Full transcript
Let's start with your back injury — can you tell me exactly when the pain began, what you were doing, and how it happened at work today?
Het gebeurde drie dagen geleden, op mijn werk in het magazijn in Dandenong. Ik tilde een zware doos op en voelde meteen een scherpe pijn in mijn onderrug.
On a scale from zero to ten, how bad is the pain now, and does it radiate down into your leg or foot at all?
De pijn is best erg, misschien een zeven op tien. Het trekt ook door naar mijn rechterbeen, vooral als ik lang zit.
I'd like to refer you for an X-ray at Monash Health, and start you on six sessions of physiotherapy over the next four weeks.
Kan ik dan nog wel werken? Ik maak me zorgen over mijn baan, want we hebben het al druk in het magazijn.
You shouldn't return to full warehouse duties for at least two weeks — only light, seated tasks until your back improves properly again.
Kunt u een verklaring voor mijn werkgever schrijven? Ze willen waarschijnlijk weten hoe lang ik geen zware dingen mag tillen.
I'll write you a medical certificate for your employer, plus a referral letter for the imaging appointment at Monash Health this week.
Mag ik ook iets tegen de pijn nemen? Ik heb thuis wel paracetamol, maar geen ibuprofen.
Take paracetamol regularly for the pain, but avoid ibuprofen if you have any stomach issues, since it can irritate your gut lining.
Dank u wel, dokter. Dan kom ik over vier weken terug voor de controle en de foto's.

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.
