9
Let's get started.
10
Something feels off.
11
Excuse me, James.
12
Do you have a tissue?
13
I need some water, too.
14
Of course.
15
Here's a tissue.
16
Are you okay?
17
You don't look well.
18
I'm fine.
19
Just tired.
20
I didn't sleep much last night.
21
You look very pale.
22
And I noticed you went to the water cooler three times this morning.
23
Did I?
24
I've been so thirsty lately.
25
I don't know why.
26
How long have you felt like this?
27
Maybe a week.
28
I feel tired all the time,
29
and I can't concentrate on my work.
30
That doesn't sound good.
31
Have you been to see a doctor?
32
No, I keep thinking it will get better,
33
but it's not getting better.
34
Maria, I think you should see a doctor today.
35
This is not normal.
36
Today?
37
But I have so much work to do.
38
I have that report due tomorrow.
39
Your health is more important than work.
40
The report can wait.
41
I don't know.
42
Maybe I just need to rest this weekend.
43
It's probably nothing serious.
44
Maria, you've been saying that all week.
45
This isn't getting better on its own.
46
But what if it's expensive and I'll miss the whole afternoon?
47
I can help you find a clinic nearby,
48
and your health insurance will cover most of it.
49
I guess you're right.
50
I do feel terrible.
51
Okay, maybe I should go.
52
Good.
53
Let me look up a clinic on my phone.
54
There's one just 10 minutes away.
55
Thank you, James.
56
I'm a little worried now.
57
Don't worry.
58
The doctor will help you.
59
Let's get you there.
60
Getting to the clinic.
61
Okay.
62
The clinic is on Madison Street.
63
It's called Madison Health Center.
64
Madison Street.
65
Should I take the bus?
66
No. I think you should take a taxi.
67
You don't look well enough to wait for the bus.
68
A taxi is expensive.
69
Don't worry about the money.
70
Your health is more important.
71
I will call a taxi for you.
72
That's very kind of you.
73
Thank you.
74
Oh, I need to get my water bottle again.
75
I'm so thirsty.
76
See?
77
That's another sign something isn't right.
78
Here, sit down for a moment.
79
You look a little dizzy.
80
I do feel a bit dizzy.
81
Maybe you're right about the taxi.
82
Let me call now.
83
Hello?
84
Yes, I need a taxi at 450 Park Avenue.
85
We're going to Madison Health Center on Madison Street.
86
How long?
87
Okay, thank you.
88
How long will it take?
89
The taxi will be here in five minutes.
90
Let's go downstairs and wait outside.
91
I'm feeling nervous now.
92
What if something is really wrong?
93
Try not to worry too much.
94
The doctor will check you and tell you what's happening.
95
I've never felt this tired before.
96
That's why it's good you're going today.
97
Here comes the taxi now.
98
Thank you for helping me, James.
99
That's what friends are for.
100
Do you want me to come with you?
101
No, I'll be okay.
102
You have work to do.
103
Call me later and tell me what the doctor says, okay?
104
I will.
105
Thank you again.
106
Good luck, Maria.
107
The doctor will take good care of you.
108
Checking in.
109
Hello, I need to see a doctor, please.
110
Good afternoon.
111
Have you been to our clinic before?
112
No, this is my first time here.
113
Okay, no problem.
114
I'll need to register you as a new patient.
115
Can I have your full name, please?
116
Yes, it's Maria Lopez.
117
That's L-O-P-E-Z.
118
Thank you, Ms. Lopez.
119
And what is your date of birth?
120
July 15, 1993.
121
July 15, 1993.
122
Got it.
123
Do you have health insurance?
124
Yes, I do.
125
Here is my insurance card.
126
Thank you.
127
Let me make a copy of this for our records.
128
What brings you in today?
129
I haven't been feeling well.
130
I'm very tired and I'm thirsty all the time.
131
I see.
132
How long have you had these symptoms?
133
About a week.
134
Okay.
135
Please fill out this medical history form,
136
then have a seat in the waiting area.
