Questions & Answers about uketsuke de shinsatsuken o dashitara, machiaishitsu de matte kudasai to iwaremashita.

Why is で used after both 受付 and 待合室?

In both places, で marks the location where an action happens.

• 受付で = at the reception desk / at reception
• 待合室で = in the waiting room

Here, the actions are:

• 診察券を出す at the reception desk
• 待つ in the waiting room

This is different from に, which often marks a destination or point of existence.
So:

• 受付で診察券を出す = hand over the patient card at reception
• 待合室で待つ = wait in the waiting room

What does 診察券 mean exactly?

診察券 is the card you show at a clinic or hospital to identify yourself as a patient. It is often translated as:

• patient card
• clinic card
• hospital registration card

It is not the same as something like a health insurance card, although in real life you may also show that separately.
