A pack for medical and dental students (level A2–B1) working with patients in Bulgaria: history taking, symptoms, examination instructions, pain, medication and life on the ward. Always address patients with the polite "⁠Вие⁠". This is a language course, not medical advice: follow your supervisor and your hospital's protocols — they change and differ between hospitals. Dosages and instructions in the dialogues are language examples.
