Medical English You Must Know

If you feel sick or get hurt, these phrases save time:

  • "I need to see a doctor" — your opening request
  • "I'm allergic to [penicillin/nuts/shellfish]" — critical safety information
  • "It hurts here" + point — the simplest, most effective description
  • "I feel dizzy / nauseous / faint" — common symptoms
  • "I have a fever / headache / stomach pain" — basic symptom vocabulary

Having these ready turns a stressful moment into a manageable one.
