住院與出院英文：入院、病房、手術前後、出院指示

「You're being admitted.」醫師講出這句話之後，接下來幾天你會在病房裡每幾小時被量一次血壓、被問一次疼痛分數、被叫起來深呼吸／走路、然後在某一天早上拿到一張寫滿指示的 discharge instructions。每個階段都有可預測的英文，這篇把它們拆成五段：入院、病房、術前、術後、出院。

本文僅教英文溝通，不提供醫療診斷或治療建議。實際的住院安排、手術風險、出院照護請以你的醫療團隊書面說明為準。

錯誤說法 vs 自然說法

情境對話：出院前的指示

Nurse: Good morning. Dr. Patel cleared you for discharge today. Could we go over the discharge instructions together? （護理師：早安。Patel 醫師批准你今天出院。我們一起看一下出院指示好嗎？）

You: Yes, please walk me through them. （你：好，請說明一下。）

Nurse: First, your medications. Take this antibiotic twice a day for seven days, with food. Take this pain medication only as needed, up to four times a day. Don't drink alcohol while you're on either. （護理師：首先是藥。這個抗生素一天兩次，連吃七天，隨餐。這個止痛藥必要時才吃，一天最多四次。吃這兩種藥期間都不要飲酒。）

You: Got it. What about the wound? （你：了解。傷口呢？）

Nurse: Keep it dry for the first 48 hours. After that, you can shower, but pat it dry. Watch for redness, swelling, or pus, and a fever above 38.5°C. （護理師：前 48 小時保持乾燥。之後可以淋浴，但要拍乾。留意發紅、腫脹、流膿，還有體溫超過 38.5 度。）

You: What signs mean I need to come back to the ER? （你：什麼狀況要回急診？）

Nurse: Severe pain that doesn't respond to medication, heavy bleeding, fever above 38.5, or shortness of breath. Otherwise, schedule a follow-up with Dr. Patel in two weeks. （護理師：止痛藥壓不住的劇痛、大量出血、體溫超過 38.5、呼吸困難都要回來。其他情況的話，兩週後跟 Patel 醫師回診。）

You: Could I get this in writing, including the medication schedule? （你：可以請你把這些寫下來，包括吃藥時間嗎？）

Nurse: Of course. Here's your printed discharge summary. Call us anytime if you have questions. （護理師：當然。這是你的紙本出院摘要。有問題隨時打電話來。）
