Unit 9


Most of the time we feel well. We can play sports, go to work and enjoy our lives. But sometimes we just don't feel well.
Some people have medical insurance buy most people can't afford it and rely on the National Health service.
For many people it could be all they need.
You many need to go to the chemist to by cough mixture or pills for a headache. There are lots of medicines you can buy it the chemist but for more powerful ones like antibiotics you need to have a prescription.If you can't get to a doctor, there are two other NHS services you could try. The first is NHS Direct.
For accidents or emergencies, you should go to a hospital wihch has got a specific Accident and Emergencies department.

But many people prefer alternative medicine. This can include many kinds of treatment using both very old and very modern techniques. One of the most common alternative treatments is the use of Chinese herds.

Hopefully these treatments won't be necessary. The best way to avoid getting ill is to have a health diet, get lost of exercise and take good care of yourself. You shouldn't then need to use the healthcare system at all!!!!
