IV.Summing-up

We have talked much today about the first aid.I hope you will take everything into account. And I’d like to finish our talk with the joke: «A famous  American doctor came to  England to study the latest methods. When he looked at the Charts he found some abbreviation he did not know:GOK.He decided to consult  a British colleague about it.”Oh, we use this when  we don’t know the diagnosis. It means God Only Knows”. If you do not want to fall ill with GOK, follow today’s advice and stay healthy.

Our lesson is over.

Good-bye!
