Essential Medical English Vocabulary for Emergencies: Talk to Your Doctor Confidently!

In this video, I teach you all the medical vocabulary you'll need to explain your symptoms and emergencies to a doctor in English! Whether you're describing an injury, telling your doctor you’re sick, or explaining that you have food poisoning, this video will help you communicate clearly and confidently in a medical situation.
Vocabulary Covered:
0:30 How to explain an injury (e.g., "I hurt my leg," "I twisted my ankle") and describe pain in English
5:53 How to describe having surgery (e.g., "I had an operation," "I’m recovering from surgery")
7:49 How to say "I'm sick" or describe feeling unwell (e.g., "I have a fever," "I feel nauseous")
11:22 How to talk about food poisoning (e.g., "I think I have food poisoning," "I ate something bad")
By the end of this video, you'll be able to explain your symptoms clearly in English, making it much easier to get the right help when you need it. This is especially helpful for ESL learners traveling or living in English-speaking countries!

You teach in such a funny and an entertaining way that you make us enjoy studying the language, you really rock sir 👌🏅

Thanks bud I’m glad you like it

[@timurbirgalin4704]

I had two surgeries. The first one was when I was 15 and it was a small surgery on my testicle veins. The second one was in this year. It was a biopsy of my paratracheal lymph node. It was suspected something bad in there, but an analysis showed no bad things, so I'm healthy:)

Hi, Aly. The video, as always, is amazing, but... I watched it and sprained my ankle the next day. Two days after that, I caught a cold. I don't mean anything by it, but I'd really appreciate it if your next video was, I don't know, about buying your own yacht or at least about a vacation in Seychelles.😁

[@imenefourrour8382]

Heartfelt thanks for the amazing content I have a question though can we say I've got a sprained arm ? Or do we use the verb only when refering to a twisted ankle ?

[@papateachme]

Yeah for sure! You can have a sprained wrist too

wow it is Amazing

Hey Papa...can we also say buises and abrasions when at traumatologist?

[@papateachme]

Hi hi from London!!

[@helsha]

Thank you for the lesson! May I ask you a question? How do you explain your sight problems in English? Like how badly your eyes see? In Russia for example we have a system of measuring sight like from - to +. If you can’t see far away things but can see closely it’s a minus and if it’s vice versa, then it’s the plus. I myself have -6 for example, and have to wear glasses all the time. So is it same in English as well or is it different?

[@pinar9782]

Vey informative as always🙂

[@taniamontes2689]

Hi Aly, great!!! it just looks like an episode of horrible histories by Terry Deary, when people used to visit a doctor, 😂🤣🤣👍🏼
