Full transcript
Thanks for coming in, Mr. Laine. Before your gallbladder surgery on Thursday at Cairns Hospital, I need to check a few important details with you now.
Kiitos, hoitaja. Olen vähän hermostunut, koska minulla ei ole koskaan ollut leikkausta yleisanestesiassa aiemmin.
That's completely understandable, many patients feel that way. You must not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before, and please stop taking your aspirin three days prior.
Selvä, en syö enkä juo mitään keskiyön jälkeen. Entä verenpainelääkkeeni, pitäisikö minun ottaa ne normaalisti aamulla?
Yes, take your blood pressure tablets with a small sip of water that morning, unless your surgeon advises otherwise during today's consultation visit.
Selvä, kiitos. Minulla on muuten penisilliiniallergia, olen aina reagoinut siihen ihottumalla. Onko tämä jo merkitty tietoihini?
Yes, that's noted in your file already. Please arrive at Cairns Hospital by seven o'clock, two hours before your scheduled operation time.
Ymmärrän. Asun yksin, joten tarvitsenko jonkun hakemaan minut sairaalasta leikkauksen jälkeen?
Yes, you cannot drive yourself home after anaesthesia, so please arrange a family member or friend to collect you that afternoon.
Selvä, poikani voi hakea minut. Entä kipulääkkeet leikkauksen jälkeen, saanko ne heti sairaalasta mukaan?
Yes, you'll receive a five-day supply of pain relief before discharge, plus written instructions for your follow-up appointment next week.
Kiitos paljon kaikesta, hoitaja. Tunnen oloni nyt paljon rauhallisemmaksi ennen torstain leikkausta.

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.
