If you are sick, you can call 120 to ask for an ambulance(救护车Jiu4 Hu4 Che1) in China. Hospital is called 医院(Yi 1 Yuan 4) in Chinese.

When you are in a hospital, you must register(挂号Gua 4 Hao 4) first. The reception will ask you which office you want to choose, and you should say:
内科(Nei 4 Ke 1) = internal medicine
外科(Wai 4 Ke 1) = surgery
牙科(Ya 2 Ke 1) = dentistry
儿科(Er 2 Ke 1) = paediatrics
妇科(Fu 4 Ke 1) = maternity
etc. etc.

Or you can also describe your illness to the reception and she will help you to choose the right office and doctor.

You might say:

I've a headache. = 我头疼(Wo 3 Tou 2 Teng 2)
I have diarrhea. = 我拉肚子(Wo 3 La 1 Du 4 Zi)
I have a stomachache. = 我胃疼(Wo 3 Wei 4 Teng 2) or 我肚子疼(Wo 3 Du 4 Zi Teng 2)
I have a fever. = 我发烧了(Wo 3 Fa 1 Shao 1 Le)
I have caught a cold. = 我感冒了(Wo 3 Gan 3 Mao 4 Le)

Many Chinese doctors can't say English fluently to satisfy foreigners. So if you can't speak fluent Chinese, ask a Chinese friend to go with you.

QQian, I suggest you to input Pinyin too. Otherwise, less people can understand what you want to say.
