Welcome back to the Kiwi English Booster. This is Episode 23, and we're back at the Urgent Care clinic. Spending time outdoors in New Zealand is great, but sometimes you might get stung by a bee or bitten by a bug. Today, you'll learn how to describe an allergic reaction, ask for antihistamines, and explain symptoms like swelling and rashes. Let's listen to the conversation. [00:40] ConversationDoctor: Kia ora! What can I do for you today? Patient: Kia ora, doctor. I was gardening this morning and I think I got stung by a bee on my arm. It was quite painful at first, but now it's really swollen and itchy. Doctor: Let's have a look... Yes, that's quite a bit of swelling. Are you having any trouble breathing, or have you noticed any swelling around your lips or tongue? Patient: No, nothing like that. I just have this rash around the sting, and it's getting itchier. Doctor: That's good. It looks like a localised allergic reaction, which is quite common after a bee sting. Have you ever had a serious reaction to a bee sting before? Patient: No. I've been stung before, but it's never swollen up this much. Doctor: Sometimes reactions can be different from one sting to the next. I'd recommend taking a non-drowsy antihistamine to help with the itching and swelling. You can also apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream twice a day. Patient: Do I need a prescription for those? Doctor: No, both are available over the counter at your local pharmacy. You should also put an ice pack on the area for about 15 minutes at a time, several times today, and try not to scratch it. Patient: Sweet as. I'll stop by the pharmacy on my way home. Thanks, doctor. Doctor: No worries. If you develop trouble breathing, swelling of your lips or tongue, or you feel faint or dizzy, call 111 straight away or go to the nearest emergency department. Otherwise, the swelling should settle over the next few days. Take care! [02:49] ExplainsLet's break down the language from that visit. First, stung by a bee. When a bee hurts you with its stinger. Second, bitten by a bug. When an insect like a spider bites you. Third, swelling. When the skin puffs up and gets bigger. Fourth, allergic reaction. When your body reacts badly to something like a sting. Fifth, rash. Red spots or patches on your skin. Sixth, itchy. That feeling when you want to scratch your skin. Seventh, antihistamine. Medicine to treat allergic reactions. Eighth, EpiPen. A special injection for very severe allergies. Ninth, apply cream. To rub medicine onto your skin. And finally, over the counter. Medicine you can buy without a doctor's prescription. Now let's hear the conversation again at a normal speed. [03:47] Conversation copyDoctor: Kia ora! What can I do for you today? Patient: Kia ora, doctor. I was gardening this morning and I think I got stung by a bee on my arm. It was quite painful at first, but now it's really swollen and itchy. Doctor: Let's have a look... Yes, that's quite a bit of swelling. Are you having any trouble breathing, or have you noticed any swelling around your lips or tongue? Patient: No, nothing like that.

Welcome back to the Kiwi English Booster. This is Episode 22, and today we're visiting an Urgent Care clinic.

You'll learn how to describe your injury, ask for pain relief, and some casual Kiwi phrases for reassurance. Let's listen to the conversation. [00:34] ConversationDoctor: Kia ora! Come on in and take a seat. I'm Dr. Sarah. What brings you in today? Patient: Kia ora, Dr. Sarah. Yeah, I had a bit of a fall while I was tramping on the weekend. I think I've sprained my ankle. It's pretty swollen. Doctor: Ouch, that sounds painful. Let's have a look. Does it hurt when I press here? Patient: Ah, yeah, right there. It's really throbbing. Do you reckon it's broken? Doctor: Well, it's definitely a nasty sprain, but I don't think it's broken. We'll get an X-ray just to be safe. Since it's an accident, we'll lodge an ACC claim for you to cover the costs. Patient: Oh, sweet as. Thanks. What about the pain? Should I take something for it? Doctor: Yes, I'll prescribe some strong pain relief, and you can grab some crutches on your way out. You need to keep the weight off it and give it a rest for a few days. Patient: Right, will do. How long do you reckon until I'm back on my feet? Doctor: Give it a couple of weeks. Take it easy, and she'll be right. Patient: Choice. Thanks a lot, Dr. Sarah. Doctor: No worries. The nurse will sort out your ACC form and crutches. Take care! [01:34] ExplainsThat was a very typical visit to the doctor for an injury! Let's break down the language. First, tramping. This is the Kiwi word for hiking or long walks in the bush. Second, sprained. S-P-R-A-I-N-E-D. To injure a joint, like an ankle or wrist, by twisting it. Third, swollen. When a part of your body gets bigger because of an injury. Fourth, throbbing.

To stop using the injured part so it can heal. And finally, she'll be right. A classic Kiwi phrase meaning 'everything will be okay'. Now let's hear it again at a natural, faster pace. [02:48] Conversation fastDoctor: Kia ora! Come on in and take a seat. I'm Dr. Sarah. What brings you in today? Patient: Kia ora, Dr. Sarah.
