Hospital In the modern sense, a hospital is a health care institution providing patients treatment with specialized staff and equipment. In a hospital, people with different kinds of diseases can be treated and cured. Some patients go to a hospital just for diagnosis, treatment, or therapy and then leave without staying overnight('outpatients'); while others are 'admitted' and stay overnight or for several days or weeks or months ('inpatients'). Types Hospitals are usually distinguished from other types of medical facilities by their ability to admit and care for inpatients. There are over 17,000 hospitals in the world. They can be divided into several types. General The best-known type of hospital is the general hospital, which is set up to deal with various kinds of disease and injury , and normally has an emergency department to deal with immediate and urgent threats to health. Larger cities may have several hospitals of varying sizes and facilities. Some hospitals have their own ambulance service. Specialized In the specialized hospital , patients with chronic illnesses such as tuberculosis, or those patients of only one age group, such as children, can be treated or cured. Types of specialized hospitals include trauma centers, rehabilitation hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, seniors' (geriatric) hospitals, lung hospitals, infectious disease hospitals and so on. District A district hospital typically is the major health care facility in its region, with large numbers of beds for intensive care and long-term care; and specialized facilities for surgery, plastic surgery, childbirth, bioassay laboratories, and so forth. Teaching A teaching hospital is a hospital that provides clinical education and training to future and current doctors, nurses, and other health professionals, in addition to delivering medical care to patients,which is often linked to a medical school, nursing school or university. Clinics A medical facility smaller than a hospital is generally called a clinic, and is often run by a government agency for health services or a private partnership of physicians (in nations where private practice is allowed). Clinics generally provide only outpatient services. Departments Hospitals vary widely in the services they offer and therefore, in the departments they have. In general, a hospital contains inpatient department, outpatient department, department of medicine, department of surgery, clinical laboratory, medical records, nursing department and so on. Some hospitals may have acute services such as an emergency department, specialist trauma centre, burn unit, surgery, or urgent care. These may then be backed up by more specialist units such as cardiology or coronary care unit, intensive care unit, neurology, cancer center, and obstetrics and gynecology. Some hospitals may have chronic treatment units such as behavioral health services, dentistry, dermatology, psychiatry, rehabilitation services, and physical therapy. Common support units include a dispensary or pharmacy, pathology and radiology, and on the non-medical side, there are release of information department, facilities management, maintenance, dining services, and security department. 根据课文,回答问题 1.What's the general hospital?
