French pharmacists can dispense a substantial range of medications OTC that require prescriptions in the UK or US. For ongoing prescriptions from your home country, bring the original packaging and a copy of the prescription; pharmacists may be able to advise on French equivalents but cannot dispense full prescriptions without a French doctor. For emergency prescription situations, see a doctor at an urgence (A&E) or a SOS Medecins service.",{"q":47,"a":48},"Does my EHIC or GHIC card work in France?","Yes for EU and UK residents. The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) for EU citizens and the UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) for UK residents give access to medically necessary state-provided healthcare in France at the same conditions and cost as French residents. You typically pay upfront and claim reimbursement. The card does not replace travel insurance for repatriation, private treatment, or non-emergency care.",{"q":50,"a":51},"What is the French equivalent of A&E or the emergency room?","'Les urgences' (always plural in French) is the department for emergency care. For non-emergency same-day medical needs in major cities, 'SOS Medecins' provides home visits and urgent consultations; 'Maison medicale de garde' is a same-day urgent care centre. For genuinely life-threatening situations, call SAMU (15) or 112 for an ambulance.",{"q":53,"a":54},"How do I describe pain levels in French?","The pain-scale convention is 1-10 ('sur une echelle de 1 a 10' - on a scale of 1 to 10) as in English-speaking medicine. Useful descriptors: 'aigue' (sharp), 'sourde' (dull), 'pulsatile' (throbbing), 'constante' (constant), 'intermittente' (intermittent). 'Je souffre' is a stronger statement than 'j'ai mal' - use it when you genuinely need to communicate severity.","Medical interactions are the highest-stakes language situations a learner is likely to face.
