Why is there a 'd' in fridge and not on refrigerator?
The English language.....
A mobile health unit was here in Poros for a few days.
There were eye doctors and teeth doctors and orthopedics and more. All arranged by the council. The doctors checked over 454 school children. All free.
Doctors come to the schools for check-ups most years. My daughter's bad eye sight at age 8 was discovered by a test at her school when we lived in Crete.
They usually don't come in such concentrated form.
The mobile health unit is a great service by the sound of it. Especially as it's free!
ReplyDeleteThey go from school to school on the wall islands and more remote areas. It's a great service for parents who dont have much access to good health care
DeleteWall islands?!? Don't know where that came from 😅
DeleteI had never thought about fridge and refrigerator....I know there are other words that must drive those who are learning English as a 2nd language!
ReplyDeleteIt must be hard to learn to read and write.
DeleteI have thought of the word fridge. One of my son's mates asked me ...why can we say tuck, muck, buck but the word starting with f is so bad.🤷. My daughter's mother in law is a school health nurse- in her case she just tests hearing and does vaccinations. She goes to many schools over a large area
ReplyDeleteWe used to have school dental nurses back in NZ. Don't think they exist anymore. Plus compulsory vaccinations which probably weren't a bad idea back then. Polio, diphtheria
DeleteThat’s wonderful that the government is doing something to help the people. We had a dentist come visit the school but that was it.
ReplyDeleteBut as our health system allows for free medical it didn’t matter we didn’t get a doctor
We have doctors here but they're not free and no one takes their children for a check up. These doctors can check on each child's overall health. It's a great service
DeleteWe have mobile health units here that go around all the homeless encampments and shelters helping people that have no home, job or health coverage.
ReplyDeleteThese health units help those outside of the cities. They're a great idea
DeleteI've noticed one of those units permanently in my supermarket car park. It doesn't seem to have many takers!
ReplyDeleteAt least they're there in plain sight
