Full transcript
Before we start today's session, could you walk me through exactly how the injury happened and confirm which day it occurred?
Se tapahtui viime maanantaina töissä, kun nostin raskaita laatikoita varastossa. Selkäni antoi periksi yhtäkkiä ja kipu oli heti todella kova.
On a scale from zero to ten, how severe would you rate the pain right now, and does it radiate down either leg at all?
Kipu on nyt noin seitsemän kymmenestä, ja se säteilee ajoittain oikeaan jalkaan asti. En pysty kumartumaan eteenpäin ollenkaan, ja nukkuminen on ollut vaikeaa.
This looks like it could involve a disc in your lower back. I'd like you to see your GP first, so they can arrange the proper referral before any MRI scan.
Selvä, käyn siis ensin lääkärillä. Onko tutkimus sitten ilmainen, vai joudunko maksamaan siitä itse?
With a GP referral, Medicare usually covers most of the scan cost, though some clinics still charge a small gap fee, similar to those near Fiona Stanley Hospital.
Se helpottaa mieltäni. Voinko silti palata nostotöihin ennen kuin tutkimuksen tulokset ovat valmiit?
No, please avoid any heavy lifting, twisting or bending until the scan results come back, which should be around ten days from today.
Entä kipulääkkeet? Voinko ottaa ibuprofeenia siihen asti, vai onko se vaarallista selälle?
Ibuprofen should be fine unless you have stomach ulcers, kidney problems or are pregnant—please check with your GP first if you're at all unsure.
Selvä, minulla ei ole mahavaivoja eikä munuaisongelmia, joten otan ibuprofeenia varovasti. Kiitos avusta, varaan ajan lääkärille jo tänään.
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.
- gp referralSano 'lääkärin lähete' tai 'yleislääkärin lähete erikoislääkärille'.
- medicareSano vain 'Medicare' sellaisenaan, se on erisnimi eikä sitä käännetä.
- gap feeKäännä 'omavastuuosuus' tai selitä 'erotus, jonka potilas maksaa itse Medicaren korvauksen jälkeen'.
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.
