Asking about care when unwell
Ask for help and report instructions you received.
Listen, read, and retell
Pass 1: understand the situation. Pass 2: hide meanings and read. Pass 3: retell it in your own words.
Conversation
May I ask a favour? Come to the pharmacy with me to ask about this note. I do not understand tablets and liquid medicine.
Yes, but ask a doctor or pharmacist about medication rather than copying a friend. State what you need clearly.
A relative was once in hospital, and the hospital director visited at discharge. I want to reread the doctor's written instructions.
Then bring the original instructions. Traditional and Western medicine each involve expertise; we should not alter instructions we do not understand.
