A car accident, a car crash!

            The injured are taken to hospital by ambulance. They have been picked up on the road where the car accident took place by ambulance drivers and emergency specialists: emergency doctors and nurses.
First of all, the emergency doctor assesses the degree of urgency and pain felt by the patient, and places him or her in a position of maximum safety.
A stretcher-bearer puts the patient on the stretcher and prepares him for transport to hospital.
    On arrival in the emergency department, the patient is cared for by a new team of nurses and orderlies, surgeons if necessary and other doctors, and further tests are carried out.

When the injured man arrived at the hospital, he was seen by a nurse's aide, a stretcher-bearer, a health officer and a senior health officer as well ....

    .As he was found to have liver cancer during his examinations, it was shown to the oncologist and to the various specialists before operating on him: the cardiologist and the anaesthetist in particular.

He had blood tests and, a registered nurse took care of him to go home to the home nurse's care .

He thanked the operating room nurse and intern (or resident) who took care of him; And then, after he was discharged from the hospital, he was handed over to his GP.

As his wife was pregnant at the time of the accident in the car, she had to consult the obstetrician as well and for her face with a broken nose, she had to see the ENT.

I met with the words shoulder blades and chest not in use in my articleS until now

I also thought of a tricK: to illustrate literaryly the articles;ome extracts from famous books could help and procure feelings and words...

the story: morphine is one of them; and so many others from his souvenirs notebook.

As I read the words (non exhaustive  liste...)I find rarely used words:

hairiness, as one can see in teenagers nowadays, again,

nape -the nape of neck, which is the back part of the neck I think

moustache aux usa ne prend pas de u et voilà qui nous fait une belle jambe

ulna and fibula 

bedsore...

decubitus ulcer

upset stomach

stiff neck, neck pain, sore neck

all those words related to some form of pain, ache etc uneasyness...

it hurts! it is painful it aches

tender

tingling

bloated

casualty

bruise

bump

choking

nosebleed

poor health   means    not healthy

seafood allergy   dust allergy     allergy to some medications
