Текст 1 (Text 1) a Medical Checkup
If you need to get a checkup you should go to your doctor. It is he or she who gives you a complete examination. The nurse leads you into the examination room. In the examination room you need to take off your clothes and put on a hospital gown. Your doctor comes in and says “hello”. At first you stand on his scale and your doctor measures your height and your weight. After that your doctor takes your pulse and your blood pressure. Then he or she takes some blood for a blood analysis. He or she examines your eyes, ears, nose and throat. As a rule your doctor listens to your heart with a stethoscope, takes a chest X-ray and does a cardiogram (EKG). After the examination you can go and wait for the doctor’s call. He or she calls you next day and says the results. But sometimes if your doctor is too busy, the nurse does it.
