Full transcript
Before we start today's review, please tell me more about what happened on Saturday night when your breathing suddenly got much worse.
Ja, ek het omtrent middernag wakker geword en kon skaars asemhaal. My bors het baie styf gevoel en ek het aanhoudend gehoes, so ek het dadelik my blou pomp gebruik.
How many puffs of the blue reliever inhaler did you use, and did the wheezing settle within about twenty minutes afterwards?
Ek het vier keer gepomp, maar die piepgeluid het nie binne twintig minute verbeter nie, so ek moes na die noodgevalle-eenheid by Ballarat Base Hospital gaan.
Because your symptoms didn't improve after using the reliever, I'd like to refer you for a spirometry test and update your written asthma action plan.
Goed, ek stem saam. Wanneer moet ek vir die longtoets gaan, en is dit by dieselfde hospitaal as laas keer?
The spirometry test will be at Grampians Health next Thursday at nine thirty in the morning, and we'll also review your current preventer dosage together.
Dankie daarvoor. Ek is amper uit my voorkomer-inhaleerder - kan ek dit by Chemist Warehouse gaan haal voordat ek Donderdag daar kom?
Yes, that's fine, as long as the pharmacist still has your current prescription on file, you can collect it before Thursday's appointment.
Wonderlik, dan sal ek dit vandag gaan haal. Kan u my asseblief ook weer wys hoe om die inhaleerder saam met die spacer reg te gebruik?
Of course - shake the inhaler well, take four slow, steady puffs through the spacer, and we'll check your technique again on Thursday.
Baie dankie, dokter. Ek is net 'n bietjie bekommerd oor die stuifmeelseisoen wat nou aankom - ek hoop dit maak my asma nie erger nie.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- asthma action planVertaal as 'asma-aksieplan' — dit is duidelik en direk verstaanbaar.
Practise it
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.
