Anatomy, hospital, wellness and medical emergencies.

18 subtopics · ~795 words

Health groups useful anatomy, hospital, pharmacy and emergency packs. Wave 1 includes hospital-atencion and pack-hospital-urgencias: 挂号, 门诊, 疼, 过敏. Do not study 20 HSK 5 bones before you can say where it hurts. If you travel, run the emergency pack the same day as first-day-in-China. Hospital procedures differ by city; these pages teach the lexicon, they do not replace insurance. Save HSK 1–3 rows to Chinese Trainer SRS and say the dialogue out loud.
