Full transcript
Thanks for bringing your father in today, Mrs. Costa. Can you describe what changes you've noticed in his memory over the last three months?
Ele tem esquecido consultas marcadas e repete as mesmas perguntas várias vezes. Semana passada, ele se perdeu duas vezes voltando para casa de carro.
Does he manage daily tasks safely on his own, like cooking, taking medication correctly, or driving, without needing much assistance from you?
Às vezes ele esquece de tomar o remédio para pressão, mas ainda consegue preparar refeições simples sozinho, sem ajuda.
His screening score today suggests some concern about his memory. I'd like to refer him to the Memory Clinic at Liverpool Hospital for a full assessment.
Quanto tempo demora para conseguir essa consulta na Clínica da Memória? E o que exatamente vai ser feito nessa avaliação?
The typical wait for that clinic is around six weeks. The assessment usually includes a brain scan and detailed memory and thinking tests.
Ele precisa ficar em jejum antes do exame? E deve parar de tomar algum remédio antes da consulta?
No fasting is required beforehand, but please bring his complete medication list, and check with his GP before stopping any blood thinners.
Vou organizar tudo isso. Enquanto isso, é seguro ele continuar dirigindo até a consulta na Clínica da Memória?
For now, limit his driving to short, familiar routes only. If you notice any unsafe incidents, please contact me or his GP immediately.
Muito obrigada, doutor. Vou ficar de olho nele e seguir todas as suas orientações até a próxima consulta.
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.