137
The nurse will call you soon.
138
How long is the wait?
139
Usually about 15 minutes.
140
We're not too busy today.
141
Thank you very much.
142
You're welcome.
143
The restroom is down the hall if you need it.
144
Good to know.
145
Thank you.
146
Okay.
147
Deep breath.
148
I can do this.
149
It's just a form.
150
Name, address, medical history.
151
Simple questions.
152
But what if something is really wrong?
153
What if it's serious?
154
No, stop it.
155
The receptionist was nice.
156
The doctor will help.
157
That's what doctors do.
158
They help people.
159
Just fill out the form, Maria.
160
One question at a time.
161
You're doing the right thing.
162
James was right.
163
I need to be here.
164
The waiting room.
165
First time here?
166
Yes.
167
How did you know?
168
You're reading every poster on the wall.
169
Everyone does that their first time.
170
Oh, I didn't realize.
171
I'm just nervous.
172
You have an interesting accent.
173
Are you from England?
174
Yes, London originally.
175
I'm here in the States working on a project for my company.
176
I'll be here for six months.
177
Oh, that's interesting.
178
I hope you like it here.
179
I do, thank you.
180
but I must say your health care system is quite different from ours.
181
Are you feeling all right?
182
Not really.
183
That's why I'm here.
184
I feel tired all the time.
185
I understand.
186
I felt the same way last month.
187
That's why I came here.
188
Did the doctor help you?
189
Yes, very much.
190
The doctors here are excellent.
191
They take their time and listen carefully.
192
That's good to hear.
193
I was worried they would be too busy.
194
No, they're very patient.
195
What's your name?
196
I'm Maria.
197
I'm Mike.
198
Nice to meet you, Maria.
199
Nice to meet you, too.
200
Do you come here often?
201
Just for check-ups now.
202
Today is my follow-up appointment.
203
I hope everything is okay with you.
204
Thank you.
205
I'm sure you'll be fine, too.
206
The doctors will take good care of you.
207
Thank you, Mike.
208
That makes me feel better.
209
You're welcome.
210
Oh, they're calling my name.
211
Good luck, Maria.
212
Good luck to you, too.
213
Nurse assessment.
214
Maria Lopez?
215
Yes, that's me.
216
Hi, Maria.
217
I'm Nurse Davis.
218
Please come with me to the examination room.
219
Okay, thank you.
220
Please have a seat here on the examination table.
221
I need to check your blood pressure and temperature first.
222
All right.
223
Let me put this cuff on your arm.
224
You might feel a little squeeze.
225
Just relax.
226
Okay.
227
Is this going to hurt?
228
No, not at all.
229
It just feels tight for a moment.
230
There we go.
231
All done.
232
Your blood pressure is a little high,
233
but that's normal when people are nervous.
234
I am nervous.
235
That's completely normal.
236
Now let me check your temperature.
237
I'm going to use this forehead thermometer.
238
Just hold still for a moment.
239
Okay.
240
What does it do?
241
It reads the temperature from your forehead.
242
Very quick and easy.
243
Just hold still.
244
There.
245
All done.
246
Your temperature is normal.
247
Good.
248
That was fast.
249
Yes, much easier than the old thermometers.
250
Now, can you tell me why you're here today?
251
I feel tired all the time, and I'm always thirsty.
252
I drink water all day.
253
How long have you felt this way?
254
About a week.
255
Have you had any other symptoms?
256
Headaches?
257
Dizziness?
258
Sometimes I have headaches, and I have trouble concentrating at work.
259
I see.
260
The doctor will be with you in just a moment.
261
She'll want to talk to you about all of this.
262
Thank you, Nurse Davis.
263
You're welcome, Maria.
264
Try to relax.
265
The doctor is very kind.
266
Talking to the doctor.
267
Hello, Maria.
268
I'm Dr. Chen.
269
How are you feeling today?
270
Not very well, Doctor.
271
That's why I'm here.
272
I understand.
273
I've read the notes from Nurse Davis.
