March Week Four

Thanks to my visits to the hospital over the weekend, I was inspired to focus this week's topic on doctors, hospitals, ailments and healthcare.

Listening:
For learners, try A Patient at the Hospital, Medical Care and Health Insurance, or Sick Dad Listening Lesson.

For original version, try one of the talks by the amazing Atul Gawande, such as How Do We Heal Medicine? Or watch a documentary called Sick Around the World comparing healthcare systems in several different countries.

Reading:
Learners can read a variety of short texts about Health and Medicine, or any of these texts of Reading and Listening for Healthcare Workers.

If you're looking for something in original version, read an article about the possible harms of unnecessary medical care or Why Obamacare is So Controversial.

​Writing:
This week for writing, please write an essay responding to the following prompt: How do heredity, environment and available healthcare affect your health?
Best,
Kelly
