HOW THE EMERGENCIES WORK FOR ROAD ACCIDENTS
In major emergencies such as road traffic accidents, most people in Britain are treated
under the National Health Service, known as the NHS. If you are badly injured, you will be
taken by ambulance to Accident and Emergency.
Once any bleeding has been stopped, you will be x-rayed to see if you have broken any
bones. If you have fractured your femur or patella, you may be operated on by an orthopaedic
surgeon fairly quickly. If you have done serious damage to your pelvis, you may need to be
transferred to a large city hospital where surgeons specialize in complex fractures and pelvic
reconstruction. Many unlucky motorcyclists require specialist surgery and often their legs are put
in traction until they enter the operating theatre.
Soon after the operation, the patient is usually introduced to the physiotherapist. Some
patients are put on a special machine which gently moves their knee and hip joints.
READING TO THE CHILD
It is advisable for parents to read to their children at preschool and early primary levels.
When they read to a child from story books, comic strips of the better type, and children's
magazines, he becomes aware that books, magazines, and newspapers hold something of interest
and amusement for him. He also comes to realize that this "something" which he enjoys is tightly
locked within black and white symbols, and that these symbols can be unlocked only when one
knows how to read. This awareness and interest form a springboard from which he can leap into
learning to read in school, and into the voluntary reading of self-selected books. Parents,
however, should not continue reading to their child year after year as he passes through the
elementary grades. If the child can only get his reading pleasure through his parents' efforts, he
may not have much incentive for doing the reading himself. Parents should decrease their
reading to the child as he learns to read and put him on his own as soon as possible.
