 A.   Health  services  in  Britain
If you  fall ill, we must  get in touch with  a doctor. In Britain, under the National Health Service (NHS), this costs you nothing.If you are too ill to  go out, you may phone his surgery  and the doctor will come to your house, but normally you have to go to the surgery for the consultation.
   Most doctors operate an appointment  system. It means, that you can phone your surgery  and make a date with the  doctor, so that it isn't necessary to wait too long at the surgery before seeing the doctor.
   Everybody is free to choose a  general practitioner (GP) in his own home area. In towns,it is usual for three or four GPs to join together in  partnership. Family  practitioner services  include, besides  GPs, dentists, pharmacists, and opticians. If you need a special treatment, you must  see your GP  and he send  you to a  specialist at the  local hospital.
   In an emergency (e.g. an accident at home or in the street) you can call an ambulance by dialling 999 from any telephone.
   Most  drugs  can  only  be  obtained  from  a  chemist  if you have a prescription  from  the  doctor,   but  some  simple  medicines  are available without  a prescription, e.g.  aspirin, cough mixtures,  and the like.
   A large  proportion of 3,000 district  general hospitals in Britain were  built  in  the  19th  century.  Some  developed  from charitable institutions.
   Hospitals, where medical students get practical training are called teaching hospitals.
