Speaker 1 (00:00):
Learn UK English but podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Hi Rachel, Hey Neil, how are you doing.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
I'm doing well. How about you?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I'm not feeling that great today, to be honest.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Oh no, what happened.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well, I came down with a cold on Sunday night
and I'm still recovering. But I'm still feeling a bit rough.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Oh I'm really sorry to hear that.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Thanks. I hope I get better soon.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
So I thought today we could record a podcast episode
about health problems and illnesses.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
That's a great idea. It fits perfectly with the topic,
doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yeah, exactly. So there are lots of different health issues
and illnesses, and I'd like to go over the vocabulary first.
Then we can chat about the simple you've been experiencing.
Does that sound good?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Absolutely sounds good to me.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
All right, let's start with some common skin conditions people
can have.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Go for it.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
So there are skin problems like wrinkles, sores, warts, scars, spots, itching, freckles,
dondrufh and blemishes. And then we have pain, back pain, earache,
chest pain, stomach ache, headache, toothache, cough, fever, sneezing, and

(01:40):
a sore throat. There are also more serious conditions like aneurysms, asthma, appendicitis, bronchitis, cancer, cirrhosis, diabetes, pneumonia, tubercle,

(02:01):
and the list goes on.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
That's quite a lot.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
It is a lot. So how are you feeling right now?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, I'm feeling much better now, but earlier in the week,
my whole body was aching. I had a bad headache,
back pain, right stomach pain too, and my ears and
throat were hurting.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Oh, dear, so you had the flu.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, I had the flu.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
And how long have you been feeling like this?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
It started on Sunday night, and by Monday morning I
felt worse. It got worse as the day went on.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
How do you think you caught it? Rachel?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I think I got it from my dad.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Actually, Oh, was your dad sick?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yes, my immune system was probably a bit weak because
I'd had a cold earlier, and since he was ill
at home, I think I picked it up from him.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Ah, that makes sense. So what are you doing right
now to get over this flu?

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Well, I'm wrapping up warm, eating healthy, and making sure
to dress properly when I go out so I don't
get too cold. Uh huh, taking medication to help with
the aches, and resting a lot, getting plenty of sleep.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Did you go to the doctor.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yes, I went to the doctor yesterday because I was
a bit worried. I was feeling some chest pain.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Right.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I was concerned it might be pneumonia because I've had
it twice before.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Oh and what did the doctor say.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
He said it was likely muscular pain from all the coughing,
but just to be sure, he asked me to do
an ECG to rule out anything heart related.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Did you do it?

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah? I did, and the results were normal. So nothing's
wrong with my heart. It's just the coughing that's causing
the muscle strain.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Ah, I see, Rachel. In the UK, does going to
the doctor cost anything?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
No? Here, healthcare is free and we have what's called
a GP or general practitioner.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yes, we've got the same here in Scotland. You have
a GP which stands for general practice tisher exactly. So
when you need to see the doctor, you just call
your medical center and book an appointment. I had to
take my son to the doctor this week because he

(04:13):
wasn't feeling well either.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Oh no, poor little one.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, So, Rachel, what medication did the doctor prescribe for you?

Speaker 2 (04:24):
He only gave me paracetamol because the flu was already
easing off and it wasn't anything serious. The paracetamol was
just to bring down the fever and ease the pain.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Ah, I see what medicine were you taking before you
saw the doctor.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Before seeing the doctor, I was already taking paracetamol and
another medicine, which is a combination with muscle relaxance.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
When you get sick, how long the colds and the
flu usually last for you.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, I rarely get as sick as I am now.
Usually I just get colds, maybe a bit of a
runny nose, a slight headache, that sort of thing. But
when I do get the flu, which is rare, it
usually takes about five days to recover.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
You're pretty healthy then, huh.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah. Normally I don't get sick, but when I do,
it hits me hard.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Same here. I usually don't get sick all year, but
when I do, it can last a week or up
to three weeks. Last time I was bedridden for three weeks.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Oh wow, I remember that. You were really unwell?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, you remember, right, I do.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
That was awful. Was it the flu as well?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah? It was the flu. Once I had this terrible
chest pain and when I went to the doctor, they
did an ECG and ran loads of tests because I
told them it felt like a heart problem. But it
turned out to be just a virus.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Oh that's tough.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yeah, it was well, Rachel. I hope this episode has
helped our listen listeners learn more about health problems, definitely,
and if they're ever on holiday or living in an
English speaking country like the UK or elsewhere, they can
feel confident about seeing a doctor and understanding what's being said.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
They shouldn't be afraid to see a doctor just because
of the language barrier.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Right exactly.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
It's really important to get checked when you're feeling ill.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Absolutely, Rachel, thanks for joining us today and I hope
you feel better soon. Thank you so much, and we'll
catch up in the next episode for sure, speak soon,
