Full transcript
Mrs Papadopoulos, I'm Sarah, the palliative care nurse looking after your father this week at Liverpool Hospital. Can you tell me how he's been sleeping and eating since Thursday?
Δεν κοιμάται καλά τις τελευταίες νύχτες και τρώει πολύ λίγο, μόνο λίγο σούπα το μεσημέρι. Ανησυχούμε πολύ για την κατάστασή του.
That's helpful, thank you. The doctor would like to discuss his prognosis and comfort options with the family this afternoon, if that suits everyone.
Ανησυχούμε λίγο για τη μορφίνη, μήπως τον κάνει να κοιμάται συνέχεια. Μπορεί να ρυθμιστεί η δόση ώστε να είναι πιο άνετος αλλά ξύπνιος;
We can adjust the dose so he's comfortable without being too drowsy, unless his pain increases significantly overnight.
Πότε θα γίνει η συνάντηση σήμερα το απόγευμα; Μπορεί να έρθει και ο αδερφός μου, ο Νίκος, ή είναι μόνο για εμένα;
Yes, Nikos is very welcome to join us. The meeting starts at half past two in the family room, then I'll explain the community palliative care referral afterwards.
Ευχαριστώ πολύ, θα του πω αμέσως. Τι σημαίνει αυτή η παραπομπή για κατ' οίκον φροντίδα, θα έρχεται κάποιος καθημερινά;
The community team can visit up to three times a week, providing nursing care, equipment and support so he can stay comfortable at home.
Θα μπορούσαμε να έχουμε ένα ειδικό κρεβάτι και φιάλη οξυγόνου στο σπίτι; Δεν έχουμε τέτοιο εξοπλισμό αυτή τη στιγμή.
Yes, the team can arrange a hospital bed and oxygen concentrator, unless your home doesn't have suitable access, which we'll assess during the visit.
Σας ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ για όλη αυτή τη βοήθεια. Θα ενημερώσω τον Νίκο και θα είμαστε εκεί στις δυόμισι.

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.
