Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mr. Laine. I'd like to start by asking how you've been feeling over the past fortnight, especially your mood and energy levels.
En ole nukkunut kunnolla moneen viikkoon, ja olen tuntenut itseni todella alakuloiseksi joka päivä.
Have you noticed any changes in your appetite or sleep, and have you had any thoughts of harming yourself recently?
En ole ajatellut vahingoittaa itseäni, mutta ruokahaluni on kadonnut lähes kokonaan enkä ole nukkunut kunnolla.
That's helpful to know, thank you for being honest. I'd like to refer you to a psychologist under the Better Access initiative for ongoing support and counselling.
Kuulostaa hyvältä, mutta onko se kallista? Minulla ei ole yksityistä sairausvakuutusta.
Many psychologists bulk bill under Medicare, so you may not need private insurance at all. Your GP referral will stay valid for six months from today.
Selvä, se helpottaa. Pitäisikö minun myös harkita masennuslääkkeitä avuksi?
We could trial a low-dose antidepressant if you're open to that, but I'd want to review you again in two weeks to check for side effects.
En halua tuntea itseäni täysin tunteettomaksi lääkkeiden vuoksi, se pelottaa minua hieman.
That's a completely valid concern; we'll start with the smallest dose and monitor you closely. Let's book your follow-up at Prahran Clinic next Thursday morning.
Kiitos, tohtori. Tunnen jo oloni hieman helpottuneemmaksi, kun tiedän että voin saada apua ja seurantaa.
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.
- bulk billSelitä lyhyesti: 'lääkäri laskuttaa suoraan Medicarelta, potilaalle ei tule maksua' tai käytä ilmaisua 'Medicare-suoraveloitus'.
- medicareSano vain 'Medicare' sellaisenaan, se on erisnimi eikä sitä käännetä.
- gp referralSano 'lääkärin lähete' tai 'yleislääkärin lähete erikoislääkärille'.
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.
