Medical English Vocabulary: Surgery, Recovery, and Hospital Terms Explained | Learn English in Context

🏥 What do you say when you check into a hospital? What is a copay? What does debilitating mean?

In this episode of the Learn English Podcast, we walk through a real surgery day — from preparation and check-in to anesthesia, recovery, and rehabilitation. Every step is explained using real American medical English vocabulary so you can understand what people mean and use these expressions confidently yourself.

Designed for intermediate English learners (B1–B2), this episode builds essential vocabulary around health, medicine, and hospitals — the kind of real-world English you need whether you are visiting the United States, working in healthcare, or simply want to understand medical conversations.
