The English Student A little Guide to the Hospital Medical Vocabulary
A hospital is a place people go when they're sick or injured. It has a lot of purpose - to get surgery, to have a baby, to get a routine check up, get prescriptions, treat both life-threatening and non life-threatening injuries. A doctor can usually treat, heal or cure your situation. 
At a hospital, there is usually an ICU (which stands for Intensive Care Unit). This is where patients stay if they are in more critical conditions and need constant care and monitoring. The word "intensive" is an adjective describing something that requires lots of work, effort, time, and intensity. You might have seen some courses labeled as Intensive (for example, Intensive ESL). This means the course requires a lot of effort and work.

A hospital will also have an ER (which stands for Emergency Room). A person will go to the ER if they are in an emergency situation and cannot wait to see a doctor. Patients will get treated right away and the ER doctors will determine a course of action right away. The word "emergency" is a noun meaning a situation that is urgent and requires immediate attention. An emergency situation is usually unexpected and sudden.

I've gone to the hospital numerous times in my life, whether for minor illness such as a cough to more major issues like stitches on my chin. Being at a hospital gives me major anxiety. I hate seeing people in pain and I really don't like the sight of blood or needles. However, medical vocabularies are still very important. Below are just some common words you might come across at a hospital.

If you'd like more lessons on hospital, illness, doctor etc, take a look at the links below on describing symptoms and different kinds of medicine.
