Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today. I'd like to go through your son's asthma action plan before he returns to school on Thursday.
Cảm ơn chị. Tôi rất lo vì đêm nào cháu cũng ho nhiều, nhất là sau khi chạy nhảy ở trường. Tôi không biết có cần tăng liều thuốc không.
If his symptoms continue at night, we may need to increase his preventer dose. Has he been using the blue reliever puffer more than twice a week?
Cháu dùng ống hít màu xanh gần như mỗi ngày, có hôm phải xịt đến bốn lần mới đỡ.
That's too frequent — it suggests his asthma isn't well controlled. I'll ask Dr. Nguyen to review his plan and consider a referral to Nepean Hospital's respiratory clinic.
Nếu phải chờ thì mất bao lâu vậy chị? Tôi sợ để lâu quá cháu sẽ mệt hơn.
The wait time is usually around six weeks, but if his symptoms worsen, you should take him straight to the emergency department.
Tôi cũng không chắc mình dùng ống hít có đúng cách không, và có cần dùng thêm buồng đệm không?
Let's practise together now. Shake the puffer, attach the spacer, give one puff, then have him take four slow breaths before the next puff.
Vậy để tôi thử lại theo cách chị vừa hướng dẫn. Trường học có cần giấy xác nhận không chị?
I'll write a letter for his teacher explaining he needs access to his puffer at all times, and that he shouldn't share it with other students.
Dạ, tôi hiểu rồi. Tôi sẽ mang giấy đó đến buổi hẹn lần sau, cảm ơn chị nhiều.

- emergency departmentDịch là 'khoa cấp cứu' hoặc 'phòng cấp cứu'.
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.
