Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Ingrid. Can you tell me a bit about how your eating patterns have changed over the past few weeks?
Ich esse kaum noch etwas, ich überspringe oft das Mittagessen komplett, und meine Schwester meinte, ich hätte in den letzten drei Wochen deutlich abgenommen.
I'd like to refer you to the Eating Disorders Program at Concord Repatriation General Hospital, which specialises in treatment like this. Would that suit you?
Muss ich dafür ins Krankenhaus? Ich habe etwas Angst davor, weil meine Cousine dort einmal stationär behandelt wurde.
No, it's a fully outpatient program, not an admission. You'd see a dietitian and a psychologist weekly for around ten weeks.
Wird das von Medicare übernommen, oder muss ich das selbst bezahlen?
Under a mental health care plan, Medicare covers up to ten sessions each calendar year, so most of your treatment costs are rebated.
Und was passiert, wenn ich mal einen Termin verpasse? Verliere ich dann meinen Platz im Programm?
If you miss a session without at least twenty-four hours' notice, you won't lose your place in the program, but we'll ask you to reschedule quickly.
Das beruhigt mich sehr. Können wir gleich jetzt einen festen Termin für nächste Woche ausmachen?
Great. How about Thursday the 14th at half past nine for your first dietitian appointment? Does that time work well for you?
Ja, das passt gut. Vielen Dank, dass Sie mir alles so genau erklärt haben.
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.
- mental health care planMan sagt 'Mental Health Care Plan' oder erklärt es als 'ärztlicher Behandlungsplan für psychische Gesundheit, der Medicare-Zuschüsse für Psychologensitzungen ermöglicht'.
- medicareMan lässt den Begriff als 'Medicare' stehen, da es ein Eigenname ohne deutsches Äquivalent ist; bei Bedarf kurz erklären als 'das australische öffentliche Krankenversicherungssystem'.
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.
