📝🔊 Dr. Slope looks at Simon. Simon says that he was hoping that Dr. Slope would be able to diagnose the problem. To “diagnose,” the verb, is to figure out what's wrong with you. It's a verb we usually use for medicine, for doctors. The doctor diagnoses the patient. The doctor figures out what's wrong with the person. The “patient,” of course, is the person who is sick, the person who is seeing the doctor. The noun for diagnose is “diagnosis,” with an –sis at the end, and that is what the doctor tells you that you have, what problem you have. So, someone may say, “What's the diagnosis?” they mean, “What is the problem?” That would be the noun. You can use that verb “diagnose” outside of medicine. It is sometimes used, for example, if you have a problem with your computer, and the IT, the technical people may come in and “diagnose” the problem on your computer, figure out or find out what is wrong with your computer.

✳️ Dr. Slope: Well, let's take a look. Hmm, I want to order some tests, but I think you may need surgery. It's a simple procedure and it will relieve your pain.
📝🔊 Dr. Slope says, “Well, let's take a look,” and that is a common expression, “Let's take a look,” “Let's examine you.” He says that he wants to order some tests, but he thinks that Simon may need surgery. To “order some tests” is very similar to “to run some tests.” To order a test means that the doctor gives you a piece of paper that you take to the laboratory. He's telling you, he's ordering, if you will, these tests from the laboratory. But here, it usually means to run the test. The laboratory actually does the test; they actually run the test, but we usually use those verbs pretty much in the same way: “to order a test,” “to run a test.”

📝🔊 The doctor says he's going order some tests, but he thinks that Simon may need surgery. “Surgery,” a noun, is when the doctor has to cut you, open you, somehow. Usually, it's something that you do in a hospital, usually it’s something you do in an operating room. To “operate” means the same as “to do surgery” on someone. You may need surgery to fix your heart, you may need surgery to fix your knee. The doctor has to actually, we would say, “cut you open” and fix you or go inside your body to fix whatever is the problem. “Surgery” is the noun, again, the verb is “to do surgery” or “to operate.” There's also the adjective “surgical,” which is.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
🔰surgery (n.): when the doctor cuts open or performs some procedure on or in your body: عمل جراحى
🔰cut: بریدن، شکافتن
🔰operating room: اطاق عمل
🔰to operate: to do surgery on someone: عمل کردن
🔰surgical (adj.): related to surgery: مربوط به جراحى، عمل جراحى

📝🔊 Dr. Slope says, “It's a simple procedure and it will relieve your pain.” A “procedure” is another word really for surgery or operation. It's what the doctor has to do to you. It's not always the same as a surgery. A procedure may be, for example, that they need to examine your stomach, so they may need to put something in your mouth and down your throat into your stomach. That would be a procedure. The procedure can also mean, however, an operation or a surgery.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
🔰procedure: surgery, operation: a series of activities or steps: عمل، رویه، روش
🔰stomach:معده، شکم

✳️ Dr. Slope: Well, let's take a look. Hmm, I want to order some tests, but I think you may need surgery. It's a simple procedure and it will relieve your pain.
📝🔊 The doctor says the procedure will relieve your pain. To “relieve” pain means to lessen pain, to lower your pain, to give you, uh, to make you feel better so you have less pain. The noun is “relief,” the verb is to “relieve.”
➖➖➖➖➖➖
🔰relieve (v.): to lessen pain, to lower your pain, to make you feel better so you have less pain: (درد و دلواپسی و فشار وغیره) کاستن، آرام کردن، تسکین دادن،
🔰relief (n.): آرام سازی، تسکین، آرامش

✳️ Simon: So, it's not a high risk operation?
📝🔊 Simon says to the doctor, “So, it's not a high risk operation?” A “high risk” (two words) means that it could be dangerous. When we say that something is “high risk,” that means that the surgery or the operation could cause more problems. Of course, an operation is the noun that means the same as surgery.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
🔰high risk operation: it could be dangerous or the surgery or the operation could cause more problems: dangerous surgery:عمل پرخطر

➖➖➖➖➖➖
🔰high risk operation: it could be dangerous or the surgery or the operation could cause more problems: dangerous surgery:عمل پرخطر
✳️ Dr. Slope: No, not at all. It's quite routine.
📝🔊 Dr. Slope says, “Not at all,” meaning not even a little bit; it's not high risk. We say, “not at all” means “no,” “not in any way.” Dr. Slope says, “It's quite routine.” And again, “routine” we know means it's common, it's quite normal. Notice that the use of the word “quite;” it's basically the same as it's “very” routine, very common. It's a little more formal, when someone says, “It's quite routine,” but they're used similarly—very and quite—in this case.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
🔰not at all: no, not in any way: ابدا، به هيچ‌وجه

✳️ Simon: Are there any other treatment options?
📝🔊 Simon says, “Are there any other treatment options?” “Treatment” is another word for what the doctor gives you or does to you to help you. That's called the treatment. So you go to the doctor, and the doctor diagnoses you, and then, he or she gives you a treatment, maybe some pills or drugs to take. It may be surgery, it may be changing your exercise or your diet, what you eat. (“Stop smoking,” for example; that's good advice.) So, Simon asks what the other treatment options or choices are.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
🔰treatment: what the doctor gives you or does to you to help you: درمان، مداوا، معالجه
🔰option: choice: انتخاب، گزینه
🔰pill: drug: دارو، دوا
🔰to take pill/drug: دارو خوردن/مصرف کردن

✳️ Dr. Slope: Not that I'd recommend. This is the best course of treatment, in my opinion.
📝🔊 Dr. Slope says that there are no other good treatment options. He says, “Not that I'd recommend,” meaning there are no other ones that I'd recommend.
He says, “This is the best course of treatment, in my opinion.” The expression “course of treatment” really means the same as “This is the best treatment.” A course of treatment usually means that there is more than one thing that you have to do, several things that you may have to do.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
🔰not that…: short for “not something that” or “not anyone that”: نه اینکه
🔰recommend: پيشنهاد/سفارش/توصيه کردن
🔰course of treatment: a series of things the doctor does to cure you or make your better: دوره درمان/معالجه

✳️ I was really surprised by what Dr. Slope said. I really didn't want to have surgery. I think I'd better get a second opinion before going under the knife.
📝🔊 At the end of the story, Simons says he’s really surprised, that he doesn't want to have surgery. And, of course, who wants to have surgery? He says, “I'd better get a second opinion before going under the knife.” A “second opinion” is when you go to the doctor and the doctor says, “Well, I think you need this” or “I think the problem is that.” You say, “Okay, thanks, doctor. I want to talk to someone else, I want a second opinion.” And in most medical insurance plans in the United States, you can ask for a second opinion from a different doctor to make sure that it really is the correct diagnosis. The expression “to go under the knife” means to have an operation, to have a surgery, to be operated on, where the doctor actually has to take a knife and cut you open. The expression is “to go under the knife,” to have surgery.

👉 Now let's listen to the dialogue this time at a native rate of speech.
✳️ I went to see my doctor because I had a nagging pain in my leg. After he examined me and did some routine tests, he suggested that I go see a specialist. I made an appointment with Dr. Slope.
