I found two different translations for "going to see a doctor," and I was wondering which contexts you would use each in.



The first is 受診じゅしんする which is defined on jisho.org as "having a medical examination; seeing a doctor​."



The other option I found on jisho was (医者に)見てもらう。My understanding of this is that a literal translation would be "I received the favor of (being seen by) a doctor."



The first translation makes sense in that it literally refers to the examination. However, if you wanted to say, "I'm going to see a doctor [at a specific time]" (like tomorrow, today, etc) which one of these phrases would you pick? How would this be different from indicating continuing care by saying "I am being seen by a doctor" (on a continuing basis)?



Thanks, folks!

          You can use both:




          • 明日(病院を)受診します。

          • 明日(医者に)見てもらいます。

          • (月に2回)皮膚科を受診しています。

          • (月に2回)皮膚科の先生に見てもらっています。



          Difference:



          • 受診 sounds relatively more objective and formal because it's a kango (See: wago-and-kango). But it's safe also in casual conversations.

          • 受診 can take an institute name as a direct object.

          • As you already know, てもらう carries some nuance of "receiving favor", but it's not an issue unless you dislike the doctor.

          As an aside, 見る can be replaced by 診る.
