Advanced Medical Interpreter Practice Script (Portuguese)

Doctor: Good afternoon. I’m Dr. Miller. What brings you in today?
Patient (Portuguese): Boa tarde, doutor. Estou com dores fortes no estômago há alguns dias.
Doctor: I see. Can you describe the pain? Is it sharp, dull, or burning?
Patient (Portuguese): É uma dor em queimação, principalmente depois de comer.
Doctor: When did this pain start?
Patient (Portuguese): Começou há cerca de duas semanas.
Doctor: Does anything make the pain better or worse?
Patient (Portuguese): Melhora um pouco quando tomo leite, mas piora quando como comida picante ou bebo café.
Doctor: Do you have nausea, vomiting, or changes in your bowel movements?
Patient (Portuguese): Sim, tenho sentido náuseas, mas não vomitei. Minhas fezes estão normais.
Doctor: Have you noticed any blood in your stool or vomit?
Patient (Portuguese): Não, nunca vi sangue.
Doctor: Do you have a history of ulcers, stomach problems, or surgery?
Patient (Portuguese): Não, nunca operei e não tive problemas sérios antes.
Doctor: Are you currently taking any medications, including over-the-counter or herbal remedies?
Patient (Portuguese): Tomo comprimidos para pressão alta e às vezes tomo ibuprofeno para dor de cabeça.
Doctor: Thank you. Ibuprofen can sometimes irritate the stomach. Do you have any allergies to medication?
Patient (Portuguese): Não, que eu saiba não.
Doctor: Do you smoke or drink alcohol?
Patient (Portuguese): Fumo cerca de cinco cigarros por dia. Bebo cerveja nos fins de semana.
Doctor: Understood. What kind of work do you do?
Patient (Portuguese): Trabalho como motorista de camião.
Doctor: Do you have a family history of stomach problems, cancer, or other serious illnesses?
Patient (Portuguese): Meu pai teve câncer no estômago, e minha mãe tem diabetes.
Doctor: Thank you for sharing that. Do you have fever, weight loss, or loss of appetite?
Patient (Portuguese): Não tive febre, mas perdi uns três quilos nas últimas semanas porque não sinto muita fome.
Doctor: That’s important to know. Based on your symptoms, I’d like to order some tests: blood work, an abdominal ultrasound, and possibly an endoscopy to look inside your stomach.
Patient (Portuguese): Endoscopia? Isso dói?
Doctor: You’ll be given medication to make you comfortable. Most people tolerate it well, and it helps us see exactly what’s going on.
Patient (Portuguese): Está bem, doutor. Quero saber o que tenho.
Doctor: While we wait for the tests, I’ll prescribe medication to reduce stomach acid and protect your stomach lining. Please avoid spicy food, coffee, alcohol, and smoking.
Patient (Portuguese): Vou tentar seguir as recomendações.
Doctor: Good. Do you have any questions for me?
Patient (Portuguese): Só quero saber se pode ser algo grave como o meu pai teve.
Doctor: I understand your concern. Right now, we don’t know for sure, but the tests will give us clear answers. It’s important that you came in early.
Patient (Portuguese): Obrigado, doutor.
Doctor: You’re welcome. We’ll work together to find the cause and make you feel better.
