Explicar antecedentes médicos en inglés

Patient: Hi, I was hoping you could help me with something.

Staff member: Sure. What would you like to check first?

Patient: I’m allergic to…

Staff member: Thanks. I’ll check the reception first and then we can deal with the rest.

Patient: That part is clear. My question is really about the history.

Staff member: Of course. The easiest way to think about it is that the history comes before the swelling.

Patient: Let me repeat that back to make sure I understood you correctly.

Staff member: Exactly. After that, we’ll record the dietary restriction and you’ll receive confirmation.

Patient: How often should I take it?

Staff member: It depends on the temperature. If that stays the same, the process is straightforward.

Patient: Okay. I brought the instruction too, because I wasn’t sure whether it was required.

Staff member: That would be useful. You may not need it now, but it can save time later.

Patient: I need help explaining what happened.

Staff member: Absolutely. Let’s go through the test slowly so you know exactly what it means.

Patient: Perfect. I’m trying to focus on the key information instead of translating every word.

Staff member: Right. In a real conversation, catching the clinic and the next action is usually enough.

Patient: Could you write that down for me?

Staff member: If anything changes, contact us and mention the appointment. That will help us find your details quickly.

Patient: One last check: there’s no change to the emergency, right?

Staff member: Yes, the emergency is unchanged. You’re all set.

Patient: Could you also show me where the pain appears? I want to recognise it next time.

Staff member: Of course. You’ll usually hear “pain” together with a date, number or next action. If you miss it, ask the person to repeat that specific part.

Patient: Great, I know what I need to do now. Thanks for your help.

Staff member: You’re welcome. Have a good day.
