Full transcript
Mr. Dobre, thank you for coming in today for your pre-admission assessment before your knee replacement surgery at John Hunter Hospital next Thursday.
Da, mulțumesc, am ajuns ceva mai devreme. Sunt puțin emoționat, este prima mea operație de acest fel.
Before we start, could you tell me if you have any allergies to medications, latex, or anaesthesia, and whether you're currently taking blood thinners?
Da, am o alergie la penicilină, dar în rest nu iau niciun fel de anticoagulante sau alte medicamente speciale.
You must not eat or drink anything for six hours before surgery, and please make sure you arrive at 6:30 am sharp on Thursday morning.
Bine, am înțeles, dar pot să conduc eu singur mașina spre casă după operație, sau trebuie neapărat să mă ia cineva?
That's fine, but you won't be able to drive yourself home afterwards because of the anaesthetic, so please arrange for someone to collect you.
Nicio problemă, soția mea va veni să mă ia de la spital chiar în acea zi.
After surgery, you'll stay in hospital for about two nights, and you won't be discharged until you can walk safely with physiotherapy support.
Mulțumesc pentru explicații. Ce fel de medicamente voi primi pentru durere după operație?
We'll manage your pain with regular medication, and before you leave today, I'll need you to sign the surgical consent form together.
Perfect, sunt gata să semnez formularul chiar acum, vă mulțumesc pentru toate informațiile.
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.
