Full transcript
Can you walk me through exactly what happened when you fell off the ladder in your backyard this afternoon, and did you hit your head directly on the ground?
Olin siivoamassa kattokourua ja tikkaat luiskahtivat alta. Löin pääni suoraan sementtipihaan enkä ehtinyt tarttua mihinkään.
Did you lose consciousness at any point, even briefly, and if so, do you remember roughly how long that lasted for?
En oikein tiedä... luulen että olin tajuton ehkä pari minuuttia, mutta en ole varma, koska olin niin hämmentynyt.
Are you currently taking any blood-thinning medication, such as warfarin or aspirin, for a heart condition, or any other regular medication at all?
En käytä verenohennuslääkkeitä, mutta otan verenpainelääkettä joka aamu ja joskus särkylääkettä migreeniin.
We need to send you for a CT scan of your head here at Royal Hobart Hospital within the next 30 minutes, just to be safe.
Onko turvallista ottaa jotain särkyyn nyt, pääni jomottaa todella kovasti?
You can take paracetamol for the pain, but please don't take aspirin or ibuprofen until we've fully confirmed there's no internal bleeding.
Voinko mennä huomenna töihin? Olen rakennustyömaalla, ja meillä on tosi kiireinen viikko edessä.
Please rest quietly for the next 24 hours, don't drive or operate machinery, and see your GP promptly if any new symptoms appear.
Selvä, kiitos neuvoista. Lepään kotona ja soitan lääkärille heti, jos jotain outoa ilmenee.

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.
