Cultural Tip
In Italian health‑care settings the register is usually formal. Using the imperative is acceptable when speaking to staff you have a working relationship with, but with senior physicians you might soften it with ‘potrebbe raccogliere…’ or ‘per favore, raccogli…’. Also, ‘cartelle cliniche’ is the standard term across Italy; in some northern regions you may also hear ‘fascicoli clinici’.
