     Most people go to a doctor in their own town or suburb. But people in the Australian outback can't get to

a doctor quickly. The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on

a two-way radio. This special doctor is called the "flying doctor". He visits sick people by plane.

     When someone is sick, the doctor has to fly to the person's home. His plane lands on a flat piece of ground

near the person's house. Sometimes has to take the patients to hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600 people

to hospital each year.

     However, most of time the person isn't very sick, and the doctor doesn't have to visit. He can give advice

on the radio from the office at the flying center. He can tell the patient to use some medicine from a special

medicine chest (箱子). There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube and packet

in the chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this, "Take two tables from bottle 5 every

four hours."
