Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mr Papadopoulos. Can you point to exactly where the pain is, and tell me when it first started?
Πονάει έντονα στη μέση, χαμηλά, και ξεκίνησε πριν τρεις μέρες όταν σήκωσα βαριά κιβώτια στη δουλειά. Ο πόνος φτάνει μέχρι το αριστερό μου πόδι.
Do you feel any numbness or tingling down that leg? Have you injured your back before, or experienced similar pain previously?
Όχι, δεν αισθάνομαι μούδιασμα, αλλά είμαι πολύ δύσκαμπτος το πρωί. Είχα παρόμοιο πρόβλημα πριν δύο χρόνια, αλλά πέρασε μόνο του.
I'll examine your back now, then decide if you need an ultrasound scan at Bendigo Health. We'll also start some gentle stretching exercises today.
Εντάξει, ευχαριστώ. Μπορείτε να μου δώσετε κάτι για τον πόνο; Ανησυχώ γιατί δεν μπορώ να λείψω πολύ από τη δουλειά.
I can't prescribe medication - please see your GP for an anti-inflammatory. Ice the area for twenty minutes, three times daily, and avoid heavy lifting. I'll certify one week off work.
Πότε μπορώ να επιστρέψω στη δουλειά; Μπορώ τουλάχιστον να οδηγήσω το αυτοκίνητό μου;
You can drive short distances if the pain stays manageable, but don't lift anything over five kilograms. Let's review your progress in two weeks.
Πότε θα γίνει το υπερηχογράφημα, και πόσο θα κοστίσει; Δεν έχω ιδιωτική ασφάλεια υγείας.
Medicare covers the ultrasound, so there's no cost to you. Bendigo Health can see you within one week — I'll confirm the appointment.
Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ. Θα κάνω τις ασκήσεις και θα ξεκουραστώ όπως μου είπατε.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks

- medicareΛέγεται ως όνομα, δηλαδή 'Medicare', χωρίς μετάφραση, όπως και στα αγγλικά.
Practise it
