Medical Vocabulary in English: First Aid
Watching this video could help you save a life, maybe even your own! In this video, I’ll be teaching youfirst aid vocabulary. Beyond that, I’ll teach you what to do in case of a medical emergency. You’ll learn who to call, what you can do while waiting for paramedics, and a little bit about treating injuries yourself. I’ll also talk about First Aid kits and what your kit should should have in it. You’ll learn vocabulary such as EMS, first responders, paramedic, stabilize, assess, defibrillator, CPR, and more. You’ll learn to describe different medical emergencies and treatments, in case you or someone you know ever needs to be treated by a doctor or paramedic. Stay safe, and take care of yourself. But if an emergency arises, please be prepared. In addition to watching this lesson, I also recommend that you take a first aid course.

I always love your classes

Learning is the key.
You taught us all on EngVid
Encouraging to know
Some tricky English phrases
But interesting although
One of EngVid students offered to make something special for the hundredth tutorial, her name is iechi. I follow her advice. And I wish you, Adam, iechi and her mum, especially her mum health!
I’m grateful for your wisdom
For the teacher that you are;
You’re a very good person,
And as a teacher, you’re a star!
You’re a skillful teacher;
I knew it from the start.
Thank you Nataanna :) That’s a great poem.
intresting lesson with wealth of information that we need in our life, thamk you Adam.
Just yesterday at 10:00 a.m. I had to call 112 (the Emergency number in Europe)because of a serious car accident.
Luckily, the operator understood Italian perfectly…..
Oh no! I hope everyone is all right. :S
I’ll tell you the honest truth: the driver wasn’t too badly injured, almost a miracle!
I’m glad it worked out well. Good to know the English in these cases too.
Hello, Adam. I’ve just watched your video on “When not to use an article” and I believe in your sentence you meant the language, not the nationality. Please, correct me if I’m wrong.
Thanks Adam. It is a really good lesson, and your medical knowledge is perfect.
by the way of this hundred video of you,i would like to say ” congratulations” and i am going to rest watching your intresting videos until the thousand video of you.
Thank you Skikda :) I appreciate that.
Hello Adam. That’s great. I really needed such a lesson. Frankly now I’m trying to be a doctor in the future??. Thank you again…
I wouldn’t image I could get 100%?
I have really learned new vocabulary,but to pronounce ‘defibrillator’, I need to work that out ? And most importantly, my students will be lucky to learn this too. I believe is going to fun.
Many thanks, Adam.

I was studying the First Aid and the Water Lifeguard courses more than 10 years ago and I got a job during one year approximately working at some swimming pools, it was very interesting and I learned a lot of other mates, nurses and medics. It is very useful to have acknowledgements about the topic of health care and applying them when it was necessary for some special dangerous situations like accidents, falls down and injuries. It has been a very interesting lesson as always, I have to give you again thanks a lot, teacher Adam, you make us love the English language with your very useful lessons.
can u do leason about phrasal verbs “Kick”???
what is the meaning of kick in???
Good idea Agatha.
Kick in means takes effect, starts.
Thanks!!!!
Thank you Adam, the lesson has many new words
Thanks Adam.
very useful, thank u…
This video was really interesting, thanks Adam!
Adam, what does ‘attend to’ mean?
Hello Abdul Rehman Ismail, attend means to participate in an event, place,etc. Or we can explain it in this way too: be presented at something like an event.
This is true without the ‘to’, Nkh. Otherwise, correct.
Hi Abdul,
In the case of medical situations, a doctor attends to a patient, meaning, he.she looks after the patient and treats him/her.
It`s a serious and mandatory topic. Thanks for teaching.)
“Not a good situation” Maybe I’m strange but I found that really funny when you were talking ablout being paralyzed and not being able to move your legs or upper body and then you said “Not a good situation”. That conclusion made me laugh :) Great lesson a lot of new vocabulary. Thx
Hello!
Thanks so much Adam, very useful. I’ve got 8 correct.
Although I couldn’t watch this video so far but I still want to say Congratulations to you teacher since I was the one most excited student at the forum to watch this 100th video of yours.Although it isn’t the way I expacted but anyway even if it would be according to my wish I don’t think I could enjoy it now..May you live long and healthy and serve the humanity the way you have been doing and please remember my dearest mother in your prayers.Thanks
hi eich, i’ve remarked that you comment only on Adam’s lessons , if you don’t mind i would to ask you:are you watching only Adam’s video ? are you watching the other teachers’ videos and you don’t comment on them or there is another answer? if you don’t care just forget it. take care eichi.
