Clarifying a Past Medicine Reaction

Under each segment: a model interpretation, the information points an examiner checks, and the easiest thing to miss. Try the segment yourself first, then open it. The model is one good way to say it; other wordings that keep every point score just as well.
Mr Han, let's check the medicine reaction recorded on 9 September. What part of the description would you like the GP to review?
Model answer and marking points
한 선생님, 9월 9일에 기록된 약물 반응을 확인해 볼게요. 기록된 내용 중 어떤 부분을 담당 의사 선생님께서 검토해 주셨으면 하세요?
What an examiner checks here:
- Mr Han addressed
- Medicine reaction recorded on 9 September
- question: which part of the description the patient wants the GP to review
Easy to miss: Keep 9 September as the record date, without assuming it was the reaction date.
구월 구일 기록에 약물 알레르기라고 적혀 있고, 얼굴이 붓고 숨이 찼다고 돼 있더라고요. 실제로는 메스껍고 어지러웠고, 붓거나 숨쉬기 힘든 적은 없었어요.
Model answer and marking points
The entry dated 9 September says I had a medicine allergy, with facial swelling and shortness of breath. What I actually had was nausea and dizziness. I never had any swelling or difficulty breathing.
What an examiner checks here:
- Entry dated 9 September labels reaction as medicine allergy
- Record describes facial swelling and shortness of breath
- Actual symptoms were nausea and dizziness
- No swelling or breathing difficulty experienced
Easy to miss: Distinguish the symptoms recorded from those actually experienced.

Interpret it aloud now →Thank you for clarifying. Which medicine had you taken, and how long did those symptoms last? I can add your account for the GP to assess.
Model answer and marking points
정확히 말씀해 주셔서 감사합니다. 어떤 약을 드셨고, 그 증상은 얼마나 오래 지속됐나요? 의사 선생님께서 판단하실 수 있도록 말씀하신 내용을 추가로 기록해 드릴 수 있어요.
What an examiner checks here:
- Thanks patient for clarifying
- question: which medicine the patient took
- question: how long the symptoms lasted
- Can add patient's account for GP assessment
Easy to miss: Ask about symptom duration, not how long the patient took the medicine.
아목시실린이었어요. 속이 메스껍고 어지러운 증상이 두 시간 정도 갔어요. 그때 먹었던 약 포장도 가져왔는데, 확인하는 데 도움이 될까요?
Model answer and marking points
It was amoxicillin. The nausea and dizziness lasted about two hours. I've also brought the packaging from the medicine I took then. Would that help you check which medicine it was?
What an examiner checks here:
- Medicine was amoxicillin
- Nausea and dizziness lasted about two hours
- Brought packaging from the medicine taken at the time
- question: whether packaging would help identify the medicine
Easy to miss: Two hours refers to symptom duration, not the time since taking the medicine.
Yes, the packaging will help identify the medicine. I'll add your account alongside the original allergy entry, which will remain unchanged until the GP reviews it.
Model answer and marking points
네, 포장이 있으면 어떤 약인지 확인하는 데 도움이 돼요. 기존 알레르기 기록에 덧붙여 말씀하신 내용을 기록하겠습니다. 원래 기록은 의사 선생님께서 검토하실 때까지 그대로 유지됩니다.
What an examiner checks here:
- Packaging will help identify the medicine
- Patient's account will be added alongside original allergy entry
- Original entry remains unchanged until GP review
Easy to miss: The clarification is added alongside the original entry; it does not replace it now.
그럼 알레르기라고 적힌 건 의사 선생님이 확인하신 뒤에 바뀔 수도 있다는 거군요. 다른 병원에서 그 기록을 보고 약을 못 준다고 할까 봐 걱정돼요.
Model answer and marking points
So the allergy entry could be changed after the doctor reviews it. I'm worried another clinic might see that record and say they can't give me medicine.
