Full transcript
Mr. Botha, the ultrasound and blood tests came back, and I need to discuss some important findings about your liver today.
Wat presies het julle gekry, dokter? Is dit iets ernstigs, of kan dit dalk niks wees nie?
There's a mass about three point five centimetres in your liver. We'll need a biopsy at Royal Adelaide Hospital to confirm what it is.
Beteken dit ek het kanker? Kan hulle dit nie net uitsny nie, of moet ek eers wag vir die toets se uitslag?
I can't confirm cancer without the biopsy results, so we've booked you in for Thursday morning at Royal Adelaide Hospital, nine o'clock.
Sal die biopsie seer wees? En hoe lank sal dit vat voordat ons regtig weet wat aangaan met my lewer?
Some patients feel mild discomfort afterwards, but it's usually manageable with rest. Results normally take about five days, then we'll plan the next steps together.
Moet ek nou by my werk afwesig wees, en sal my mediese fonds vir al hierdie toetse en die biopsie betaal?
Medicare should cover most of the biopsy and specialist visit costs. If it confirms cancer, we'll refer you to the oncology team straight away, without delay.
Moet ek my dieet nou dadelik verander, of my hele leefstyl aanpas voordat ons die uitslag op Donderdag kry?
Try to avoid alcohol and eat lightly, but you don't need to overhaul everything before Thursday's appointment. Just rest and stay well hydrated.
Dankie, dokter. Ek sal Donderdagoggend daar wees, en ek sal probeer om nie te veel te bekommer voor die uitslag 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.
- medicareSê net 'Medicare' soos dit is; dit is 'n eiename en het geen Afrikaanse vertaling nie.
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.
