For a toothache you might want to see a dentist. A dentist in Dutch is called a "tandarts". Pain killers can be obtained in the "drogisterij" or "apotheek" and are called "pijnstillers". By the way an "uitsmijter" is made with sunny-side up eggs, layered over really good ham, served on top of toast.

Chest pain is called "borstpijn" in Dutch. Check your medical insurance coverage *before* going abroad to make sure it is valid overseas. Otherwise, be prepared to pay cash, a lot of it, on the spot.
5. Day Five - You did not have a heart attack, just a very severe attack of wind. You are finally ready to go out again and explore Amsterdam.

Answer: Diarree

Medication can be found in the "supermarkt" and the "drogisterij". Try "Norit" ... It generally works very well.
7. Day Seven - You finally recovered from all the above. You enjoy Amsterdam by walking around on the cobblestone streets. You trip over a loose cobble and fall. Now your ankle is sprained. What is a sprained ankle called in Dutch ?

Answer: Een verstuikte enkel

After a visit to the "dokter" you might want to get some greased cotton ("vette watten" in Dutch) and an ace bandage ("verband" in Dutch).
8. Day Eight- No, your ankle wasn't sprained ... you broke a bone! What is a broken bone called in Dutch?

You most likely would need to go to the "ziekenhuis" again. I am sorry. Just be careful and enjoy your stay in beautiful Holland.
