Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 29 WORDS
Doctor

Mr. Rahman, your father was brought to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital after falling at home yesterday evening. The scan shows a small bleed on the surface of his brain.

Ya Doktor, saya faham. Tapi... teruk sangat ke kecederaan dia? Saya risau sebab dia belum sedar sepenuhnya sejak semalam.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 19 WORDS
Doctor

We need to keep him under observation for forty-eight hours. If the bleeding doesn't increase, he won't need surgery.

Son

Kalau darah tu tak berkurang, dia perlu buat pembedahan ke? Saya bimbang sebab umur dia dah tua.

His neurosurgeon will review another CT scan tomorrow morning. Surgery is only necessary if there's significant swelling or the bleed grows larger.

Boleh ke saya duduk dengan dia waktu malam? Saya tak nak dia keseorangan kalau dia terjaga tiba-tiba.

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS

Visiting hours are between ten in the morning and eight at night. He can only be discharged once he's fully conscious and stable.

SEGMENT 10 · MALAY · 17 WORDS

Berapa lama pemulihan ni biasanya ambil masa? Dia boleh kembali macam biasa ke, atau ada kesan kekal?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 21 WORDS
Doctor

We'll refer him to a rehabilitation team for cognitive therapy. Please book a follow-up appointment with the neurologist in two weeks.

SEGMENT 12 · MALAY · 17 WORDS
Son

Baik, Doktor, saya faham semua. Saya akan pastikan kami hadir untuk temu janji dua minggu lagi tu.
