10 English Idioms from Health & Medicine
Do idioms make youbreak out in a cold sweat? Then this lesson is just what the doctor ordered. That means that this lesson is perfect for you! Today, we will look at idioms from the world of health and medicine. I will teach you ten idioms that seem like they have something to do with health but that mean something quite different. Most of them allow you to express how you feel emotionally or physically. We will cover expressions like rub salt in the wound, get a dose of your own medicine, scratch that itch, bitter pill to swallow, and more. These are useful idioms that native English speakers use regularly. So watch the video, and do the quiz to test your understanding!

Thanks Adam. Good lesson!
I check on my hand phone everyday to scratch the itch.
well used Astri :)
I got 7/10 and I’m really don’t understand number 9, I felt the answer is swallow that bitter pill, i think it’s more fiter. anyway thank Adam
it’s bad habit and you have to drop it
Hi Nguyen,
Swallow a bitter pill means doing something you don’t want to. Coffee addicts want to drink coffee. That’s the itch.
Hope this helps.
Thanks Adam, really nice lesson
Hi Adam)) What about OUT COLD ?
Hi Vladimir,
That means to pass out, or faint. Usually it’s a result of something, like a punch to the head or too much drinking alcohol.
Is that what you had in mind?

Adam, I couldn’t stop thinking about you and decided to scratch that itch and watch this video. Your lesson in the wee hours is just what the doctor ordered. Though, I nearly blacked out after learning that you have a girlfriend. Hearing about your second girlfriend was like rubbing salt on my wound. It really was a bitter pill to swallow.
:)
10/10! I really love your lessons about idioms))
Hi Adam, is it okay to use idioms in academic writing related to the medical field?

Thanks a million sir for your explaination
100/100 thanks Adam. you are a good teacher!
Thanks a lot, so helpful for those who are preparing advanced tests!
I have 1 question, if you don’t mind, something totally different: the negative of a “let’s”-expression, like: let’s go! Would that be “Let’s not go!”? Or rather “”Don’t let’s go!” (The latter seems weird to me, but alas! There’s no limit to learning.) Thanks!
I’ve got 10/10. I’m really so happy and thankful to my dear teacher-Mr. Adam.
Thanks this was pretty useful
