Full transcript
Mr. Hodžić, your cataract surgery is booked at Nepean Hospital next Thursday. It's day surgery, lasting about twenty minutes, done under local anaesthetic while you stay awake.
Znači, bit ću budan cijelo vrijeme? Neće li mi biti neprijatno ako vidim šta rade s okom?
Yes, you'll be awake but lightly sedated. The eye is fully numbed, so you won't feel pain, and a drape blocks your view of the instruments.
Hoću li primijetiti razliku odmah nakon operacije, ili treba vremena da vid postane bolji?
Right after surgery your vision will be blurry, not clear. It usually sharpens within twenty-four hours, and by your next-day check-up you'll notice real improvement.
Hoće li me oko boljeti nakon operacije, i koliko dugo traje ta nelagoda?
You may feel mild grittiness, not sharp pain. That discomfort usually settles within two to three days. Antibiotic drops four times daily help it heal faster.
Koliko dugo trebam koristiti te kapi, i moram li ih koristiti tačno u isto vrijeme svaki dan?
Use the drops four times daily for one week, then twice daily for another week. They don't need the exact same time, just evenly spaced.
Poslije operacije ne mogu voziti. Može li bolnica organizirati prevoz, ili taksi za mene?
The hospital can't arrange a taxi directly, but we'll give you a community transport contact number. You may book your own taxi, though you mustn't drive for twenty-four hours.
Hvala vam, to je od velike pomoći. Pozvat ću sina da me odveze, a imat ću i taj broj kod sebe.

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.
