Lesson 20 VALIDATION COPY 1.0 JUNE 2007 ሃኪም፡ቤት፡ውስጥ Hakim bait wost In the Hospital This lesson will introduce you to:

- The vocabulary related to the medical emergency and life-saving measures - The terminology related to internal organs - The ways to ask questions about the vital signs.

Health care in Ethiopia is very poor; there is a great shortage of doctors, nurses and medical professionals. Also, there are very few hospitals with modern technology to perform complex surgery or to diagnose illness. There are state-run hospitals in major cities, and several private hospitals and clinics. Most people cannot afford private health care since there is no medical insurance; therefore, they go to state-run hospitals that are free but are not the best. The private hospitals are modern, but only the rich can afford them. People in rural areas have to travel for days to get health care at state hospitals. There is an ER, but the ambulance service is not nearly as efficient as it is in the West, so people do not use it as much. It is very important to know how to communicate in case of a crisis where medical attention is needed. Students should expect a chaotic situation where it is difficult to do their duties because of mass crowds gathering at the scenes of disasters or at a place where someone is hurt. Everyone will try to intervene, either to help, or to take advantage of the victims. One must always take along a native who speaks the language. In Lesson 17, you already learned the names of human body parts, how to ask questions about a person’s state of health, and how to describe health conditions and symptoms of sickness. You also know how to handle the visit to the doctor’s office. In this lesson, you will familiarize yourself with the vocabulary used for life-threatening health conditions, such as heart attacks, gunshot wounds, severe bleeding, and head injuries.
