Cultural Tip
In French medical settings, the formal ‘vous’ is usually preferred, so a doctor would more commonly say « Énumérez clairement tous vos symptômes ». Using ‘tes’ and the informal imperative is appropriate only with patients you know well (e.g., a teenager or a close family member). Also, French speakers often ask for a chronological order of symptoms, so adding « dans l'ordre chronologique » can sound even more natural.
