Contexte culturel
Finns value medical privacy. Saying 'Olen menossa lääkäriin' is a complete explanation for absence; no one will ask 'Why?'. The Kela-card is essential. If you are 'menossa lääkäriin', you must have it with you to get the state subsidy. Punctuality is key. If you are 'menossa lääkäriin', you should arrive 5-10 minutes early to register. Public vs. Private. You can be 'menossa lääkäriin' to a 'terveyskeskus' (public) or 'lääkäriasema' (private).
Use for any appointment
You can use 'olla menossa' for anything: 'olla menossa kauppaan' (going to the store).
The 'iin' ending
Don't forget the 'n' at the end of 'lääkäriin'. Without it, it's just the plural partitive and sounds very strange.
