Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Fernanda. Can you tell me how often you've been using your blue reliever inhaler this past month?
Doctora, la he estado usando casi todos los días, especialmente por la noche. A veces me despierto tosiendo y con el pecho apretado.
That's more than usual—normally we'd expect no more than twice a week. Have you noticed any specific triggers, like pollen, dust, or cold morning air?
Creo que es por el polvo en mi trabajo, soy albañil, y también cuando hace frío por la mañana me cuesta respirar.
I'd like to increase your preventer dose slightly and book you in for spirometry testing at Bendigo Health next Thursday afternoon. Does that time suit you?
Está bien, doctora. ¿El aumento de la dosis podría darme algún efecto secundario, como dolor de cabeza o nerviosismo?
It shouldn't cause problems if you rinse your mouth thoroughly after each dose. Let's also review your inhaler technique carefully before you leave today.
Perdone, ¿puede mostrarme otra vez cómo debo sostener el inhalador? No estoy segura si lo estoy usando correctamente.
Shake the inhaler well, breathe out fully, then press down firmly as you inhale slowly. Hold your breath for about ten seconds afterwards.
Entiendo, gracias. Solo me preocupa faltar al trabajo si tengo que ir a urgencias, pero prometo estar atenta a mis síntomas.
If your symptoms worsen before Thursday, please don't wait—go to the nearest emergency department immediately. Otherwise, I'll see you then for your review.
Muchas gracias, doctora. Nos vemos el jueves por la tarde para la prueba de espirometría.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks

- emergency departmentSe traduce como 'departamento de urgencias' o 'sala de emergencias'.
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.
