Talking about medical experiences. Complete the spaces. The first letter of each space is given.

a) When I was playing football, I broke my ankle and was carried off the pitch on a s............ . I was taken to c............. , where the doctor put a p............. cast on my leg. For the next two months I needed c.............. to get around with.

b) I'm a hospital p.............. . You'll see me pushing trolleys or wheelchairs, or carrying supplies from one department to another. Typically, I collect people who've just come out of s.............. , where they've had an o................, and take them to their w............... , where they stay and recover.

c) I've been having toothache and imagined I'd have to have a f.............. at the dentist's. But when I went to get it checked out, she said the tooth would have to be e.............. . Well, after it was all over and the i............... had worn off, I was in a............. for two days and had to have painkillers.
