English Medical Vocabulary
The goal of this episode is to share as many useful healthcare vocabulary as I can think of.
I first begin by comparing my medical experiences in the UK and in Thailand, and then go through some of my specific medical problems and injuries in each country where I go through my symptoms and share my views.

Hi Michael, my name is Jolanta and I am from Poland. I am so happy finely catching you up :))
After 1,5 year or so listening to your podcast from the very beginning I’m up to date… .
Thank you for your effort and good job.
My English learning journey is very long, I am near 60 year old now and still on my way. I wonder if I am your the oldest listener :)))
Making all possible mistakes a student can do I find English learning still fun and enjoyable. Thank you once more for your lessons, especially for your personality.
Hallo for all students, I cross my fingers for all of you and your English learning journey.

Hi Jolanta. Wow, thank you so much! That’s amazing you’ve listened for so long from the beginning until now. I can’t imagine hearing my voice for that many hours 😩 And you’re definitely not the oldest! We had a comment just yesterday from someone who is 70. I’m sure there are older too 🙂
I hope you’ll stick with me on future episodes! Thanks again and all the best with your learning journey
