4.2 Emergency 突发急病
W: Can I see the doctor?
M: Yes, do you have an appointment?
W: No, I don't.
M: Well. The doctor doesn't see nobody without an appointment.
W: Well, I am spending my vacation here and I have a stomachache and...
M: Oh, I see. Maybe we can fit you in at 3:00.
W: I’d prefer to see him asap. If I have to wait for another 30 mins, I think I will faint from this unbearable pain in my stomach and…
M: Oh, why didn't you say it's an emergency? Here, fill out this form and take a seat. I'll send you in next.
M: You don't have insurance?
W: No, not for this country.
M: How about traveler's insurance?
W: No, I didn't think I’d need it.
M: Can you pay cash, then?
W: Cash, credit card, cheque anything. I just have to see a doctor. I am in pain.
M: All right, all right, relax. I am only trying to do my job.
W: I know. I am sorry that I yelled at you.
D: Who is next?
M: This lady here.
D: Come this way. Now, what seems to be the trouble?
W: I have a terrible pain in my stomach.
M: I see. How long hais this pain been occurring?
W: Since last night.
M: I see. Let's have a look, shall we? Could you lift up your shirt? Did you eat anything yesterday?
W: We went to an oyster bar, and then we went to eat Chinese food. After that, we had Italian gelato, espresso, and...
M: Did you throw up or did you have the runs?
W: Both.
M: Well. That could be an upset stomach from overeating. Are you allergic to any drugs?
W: No.
M: Any heart trouble?
W: No.
M: All rihgt. Take this prescription to the pharmacy. The reception nurse will give you directions to the pharmacy. Take the medicine every six hours and stay in bed today, ok?

W：我能不能看医生？
M：好的，有没有预约？
W：没有。
M：嗯，医生不看没有预约的病人。
W：是这样的，我来这儿度假，肚子很痛，所以…
M：噢，知道了。我或许可以给你安排在三点钟。
W：我要越快越好，如果我还要忍受腹部剧痛三十分钟的话，我会昏倒…
M：啊，怎么不说是急诊？来，把这张表填好，然后坐下来，我给你安排下一个看病。
M：你没有保险？
W：没有，在这个国家里没有。
M：旅行平安险呢？
W：没有，我没想到会有需要。
M：那么，你能付现吗？
W：你要现金、信用卡、支票什么都可以，我只是要看医生，现在很痛。
M：好的，请放松，我只在做我该做的事而已。
W：我知道，对你大声吼叫，对不起。
M：下位是谁？
W：这位女士。
M：请到这里来。
M：好，有什么问题？
W：我的胃很痛。
M：多长时间了？
W：从昨晚开始的。
M：知道了，让我来看看好吗？请你把衬衫拉高，昨天你吃了什么东西吗？
W：我们昨天去吃了牡蛎，中国菜，之后吃了意大利冰淇淋、咖啡、还有…
M：你有没有呕吐或拉肚子？
W：都有。
M：这样的话，可能是吃太多而消化不良。你对什么药物过敏？
W：没有。
M：心脏有没问题？
W：没有
M：好了，拿这处方去药房。挂号处护士会告诉你药房的位置，每隔六小时吃一次药，还有今天要躺在床上休息，知道吗？
W：好的，医生。谢谢您。 |
