Full transcript
Tell me exactly where the pain in your jaw is coming from, and how long you have had this discomfort, Mr. Costa.
Dói muito do lado direito, doutora, principalmente à noite, e já dura quase duas semanas.
The X-ray shows your lower wisdom tooth is impacted and pressing on the nerve, so I need to refer you to Sydney Dental Hospital.
Isso é grave, doutora? Estou com medo de que seja alguma infecção séria.
The public waiting list for oral surgery there is currently six weeks, but I can prescribe something to manage the pain until then.
Seis semanas é bastante tempo, doutora. Não há nenhuma forma de ser atendido mais rápido?
You won't need surgery straightaway, but if the swelling spreads to your jaw or you develop a fever, go to the emergency department immediately.
E se eu fizer particular, doutora? Quanto custaria e quando poderia ser atendido?
Privately, a specialist could see you within a week, though it would cost around eight hundred dollars without a health fund rebate.
Entendi, doutora. Acho que vou esperar pelo público mesmo. Preciso voltar para uma consulta de acompanhamento?
I'll prescribe amoxicillin, five hundred milligrams, three times daily for seven days, and paracetamol for the pain in between.
Muito obrigado, doutora. Vou seguir tudo certinho e avisar se piorar antes das seis semanas.

- emergency departmentTraduzir como 'departamento de emergência' ou 'pronto-socorro', explicando que é a parte do hospital para casos urgentes.
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.
