Operation The surgical department is on the first floor of this hospital. This department houses 50 staffed beds. One can see patients with surgical diseases, such as appendicitis, ulcer of abdomen, tumor, carbuncle, phlegmon, etc. If an operation is necessary, the doctor insists on its being performed immediately. Operations are performed in a special operating theater (room). There is a large operating theater in this department. Here one can see two operating tables, instrument tables, a few small cabinets for suture material, dressings and instalments. Before the operation nurses prepare surgical instruments following the rules of aseptics After sterilizing them they put instruments on a special table covering them with sterile material. There are different instruments here. They are scalpels, syringes, surgical needles, scissors, wound clips, pincettes and a sterilizing drum. Before the operation the surgeon and his assistants wash their hands according to the rule> of surgery and put on sterilized gowns, caps and special masks on their faces. The patient is put on an operating table and covered with a sterilized cloth. Then a doctor or an assistant begins to narcotize the patient. When the patient has fallen asleep, the surgeor. disinfects the skin of the region to be operated on and begins to perform the operation. One assistant helps the surgeon during the operation. Other assistants listen to the heart, feel the pulse and look at the pupils. They use different ways of controlling the patient's condition During the operation special devices are used for artificial respiration and blood circulation The operation being over, the patient is moved to the ward.

III. Independent Work: Surgery Exercise 1. Read and translate the text. Surgery Treatment of injuries or diseases by operative techniques is the subject of surgery. The surgeon has always been an integral part of medical science. Early medical texts are chiefly devoted to records of surgical cases. Strangely, however, great advances in surgery have been dependent on medical discoveries in other fields. These advances include the discovery of ether anesthesia by Morton and Long in 1847; the discovery of the principle of antisepsis by Joseph Listen in 1865-87; and application of rubber gloves introduced by Halstead. The use of blood transfusion, control of fluid in the body and use of drugs for various symptoms have also aided success in surgery. Not many years have passed since the time when few surgeons dared to invade the interior of the abdomen. Today every portion of the human body has been invaded successfully. The surgery of today is called physiological surgery and is aimed at restoring (відновлення) normal function of various organs and tissues when these functions have failed. Exercise 2. Make up 6 questions based on the text. Exercise 3. Make up a dialog. You are a surgeon. You go on your morning round. Speak with the bed patient. Use the following instruction. Introduction 1.

Read the text, title it, answer the question: what thermometer should one better use to conduct scientific research? The simplest and most common of all is a liquid thermometer. Mercury is a particularly suitable liquid because of its high boiling point - 357.25°C, and its low solidifying point -39°C. The mercury thermometer is more accurate than the alcohol one. Thermometers are supplied with a scale. A. Celsius (1701-1744) proposed a scale on which the melting point and boiling point of water were taken as the limits. These points were taken as 0° and 100° respectively. This is now known as the centigrade scale and is universally used in scientific work. There are other scales in use: the scale introduced by D. Fahrenheit (1686-1736), the scale introduced by R. Reaumur (1683-1757), and the scale introduced by Kelvin (1824-1907) -absolute scale. They are used in special analyses. Notes: mercury - ртуть boiling point - точка кипіння accurate - точний melting point - точка плавлення scale - шкала Exercise 8. Read the text and retell it. Work of a Laboratory Assistant If a person consults a doctor, he must undergo different tests: blood analyses, urinalyses, biochemistry studies, stool ova or larvae of parasities test, bacteriological studies, histological studies, etc. All these tests are performed by a laboratory assistant. The laboratory assistant must remember that the bacteria with which he is working can produce a disease. So he must be very careful when he works with cultures, slides and all the material that may be in contact with living microorganisms. That's why he must remember the following rules: 1. Microscope slides and cover slips must be put into jars with disinfectant solution. 2. Don't moisten labels with the tongue. 3. Don't eat, drink or smoke in the laboratory. 4. Heat inoculating needles in the flame until red hot for sterilization. Do it before and after use. 5. Keep test tubes with cultures in test tube racks. The laboratory is equipped with different apparatuses and instruments. There are microscopes, analytical balances, distillators for obtaining distilled water as the running water contains various impurities, burners to heat solutions and thermometers. The apparatuses necessary for carrying out analyses are clamped to ring stands. When working in the laboratory, a laboratory assistant should put on a white gown and thoroughly wash his hands in running water before work and after it. A laboratory assistant must write down all the work carried out in the laboratory into the laboratory report book. All the observations during experiments must be written down into this book in the following form: 1. Title of the experiment and the date. 2. The object of the experiment. 3. Description of the methods used. 4. The names and description of organisms. 5. The results. 6. The conclusion of the results. Exercise 9.
