Full transcript
Mr. Fernández, can you tell me exactly how your back started hurting when you lifted those boxes at the warehouse on Thursday afternoon?
Estaba levantando cajas pesadas en el almacén el jueves cuando sentí un dolor agudo en la parte baja de la espalda.
On a scale from zero to ten, how would you rate the pain right now, and does it get worse when you bend forward?
El dolor es como un siete, doctor, y sí, empeora mucho cuando me inclino hacia adelante o me siento por mucho tiempo.
I'd like to refer you for an X-ray at Wollongong Hospital, and I'll also start you on a treatment plan involving stretching and core exercises.
¿Wollongong Hospital? Está bien, doctor. ¿Y qué es eso de icare? Nunca he escuchado ese nombre antes.
Since 2015, icare and SIRA have managed workers compensation claims in New South Wales, not WorkCover, so I'll lodge your claim through icare directly.
Entiendo, doctor. Entonces, ¿qué documentos necesito llevar a mi empleador para iniciar el proceso con icare?
You won't need to pay anything upfront if icare approves the claim, but you'll need your GP's medical certificate and the incident report from your employer.
¿Cuánto tiempo cree que tardaré en recuperarme completamente, doctor? Necesito volver a trabajar pronto porque mi familia depende de mi sueldo.
I'll book you in for six sessions over the next three weeks, starting this Friday morning at nine-thirty, if that time suits you.
Perfecto, doctor, el viernes a las nueve y media me queda muy bien. Muchas gracias por explicarme todo con tanta claridad.
