  • Original Julia: Aren’t you nervous about your surgery next week? Hugh: No, it’s a routine procedure. I don’t even need to be admitted overnight. Julia: But ==aren’t you going under general anesthesia? It's not the same as local anesthesia, you know. Hugh: Yes, I know. This is an out-patient procedure. If the doctors don't think I can go home the same day, they'll just keep me under observation. Julia: All the same, there may be complications. Hugh: It's supposed to be a low-risk procedure. If there are post-op problems, I'm sure the doctors will take good care of me. Julia: But what if they release you too early from the hospital. I've heard that these days doctors are under pressure to free up beds as soon as possible. Hugh: It's true that I may be impaired== after the procedure, but my daughter will be there and I trust her judgment. I’m sure she’ll make sure I’m fine to go home before I’m discharged. Julia: But what if…? Hugh: Don’t worry. Nothing bad is going to happen. If it does, you can say, “I told you so.”

  • Chinese Julia：你不紧张下周的手术吗？ Hugh：不紧张，这是一个常规手术。我甚至都不需要住院过夜。 Julia：但你不是要进行全身麻醉吗？这和局部麻醉可不一样，你知道的。 Hugh：是的，我知道。这是一个门诊手术。如果医生觉得我当天不能回家，他们会让我留院观察。 Julia：话虽如此，可能还是会有并发症。 Hugh：这应该是一个低风险的手术。如果术后出现问题，我相信医生们会好好照顾我的。 Julia：但万一他们让你太早出院了呢？我听说现在医生们面临着尽快腾出床位的压力。 Hugh：确实，术后我的状态可能会受到影响，但我女儿会在那里，我信任她的判断力。我相信她会在我出院前确保我没问题的。 Julia：但万一……？ Hugh：别担心。不会有什么坏事发生的。如果真出了什么事，你可以说”我早就告诉过你了。”
