UNIT 6: BLOOD
A: OK, Miss/Mr.________,we are almost done taking your blood. Hold still for
a little longer.
B: Sure. So, where will my blood go ?
A: Our facility provides blood to local hospital and surgical centers for
transfusion.
B: I see. So anyone might receive my blood ?
A:Not quite. You can’t transfuse your blood to anybody except who own type
AB like you.
B: So, I’m a universal recipient, right ?
A: Yes, so we can’t give your blood to anybody with other blood types.
B: Oh, I get it. And what happens if someone gets a transfusion with the wrong
type ?
A:That can be very dangerous.The recipient who receive the wrong type can
cause blood clots, blood vessels are blocked and maybe can cause death
B: That makes sense. Thank you.
                             UNIT 7. BONES
A:_________,we just had a patient admitted to the hospital due to an accident
and he already had an X-ray. Here is his result.
B: Oh, I see. Looking at the result, the right bone was probaly fractured.
A: Yes, that’s correct. Can you identify the type of fracture ?
B:It’s seems more serious than I thought. I’d say that is a displaced fracture.
A: Are you sure ? This is truly a case of serious bone fracture but I don’t think
that is a displaced fracture.
B: Oh, I don’t know. What am I missing ?
A: Can you see the fractured bone has protruded a little through the skin ?
B: Oh, I see that now.
A: So what medical procedure we should use with that fracture bone ?
B: We’ll need repair and use metal pins, screws and plates to hold the bone
together.
UNIT 8: NURSING
A:_____,I’m____I’ll be interviewing you for the NP position.
B: Nice to meet you,Mrs____
A:So what kind of experience do you have ?
B: Well, I started taking care of patients as a teenager but I’ve just worked as
an NP for the past 6 years.
A: And why did you go into nursing ?
B: I love taking care of people. It brings me a lot of joy.
A: Excellent. Now, this is an general practice. You’ll be performing lots of
annual physicals, tests and even minor procedures. You also have to prescribe
medications and other types of treatment for patients.
B: Everyday tasks. I understand.
A: Is that appealing to you ?
B: Yes, because there’s more interaction with patients. Hospitals are too fast-
paced.
A: Right, it’s definitely slower here. But we still have to maintain patient flow.
B:Of course.
A:Now, have you worked with electronic health records.
B:Yes, we switched to them several years ago.
UNIT 9: SURGERY
A:_______,will Mr. Jackson have a surgery schedule tomorrow, right ?
B: Yes, he’ll have an appendix excision at 7.00
A:I think Mr. Jackson ‘s excision could take a while.
B:Why’s that, doctor ?
A:There are a few problems in my left breast excision
B:Oh, it’s a mastectotmy
A: I remember the thoracic CT scan showing the tumor to be advanced
breast. I need to allow time for complications.
B:I see. There’s an operating room open at noon.
A:That would be perfect. Remember to let the anesthesiologist, nursing staff
and the patient know about the change.
B:Will do. See you tomorrow, doctor.
