Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:26 Explanations: 3:13 Fast dialogue: 10:54 Silvia: What are you watching? Hermann: I’m watching a show about the health problems in developing countries. Silvia: Don’t we have enough healthcare problems here, in this country? Hermann: We do, but there are countries that have a lot more acute problems than we do. Silvia: Oh, those kids are so cute. Hermann: Yeah, but a lot of them are going to die of malnutrition and infectious diseases, things that are preventable. Silvia: I thought the biggest problem was the spread of AIDS and HIV. Hermann: Those are huge problems, no question about it, but a lot of people die of other preventable diseases, too, such as malaria, tuberculosis, and measles. Believe it or not, we’ve had immunizations for measles for over 40 years! Silvia: That’s terrible. I can see why you’re studying medicine. I wish I could be a doctor. Hermann: You could, but first, you’ll need to get over your fear of blood. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
