How to Talk about Injuries, Health Care,...

BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

In this English lesson I will help you learn vocabulary that you can use to talk about injuries, health care, and medicine. I'm a bit of an injury expert right now as I recently hurt myself while playing baseball. In this English lesson I'll relate my story, and I'll also help you learn some English along the way.

In this English lesson you'll learn words and phrases like: to hurt yourself, to injure yourself, to call an ambulance, emergency room, to diagnose, to treat, painkiller, ice pack, swelling, sling, crutches, wheelchair, x-ray, ct scan, and many more!

I hope you enjoy this English class about injuries!

Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right here: https://youtu.be/oO4y4d-3Eus or by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian Injuries"