Hello its not like that SKIKDA you think in a totally wrong way.Its true that I watch only Adam’s lessons but it doesn’t mean that all other teachers at engvid are not good rather they all are very good but you know my philosophy is this if you follow more than one leaders you will never be able to achieve your goal rather you will get confussed there for I concentrate only on Adam’s lessons and second and the most important thing is if Adam replies to all my comments and solve all the problems and issues I face then why comment every where he is just more than enough for me and let me clear one more thing to you I really respect and adore Adam as my older brother.I hope you got my point and be positive.Stay Blessed and healthy.
Hello! Eichi
Your philosophy right about leadership.
But when you learn things it’s not matter to learn things from your leader only,
Learn things more than one resources always better.
I hope it will change your philosophy.
Good luck whatever you do.
hello sayeed786,you are absolutely right but everyone has his own style of learning and also has different mental level according to wich they learn,Some people learn quickly while some take time.Some learn every minute and every time while some learn only by chance.People behaviors differ from each other so is ours.I do like learning all the time and I learn every thing from every one what ever comes my way(only good things)I don’t know whether you agree with me or not but learning same thing from different people at the same time makes me cofussed most of the time because mostly their ideas and concepts conflict and that mass up the entire learning process,so there for I prefer one thing at one time.Following different leaders instructions at the same time will never let you go in any direction.first experience the one and than go for the other thats what I believe.If you start reading three books at the same time you won’t be able to finish any of them no matter how hard you try.Thats what I believe but I still value your point of view.Thanks for sharing your view.I always welcome positive and constructive criticism.Stay Blessed Bro.
Yes! It’s true for certain conditions or situations.It’s depend how to adopting changes as positive or negative way it’s
But one thing i know if you have confident with your own learning style & it beneficial for you. So, it’s better to follow it.
I really like your response I don’t know what you feel from my comment and mentioned bro!, but it’s first time with me on social platefrom someone calling bro. it’s good to know you.
Eichi is your real name.
Nobody read three books on one go. we read from different resources & collect relevant information from them which is valuable for us.
?
Hello Bro,why got shocked???There is always a first time.I already told you everyone has his own style so have I, But please don’t mind,We eastern people use such honorofics,Secondly I always say I consider this forum as my home and the students here are all like my siblings so I usually call them as I call my own siblings so please don’t ever mind my words and let me clear one more thing I don’t ever mind any comment because I always remember my father’s words that say Don’t ever mind what people say because a person can give you only what he has, If he has only bad things he will give you only bad and If he has good things he will give you good,now what you can do is to whether appreciate him or pity him accordingly.I hope I explained it in a way you can understand.If not then my apologies because my english is very bad, Its just enough to get by.Stay blessed
Uniqueness always attract me & you have uniqueness, l not mind your words I like the way you tell things, its good to know you sis.
I hope aunty get well soon.
I prey for her.
Good luck!
Thanks and Ameen. Good luck to you too.Stay Blessed and Healthy.
I sometimes watch Alex,Emma and jade’s lessons as well and they are also good teachers but still Adam is Adam.
Hi eichi. Nattaana has told you all the things that I wanted to say. Please do notice them. I never forget praying for your mom and all the sick. I have seen this illness from near in one of my dearest ! Now every thing is ok. God is kinder than we think!
Nataanna
Thank you so much Soei, Your words always make me feel good, I would say you are really wonderful and I really value your sentiments even if you couldn’t say all that Nataanna said I could see the deep concern you have for my Mother and I will never forget all those people who supported me all this time because its really really very hard time and you really need some one to share your pain with even only verbally.Thank you so much once again.
soei if you have gone through Nataanna’s comment you must have known that according to the doctors my mother can’t take any allopathc treatment because of her age (65)and bad physical health so I have to go for the herbal treatment and I there for make a request to you and all the students at the forum and even the teachers at engvid to please guide me if anybody know any good herbal remedy please do let me know I will even pay three time more then the actual price to get the medicine just to save my dearest mother.
Hello eichi. Are you ok? You’ve not been with us for a long time. I’ve been praying for your mother. I red your top comments. I don’t know what I should say for encouraging you. But I just tell you be strong and don’t lose your belief in Allah.
I’m big.453. Do you remember me?
Sorry; nkh.453
Hello dear nkh453, i am fine.What about you? I do remember you dear nkh453 from Iran.You are right I have been quite out of touch for the last few days and this is simply because I have to look after my Mother.Thank you so much for the prayers and keep it up because in such a situations that i have been passing through nothing but only prayers can make difference.I do believe in almighty and when I see people like you,nataanna and soei around me who console me and support me without any personal interests,It makes my believe in Almighty more stronger.thank you so much once again dear and love you all.