274
You said you feel very tired and thirsty all the time?
275
Yes, exactly.
276
For about a week now.
277
I can't concentrate at work anymore.
278
That must be difficult for you.
279
Can you tell me more about the tiredness?
280
I sleep eight hours every night,
281
but I still feel exhausted,
282
even in the morning when I wake up.
283
I see.
284
And the thirst?
285
How much water do you drink each day?
286
I don't know exactly.
287
Maybe eight or ten glasses?
288
Maybe more.
289
But I'm still thirsty.
290
Do you need to use the bathroom more often than usual?
291
Yes.
292
I didn't think about that, but yes.
293
Every hour, maybe.
294
Okay.
295
Have you lost any weight recently?
296
I don't know.
297
I don't weigh myself often.
298
Maybe a little bit?
299
Have you been eating normally?
300
Yes, I think so.
301
Actually, I've been very hungry.
302
I eat more than usual,
303
but I still feel weak.
304
I understand.
305
These symptoms are important.
306
I want to run some tests to find out what's happening.
307
Tests?
308
What kind of tests?
309
Blood tests.
310
They will help me understand what's going on in your body.
311
Is something seriously wrong with me?
312
Let's not worry too much yet.
313
The tests will give us answers.
314
Then we can make a plan together.
315
I'm a little scared, doctor.
316
I know this is worrying,
317
but you did the right thing by coming here today.
318
We'll figure this out together.
319
Tests explained.
320
Okay, Maria.
321
I'm going to order two blood tests for you.
322
These tests will check your blood sugar levels.
323
Blood sugar?
324
What does that mean?
325
Blood sugar is the amount of glucose in your blood.
326
Glucose is a type of sugar that gives your body energy.
327
And you think something is wrong with my blood sugar?
328
Your symptoms suggest that your blood sugar might be too high.
329
The tests will tell us for sure.
330
What happens if it's too high?
331
If it is high, we can treat it.
332
There are many ways to manage high blood sugar.
333
But first, we need to see the test results.
334
How do you do the test?
335
A lab technician will take a small amount of blood from your arm.
336
It only takes a few minutes.
337
Does it hurt?
338
feel a small pinch, but it's very quick.
339
Many people say it's not as bad as they expected.
340
Okay, when will I know the results?
341
We can do the test today.
342
I'll have the results in about 30 minutes.
343
Can you wait?
344
Yes, I can wait.
345
I want to know what's wrong.
346
Good.
347
That's a good attitude.
348
Knowledge is power.
349
When we know what's happening,
350
we can help you feel better.
351
Thank you, Dr. Chen.
352
You make me feel a little less worried.
353
That's my job.
354
You're going to be okay, Maria.
355
Let me call the lab technician.
356
He'll take you to the lab now.
357
All right.
358
Thank you.
359
Blood draw.
360
Hello, Maria.
361
I'm Klaus, the lab technician.
362
Dr. Chen sent you for blood tests, yes?
363
Yes, that's right.
364
I'm a little nervous.
365
That's okay.
366
Many people feel nervous, but I promise it will be very quick.
367
Have you had blood drawn before?
368
No, never.
369
This is my first time.
370
Okay, let me explain everything.
371
First, please sit here and rest your arm on this support.
372
Like this?
373
Perfect.
374
Very good.
375
Now I will tie this band around your arm.
376
It will feel tight for a moment.
377
Okay.
378
Good.
379
Now I need to find a vein.
380
Can you make a fist for me?
381
Squeeze tight.
382
Like this?
383
Yes, perfect.
384
Okay, I can see a good vein here.
385
Now I will clean your arm with this alcohol pad.
386
It will feel cold.
387
That does feel cold.
388
Yes.
389
Now you will feel a small pinch.
390
Try to relax.
391
Take a deep breath.
392
Okay.
393
Here we go.
394
And.. done.
395
That's it.
396
All finished.
397
Already?
398
I barely felt anything.
399
See?
400
Not so bad.
