Hello there Cpod, Great lessons you have here. I'm a physician in Canada. Although I'm Chinese, I can't really speak much Mandarin. I've too many Chinese patients coming to me and it's hard to communicate medical terminologies. Any chance of adding lessons covering visits to the doctor?

Thanks

Not a lot of medical terminology, but some helpful dialogue is here.  I haven't been able to find anything even describing surgery, surgeon, scar, scar tissue, heal, time to heal...

    There's an Upper Intermediate lesson with some good vocab. It's called "a visit to the doctor" or somesuch.
