E45 Do You Speak "Doctor"? | Advanced Medical English

English and Beyond: Advanced English for Fluency & Communication

Would you know what to say at the doctor’s in English?

In this English and Beyond: Advanced English episode, César and I explore some advanced medical English vocabulary, from describing symptoms to understanding key healthcare terms like prognosis, chronic illness, and comorbidity.

Plus, get a behind-the-scenes look at how the UK’s NHS works (I actually worked in the system for a little bit!), why Brits are so passionate about it, and how healthcare differs around the world.

🩺 What you’ll learn:
– How to confidently explain your health problems in English
– Essential terms for doctor visits, hospitals, and prescriptions
– Cultural tips for navigating British healthcare

Whether you're a hypochondriac (like us!) or just want to be prepared, this episode is packed with useful language for real-life situations.
