Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mrs. Contreras. Your GP referred you under a chronic disease management plan to discuss safe strategies for losing weight and improving your overall health.
Sí, doctora, gracias. La verdad es que he intentado varias dietas, pero no logro bajar de peso y me siento bastante frustrada.
Your BMI is currently 34, which puts you at higher risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease if we don't address it now.
Eso me preocupa mucho. ¿Sería necesario considerar una cirugía para bajar de peso, o hay otras opciones antes de llegar a eso?
Surgery isn't the first option unless diet and exercise changes don't work. Liverpool Hospital runs a supervised weight management program you could join.
Entiendo, prefiero evitar la cirugía si es posible. ¿Podría darme un plan de alimentación más detallado para seguir en casa?
Try reducing portion sizes at meals and aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week, spread across several days rather than all at once.
El problema es que tengo dolor en las rodillas y me cuesta caminar largas distancias. ¿Qué tipo de ejercicio me recomienda usted?
Swimming and walking are much gentler on your knees than running. Avoid high-impact activities until the pain settles, then increase intensity gradually each week.
Me parece bien empezar con natación. ¿Cada cuánto tiempo debo venir a control para ver si estoy progresando bien?
Let's book a follow-up appointment in six weeks to check your weight, blood pressure, and blood test results, and adjust the plan if needed.
Perfecto, doctora. Reservaré la cita para dentro de seis semanas y seguiré el plan que me indicó. Muchas gracias por su ayuda.
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.
