Full transcript
Good afternoon, Mrs. Hoffmann. It's been one week since your rhinoplasty at St Vincent's Private Hospital. How is the swelling and discomfort today?
Es schmerzt noch ein bisschen, aber die Schwellung geht langsam zurück. Werden die Narben später sehr sichtbar sein, und wann sehe ich Sie das nächste Mal zur Nachuntersuchung?
The scars along the nostril base will fade significantly within months and are barely visible from a normal distance. I'll see you again in six weeks for your follow-up appointment.
Das beruhigt mich wirklich. Darf ich meine Arme schon wieder normal bewegen, oder sollte ich schwere Dinge lieber weiterhin vermeiden?
You can move your arms normally, but please avoid lifting anything heavier than five kilograms for another four weeks, unless the swelling has fully resolved.
Danke, das ist gut zu wissen. Muss ich weiterhin Schmerzmittel nehmen, oder kann ich jetzt damit aufhören?
You can stop the stronger painkillers now, but don't take ibuprofen unless I've specifically approved it, since it may increase bleeding risk.
Verstanden. Worauf sollte ich besonders achten, falls sich eine Infektion an der Wunde entwickelt?
Watch for fever, increasing redness, or any yellow discharge from the incision. If you notice these, call the clinic immediately rather than waiting.
Ab wann darf ich mit der Narbencreme beginnen, die Sie mir empfohlen hatten?
Start the scar cream in two weeks, once the stitches are fully healed. I'll check everything again at your six-week follow-up.
Ausgezeichnet, vielen Dank für die genaue Erklärung. Dann sehe ich Sie also in sechs Wochen zur Nachuntersuchung.

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.
