Full transcript
Anna, can you tell me exactly when these headaches started, how often they occur each week, and what seems to trigger them?
No, ne alkoivat kai pari viikkoa sitten, ja nyt niitä tulee melkein joka päivä, varsinkin iltapäivisin kun olen ollut pitkään tietokoneella.
On a scale from one to ten, how severe is the pain, and have you noticed any blurred vision, dizziness, or nausea with it?
Kipu on aika kova, ehkä seitsemän kymmenestä, ja se tuntuu enemmän oikealla puolella. Joskus näkö menee vähän sumeaksi, mutta en ole oksentanut.
Have you taken any painkillers so far, and how has your sleep and stress levels been over the past two weeks?
Olen ottanut parasetamolia, mutta se ei oikein auta. Nukun huonosti, ja töissä on ollut paljon stressiä viime aikoina.
Since you've had blurred vision alongside the pain, I'd like to refer you for an MRI scan at St Vincent's Hospital, just to rule anything serious out.
Onko se kuvaus kallis, ja joudunko odottamaan kauan? En halua jonottaa viikkokausia, jos kyseessä on jotain vakavaa.
That scan is usually bulk-billed under Medicare, and the wait is normally around ten days, though urgent referrals get seen much sooner.
Selvä, se kuulostaa hyvältä. Entä jos kipu pahenee ennen sitä aikaa, pitäisikö minun mennä suoraan ensiapuun?
I'll prescribe a stronger tablet, five hundred milligrams twice daily, and if the headaches don't ease within a week, come back immediately.
Kiitos, otan tabletit ohjeiden mukaan. Soitan heti, jos päänsärky ei helpota viikon sisällä.
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.
- medicareSano vain 'Medicare' sellaisenaan, se on erisnimi eikä sitä käännetä.
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.
