Full transcript
Mr. Papadopoulos, walk me through exactly what happened to your back while you were lifting boxes at the warehouse in Blacktown last Thursday.
Έσκυψα να σηκώσω ένα βαρύ κιβώτιο στην αποθήκη και ένιωσα ξαφνικά έναν πολύ οξύ πόνο στη μέση μου. Δεν μπορούσα να ισιώσω την πλάτη μου και ο πόνος κατέβαινε μέχρι το δεξί μου πόδι.
On a scale from zero to ten, how severe is the pain now, and does sitting for a long time make it worse?
Τώρα ο πόνος είναι γύρω στο επτά, με το δέκα να είναι ο χειρότερος. Όταν κάθομαι πάνω από είκοσι λεπτά, ο πόνος χειροτερεύει και νιώθω μούδιασμα στο πόδι μου.
I'll examine your spine and check your reflexes. If there's no improvement within two weeks, we'll refer you for an X-ray at Nepean Hospital.
Καταλαβαίνω, γιατρέ. Ανησυχώ όμως πολύ, γιατί δεν μπορώ να σταθώ όρθιος πάνω από δέκα λεπτά χωρίς να πονάω αφόρητα.
That's helpful information. I'll also give you gentle stretching exercises, and I don't want you lifting anything heavier than three kilograms until your next appointment.
Εντάξει, θα προσέχω με τα βάρη. Πρέπει να ενημερώσω και τον εργοδότη μου στην αποθήκη για την κατάστασή μου;
Yes, please notify your employer today, and we'll lodge a workers compensation claim through icare so your treatment costs are properly covered.
Πολύ καλά, δεν ήξερα ότι υπάρχει τέτοια κάλυψη μέσω του εργοδότη μου. Πόσες συνεδρίες φυσιοθεραπείας θα χρειαστώ περίπου;
Typically six sessions over three weeks, but if your symptoms don't settle, I'll refer you to a specialist for further assessment.
Εντάξει, σας ευχαριστώ πολύ για τις εξηγήσεις. Θα κλείσω ραντεβού για την επόμενη Παρασκευή τότε.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks

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.
