In today's episode...
G’day mates! In this ripper episode of Aussie English, our mate Pete ditches the usual walking format to share a fair dinkum yarn about a recent trip to the hospital. So, he’s chilling at home, innocently trying to propagate a monstera plant when things take an unexpected turn.
Pete spills the beans on the whole saga – from the plant-cutting mishap to his visit to the local hospital’s emergency department. He walks you through the Aussie way of handling medical stuff, like the triage process, the cost if you don’t have Medicare, and what it’s like waiting in the ER.
Now, brace yourself for the stitchin’ part. Pete dives deep into the experience of getting stitches, describing the odd sensations and throwing in a bit of humor. He even spills the beans on the bonus he scored – the tools to remove the stitches at home! Who knew hospital visits could come with a DIY element?
Despite the seriousness of the situation, Pete keeps it fair dinkum with his classic Aussie humor, sharing language insights and giving you a bloody good yarn. So, if you’re keen to learn about Aussie medical lingo, laugh a bit, and get a sneak peek into the Aussie healthcare system, chuck this episode on your playlist. Pete’s got the lowdown on stitches, plant propagating, and a bit of Aussie charm. Tune in, legends!
