我需要医生。

How it works

This follows the standard Chinese word order: Subject + Verb + Object.

• 我 (wǒ): I
• 需要 (xū yào): to need / to require
• 医生 (yī shēng): doctor

Neutral tone

In casual, natural speech, the second syllable of 医生 is often pronounced with a neutral tone (yī sheng), though it retains its first tone (shēng) in formal or highly articulated speech.

Adaptability

The chunk 我需要 (wǒ xū yào) is highly productive. You can replace 医生 with anything you urgently require, such as 药 (yào, medicine) or 休息 (xiū xi, rest).

Notes

A standard Subject-Verb-Object sentence to request medical attention.
