I make sure to schedule an appointment with a doctor when I have a health problem. It is important for me to examine and treat this immediately. I am an elderly person so it is better not to let anything about my health bring difficulties to my life. I am positive about any medical treatment or surgery I may need. I feel confident about any decision I make to visit a doctor, even more so I am very patient under the dentist's work. I used a bandage on my legs twice and I have put plaster on my knees many times when I was a child. I don't like injections at all and luckily I haven't had many in my life. Only vaccines from my childhood until now.
Some years ago, I stayed in the hospital for surgery because my thumb was broken. During my recovery, I had to take medicine and receive several injections. I also underwent multiple X-rays at different stages. My doctor was exceptionally kind and professional, making the entire experience much easier for me.
I think I'm a person who am different from everyone. I like the smelt of rooms in hospital, especially the operation room:))) But I've gone to it just 2 times, because of once stomachache and once my foot felt hurt. I'm not afraid of operation, a doctor had commented me that I was so brave and naughty, however I'm a girl. And some other times are because of a cough or illness, not so terrible. I've just gone to dentist for taking my teeth, now I'm older and don't need to go anymore. When I was about 4 years old, that was the first time I had been on the ambulance, that the stomachache once. I've used bandage and sometimes have to use medicine or tablets but I haven't used plaster yet. If I have injuries, I'll let it recover. And I've got flu injection, just for a protective health.
If I know that a person's leg hurt, and I see them after while and want to ask "How is your leg?", would it sound natural? Or are other options preferable?
Thank you very much indeed for all your hard work and immense help and I'm very grateful for your answer to this post beforehand!!!
Hello, I'm a dentist. I want to know if these sentences are correct.
- You've got a caries
- Please sit down
- You need a restoration in the tooth with caries.
- you need a curettage because you have periodontitis.
Usually we say 'cavity' rather than 'caries' - this is easier for the patient to understand. Similarly, dentists usually say a filling rather than 'a restoration'.
I would suggest the following:
- You've got a cavity.
- Please sit down.
- You need a filling in the tooth with the cavity.
- You need a curettage because you have periodontitis.
'Attend something' means to participate in it. For example, you can attend a conference or attend a meeting.
'Attend to something' means to pay attention to it and deal with it in some way. For example, you can attend to a problem or attend to a person's needs. It seems to me that in your context this is the meaning you need so '...should be attended to' would be the correct phrasing.

Hello, dear teachers and team!
Could you please help me with this:
If I know that a person's leg hurt, and I see them after while and want to ask "How is your leg?", would it sound natural? Or are other options preferable?
Thank you very much indeed for all your hard work and immense help and I'm very grateful for your answer to this post beforehand!!!
Hi howtosay_,
Yes, that's perfectly natural. You could also say: How is your injury? (if it's an injury) or How is your leg problem?

Luckily I don't go to the doctor often. When I'm sick I take medicines and I rest a bit.
Hello. Is the following sentence correct?
- The patient must be attended constantly.
Thank you.
