Full transcript
Mrs. Deshmukh, can you describe these headaches for me? When did they start, and how many times a week do you get them?
डोकेदुखी साधारण तीन आठवड्यांपूर्वी सुरू झाली, नर्स. आठवड्यातून साधारण चार वेळा होते आणि जास्त करून उजव्या बाजूला दुखतं.
Do certain things trigger the pain, and do you notice nausea or changes in your vision? Does it ever wake you during the night?
कधी कधी मळमळल्यासारखं वाटतं, पण दृष्टीत काही बदल जाणवला नाही. कधीकधी पहाटे लवकर डोकं दुखल्यामुळे जाग येते.
I'd like to refer you to a neurologist at Monash Medical Centre for a scan. If the pain suddenly gets worse, go straight to emergency.
स्कॅनसाठी किती वेळ लागेल आणि खर्च किती येईल? माझ्याकडे मेडिकेअर कार्ड आहे, पण तरीही थोडी काळजी वाटते.
Medicare will cover the scan, and the appointment should be in about two weeks. Please keep a diary noting when each headache starts.
ठीक आहे, डायरी नक्की ठेवेन. पण डोकं दुखलं की मी रोज आयबुप्रोफेन घेते, ते चालेल का?
Don't take ibuprofen every day — that can actually cause rebound headaches. Try paracetamol instead, but no more than four tablets in 24 hours.
समजलं, नर्स. रोज आयबुप्रोफेन घेणार नाही. पण कामावर सांगायला डॉक्टरांचं प्रमाणपत्र लागेल, ते मिळेल का?
I'll write you a medical certificate for two days off work. Try to reduce screen time, and we'll review your progress next Thursday.
धन्यवाद, नर्स. मी सगळ्या सूचना पाळेन आणि न्यूरोलॉजिस्टच्या भेटीला नक्की जाईन.
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.
- medicareपरीक्षेत 'Medicare' हा शब्द जसा आहे तसाच इंग्रजीत वापरावा, कारण हे ऑस्ट्रेलियन सरकारी योजनेचे नाव आहे.
- medical certificate'मेडिकल सर्टिफिकेट' असे इंग्रजीत सांगावे किंवा 'डॉक्टरचे रजा प्रमाणपत्र' असे स्पष्ट करावे.
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.
