Full transcript
Good afternoon, I'm calling from Calvary Health Care to check how your mother managed the pain overnight and whether she slept better than yesterday.
Nije baš dobro spavala, gospođo, bolovi su bili jači nego juče, i probudila se nekoliko puta tokom noći.
Thank you for letting me know. I'd like to adjust her morphine dose slightly, and I need to ask whether she's still able to swallow tablets easily.
Sve teže guta tablete, često se zagrcne. Da li postoji tečni oblik leka koji bi joj bio lakši?
We can switch her to liquid morphine instead, given five milligrams every eight hours, which should be gentler and easier for her to take.
Hvala, to bi pomoglo. Primetila sam da joj je disanje teže noću, da li bismo mogli dobiti aparat za kiseonik za kuću?
Yes, we'll arrange a small oxygen concentrator for home use tomorrow. If her breathing becomes more difficult overnight, please call our after-hours line immediately.
Razumem, ali brinem se šta da radim ako se to desi usred noći. Koji broj mogu da pozovem ako bude hitno?
The after-hours palliative care line operates twenty-four hours a day. If nobody answers within a few minutes, please call triple zero for an ambulance.
Hvala vam puno na broju. Ako nega kod kuće više ne bude dovoljna, da li postoji mogućnost da ide u hospicij?
Calvary Hospice does have beds available if home care becomes insufficient, but there's no need for that step right now while she's stable.
Razumem, za sada ćemo pratiti stanje kod kuće i javiti se odmah ako bude potrebno. Hvala vam na svemu.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks

- palliative careReci 'palijativna nega' – to je standardan medicinski termin u srpskom jeziku.
- triple zeroReći broj kao cifre: 'nula nula nula' ili 'broj 000'.
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.
