So let's imagine for a second that you're in a lovely English speaking country.

You're enjoying the early hours of the morning and you think it's the perfect time to go jogging.

Reflexive pronouns

You put on your workout gear, tie up your shoes and off you go into the distance while you're running, you're enjoying the fresh air and the fresh breeze and you think to yourself things can't get any better than this.

All of a sudden, you take a misstep and you fall down into a muddy puddle.

Not only are you a total mess, but you've also twisted your ankle.

You can't put any weight onto it and think to yourself, Have I sprained my ankle?

So now you're faced with having to go to the hospital and you can't use your native language.

If this kind of thing happens in your own country, you still have to explain what exactly happened to your doctor, right?

And I imagine trying to explain what happened in English might be a little intimidating.

So that's why, in this lesson, I'm gonna teach you some of the vocabulary you're going to need.

Yeah, so let's go back to your unfortunate jogging accident that led to an injury.

Do you remember what I said happened to your ankle?

Okay, Why won't you just let me call for help?

Because you will call 911 and they will send a fire engine and a surgical team for a sprained ankle.

However, this is a broader or more general verb.

You can twist your risk by turning it like this, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's a serious injury.

However, if you fall over, for example, and you twist it too much, then you'll be dealing with a more serious injury, which is called a sprained wrist.

A more general way to say this is that you hurt yourself or that you heard something mhm.

Let's continue focusing on that poor ankle here.

How do you say you feel pain in a part of your body?

You'd say a it hurts be it hurts my ankle.

For the most part, we use the simple present to say that you feel pain somewhere.

However, you can also use the present continuous with verbs that refer to physical feelings hurt ache or when you need to describe your injury.

The meaning, regardless of what tends to use, doesn't change.

For example, if you fall over at school, you go and see the nurse.

He or she might ask you where it hurts or where it's hurting.

You could reply my knees heading or my knee hurts.

The brain has a gating mechanism for pain, registers the most severe injury and blocks out the others Did it work?

Now that we know how to say that, I think we're ready to take you to the hospital ride.

If you're in the UK once you walk into the hospital, look for the accident and emergency room.

If you're in the US, this is simply called the emergency room.

You might also hear or see this abbreviated to A and E mhm emergency room.

That way, do we really have to sit for hours in the emergency room?

They're just going to give you ice and Advil like last time in the emergency room.

This is more or less how the conversation could go.

Or if it hurts a lot, you could say I think I've broken my ankle.

And someone will see you as soon as they can.

An X ray is an examination of a part of the body.

By taking and studying an X ray photograph, we gotta x ray.

When you get your ankle x rayed, you'll know whether you have a fracture, which is another word for a broken bone.

If you're lucky, it won't be anything more serious than swelling or a bruise.

Order left forearm with the X rays bruising.

This process which starts with you talking to the doctor and then having some exams done, is called a diagnosis.

Do you know that it's almost exactly a year ago that I got my diagnosis.

Honestly, Never thought I'd make it this far, but the cancer and surgery do you want to learn how natives really speak?
