No, I am not a research worker. A research worker is a person who studies different problems and investigates new facts in science, medicine, technology or other fields. A research worker makes experiments, collects information, analyzes results and tries to discover something new.

To write down the lectures I usually use a notebook and a pen. I prefer using a ball-pen because it is more convenient and the writing is clearer. Sometimes students use a pencil if they need to make corrections easily.

In case of the grippe (flu) I usually stay at home, rest, drink plenty of warm liquids and take medicine recommended by a doctor. People often use medicines that reduce fever and relieve symptoms, for example antipyretics and drugs for cough or sore throat. It is also important to follow medical advice.

Yes, Russian doctors use artificial organs in medicine. Artificial organs help people when their own organs cannot work properly. Modern medicine uses artificial heart valves, artificial joints, artificial kidneys, artificial blood vessels and other devices. They help improve patients' health and sometimes save lives.

In their first year medical students study general subjects. They usually learn anatomy, biology, chemistry, physics, medical Latin, foreign languages and other basic sciences. These subjects help students understand the structure and functions of the human body before studying clinical medicine.
