Dialog 1: demam
Doctor: Good morning. What seems to be the problem? Patient: Good morning, doctor. I’ve had a fever and a headache since Monday. Doctor: Have you checked your temperature? Patient: Yes, it was 38.5 last night. Doctor: Any cough, rash or pain behind the eyes? Patient: No cough, but my whole body aches, especially my joints. Doctor: Since there’s a lot of dengue right now, I’d like you to have a blood test today. Patient: Do I need antibiotics? Doctor: No, antibiotics don’t work on viruses. Rest, drink plenty of water and take paracetamol for the fever. Don’t take ibuprofen until we have the results. Patient: How long will it take? Doctor: The results will be ready this afternoon. Come back right away if you feel worse. Patient: OK. Thank you, doctor.
| Kalimat | Artinya |
|---|---|
| my whole body aches | badan saya pegal semua |
| joints | sendi |
| dengue | demam berdarah (DBD) |
| a blood test | tes darah, cek lab |
| drink plenty of water | banyak minum air |
Dialog 2: sakit perut
Doctor: Hello, please have a seat. What brings you in today? Patient: I’ve had a stomach ache since yesterday evening. Doctor: Where exactly does it hurt? Patient: Here, on the right side. Doctor: Is the pain sharp or dull? Patient: Sharp. And it’s getting worse. Doctor: Have you vomited? Patient: Yes, twice this morning. Doctor: Please lie down. I’m going to press gently… Does this hurt? Patient: Ow, yes, a lot. Doctor: I’d like you to have a blood test and an ultrasound right away. It may be your appendix. Patient: Is it serious? Doctor: It can be, so we need to check quickly. The nurse will take you now.
Sharp artinya nyeri tajam seperti ditusuk, dull artinya nyeri tumpul. Appendix adalah usus buntu. Dan kalau kamu biasa bilang «maag», di luar negeri dokter tidak mengenal kata itu: jelaskan gejalanya, I have pain in my upper stomach and heartburn, atau sebut gastritis.
Dialog 3: medical check-up
Doctor: So, this is your yearly check-up. How have you been feeling? Patient: Mostly fine. I’m a bit tired in the afternoons. Doctor: How many hours do you sleep? Patient: About five or six. Doctor: That’s not enough. Adults need seven to eight. Do you exercise? Patient: Not really. I sit at a desk all day. Doctor: Your blood pressure is a little high. I’d recommend a 30-minute walk every day and less salt. Patient: OK, I’ll try. Should I do any tests? Doctor: Yes, a blood test for sugar and cholesterol. Here’s the form.
Dialog 4: kontrol
Doctor: Hello again. How’s your back? Patient: Much better, thanks. The exercises really helped. Doctor: Great. Any pain at night? Patient: Only when I sleep on my left side. Doctor: Keep doing the exercises for another month. You can stop the painkillers. Patient: Can I start going to the gym again? Doctor: Yes, but avoid heavy weights for now.
A follow-up visit adalah kunjungan kontrol. Painkillers adalah obat pereda nyeri.
Dialog 5: bikin janji lewat telepon
Receptionist: Good afternoon, Green Valley Clinic. Patient: Hello, I’d like to make an appointment with a doctor, please. Receptionist: Is it urgent? Patient: Not really. I’ve had an earache for a few days. Receptionist: We have tomorrow at 10:30 with Dr Ibrahim. Patient: That’s fine. Receptionist: Can I have your name and date of birth? Patient: Arif Nugroho, the 4th of March, 1992. Receptionist: Thank you, Mr Nugroho. See you tomorrow at 10:30.

Kesalahan umum orang Indonesia di dokter
“My head is sick.”/“My stomach is sick.”Terjemahan «kepala saya sakit». Bilang I have a headache atau My head hurts; My stomach hurts.“I drink medicine.”Dalam bahasa Inggris obat itu taken, bukan «diminum»: I take this medicine twice a day. Drink hanya untuk air, jus, kopi.“I have fever.”/“I have cold.”Tambahkan a: I have a fever. I have a cold. Untuk flu: I have the flu atau I’ve got flu, bukanI’m flu.“I’m masuk angin.”Tidak ada padanan langsung. Jelaskan gejalanya: I feel unwell, I have a slight cold, my stomach feels bloated.“Since three days.”Pakai for untuk rentang waktu (for three days), since untuk titik awal (since Monday), dan present perfect: I’ve had it for three days.“Doctor, give me medicine.”Lebih halus: Could you prescribe something for it?- «Pusing» = dizzy atau headache? Dizzy artinya kepala berputar, mau jatuh. Kalau kepala yang sakit, itu headache.
