Language Notes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=147cb19EGUM
1. The two phrases 看医生 (kàn yī shēng) and 看病 (kàn bìng) are interchangeable, although in northern China 看病 is much more common than 看医生.
2. When tasting or trying the flavor of a food or drink, one says 我 尝尝 (cháng chang, Let me taste it) instead of 我试试 (shì shi, Let me try), although one says 试试when trying most other things.
These are signs you may see in clinics and hospitals in China. Can you guess what the rooms are for? Can you read the sign on the right in the correct tones?
Grammar 5. The Preposition 对 (duì)

3. A: 你为什么不去纽约？ (Why aren’t you going to New York?)

L-12 Reading Practice 3
Culture Highlights
1，在十七世纪, 西医最早是由欧洲传教士传入中国的。在此之前，中国人就只专门依赖传统的中国中医，包括针灸 (zhēn jiǔ, acupuncture) , 草药 (herbal medicine)，按摩 (àn mó, massage) 和其他疗法的系统。即使是现在，这些土著的医疗方法仍然是一个备受尊重的医疗方法。很多中国人选择使用传统的中国医学和西医结合来治各种疾病。但传统中国中药绝不是万能的，能是出奇地有效的。很多的治疗疗法，如针灸和拔罐的效果尚未完全被现代科学所理解。传统的中医和草药只有在中医诊所才提供。
2，在中国，看门诊医生须支付注册费（挂号费 guàhàofei ）。该费用通常不太贵，但如果一个人想咨询尊敬的专家, 那费用可能是相当高的。特殊的检查和化验，还得要事先付款。
3，注射（打针）和静脉输液（在中国大陆；在台湾叫打点滴）在美国医院门诊很少使用，可是在中国的医院，诊所和医生办公室，是门诊病人常见的治疗方法，甚至用于像感冒等常见的疾病。
4，中国的门诊通常会用他或她的处方在医院本身药店里买药。，但是，也可以到独立药店去买药品。
5，直到20世纪80年代，在中国全部国有企业和机构都给员工提供了免费医疗，这成为了政府的巨大财政负担。这种做法在20世纪90年代被中断了。这在中国很多的城市目前处于一个走向医疗保险制度的过渡期，而在农村的大多数人还没有任何保障他们的医疗保健的保险。
2. To see a doctor, a Chinese outpatient has to pay a registration fee (挂号费 guàhào fèi). The fee is typically equivalent to no more than one US dollar, but could be considerably higher if one wants to consult an esteemed specialist (专家 zhuānjiā). For prescribed tests, outpatients usually have to pay up front.
3. While injections (打针) and intravenous infusion (打点滴dīin Taiwan and 输液 shū yè in mainland China) are seldom used in American hospitals for outpatients, they are much more common treatments for outpatients in Chinese hospitals, clinics and doctors’ offices, even for common ailments like a cold.
4. An outpatient in China would usually pick up his or her prescription from a pharmacy within the hospital itself. One can, however, get medicines from independent pharmacies.
5. Until the 1980s, employees in all state-owned enterprises and institutions in China were offered free medical care, which became a huge financial burden for the government. That practice was discontinued in the 1990s. The cities in China are currently in a transitional period toward a better-regulated system of medical insurance, while most people in the rural areas are still without any insurance coverage for their health care.
