two translation questions

[Larisa Privalskaya]

Терапевт is close to a general physician: (s)he is supposed to treat all
conditions that are not supposed to be treated by medical specialists of
more narrow specializations (cardiologists, ophtalmologists etc.). (S)he
also gives referrals to the above specialists, when needed.
