Common mistakes
内科 specifically refers to the hospital department or specialty of internal medicine, not to internal organs or internal issues in general.
Formality
In spoken Chinese, patients often say 看内科 (kàn nèikē) to mean 'see a general physician', which is less formal than consulting a specific internal medicine specialist.
