Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries patients are expected to bring a "historial médico" (medical record) and a list of current medications. When speaking directly to a doctor, it’s polite to use the formal "usted" form (e.g., "¿Qué información necesita usted?") unless the doctor invites a more informal tone.
