Health is above wealth There is nothing more important than health. Health is above wealth, wise people say, because you cant be good at your studies or work well if you dont take care of your health. If you complain of a sore throat or a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, if you have a headache, heart disease, toothache, backache, earache or a bad pain in the stomach, if you suffer from a high or low blood pressure, you should consult a doctor. The doctor will take your temperature, examine you, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, sound your heart and lungs and have your chest X-rayed if necessary. After that he will prescribe you some treatment (pills, tablets, mixtures or some other medicine) which you can buy at the chemists. In order to complications he will recommend you to stay in bed for some days. If you want to recover soon, you have to follow the doctors instructions.
