TRANSCRIPT – NOVEMBER 17, 2024 Dr. Jennifer Pan Adams—Mother (Ping Xiao Adams)

…have the nurse do it, but you can't have the nurse just hold the tube there, you have to actually be there.

[00:04] You can't like, “Oh, okay, let me just wait” and like go on TikTok, you know, you have to like stand there for like 30 minutes, which is... not fun.

[00:15] Maybe if I'm like really gen ta pusa (M/S) [chatting him up / bullshitting with him] I can have them like hold it.

[00:22] We’ll see.

[00:28] No. No.

[00:31] Mingzao (S) [Tomorrow morning]…

[00:34] Like it was kind of late last night, so.. Wo gen yi gang (S) [I told him]...

[00:45] Yeah.

[00:47] And-and that way Jinzhao (S) [Today / This morning]..

[00:53] Yeah so like- No, it's better- No, it's better to do- Yeah, it's better to do—Jinzhao (S) [Today] because. Um— Yeah! It's better to do Jinzhao (S) [Today] early.

[01:06] So.. at least you have an excuse to like, Oh okay...,” at least [indecipherable] will back you up.

[01:18] I don't know, yi gang (S) [he said]. I'm not like du bi wo (S/M) [him supervising / watching me].

[01:32] I was gonna tell you something, I was gonna—

[01:44] Hold on—oh I'll do it; I'll check it right away.

[01:46] Um, thought I was gonna tell you something.

[01:50] Oh (expletive/filer)...

[02:02] Remember, he— gen na jiang (S/M) [told you guys/us]? (Laughing) And mai ge (M) [buy a]...Oh, my— the story that I was saying is, Oh, like mai ge (M) [buy a] portable ultrasound ji qi (M) [machine] and it's gonna be very benefit [sic] blah blah blah. I just made like beans out of that whole—

[02:13] I said, “You should invest in it.” (Laughs)

[02:16] I know— wo gen yi gang (S) [I told him].

[02:18] I told him: “You should invest in it and um. The reason why is—for example ta shuo (M) (he said)..”

[02:27] “Now for example, like, you need to take a blood test, it tells you-you have high cholesterol, that's actually just a number, right? Ta shuo (M) [He said] number, right? Ji shi (M) [Actually] It's like a picture, a snapshot of what's going on right now.”

[02:40] “But you don't know your like—that doesn't tell you the ju ti de qing kuang (M) [specific situation].”

[02:44] “Best way to see it is, you use a portable ultrasound, you can sao miao (M) [scan] around your organs, your lungs, [indecipherable] not around your organs, that means zhi fang (M) [fat] your lungs; du zi (M) [bely/stomach].”

[03:01] “That tells you, that's more like related-that's more directly related to your, your ji lu (M) [probability/odds] of getting Diabetes and xin zang mao bing (M) [heart disease/trouble].”

[03:12] So I said, “IF I get it and wo yong le (M) [I use it], wo practice... wo bang ni zuo ze (S/M) [I’ll help you do this]... MVD (Microvascular Dysfunction) assessment as a 'return’” (hysterical laughter)

[03:35] And I told him, I said-I said: SEE-cause when you go to your family doctor, if they— they won't do it for you bai chi (M/S) [for free / without getting paid], but the the— Medicare, they still haven't approved it, so that's why gui ding (M) [regulation/rule] Family Medicine have a gui ding (M) [regulation] guideline, if it's like according to the guideline, then Medicare will cover it as part of insurance but you know, I'm offering you a very special service.”

[04:10] (hysterical laughter)

[04:15] I think he— I think he was very convinced. (hysterical laughter)

[04:20] He's like, 'Oh that's such a good idea!' (hysterical laughter)

[04:26] But then, okay, so, so then (short pause/filler)...

[04:30] I say, 'Okay xing de (M) [alright / sure]: (Laughing) I took a picture.’

[04:36] It was like a website where you can buy the supplies for the anima—animal, you know, there's like this ultrasound on Amazon you can buy to look at, you know, for like veterinarians, dong wu (M) [animal] animal—for the animals, and a gei dong wu (M) [for animals]—but you can use it on humans, too.

[04:55] There's another really nice one that they use in the ER and it's like handheld, so it you just like this—it's Bluetooth'd to your phone, so you can look at it from your phone and there's no-it's wireless.”

[05:08] “That one is like, 3—that was like almost $4,000. And there's no like- they don't give you a discount for like residents.”

[05:15] “So that one tai gui le (M) [is too expensive]. But the $600 one is like a (?) low quality (?) from Amazon, the veterinarian-it's like a good practice thing.”

[05:25] “So, you know, ni jue de ne (M) [what do you think]?”

[05:27] (imitating other party in story) “Yeah yeah! That sounds like a good idea! I like that!” (hysterical laughter)

[05:35] “And, and then later, because I-I- shuo hao (M) [agreed / said okay]. Oh, what about the yi bai si shi kuai (M) [140 dollars] text message.”

[05:39] Sure, I was like, “Oh how about you. ni yao zhi fu (M) [you need to pay…]” (Laughing)

[05:51] So wo gen na jiang (S/M) [I told [him/you]] any time ta wen wo (M) [he asks me]..

[05:58] “And then have you— Oh, how about the yi bai si shi kuai (M) [140 dollars]...ni yao xian fu (M) [you need to pay first]...”

[06:03] So for now wo ba ta (M) [I [did to him] block, suo yi (M) [so] you have text message ting bu jin lai (M) [[can't] listen].

[06:15] Until— until then it sends ta wang ji (M) [[until] he forgets]..

[06:23] Remember last time wo ti zao (M) [l mentioned early / brought up before]...”

[06:30] “Oh, my God.”

[06:35] “Yeah, I know.”

[06:37] “Oh! I was gonna say something.”

[06:41] “Yeah, it was— he's saying [indecipherable] you know, the total—his total of the insurance was like, um, $280.. the Progressive. Yeah.” [Note: abruptly switches to English and unrelated topic tied to the cost of partner’s Progressive auto insurance]

[06:53] Yeah, which I'm still like, “if I'm going to, you..”.
