Hi My name is Niharika and welcome back Well, when you have health issues the first

thing that you do is go see a doctor. But what kind of doctor would you go see if

you spot red rashes on your skin? Or if you have a broken leg what kind of doctor would

you go see? So in this lesson today we are gonna look

at types of doctors? Now there are different types of doctors who are specialized in different

areas. So that's what we are gonna learn. The types of doctors and how to correctly pronounce them.

SO let's get started The first one that I have for you is a General

Practitioner Now who is a General Practitioner?

If you have any health issues the very common ones, like sore throat or you just having

a bad stomach ache then you go see your family doctor. So another term for General Practitioner

is your family doctor. AM I right? So nay common health issues ,like

I said may be a runny nose, may be a bad headache or stomach ache then you go see a general

practitioner. Now the next one that I have over here is

a Dermatologist . So who is a Dermatologist? The Doctor who treats skin related issues

,hair related issues and as well as nails. So it's skin, hair and nails. So as I mentioned

before that if you spot these awful red rashes on your body, the first this you will do is

rush to a Dermatologist. Do that! Dermatologist is the doctor who treats skin, hair and nail

issues. The next one that I have for you is a Dentist.

Now who's a Dentist? You like going to a dentist? Well, I don't ,I am scared. Because Dentists

are the Doctors who work on human mouth. Now they treat your teeth and any gum related

issues. And in fact it is said that it is important for every human being to visit a

Dentist at-least twice a year for good oral health. So do you do that? Well, I don't ,I

think I should do that as well. SO Dentist is a Doctor who treats teeth and

The next one that I have for you is a Cardiologist. So who's a Cardiologist? A Cardiologist is

a heart doctor So if you have any cardiovascular diseases

you are gonna rush to a Cardiologist. Now unfortunately cannot fix your broken heart.

And what's a broken heart? When you are upset or you are really sad because you broke up

with your girl friend or your boy friend then you end up having a broken heart. So unfortunately

cardiologists cannot fix that, but yes, any cardiovascular diseases, Cardiologist is the

doctor that you gotta go see. The next one that I have for you is a Gynecologist

and who is a Gynecologist? Well, a Doctor who works on female reproductive organs or

female reproductive system. So all the pregnant women, they first go see a Gynac. Gynac is

a shot term used for a Gynecologist. But the person who performs surgeries, the

Doctor who performs surgeries like the C- sec the caesarean or removal of Ovarian tumours

then you go see an Obstetrician. SO , Obstetrician is the one who performs surgeries in the Gynecologist

area. So basically they perform C- secs or any tumor that has to be removed out of a

female reproductive system. So Gynac is the main doctor however the person or the doctor

who performs the surgery is called as an Obstetrician.

The next one that I have for you is an Optometrist. Who is an Optometrist? DO you have any issues

with your vision? Or any eye related issues? Well, the right Doctor that you need to go

see is an Optometrist. Now Optometrist is an Eye Doctor.

So any issues with your vision or may be an infection in your eyes or anything related

to your eyes, go see an Optometrist. The next one I have for you is an Orthopedic

Surgeon. Who is an Orthopedic Surgeon. The first person or the first doctor that you

gotta go see if you meet with an accident. Yes, because an Orthopedic Surgeon deals with

the skeletal system. Any broken leg or broken bones or anything wrong with your skeletal

system an Orthopedic Surgeon will fix it for you. So you can say,bones Doctor.

It just to explain you that who is an Orthopedic Surgeon.

Or even if you have any knee related issues especially when people get old they have a

lot of trouble with their knees ot their hands or even arthritis ,so all these things are

The next one that I have for you is an Pediatrician. Now Pediatrician is a Doctor who deals with

variety of health issues with infants, kids and teenagers. If you have ever visited a

Pediatrician, their clinic or the area that they sit in the hospital, its always very

colorful and very kids friendly environment. So, they are the Doctors who deal with infants,

Now let's have a look at another Doctor that's Urologist. An Urologist is a Doctor who deals

with any urinary infections or any urinary issues. Also Urologist takes care of male

reproductive system or male reproductive organs. Usually people get confused, people think,

especially men, if they have any issues with their reproductive organs then they have to

see a gynac but no you have to go see a Urologist. So any issues with your Urinary Tract or any

issues with male reproductive system then you see a Urologist.

And the last one that I have for you is an Neurologist. A Neurologist is a Doctor who

deals with Human Brain and the Doctor who performs surgery on a human brain is called

as Neurosurgeon. So Neurologist is a Doctor who deals with Human Brain any nerve related

issues you go see a Neurologist and if there is some issue and probably you have to go

under a needle, you have to go for a surgery then you go see a Neurosurgeon.

So these are the types of Doctors we have here. Now there are end number of Doctors

in this world but I have just taken the most common ones and probably we can also go ahead

and take a test ,where you will have questions and you can answer, what Doctor you will see

for some specific issues you are having. So answer that , tell me how much did you score

and I will be back with a new lesson till then you take care
