A dialogue between the mayor and the hospital director

A: Mr Hecky, welcome to Blackwell Community Hospital. I am honored you decided to attend

our modest opening ceremony. Before we begin the tour of the facility, I would like to thank
you for your personal involvement and endeavors, which greatly contributed to the
construction of the most modern medical center in the region. We are also very grateful for...

B: Sorry to butt in, doctor, but I have a very busy schedule today and only came to see what so
much public money was spent on.

A: Ahem. I totally understand that, taking into account the fact that you yourself might end up
being an inpatient some day.

B: Get on with it, doctor. This is the east wing, right? What's that place over there, near the
entrance, with A&E sign flashing above? We only treat American and English citizens or what?
A: That's not quite right. A&E stands for Accidents & Emergency, which is a department where
patients come without prior notice.

B: So are they treated there and then go home?

A: Well, those who are not severely injured and whose life is not in danger, are asked to consult
a specialist at one of our clinics for a detailed diagnosis. Can you see a large sign saying
'Neurology' on your right? Patients are sent there if it is suspected their condition is related to
problems with their nervous system. Opposite is a sign which says 'Cardiology', where patients
suffering from heart disorders are sent. At a clinic, patients may be given some medicine, which
a doctor picks up from the pharmacy at the end of the hall. We also have many patients who do
not stay in the hospital, but only come in for treatment. In such a case, we call them
outpatients.

B: What about people after accidents or with serious conditions, you know, when an ambulance
brings them?

A: Well, they are taken upstairs, where we will go now. This is where patients with severe
injuries or diseases are transported. On your left you can see operating rooms, where surgeries
are performed.

B: Surgery? I heard that can be very painful.

A: As long as anesthetics are administered, a patient does not feel a thing.
B: Right. What about that room on right, with all that fancy equipment?

A: This is the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where patients with the most severe and life-threatening
injuries are provided care. Frequently, people who were involved in a traffic accident are taken
there.

B: How long do patients stay there?

A: It may be a few days or a couple of weeks, it depends on the severity of injuries. When their
condition improves, they are transported to a ward, where they remain until discharged.

B: Which means they are healthy and can go home?

A: Well, they can go home, but may need further treatment. Very often physiotherapy is
necessary, particularly in case of victims of accidents, to recover fully.

B: I understand. What about the west wing?

A: Let's go there. Originally that part of the building was a university hospital. Twenty years ago
it was adapted to serve as a psychiatric ward. Now its first floor addresses needs of female
patients. There is a gynecology clinic, a maternity ward and a neonatal unit, where newborn
babies are provided treatment if necessary.

B: What about the second floor?

A: The oncology ward is located there, where cancer patients are treated. As they often suffer
from agonizing pain, we located the palliative care there, which ...

B: I have to go, doctor. But I have one final question to you - if in the future I need some advice,
where do I go?

A: I am very sorry, Mr Hecky, but the funds that were available to us were not sufficient to build
the geriatrics ward. I am afraid it will have to be Stanton General, only 30 miles from here.

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS:

¡Recuerda que las respuestas deben ser con tus propias palabras, por lo tanto deben prestar atención
al plagio, ya que ante cualquier intento la guía será anulada!

1. What do you think is the main idea of the dialogue?

The main idea is the ceremony of the opening of the hospital and the participation of the mayor in the
construction of the same in the same way he is given a tour to know everything that is there

2. How would you describe Mr Hecky´s personality? Who is him?

Mr Hecky's is the mayor, I think he was very ignorant when he said that he was only going to see what and why
he spent so much public time in the construction of the hospital since it is logically that this requires a lot of
funds
