Full transcript
Mr. Pillai's CT scan shows a mass in the liver, about four and a half centimetres, in the right lobe. We need further tests to confirm what it is.
டாக்டர், இது புற்றுநோயா இருக்கலாமா? எவ்வளவு தீவிரமா இருக்குனு இப்பவே தெரியுமா?
We can't be certain yet. A biopsy will tell us if it's cancerous and what type. It's usually done as a day procedure under local anaesthetic.
பயாப்சி பண்ணும்போது ஏதாவது ஆபத்து இருக்குமா? அப்பாவால அதை தாங்கிக்க முடியுமா?
It's low risk, but he'll need to fast for six hours beforehand and avoid driving for 24 hours afterwards.
முடிவு வந்த பிறகு என்ன மாதிரி சிகிச்சை கொடுப்பாங்க டாக்டர்?
If the biopsy confirms cancer, we'll refer him to the multidisciplinary team at Liverpool Hospital. Surgery is only possible if the tumour hasn't spread beyond the liver.
முடிவுகள் வர எவ்வளவு நாள் ஆகும் டாக்டர்?
Results usually take about ten days. We'll book a follow-up appointment for him once they arrive.
அந்த பத்து நாளைக்குள்ள அப்பாவோட நிலைமை மோசமாகிடுச்சுன்னா, நாங்க யாரை தொடர்பு கொள்ளணும்?
If his symptoms worsen — severe pain, yellowing skin, or confusion — don't wait for the appointment. Take him straight to the emergency department.
சரி டாக்டர், புரிஞ்சுது. ஏதாவது மாறுதல் தெரிஞ்சா உடனே emergency-க்கு கூட்டிட்டு போறோம். மிக்க நன்றி.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- Emergency department"எமர்ஜென்சி டிபார்ட்மென்ட்" என ஆங்கிலச் சொல்லை transliterate செய்யலாம், அல்லது "மருத்துவமனை அவசர பிரிவு" என விளக்கமாக சொல்லலாம்.
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.
