Talk about health, the NHS, and medical appointments — all in British English! A saúde é um dos tópicos mais importantes para quem vive no Reino Unido, e entender como funciona o NHS (National Health Service) e o vocabulário médico britânico é essencial.
No British English, muitos termos médicos são diferentes do Americano: GP (General Practitioner) em vez de 'primary care physician', chemist ou pharmacy em vez de 'drugstore', e A&E (Accident and Emergency) em vez de 'ER'. Além disso, britânicos frequentemente usam understatement ao falar de saúde: "I'm feeling a bit under the weather" pode significar que estão muito doentes!
