Urgent Care Check-in · 紧急诊所登记
basicHi, I'd like to be seen today. I think I have a bad ear infection.
你好，我想今天看诊。我觉得我耳朵感染得很厉害。
💡 美国 Urgent Care（紧急诊所）无需预约即可 walk-in，处理非急诊但紧急的问题，费用远低于 ER。
Sure, we can take you. Have you been here before? I'll need your ID and insurance card.
可以，我们能接诊。您以前来过吗？我需要您的身份证和保险卡。
This is my first time. I'm actually visiting from overseas — I have travel insurance. Here's the policy document.
这是第一次来。我其实是海外来的——有旅行保险。这是保单文件。
💡 很多美国 Urgent Care 接受旅行保险，但可能要求先自费再找保险报销。
No problem. We do accept travel insurance, but you may need to pay upfront and file a claim for reimbursement afterward. Today's visit will be around $150 to $200.
没问题。我们接受旅行保险，但您可能需要先付费，之后向保险公司申请报销。今天的就诊大约150到200美元。
That's fine. How long is the wait right now?
没问题。现在要等多久？
💡 Urgent Care 的等待时间通常30分钟到2小时不等，有些提供在线查看等待时间。
It's about a 30-minute wait. Please fill out this intake form and we'll call your name when a room opens up.
大约等30分钟。请填写这张登记表，有空房间时我们会叫您的名字。
Describing Symptoms to the Doctor · 与医生沟通症状
intermediateMy right ear has been hurting for about three days now. The pain gets worse at night, and I've been having trouble hearing out of it.
我的右耳已经疼了大约三天了。晚上会更痛，而且那只耳朵听力变差了。
💡 向美国医生描述症状时要具体说明：位置、持续时间、严重程度变化。
I see. Let me take a look. I'm going to use this otoscope to examine your ear canal. You might feel a little pressure — just stay still for me.
好的，让我看看。我要用这个耳镜检查你的耳道。可能会有一点压迫感——保持不动就行。
Okay. Is it an infection? Should I be worried?
好的。是感染吗？我需要担心吗？
💡 美国人就诊时直接问医生自己的状况是完全正常的，医生也期望患者提问。
It's a moderate ear infection — your eardrum is red and swollen. I'll prescribe antibiotics and some ear drops. You should feel better within 48 hours.
是中度耳朵感染——你的耳膜发红肿胀了。我会开抗生素和一些耳药水。48小时内你应该会好转。
Where should I get the prescription filled? I'm not from around here.
我应该去哪里拿药？我不是本地人。
💡 美国的处方药在药房（pharmacy）取。连锁药店如 CVS、Walgreens 遍布各地，超市里也有药房。
There's a CVS two blocks east of here. I'll send the prescription electronically so it'll be ready by the time you get there. Take the full course of antibiotics even if you start feeling better.
往东两个街区有一家 CVS。我会电子发送处方，你到那里就可以取了。即使开始感觉好了，也要把抗生素全部吃完。