What an examiner checks here:
- Understands allergy entry could change after doctor's review
- Worried another clinic will see the record
- Concern that another clinic might refuse to provide medicine
Easy to miss: A possible change after review is not a promise that the allergy label will be removed.
The GP needs to assess whether that label should change. Until then, your clarification will sit alongside the existing entry in your record here in Ryde.
Model answer and marking points
그 알레르기 표시를 바꿔야 할지는 의사 선생님께서 판단하셔야 해요. 그때까지는 여기 라이드에 있는 저희 병원 진료기록에 기존 내용과 함께 정정해서 말씀하신 내용을 남겨 두겠습니다.
What an examiner checks here:
- GP must assess whether allergy label should change
- Clarification stays alongside existing entry until assessment
- Record is held here in Ryde
Easy to miss: The clarification stays in the local Ryde record; no change to other clinics' records is stated.
네, 이해했어요. 다음 진료가 십일월 오일인데, 그날 선생님이 이 내용을 보실 수 있을까요? 또 처음부터 설명해야 하는 건 아닌가 싶어서요.
Model answer and marking points
Yes, I understand. My next appointment is on 5 November. Will the doctor be able to see this information that day? I'm wondering whether I'll have to explain everything again from the beginning.
What an examiner checks here:
- Patient understands
- Next appointment is 5 November
- question: whether doctor can see this information that day
- Concern about having to explain everything again from the beginning
Easy to miss: Preserve the question about access to the information rather than promising the doctor will see it.
Your review is booked for 5 November. I'll flag your clarification for that appointment, but the GP may still ask questions to understand what happened fully.
Model answer and marking points
검토 진료는 11월 5일로 예약되어 있어요. 그날 진료 때 확인하실 수 있도록 말씀하신 내용에 표시해 두겠습니다. 다만 의사 선생님께서 당시 상황을 충분히 파악하시려고 추가로 질문하실 수도 있어요.
What an examiner checks here:
- Review appointment booked for 5 November
- Clarification will be flagged for that appointment
- GP may still ask questions
- Questions would help GP fully understand what happened
Easy to miss: Flagging the clarification does not mean the GP will have no further questions.
네, 다시 설명드리는 건 괜찮아요. 다만 숨이 찼던 적은 없으니까, 그 점도 꼭 남겨 주세요. 오늘 가져온 약 포장도 확인해 주시면 좋겠어요.
Model answer and marking points
Yes, I don't mind explaining it again. But I never had any shortness of breath, so please make sure that's recorded too. I'd also appreciate it if you could check the medicine packaging I brought today.
What an examiner checks here:
- Willing to explain again
- Never experienced shortness of breath
- Requests that absence of shortness of breath be recorded
- Requests check of medicine packaging brought today
Easy to miss: Preserve the explicit denial of any shortness of breath.
I'll note that you report no breathing difficulty and check the medicine name on your packaging. Is there anything else you want the GP to know?
Model answer and marking points
호흡 곤란은 없었다고 말씀하신 내용을 기록하고, 가져오신 포장에 적힌 약 이름도 확인하겠습니다. 의사 선생님께 그 밖에 알려 드리고 싶은 내용이 있으세요?
What an examiner checks here:
- Will record patient's report of no breathing difficulty
- Will check medicine name on patient's packaging
- question: anything else patient wants GP to know
Easy to miss: Record this as the patient's report, rather than an independently confirmed finding.
아니요, 더 말씀드릴 건 없어요. 제가 겪은 증상하고 겪지 않은 증상을 구분해서 남겨 주시면 좋겠어요. 십일월 오일에 의사 선생님과 다시 확인할게요.
Model answer and marking points
No, there's nothing else I'd like to add. I'd appreciate it if you could clearly distinguish the symptoms I experienced from those I didn't in the record. I'll go over it again with the doctor on 5 November.
What an examiner checks here:
- Nothing else to add
- Requests distinction between experienced and unexperienced symptoms in record
- Will review the matter again with doctor on 5 November
Easy to miss: Keep both the symptoms experienced and those not experienced distinct in the record.
