text:IN THE SURGICAL DEPARTAMENT

You already know much about our family. Now I want to tell you about my father. My father is a doctor. He is a surgeon. He works at a large hospital in the surgical department. He works very hard. His work begins at nine. When he comes to the hospital he goes to his wards to examine his patients. He asks the ward nurse about the post-operative condition of his patients. She often tells him that there are no post-operative reactions. And sometimes she tells the doctor that the temperature of some of the post-operative patients is rather high and some of them have a swelling. The surgeon gives necessary instructions to the nurse and goes to the operating-room. He operates three days a week. I had my practice at the hospital where my father works and I learnt very much there.

The work at the surgical department is rather difficult but very interesting. I learnt much about surgical nursing, about the dressings of wounds and about the duties¹ of a surgical nurse.

Text:IN THE OPERATING-ROOM

I saw some operations during my practice in the operating-room. Yesterday an ambulance¹ brought a man to our hospital. The patients felt a severe abdominalpain. The doctor diagnosed appendicitis.

The patient was prepared for the operation and put on the operating-table. The doctor washed his arms and hands, dried them on a sterile towel, put on the gown, and the gloves. The assistant gave the patient anesthesia. The nurse gave the surgeon a scalpel and he began the operation. It lasted for about an hour and was successful.

Text:The Man Who Discovered Chloroform

Many years ago nobody knew about chloroform. And when the doctor operated on a patient, the patient suffered¹ great pain. A young doctor in Edinburgh [‘edinbƏrƏ] could not see how patients suffered during operations and he tried to find some medicine to help the patient to overcome² the pain. The doctor’s name was James Simpson.

Once he came home from the hospital with two other doctors. When he was looking for³ some papers on his desk he saw a little bottle. He remembered that one of his friends had sent him the bottle with chloroform. At that time people knew very little about chloroform.

James Simpson opened the bottle. Chloroform had a strong but not an unpleasant⁴ smell⁵. He decided to breathe chloroform in⁶ and see the results. The two doctors who were in the room decided to do the same. And so they did. As they breathed in the chloroform they became sleepy and soon fell into a deep sleep.

After the experiment Dr. Simpson began to use chloroform during his opperations. It was a very important discovery⁷. Doctors could operate on people without hurting⁸ them and it was easier for the surgeon to operate because the patient was calm and didn’t move during the operation.

Text: Nurses Work at the Surgical Department

From my practice at the surgical department I learnt some very important things that I think every nurse must remember :

1. When the nurse puts the dressing or changes it she must wear a mask

2. The nurses fingers must not touch any sterile material. The nurse must take

the swabs dressing or take put the stitches only with forceps

3. the nurse must keep the wound dry.

Most surgical wounds need careful attention. The nurse who takes care of the wounds must protect them from dust and make the dressing secure.
