The Polyclinics

   The polyclinic is a medical institution which protects the health of our people.

   If a patient falls ill, he rings up his local polyclinic and call in a doctor. When his condition isn’t very bad he will go to the local polyclinic and a physician (doctor) will examine him there.

   Many specialists including therapeutists, neurologists, surgeons work in the polyclinic. During the medical examination a physician usually listens to the complaints of the patient and according to the complaints he carries on the examination.

   In addition to the consulting hours at the polyclinic local physicians go out to the calls to examine those patients who are seriously ill and whose condition is bad. Such sick patients receive sick-leaves. They usually follow a bed regimen.

   Any physician of the polyclinic knows his patients very well because he treats only a definite number of patients. At the local polyclinic every patient has a personal patient’s card. When a physician fills it, he writes down the diagnosis of the disease, the doctor’s administrations, the course of the disease, and the changes in the patient’s condition after the treatment.

   If it is necessary a nurse will come to the patient’s house to give him the administered injections or to carry out any of the doctor’s administrations.
