APassage
In Britain people usually have a doctor near their home or in their town.This is the local doctor.
You have to register with a doctor before you can make an appointment.You usually have to fill
in a form and the doctor examines you.Families often all register with the same doctor.
Doctors often work together in groups,and the name of the place where they work is a Doctor's Surgery.The government pays for this system,and it is free to go to see your doctor.
If the doctor decides that you need treatment he can prescribe medicine.For example he can prescribe antibiotics for an infection.Medicine can be tablets to take with water or liquid to drink. The doctor writes the prescription.You take the prescription to the chemist's,and the chemist will
make up the medicine for you.You usually have to pay some money for the medicine---but you
don't have to pay the full price.
