Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mrs Rao. Before we discuss the reconstruction surgery, can you tell me if you've had any previous surgeries under general anaesthetic?
ಇಲ್ಲ, ಜನರಲ್ ಅನಸ್ತೀಶಿಯಾ ಅಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಾನು ಹಿಂದೆ ಎಂದೂ ಶಸ್ತ್ರಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ಮಾಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿಲ್ಲ, ಆದರೆ ಪೆನ್ಸಿಲಿನ್ಗೆ ನನಗೆ ಅಲರ್ಜಿ ಇದೆ ಎಂದು ವೈದ್ಯರು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದರು.
That's important to note — we'll avoid penicillin-based antibiotics. The reconstruction typically takes about four hours, and you'd stay at Epworth Geelong for three nights.
ಸರಿ, ಮೂರು ರಾತ್ರಿ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇರಬೇಕಾ? ನಾನು ಕೆಲಸಕ್ಕೆ ಎಷ್ಟು ವಾರ ರಜೆ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ?
Most patients need around six weeks off work, though this depends on whether your job involves heavy lifting. Do you do physical work?
ಹೌದು, ನಾನು ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಆರೈಕೆ ಕೇಂದ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇನೆ, ಮಕ್ಕಳನ್ನು ಎತ್ತಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಹಾಗಾದರೆ ನಾನು ಎಂಟು ವಾರ ರಜೆ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದೇ?
Yes, eight weeks would be safer given the lifting involved. I'll also refer you to a physiotherapist for post-surgical exercises starting week two.
ಈ ಶಸ್ತ್ರಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆಗೆ ಮೆಡಿಕೇರ್ ಮತ್ತು ನನ್ನ ಖಾಸಗಿ ವಿಮೆ ಎಷ್ಟು ವೆಚ್ಚ ಭರಿಸುತ್ತದೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಬಹುದೇ?
Medicare covers the reconstructive component since it's not cosmetic, but you'll need to check your private hospital cover for the exact gap payment.
ಗ್ಯಾಪ್ ಪೇಮೆಂಟ್ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ಪಡೆಯಲು ನಾನು ಯಾರನ್ನು ಸಂಪರ್ಕಿಸಬೇಕು?
Call your health fund directly with the item number I'll give you, and also speak to our billing office before the surgery date is confirmed.
ಸರಿ, ನಾನು ಇಂದೇ ನನ್ನ ವಿಮಾ ಕಂಪನಿಗೆ ಕರೆ ಮಾಡಿ ಐಟಂ ನಂಬರ್ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಕೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ, ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು.
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.
- medicare'Medicare' ಎಂಬ ಪದವನ್ನು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಬೇಕು, ಇದು ಒಂದು ನಿರ್ದಿಷ್ಟ ಸರ್ಕಾರಿ ಯೋಜನೆಯ ಹೆಸರು.
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.