401
You did very well.
402
Now keep your arms straight for a minute.
403
I'll put this bandage on.
404
It really wasn't as bad as I thought.
405
Most people say that.
406
You were very brave.
407
The results will be ready soon.
408
You can go back to the waiting room now.
409
Thank you, Klaus.
410
You're very welcome.
411
Have a good day, Maria.
412
The results.
413
Maria, please come in and sit down.
414
I have your test results.
415
That was fast.
416
What did you find?
417
Your blood sugar level is high.
418
It's 245 milligrams per deciliter.
419
The normal range is between 70 and 100.
420
That sounds very high.
421
What does it mean?
422
It means you have high blood sugar.
423
This explains all your symptoms.
424
The tiredness, the thirst, using the bathroom often, everything.
425
Is this serious?
426
We need to take it seriously, yes.
427
But the good news is that we found it early and we can manage it.
428
How do we manage it?
429
First, I want to do more tests next week to understand the complete picture.
430
For now, I'm going to give you information about diet and exercise.
431
Diet and exercise?
432
Yes.
433
What you eat and how much you move can help control your blood sugar.
434
I also want you to see a nutritionist.
435
A nutritionist?
436
Yes.
437
A nutritionist will help you plan healthy meals.
438
This is very important.
439
Is there medicine I should take?
440
We'll talk about medicine after the next tests.
441
Right now, let's focus on understanding your condition and making lifestyle changes.
442
I'm scared, but I'm also glad I know what's wrong.
443
That's exactly the right feeling.
444
Knowledge is power.
445
You came in today, and now we can help you.
446
You did the right thing.
447
I'm uncertain.
448
What should I do now?
449
Go home and rest.
450
Read these information sheets.
451
Make an appointment for next week and try not to worry too much.
452
We're going to work on this together.
453
Thank you, Dr. Chen.
454
You've been so kind and patient.
455
You're very welcome, Maria.
456
I'll see you next week.
457
Walking away with a plan.
458
Maria, how did it go?
459
I've been worried about you.
460
James, thank you for waiting.
461
I'm okay.
462
The doctor was very helpful.
463
What did the doctor say?
464
My blood sugar is too high.
465
That's why I've been feeling so tired and thirsty.
466
Blood sugar?
467
Is that serious?
468
The doctor says we need to take it seriously,
469
but she also says we can manage it with diet and exercise.
470
That doesn't sound too bad.
471
Are you feeling relieved?
472
Yes, actually.
473
I was so scared before.
474
But now I know what's wrong,
475
and I know what to do about it.
476
That's good.
477
Knowledge is better than fear.
478
That's exactly what Dr. Chen said.
479
She gave me all this information to read,
480
and I need to see a nutritionist.
481
A nutritionist can really help.
482
My sister saw one last year.
483
She learned so much about healthy eating.
484
I hope so.
485
I have another appointment next week for more tests.
486
Do you want me to come with you next time?
487
That's very kind, but I think I'll be okay now.
488
I'm not as scared anymore.
489
You look much better than this morning.
490
Less tired somehow.
491
I think I feel a little better just knowing what the problem is.
492
The doctor says I need to rest and not worry too much.
493
Good advice.
494
Come on, let me take you home.
495
You should rest.
496
Thank you, James.
497
You're a good friend.
498
I'm lucky to have you.
499
That's what friends are for.
500
Let's get you home.
501
Thank you so much for watching today.
502
I hope these conversations helped you learn useful English for seeing a doctor.
503
Did you notice how Maria felt scared at first,
504
but felt better when she understood what was happening?
505
This is normal.
506
Doctors are there to help you, not to scare you.
507
Let me ask you, which conversation was most useful for you?
508
Was it checking in at the front desk?
509
Describing symptoms?
510
Understanding test results?
511
Please leave a comment and tell me.
512
Remember these important phrases, I feel tired all the time,
513
how long will it take,
514
what does that mean, and thank you for explaining.
515
These simple phrases will help you talk to doctors and nurses.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
