Full transcript
Good afternoon, Mr Steyn. I see you've booked in about a red, irritated eye that started a few days ago. Can you tell me more?
Goeiemiddag, dokter. My linkeroog is baie rooi en jeukerig, en daar's 'n taai geel afskeiding wat elke oggend my ooglede vasplak.
Is the discharge yellow or clear, and how many days has this been going on? Do you wear contact lenses regularly?
Dit is geel, dokter, en dit het al drie dae aan die gang. Ek dra soms kontaklense, maar ek het dit nie geskoon nie sedert dit begin het.
This looks like bacterial conjunctivitis. I'll prescribe antibiotic eye drops four times daily for five days, and please wash your hands often.
Is dit aansteeklik, dokter? Ek werk môre by die kassier by Woolworths en wil nie ander mense siek maak nie.
You should stay home from work until the discharge clears completely, avoid sharing towels or pillows, and wash your hands regularly to stop it spreading.
Verstaan, dokter. Wanneer kan ek weer my kontaklense dra? Na hoeveel dae sal dit veilig wees?
No contact lenses until you've finished the full course of drops. Chemist Warehouse nearby should have them in stock this afternoon.
Ek verstaan, dokter. My dogtertjie het ook rooi oë vanoggend – kan sy nog na kleuterskool toe gaan, of moet sy ook tuis bly?
Your daughter should stay home from childcare until there's been no discharge for twenty-four hours. Come back if things aren't better within five days.
Dankie vir die verduideliking, dokter. Ek sal alles doen soos u gesê het. As dit nie binne vyf dae beter word nie, moet ek dan weer 'n afspraak maak?

Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
