Ciao bella :) I am not a doctor, but I'm a patient :D I can help you out with a couple of things, and for more rigorous terminology you will have to find a doctor to help you out. First of all, about your original message - you made a couple of minor mistakes, here is the correct version with the corrections in capital letters: "Hi! I am a MEDICINE student (also: med student). I'm LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO can teach me how patients (and not the patients) SPEAK with their doctor and technical English (again, no the). In North America (USA and Canada), a doctor usually works at a hospital or a clinic. The doctor you see when you have a simple illness or for a regular check-up (a check-up is an examination which you do when there are no special symptoms, just to make sure everything is ok) is called a FAMILY DOCTOR or a GENERAL PRACTITIONER (GP). You can BOOK AN APPOINTMENT in advance, or, if you need to see a doctor right away, you will have to wait as a WALK-IN PATIENT until the doctor is free to see you. The doctor will EXAMINE you, may ask for LAB TESTS - for example blood tests (sometimes referred to as "bloodwork"), ask for your SYMPTOMS, may provide a REPORT OF FINDINGS followed by a DIAGNOSIS and a COURSE OF TREATMENT. If the course of treatment includes medication, the doctor will usually provide you with a PRESCRIPTION, with which you can buy PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION at the pharmacy. Since we in North America usually pay for our medication, the patient can ask for GENERIC medication, rather than BRAND NAME, which is more expensive. Medical Doctors are part of a larger group called Health-care Practitioners. These may also include dentists, chiropractors, acupuncturists and even massage therapists. I hope this gives you a good start :) you will have a lot to cover, so please feel free to ask if you have any specific questions. Salve!
