Cultural Tip
Telemedicine has become routine across Spanish‑speaking countries, especially after the pandemic. In formal settings (e.g., hospitals) you may hear "consulta virtual" or "cita por teleconsulta". When speaking with a doctor you can keep the tone polite by using "¿Podría confirmarme…?" if you want to be extra courteous.
