Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mrs. Reyes. How have you been feeling since our last appointment three weeks ago, especially your mood and sleep?
Hindi maganda ang pakiramdam ko, Dok. Halos araw-araw akong umiiyak, wala akong ganang gumawa ng kahit ano, at parang laging pagod ang katawan ko.
Have you noticed any changes in your appetite or sleep, and have you had any thoughts of harming yourself recently?
Kumakain pa rin ako pero konti na lang, parang nawawalan na ng gana. Pero hindi ko iniisip na saktan ang sarili ko, Dok.
I'd like to refer you to a psychologist under a Mental Health Care Plan, which covers ten sessions this calendar year, so you can get regular support.
Salamat po, pero wala akong private health insurance. Kaya ba kong bayaran ang mga sesyon na iyon?
Many psychologists bulk bill through Medicare, so you might not have to pay anything out of pocket for each session, especially early on.
Mabuti naman po. Gaano po katagal bago ako makakuha ng appointment sa psychologist?
The wait is usually about two weeks. If you ever feel unsafe before your appointment, please call Lifeline anytime, day or night, for immediate support.
Sige po, Dok. May epekto po ba ang gamot na iyon na dapat kong bantayan?
I can prescribe a low-dose antidepressant today, and we'll review how it's working in four weeks, unless you experience side effects sooner.
Salamat po talaga, Dok. Susubukan ko pong sundin ang lahat ng sinabi ninyo, at babalik ako sa loob ng apat na linggo.
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.
- mental health care planGamitin ang "mental health care plan" o ipaliwanag bilang "plano ng pangangalaga sa kalusugang pangkaisipan mula sa doktor."
- bulk billPanatilihin ang terminong 'bulk bill' sa Ingles o gamitin ang parirala na 'libreng konsulta sa ilalim ng Medicare' bilang paliwanag.
- medicarePanatilihin ang salitang "Medicare" dahil ito ay pangalan ng programa at walang katumbas sa Filipino.
- out of pocketIsalin bilang "sariling gastos" o "babayaran mula sa sariling bulsa."
- lifelinePanatilihin ang pangalan bilang "Lifeline" dahil ito ay pangalan ng partikular na organisasyon.
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.
