ответить на 1 вопрос In Britain, most people who fall ill are treated at home by their family doctor. Not all illnesses
can be treated at home, however, so many people are admitted to hospital at some time
during their lives.
Arranged Admissions
A patient who goes into hospital as an arranged admission has previously attended an
outpatient' clinic to which he has been sent by his family doctor.
At the clinic he is examined, his previous history is taken, and all the necessary
investigations are carried out.
If admission is recommended, his name is put on a waiting list and when a bed in an
appropriate ward becomes vacant, he is sent a letter which tells him when to report to the
hospital for admission.
With this letter, most hospitals enclose a leaflet telling the patient what he will need while he
is in the hospital. The leaflet also outlines the general ward routine and gives details of
visiting hours .

Emergency admissions
Nowadays, many people go into hospital as a result of accidents or sudden illnesses. These
patients are called emergency admissions.
They are often seriously ill and in need of immediate care and attention.
Unlike arranged admissions, little or nothing is known about emergency admissions or their
previous histories. They are usually taken to the casualty and emergency department by
ambulance. They are often unconscious.
Sometimes they are accompanied by friends or relatives who are able to supply at least their
personal particulars.
In the casualty department, they are examined and all the necessary investigations are
carried out. If possible their previous history is taken. The appropriate ward is notified that
the patient is being sent up so that the necessary preparations can be made.
