Full transcript
Mrs. Desai, I'm Doctor Whitfield, the neurologist looking after your father since his fall. We suspect bleeding near the brain and need a lumbar puncture to check the fluid.
લમ્બર પંક્ચર એટલે શું, ડોક્ટર? અને શું એમાં કોઈ જોખમ છે?
It's a needle test in the lower back, taking about fifteen minutes. Risks include mild headache or slight bleeding, but serious infection is rare if we follow sterile procedure.
એ ટેસ્ટનો રિપોર્ટ ક્યારે મળશે? અને શું આ ફોર્મ પર સહી કરવી જરૂરી છે?
Results usually take about twenty-four hours to come back. This consent form is for the lumbar puncture only, not surgery — if you don't sign, we cannot proceed today.
સહી કરતાં પહેલાં, શું ટેસ્ટ પછી મારા પિતાને આરામ કરવો પડશે?
Yes, he'll need to lie flat for about two hours afterward to prevent headache, then he can rest normally on the ward.
શું આ ટેસ્ટ માટે અમારે કોઈ પૈસા ચૂકવવા પડશે?
As a public patient at Nepean Hospital, this test is provided free through the public hospital system, not billed separately through Medicare.
ભલે, હું સહી કરું છું. પરિણામ ક્યારે જાણવા મળશે?
Since results take about a day, I'll return tomorrow morning once they're ready to explain everything, though the ward nurse can update you sooner if needed.
આભાર, ડોક્ટર. હું હમણાં જ આ ફોર્મ પર સહી કરી દઉં છું.
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.
- Public hospital'public hospital' ને 'સરકારી હોસ્પિટલ' કહેવું; જરૂર પડે તો Medicare સાથે જોડીને સમજાવવું.
- MedicareMedicare શબ્દ અંગ્રેજીમાં જ બોલવો, કારણ કે આ એક પ્રોપર નાઉન અને ઓફિશિયલ સ્કીમનું નામ છે.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
