In my <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/phrasal-verbs-in-medical-english-part-1\/\">last post<\/a>, we looked at two of the four phrasal verbs I originally showed you in <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/phrasal-verbs-for-business-english-video-lesson-and-comic-strip\/\">a business English video lesson<\/a>. Now that we\u2019ve learned about how to use \u201cgo on\u201d and \u201ccarry out,\u201d let\u2019s take a look at the next two phrasal verbs. Below, read all about the way that \u201cset up\u201d and \u201cpoint out\u201d are used in English language hospitals and clinics.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cSet up\u201d in the medical profession<\/h2>\n<p>The use of \u201cset up\u201d in medicine is a lot like the use of \u201cset up\u201d in other workplace settings. \u201cSet up\u201d means to arrange something or physically put something together.<\/p>\n<p>Rounds\u2014the activity of visiting and talking to different patients\u2014can be <em>set up<\/em> as well as <em>carried out<\/em>. To set up a round is to arrange a schedule that determines which doctor or nurse will visit the patients on certain days. Setting up a schedule usually also involves deciding the timetables of patient visits\u2014how long each patient visit will take, which patients are seen first and last, that sort of thing.<\/p>\n<p>Heavy medical equipment with multiple parts is said to be set up. An ultrasound or x-ray must be set up before they can be used on a patient. And an IV, feeding tube, or other invasive medical device would certainly be set up\u2014they involve the carful combination of different machine parts with human body parts.<\/p>\n<p>A medical procedure that has to be done only under specific physical conditions is set up. Surgeries are set up when surgical tools are arranged in a room, all participants sanitize their hands and put on gloves, and the patient is put to sleep with sedative medicine. In a less complex example, you could also say that a blood pressure measurement is \u201cset up,\u201d because you need to have the patient roll up his or her sleeve, and then you need to strap on the blood pressure arm cuff, fill it with air, release the air, and watch the meter.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cPoint out\u201d in the medical profession<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cPoint out\u201d can be used to draw attention to information, as in \u201cI\u2019d like to point out that the patient took this medicine before, and it didn\u2019t help.\u201d This phrase can also be used to point attention to something physical, as in \u201clet me point out the fracture on the rib, here in the x-ray.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it\u2019s used to draw attention to a piece of information, \u201cpoint out\u201d has a forceful connotation. Use of the phrase suggests authority, and may even suggest that you\u2019re annoyed that no one has seemed to notice the piece of information you are now mentioning.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, in medical settings \u201cpoint out\u201d is often used by people in management. Lead doctors or head nurses will point out information to lower-ranking medical staff. A doctor may point out that nurse forgot to visit every patient on her rounds, or a nurse may point out that a nurse\u2019s assistant forgot to properly wash their hands before working with a patient. You\u2019d only want to use \u201cpoint out\u201d with a colleague in an urgent or serious situation, and you wouldn\u2019t want to \u201cpoint out\u201d information to your boss in a clinic or hospital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPoint out\u201d has a more neutral connotation when it\u2019s used to draw attention to something physical. It\u2019s perfectly polite to point out a physical object or feature to your boss, your colleagues, people you supervise, or patients. You can point out an irregularity in a vital sign such as a patient\u2019s heartbeat. Often, you will also ask patients to point out things on their bodies, pointing out a spot where they feel pain or have a lump for example.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; This is my second post on the use of phrasal verbs in medical jobs.
