I just dont know how the health system works here in England. All I know is that its very different from ours back in Canada. MRS SMITH:Well,I dont know really where to start,Let me think. Well,the first thing you have to do is find
14、 a family doctor-sometimes we call them general practitioners as well-and register with him or her. If you live here,youve got to be on a doctors list. If youre not, things can be a bit difficult. Nobody will come out to you if youre not registered. Anyway,they work in things called practices. Sort
15、of small groups of family doctors all working together in the same building. Q12 Now what youve got to do this morning is register with one of them. There are two practices near here,so were quite well off for doctors in this part of Manchester. Theres the Dean End Health Centre about ten minutes wa
16、lk away and theres another practice in South Hay. Thats about five minutes away going towards the town centre. Were registered at the Dean End one,but theyre both OK. Q13 There are about six doctors in our practice and four in the other. Q14 So ours is quite big in comparison. And the building and e
17、verythings a bit more modern. South Hay is a bit old-fashioned but the doctors are OK. Their only problem is that they dont have a proper appointment system. Sometimes you have to wait for ages there to see someone. Q15Anyway,you go to the receptionist in whichever health centre and ask her to regis
18、ter you with a doctor there. You have to fill in a form,but it doesnt take long. Ours is called Dr Jones and weve been going to him for years - ever since we moved here fifteen years ago. I wouldnt say lies brilliant but I suppose hes alright really. Were used to him now. They say hes very good with
19、 elderly people, Q16but he does tend to get a bit impatient with children. Listen,the one whos supposed to be really good with small children is Dr Shaw. Ive heard lots of people say that. Shes young and shes got small children of her own. So you could try registering with her. And if her list is fu
20、ll,I heard somebody say the other day that theres a really nice young doctor at South Flay,a Dr Williams. He holds special clinics for people with back trouble. But thats not really your problem,is it? Q17MRS SMITH:If you want a doctor to visit you at home,you have to ask for a home visit. Youre sup
21、posed to do that before 10.30 in the morning,but obviously,if its an emergency, you can phone at any time,night or day. It might not be your doctor that comes,though. Its quite often one of the other doctors in the practice. It doesnt really seem to make much difference. Otherwise you make aim appoi
22、ntment to see your doctor at the health centre. You usually get seen the same day. Not always of course,but usually,as I Say. They hold surgeries between 9 and 11.30 every weekday,and from 4 to 6.30 Monday to Thursday. Saturdays are only for emergencies. Q18 When the doctor sees you,he gives you a p
23、rescription. He writes what medication you need on it and you take it to a chemists shop. Theres one opposite the centre. If its for a child under 16. you dont have to pay. So if its for Anna,theres no problem. The same thing goes if youre unemployed or retired,or if youre pregnant. Q19 Just as well
24、 because its not cheap. You pay the same price for each item the doctor has prescribed. At the moment its something like 5 per item. Q20 So you pay for the medication but the consultation with the doctor doesnt cost you anything. Its completely free as long as youre a resident here. Youre going to b
25、e here for three years,arent you?So there shouldnt be any question of you paying anything to see the doctor. So thats one less problem to worry about, Look,Mrs. Sutton. If you want,Ill sit with your daughter for half an hour if you want to go clown to the health centre to register. Its no trouble re
26、ally,dont worry. MRS SUTTON:Are you sure you wouldnt mind?That would really help me a lot,Ill ask them if they can send someone round later to see Anna. I think Ill try the Dean End Centre. MRS SMITH:Good idea. Dont worry about Anna. MRS SUTTON:Right. Ill be back as soon as I can. SECTION 3-1-3 TUTO
