Full transcript
Mr. Karimi, your recent scan at Liverpool Hospital shows a mass on your liver, about four centimetres wide. We need to discuss what this means today.
ډاکټر صاحبه، ایا دا د سرطان معنی لري؟ زه د څو کلونو راهیسې د هیپاټایټس بي ناروغ یم، نو ډېر اندیښمن یم.
Yes, the biopsy confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma, a type of liver cancer linked to hepatitis B. We'll need an MRI to check if it has spread.
نو ایا دا د جراحۍ له لارې لرې کیدای شي؟ زه غواړم چې ژر روغ شم.
Surgery isn't possible because the tumour sits close to a major blood vessel. Instead, we recommend radiofrequency ablation combined with targeted drug therapy.
د دې درملنې بریالیتوب کچه څومره ده؟ او ایا څه ناخوالې لري؟
Success rates vary, but many patients respond well. I'll refer you to the liver specialist team and book an MRI within two weeks.
ایا دا درملنه د میډیکیر لخوا پوښل کیږي، که زه باید پیسې ورکړم؟
Medicare covers the MRI and specialist consultations, though some newer medications may need private health insurance approval first.
ایا زه باید خواړه بدل کړم؟ که الکول وڅښم، ایا دا به وضعیت خرابوي؟
Avoid alcohol completely, eat smaller balanced meals, and rest when tired. Please come back in three weeks so we can review your progress.
ډېره مننه ډاکټر صاحبه، زه به ستاسو ټولې لارښوونې تعقیب کړم.
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.
- medicareد Medicare کلمه لکه څنګه چې ده هماغسې په انګلیسي ووایاست، ځکه دا یو رسمي نوم دی او پښتو کې ورته بله بدلونیزه کلمه نشته.
- private health insuranceووایه "د شخصي روغتیايي بیمې" یا "خصوصي روغتیايي بیمه"، دا اصطلاح په پښتو کې ښه پوهیدل کیږي.
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.
