Cultural Tip
Telemedicine has become routine in Italy, especially after 2020. In a formal setting you might hear “consultazione a distanza” or “visita telematica”. When speaking with a doctor, keep a polite tone and use the formal ‘Lei’ if you are not on a first‑name basis, e.g., “Il dottore mi vedrà in videochiamata, dottore?”
