Hi there, my name is Andrew, I'm one of the family of medical students.
2
Could I just check your name and date of birth please?
3
Yeah, James Alexander, 13th of December 1989.
4
Nice to meet you James.
5
Today I've been asked to examine your abdomen.
6
This will involve looking from the end of the bed, feeling various areas of the abdomen and then listening at the end.
7
Would that be okay?
8
That sounds fine.
9
Brilliant.
10
Have you any pain anywhere at all?
11
No. And have you got any questions about the exam?
12
No, not that I can think of.
13
Okay.
14
Okay, James, we can start the exam now.
15
I'm just going to start by having a look from the end of the bed.
16
James, I'd like to start by looking at your hands.
17
If you could just bring them up in front of you, please.
18
And if you could turn them over.
19
Fantastic.
20
And if you could bring two fingernails together like this for me.
21
Brilliant.
22
You can relax.
23
James, if you could now bring your hands out in front of you and cock your wrist back.
24
And keep it there. and relax.
25
If you could just lift your right arm up for me. And your left arm.
26
That's fine.
27
James, I'm now going to have a look at your face and eyes.
28
If you could just look straight ahead for me.
29
And I'm now going to pull down on your lower eyelid.
30
and just look down for me.
31
If you could just open your mouth for me, lift your tongue to the roof of the mouth.
32
That's great.
33
James, if you could now sit forward for me, and I'd like to examine for any glands in the neck.
34
I'd now like to more closely inspect the chest.
35
James, we're going to move on to more closely examining your tummy now.
36
For this I'll need you in a flat position, so I'm just going to lower the bed.
37
If you could just sit up for me.
38
And you can lie back.
39
Now if you could just put your hands down by your side, I'm just going to more closely inspect your tummy.
40
I'd now like to move on to feel different areas of the tummy.
41
Can I just check before I do that you don't have any pain at all?
42
No, I don't.
43
James, I now need to press a little harder.
44
James, could you now take some deep breaths in and out for me?
45
Thank you.
46
Thank you.
47
James, I'm now going to tap on you, Tommy.
48
I'm going
49
to go ahead and get it.
50
If you could roll onto your right hand side for me, James. And roll back.
51
I'm now just going to listen to your tummy.
52
Okay.
53
James, that completes the examination.
54
Thank you very much, you can now get dressed.
55
In summary, I performed an abdominal exam on James, a 27 year old male.
56
James had no peripheral stigmata of gastrointestinal disease.
57
His abdomen was soft and non-tender with no masses or organomegaly.
58
On auscultation he had normal bowel sounds.
59
This was a normal abdominal exam.

To complete the exam, I would like to examine the herniol orifices
61
and also do a digital rectal exam and examination of the external genitalia if indicated.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
