Full transcript
Tell me exactly what happened when your son fell at the skate park this Saturday afternoon, and did he lose consciousness at any point?
Ele estava andando de skate no parque e caiu de cabeça no concreto. Acho que ficou sem sentidos por uns dez segundos, mas depois acordou meio confuso.
Did he vomit afterwards, complain of blurred vision or a severe headache, and roughly how long was he unconscious for, do you know?
Ele vomitou uma vez logo depois da queda, mas não vomitou de novo. Disse que a visão ficou embaçada por uns minutos, mas agora parece que melhorou.
We'll organise a CT scan within the next thirty minutes to check for any bleeding, swelling or fracture inside his skull.
Está bem, doutora. Ele vai sentir dor durante o exame? Estou preocupado porque ele nunca fez uma tomografia antes.
If he vomits again, becomes unusually drowsy, or his pupils look uneven, please tell the nurse immediately, even overnight while he's admitted.
Entendido. Vou ficar de olho nele a noite toda. Se ele vomitar de novo ou ficar muito sonolento, eu chamo a enfermeira na hora.
The scan here at Sunshine Coast University Hospital shows no bleeding, just a small bump on his scalp, but we'll keep him for four hours of observation to be safe.
Que alívio! Fico muito feliz que não há sangramento. Podemos ficar aqui as quatro horas, sem problema.
He can go home tonight if he remains alert and stable, but he must avoid contact sport and skateboarding for at least two weeks.
Muito obrigado, doutora. Vou garantir que ele não jogue futebol nem ande de skate por pelo menos duas semanas.
