 In Britain when youre ill, you go to a doctor.People with colds and coughs dont go to their doctors but to the drug store, to buy medicine.Doctors only come to your home when youre very ill.In a emergency you can callan ambulance on 999. Doctors are men or women, and you can say who you prefer. You usually only spend about ten minutes with the doctors.

They can usually say what the matter is very quickly, and often give a prescription for some medicine. You get this at the drugstore. If not they may suggest you to go a specialist. You dont pay for a visit to the doctor or to the hospital in Britain, but when you work you pay a government tax for your medical care. You can also pay for prescriptions if youre over 18.

 Exercise every day. The Delany sisters like to do yoga. They also walk every day. Eat lots of vegetables, especially garlic.Garlic is good for your health,even if its not good for your breath! BUT DonT eat a lot of salt and fat. These things are bad for you. DonT get married!!The sisters say We are still alive because we dont have husbands who worry us

 DonT listen to the doctor.Most doctors dont know what to do with usSadie says.Whe somethings wrong they say, Youre still living, what do you expect?
