Full transcript
Tell me exactly what happened to your back, when the pain began, and what you were doing at work that day.
Nagsimula po ito noong Lunes, tatlong araw na ang nakalipas, habang nagbubuhat ako ng mabibigat na kahon sa bodega sa Wollongong. Matindi po ang sakit sa ibabang bahagi ng aking likod.
On a scale of one to ten, how severe is the pain right now, and does it shoot down into either leg?
Mga pito sa sampu po ang sakit ngayon, ngunit hindi ito kumakalat pababa sa aking binti. Matigas lang talaga at mahirap tumayo nang tuwid o yumuko.
Do you feel any numbness, tingling, or weakness in your legs, or any trouble controlling your bladder or bowel movements?
Wala po akong nararamdamang pamamanhid o panghihina sa aking mga binti, at normal naman po ang aking pag-ihi at pagdumi, Doc.
This looks like a muscle strain, not a disc injury. If it doesn't improve within two weeks, we'll arrange an X-ray at Wollongong Hospital to check further.
Puwede po ba akong bumalik agad sa trabaho, o magmaneho papunta sa opisina bukas, o kailangan ko munang magpahinga nang ilang araw?
Avoid heavy lifting, bending, and driving for now. I'll write a medical certificate for light duties for one week, then we'll reassess your progress.
Mayroon po bang ehersisyo o gamot na puwede ninyong ibigay para gumaan ang pananakit habang naghihintay ng follow-up?
Try gentle stretching exercises twice daily, and apply ice for twenty minutes at a time. Come back in two weeks, or sooner if the pain worsens suddenly.
Salamat po, Doc. Babalik po ako pagkatapos ng dalawang linggo, o mas maaga kung lalala ang sakit sa aking likod.

- light dutiesIsalin bilang 'magaang na tungkulin' o 'light duties' kung tumutukoy sa opisyal na termino sa trabaho.
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.
