Full transcript
Before your knee replacement this Thursday at Liverpool Hospital, I need to go through some important pre-surgery checks with you, if that's alright with you today.
Malo sam nervozan zbog operacije. Da li ću biti pod potpunom anestezijom, ili samo lokalnom?
That's understandable. You'll have a spinal anaesthetic combined with light sedation, so you won't feel any pain or discomfort during the operation.
Uzimam aspirin svaki dan zbog srca. Da li treba da prestanem da ga pijem pre operacije?
Yes, you'll need to stop taking the aspirin five days before your surgery date, unless your cardiologist specifically advises you otherwise.
Dobro, prestaću sa aspirinom pet dana pre operacije. Takođe sam alergičan na penicilin — da li je to problem?
Thank you for telling me, that's very important to know. We'll use an alternative antibiotic instead, and please don't eat anything after midnight before your surgery.
Mogu li ujutru da pijem vodu? I uzimam metformin za dijabetes — da li treba nešto da promenim tog dana?
You may drink small sips of clear water up until two hours before admission, but please skip your metformin dose completely that morning.
Koliko dugo ću ostati u bolnici, i kada počinje fizikalna terapija nakon operacije?
Most patients stay around three nights after this procedure, and our physiotherapist will get you standing and moving the same afternoon.
Hvala vam, sada se osećam mnogo sigurnije. Videćemo se u četvrtak ujutru, pre operacije.
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.
