 Read the following passage (1)
General Practitioner Typical Day

Dr. Friendly is up at 6:44 (her alarm was set for 6:30 but she hit snooze a couple of times), takes a speedier
than usual shower, eats a smaller than usual breakfast and then gets on the road. She parks in her reserved
space at the medical center at 7:45, just enough time to check her messages before her 8:00 appointment.
[Paragraph 1]

Between 8:00 and 9:30, Dr. Friendly sees 10 patients. Yes, you read that right- ten. There is a flu going
around, and most of her patients are here to see her for that reason. She prescribes an antiviral medication, to
each of them, suggests they get rest and drink plenty of fluids. [Paragraph 2]

At 10:00 she has a daily clinical meeting where she gets together with the other doctors and they discuss
cases of particular concern. There may be a patient with symptoms that are unfamiliar to one doctor but
which another doctor has had some experience with. This opportunity to bounce ideas off one another is a
particular benefit of working in a medical center alongside other skilled, knowledgeable doctors rather than
working basically alone in private practice. Eleven heads are better than one. [Paragraph 3]

 Read the following passage (2)
Between the end of this meeting and lunch, Dr. Friendly sees another 8 patients. A few more flus, a sprained
ankle, someone else who has been experiencing a sharp, stabbing pain every time she blinks her right eye.
(Turns out it was an eyelash). She also squeezes in some time to dictate a couple of letters to her assistant and
arrange for a few blood tests. [Paragraph 4]

After polishing off her salad for lunch, she goes back to work. Dr. Friendly sees another 17 patients in the
afternoon and into evening, including a couple who need injections, one patient with chest pain who is
referred to a specialist, and another with chest pains who is simply wearing a shirt that’s too tight.
[Paragraph 5]

At 6:00, Dr. Friendly checks her messages one last time and finishes up making phone calls before closing up
shop and heading home to her husband. [Paragraph 6].

La tipica giornata di un medico

La Dottoressa Friendly si sveglia 6:44 (la sua sveglia è impostata alle 6:30, ma la spegne un paio di volte), fa
una doccia molto veloce, mangia una colazione molto piccola e si incammina. Parcheggia nel spazio
riservatole al centro medico alle 7:45, giusto il tempo per controllare i messaggi prima del suo appuntamento
delle 08:00.

Tra le 8:00 e le 9:30, La Dottoressa Friendly visita 10 pazienti. Sì, avete letto bene dieci. C'è un’influenza in
giro, e la maggior parte dei pazienti sono qui per vederla per quel motivo. Prescrive un farmaco antivirale, a
ciascuno di loro, suggerendogli di stare a riposo e bere molti liquidi. [Paragrafo 2]

Alle 10:00 ha quotidianamente un meeting medico, dove si riunisce con gli altri medici per discutere i casi di
particolare preoccupazione. Ci può essere un paziente con sintomi che sono sconosciuti a un medico, ma con
cui un altro medico ha avuto qualche esperienza. Questa opportunità di scambiarsi idee l'un l'altro è un
particolare vantaggio di chi lavora in un centro medico insieme ad altri medici informati, qualificati
piuttosto che lavorare praticamente da solo in uno studio privato. Undici teste sono meglio di uno.

una distorsione alla caviglia, un altro che mostrava un forte dolore lancinante ogni volta che sbatteva il suo

suo assistente e prescrivergli alcuni esami del sangue. [Paragrafo 4]