‘Allah give her mother the health and the good days
I ask Allah the supplication 4 ur mother
Ameen Allahumma Ameen, Thank you so much Kotoz and please keep praying
Allhumma give eichi’s mother healing from her illness.ameen ameen ameen
Ameen Summa Ameen and thank you SKIKDA.
Hi Eichi,
Thank you for your kind words and expressing some personal philosophies. You write much better than you think.
As for your mom, I know exactly what you two are going through and I wish only the best for both of you. I will keep you in my thoughts.
I made 10 out of 10 only because I watch Greys Anatomy. I highly recommend this tv show to learn english. In Netflix it is possible to watch it with subtitles in english. Not only did I learn medical terms, but also there is a great deal of english expressions in it. Thanks again for the great video Adam!
Anyone want to improve English speaking skill with me. Please add my Skype. haridanjhondum@outlook.com
Thank you.
Maybe Adam I’ve heard or read something like “dislocation of a hand or leg”. Is it medical term or not? Can you use it when you give information for 911?
Yes, dislocation is basically when a bone moves out of its socket (the part that holds it in place). The most common is a shoulder. It is not life-threatening, and can often be “popped” back into place, though you should definitely get a medical professional to do this.
I’m so happy to be your student
Well, I’m happy to have you as a student NlanduZach :)
Hello, Adam. Im an English teacher from Ukraine and I wanted to ask you for a favor. In many tv series and movies I often hear the use of “will” or “would” after “if” in conditional sentences. That really confuses me. Could you please give a lesson on that topic. I’d really appreciate that. Thanks)
This might take some time, Emma, but if you type “conditionals’ in the search window on this site, you will see a few very good lessons on this by other teachers. Let me know if you have questions after viewing these.
Thank you :)
It’s so helpful. Many thanks, Adam.??
Thank you very much . Really I respect you ! Your manner in teaching brings a lot of motivation for the learners . It shows that nothing is better than learning !
Thank you that was useful.
Thanks alots Mr. Adam
Thanks a million Sir Adam ! I like your lessons ! I hope in the future i’ll do speak english as you do it ! Thanks again !
Thank you ,Adam!
thank yo so much, I will try to repeat more in order not to forget in future)
Thanks Adam, very useful lesson!
Great lesson, very appreciated.
I want to practice English but can not find a way to do it. Any suggestions?
I listen and read English everyday, but my oral is horrible. Help!!!
Hi Happy,
You can watch talk on sites like ted.com and listen and follow the transcript. After, record yourself as you try to mimic their speech. Then listen and catch where you are different from the speaker.
You can also find language exchange sites online where you can meet other people who want to learn your language and you can help each other.
thanks Adam , its good lesson
Hi Adam, how about in the case of drowning and burn, which words and terms can I use in this cases? I like so much your videos, you and Ronnie are the best.
Hi Anderson.
If a person is drowning and you are able to pull him out of the water, then you need to apply CPR and get him breathing again. In the case of a burn, if you can soak it in cold water or ice it, then do that. if not, then put ointment on it and dress it with gauze.
Hope this helps.
thank you ,Adam. it’s very useful for me
any body plzzz help me
:) in what way can we help?
A good one, Could you please differentiate the word anxiety from anxious.
Thanks,
HI Flashfarhan,
Anxiety is a noun, describing the general feeling.
Anxious is an adjective, describing how the person feels.
Hope this helps.
You,ronnie,robecca and emma is best ! Thanks a lot for this educational video.
Thanks Adam! 10/10
very useful, thanks so much Adam..
Interesting Thank you
Thank you everybody. Be careful out there :)
Ok)))))
few days from now I posted a comment but I cannot see it here…:/ why?
Hi! Sometimes comments get accidentally marked as spam or held for moderation. I also delete comments that are off-topic, just one word long, or inappropriate.
Adam, thank you so much for this lesson! I had been waiting for it. By the way, can you please explain to me what “open house” means when it comes to jobs. Thank you!
HI Alikat,
Some companies have an open house when people who are interested in working there can come look around and meet some staff and decide if they want to apply. You can usually apply at the same time. Just make sure to remember that you are in “interview” mode when you go there.
Oh, I see…it that the same as a job fair, then? I´m sorry to reply with another question. Thank you for your reply and explanation to my previous comment.
is that***
Essentially, yes, but at a job fair the recruiters are waiting for you.
Well done ! Thanks for the good tips !
Useful for the First Aid but what about the ” Last Aid” ? …

Hello Adam,
