Doctor	Good morning, Mr Crock. How are you today?
Crock	Not very well, doctor.
Doctor	Well come and sit down and tell me what's worrying you.
Crock	I've got terrible stomach ache, Doctor.
Doctor	How long have you had this pain?
Crock	Well, it started yesterday afternoon and I was terribly sick during the night.
Doctor	Take your clothes off, please, Mr Crock, and lie on the couch. No, don't take your trousers off. Just your jacket and shirt. Now, tell me where your stomach hurts you. Up here, or here in the middle, or down here?
Crock	It hurts all over.
Doctor	I see. It's probably nothing important, but I want you to have an X-ray.
Crock	You don't think it's serious, do you?
Doctor	I'll decide when I see the X-ray, so get dressed now and follow the nurse.

Reporter	Dr Wellman, we hear a lot these days about health and fitness. Can you give us some tips on how to stay healthy, avoid illness and live longer?
Doctor	Well first, eat the right food and the right amount. Research has shown that many illnesses - such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure - can be prevented or controlled by a balanced diet.
Reporter	How much should we eat?
Doctor	It depends, but you should try to control your weight by burning up calories with physical activity.
Reporter	What kind of food is best?
Doctor	Eat a variety of foods, especially vegetables and fruit and foods which are low in fat, such as fish.
Reporter	You mentioned exercise. Should we all start jogging or working out at the gym?
Doctor	Physical activity helps to prevent heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and other disorders. But you shouldn't overdo it. Start slowly and keep at it. Walking can be just as good for you as jogging.
Reporter	What about alcohol and smoking?
Doctor	A little wine is fine, but if you smoke, give it up! It can damage your health.

It has always been essential in medicine to record and communicate information, but modern healthcare services are so large and complex that they now include a new service, Health Informatics. People in Health Informatics help to plan and implement research, they find new ways of making laboratory test results and x-rays available more quickly. They develop systems to free clinical staff from paperwork, allowing them to spend more time treating patients. They work to cut waiting lists and make sure that hospital beds are available when they are needed. Health Informatics staff also run the systems that allow health staff to communicate with each other, to access information, order supplies and book patient appointments. They work in hospitals, clinics and GP surgeries. They also work in fields such as social care and teaching hospitals.

Transcription :

Massage has existed for a long time, and many variations exist. Some methods aim at the restoration of function lost during surgery or because of immobility due to accidents or age. Masseurs use other methods with patients born with a disability or who have developed a disability due to a disease such as polio. Many massage techniques are used simply to provide general relaxation, improve the circulation, or remove stiffness after exercise.

Nowadays the physiotherapist often replaces the masseur. Physiotherapy uses a variety of techniques such as exercise, massage, manipulation, traction and some forms of hydrotherapy. Another aspect of physiotherapy, of course, is rehabilitation after injury or surgery. Physiotherapists also deal with rheumatic diseases, using specific techniques applied to the neck and low back areas.

Physiotherapy is a good career choice for blind and partially sighted people, and provides many opportunities for employment on completion of a recognised physiotherapy course. Blind and partially sighted physiotherapists work in all areas of the profession, including high levels of clinical speciality, management, private practice, sports clinics, research and teaching.

Cet exercice peut également se faire uniquement au niveau phonétique ou oral :

[?]
