JOKE


SHORT MEDICAL JOKES

A doctor says to his patient, "I have good news and bad news… The good
news is that you are not a hypochondriac."
 

A man rushed into the doctor’s office and shouted, "Doctor! I think I’m
shrinking!"
The doctor calmly responded, "Now, settle down. You’ll just have to be a
little patient."


USELESS MEDICAL FACTS

Every year, surgical tools are left in approximately 1,500 patients in the USA. Fatter patients are more prone to having a surgical tool left inside of them due to the additional amount of space in their bodies.

The name Aspirin was invented from "A" in acetyl chloride. The "spir" comes from spiraea ulmaria which is the plant that they got the salicylic acid from, and the "in" was used because back then it was popular to end the name of medicines with "in."
 

The papaya tree is known as "the medicinal tree" in some cultures because its seeds and leaves have been used as ingredients in different medicines.

Ebben a kis összefoglalóban az igeidõket olyan sorrendben magyarázzuk el, ahogy azokat tanulni érdemes, tehát nem kategóriákban, mint például: jelen idõk, jövõ idõk, múlt idõk. Minél több igeidõt tudsz annál választékosabban tudod majd magad kifejezni, és annál árnyaltabban tudod majd leírni a cselekvéseket.
