Full transcript
Mr. Nogueira, since your fall at the Chatswood construction site ten days ago, how have the headaches, dizziness and concentration been?
Doutor, as dores de cabeça melhoraram um pouco, mas ainda sinto tontura às vezes e esqueço coisas simples. Posso voltar a trabalhar essa semana, ou preciso esperar mais?
Not this week — you need to avoid work completely until your neurologist confirms it's safe, since concussion symptoms can easily worsen with early return to duties.
Entendo, doutor. Mas é normal esquecer tanto assim, ou isso significa que o dano é mais grave do que pensávamos no início?
Some memory trouble is common after concussion and usually improves within a few weeks. We'll book a follow-up CT scan at Royal North Shore Hospital in five days.
O exame vai doer, ou precisa de alguma preparação especial antes de eu ir até o hospital?
No, it's completely painless and needs no special preparation beforehand, just arrive on time. I'll also refer you to neurology for a full review afterward.
Posso dirigir até lá, ou é melhor evitar completamente até a consulta com o neurologista?
Please don't drive at all until neurology clears you fully — concussion can affect your reaction time and concentration, even if you feel completely fine.
Posso tomar algum remédio para essa dor de cabeça, ou isso pode piorar a situação?
Paracetamol is fine, but please avoid ibuprofen or aspirin for now, since they can increase bleeding risk. I'll see you again in two weeks.
Muito obrigado, doutor. Vou seguir tudo certinho, evitar dirigir e aguardar a consulta com o neurologista em duas semanas.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
