💬 [来] often means "come here for a purpose" in medical or office settings: [我今天来体检] = "I'm here for a checkup," not just "I came today." You can swap in another purpose, like [我今天来复查] for "I'm here for a follow-up today."

Please
💬 [请] goes before the action to make it polite: [请坐] "please sit," [请等一下] "please wait a moment." In clinics it often sounds more like a polite instruction than a request.
