Welcome to Medical Voices: Now Every Tuesday and Friday

0:00 Hi, I'm Nadia.

0:02 And I'm Tom, and this is Medical Voices, the podcast where you learn medical English by listening to real conversations.

0:12 Every Tuesday, we take you inside a consultation, a GP appointment, a hospital ward, a pharmacy counter. You hear the whole conversation, and then we break down the English that clinicians actually use.

0:26 And now we're adding a second episode every week, on Fridays.

0:31 One Friday, it's everyday consultations. Short, everyday situations at B1 level, like booking an appointment by phone.

0:41 Good morning, Elmwood Surgery. How can I help?

0:44 Hi, I'd like to book an appointment, please. Is there anything this week?

0:49 We teach both sides, what the receptionist or the doctor says and how you answer. Useful for nurses and doctors and for anyone who's ever sat in a waiting room. So all of us. The next Friday it's Nadia and Tom talk, just the two of us, chatting about the English nobody teaches you.

1:10 Like how to sound polite, not rude, with patients. Or why you go to the chemist in London, but the drugstore in New York.

1:17 And once a month on a Sunday, we put several conversations together into a long, listening marathon. No lessons, no quizzes, just press play and listen.

1:28 Free transcripts are on medicalvoices.health. And just so you know, everything here is for language learning, not medical advice.

1:37 New episodes every Tuesday and Friday. Follow Medical Voices so you don't miss one.

1:43 See you on Tuesday.

1:45 And on Friday.
