Full transcript
Mrs. Wijaya, I'm Dr. Collins from the trauma team at Liverpool Hospital. Your father's CT scan shows a moderate traumatic brain injury from the fall.
Astaga, bagaimana ceritanya beliau bisa jatuh? Apakah otaknya bengkak, Dokter, atau ada pendarahan yang perlu dioperasi?
There's some swelling but no active bleeding needing surgery right now. We'll monitor him closely in the intensive care unit for the next twenty-four hours.
Apakah Bapak sudah sadar sekarang, Dokter? Dan berapa lama beliau tidak sadarkan diri sejak terjatuh tadi?
He's opening his eyes and responding to voice now, scoring fourteen out of fifteen on our consciousness scale. He was unconscious for about twelve minutes after the fall.
Syukurlah dia sudah sadar. Apakah itu berarti tidak ada kerusakan otak yang permanen, Dokter?
We can't confirm long-term damage yet. If his confusion or headaches worsen overnight, we'll order another CT scan tomorrow morning to check again.
Baik, saya mengerti. Tanda-tanda apa saja yang harus saya waspadai selama beberapa hari ke depan?
Watch for repeated vomiting, a severe worsening headache, or unequal pupil size. Bring him back immediately if he becomes drowsy, confused, or hard to wake.
Berapa lama beliau harus dirawat di rumah sakit sebelum boleh pulang ke rumah?
He'll likely stay three to five days, depending on how quickly he recovers. We won't discharge him unless he's stable, alert, and eating normally.
Baik, saya akan tetap menemaninya di sini. Terima kasih banyak atas penjelasan Anda, Dokter.
