Full transcript
I'm Doctor Patterson, the emergency physician here at Liverpool Hospital. Can you tell me exactly how your son hit his head this afternoon, and what happened immediately afterwards?
Dạ, cháu bị ngã khỏi ván trượt lúc khoảng ba giờ chiều, đầu đập khá mạnh xuống vỉa hè xi măng, sau đó cháu khóc và nói bị chóng mặt.
Did he lose consciousness at any point, even briefly, or vomit after the fall, and has he complained of any neck pain?
Dạ không, cháu không bất tỉnh và cũng không nôn, nhưng cháu nói đầu hơi đau, cổ không sao, và nhìn mọi thứ hơi mờ trong khoảng một phút.
That's reassuring. We'd like to keep him here for observation for about four hours and monitor his symptoms closely before deciding whether he needs a CT scan.
Vâng, nếu sau bốn tiếng cháu vẫn ổn thì có cần chụp CT nữa không, hay bác sĩ sẽ cho cháu về luôn ạ?
If he remains alert with no worsening headache, vomiting or vision changes over the next few hours, we won't need a CT scan and he can safely go home.
Dạ hiểu rồi ạ. Vậy nếu được về nhà thì con phải để ý những dấu hiệu gì trong vài ngày tới ạ?
Watch closely for severe headache, repeated vomiting, unusual drowsiness, confusion, slurred speech or seizures. If any of these occur, return to the emergency department immediately, day or night.
Dạ, con sẽ theo dõi cháu thật kỹ suốt đêm. Vậy có cần đưa cháu đi tái khám bác sĩ gia đình không ạ?
Yes, please book a check-up with your regular GP within three days, even if he seems completely fine by then, just to be safe.
Dạ cảm ơn bác sĩ đã giải thích rõ ràng. Con sẽ đưa cháu đi khám lại trong vài ngày tới như bác sĩ dặn.

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.
