A clinic (or outpatient clinic or ambulatory care clinic) is a health care facility that is primarily devoted to the care of outpatients. Clinics can be privately operated or publicly managed and funded, and typically cover the primary health care needs of populations in local communities, in contrast to larger hospitals which offer specialized treatments and admit inpatients for overnight stays. Some clinics grow to be institutions as large as major hospitals, or become associated with a hospital or medical school, while retaining the name “clinic."
Clinics are often associated with general medical practice, run by one or several general practitioners or practice managers. Physiotherapy clinics are usually operated by physiotherapists and psychology clinics by clinical psychologists, and so on for each health profession. Some clinics are operated in-house by employers, government organizations or hospitals and some clinical services are outsourced to private corporations, specialising in provision of health services. In China, for example, owners of those clinics do not have formal medical education. Health care in India, China, Russia and Africa is provided to vast rural areas by mobile health clinics or roadside dispensaries, some of which integrate traditional health practices. In India these traditional clinics provide ayurvedic medicine and unani herbal medical practice. In each of these countries traditional medicine tends to be a hereditary practice.
Come and wind your belly
Come and wind it for me
Oh my Mother Anna knew
Oh my Mother Anna knew
If all the piggies don't don't whine
Then you keep it here with mine
Doko won the magic prize
Taken from Mother, a song song for Ella
Taken from Mother, a song song aglow
Cheeky boy sits on the side side forever
Cheeky boy who snuffles in the snow
Come and whip up for one, whip up for two
Oh our Mother Anna knew
Oh my Mother Anna knew
If all the doggies don't don't pine
Then you keep it here with mine
Doko won the magic prize
Taken from Mother, a song song for Ella
Taken from Mother, a song song aglow
Cheeky boy sits on the side side forever
All the guns, guns were never once Arthur's no
Come and veto the rose, veto for me
Oh my Mother Anna knew
If all the doggie don't don't pine
Then you keep them undermined
Keep them undermined
Doko won the magic prize
