Question

Dear Users,Here's an email with a query I'm going to send to a local clinic. I find it a bit difficult to form the question regarding obtaining copies of test results and X-ray pictures. The underlined fragments aren't a part of the email; those are my doubts/questions. Dear XYZ,Thank you for your message and the attached document.  I wanted to ask if it is (or: if it would be) possible to get copies of the blood test results, ECG results, and X-ray pictures that were done yesterday. The problem with putting it this way is that we have 3 different items here (blood test results, ECG results, X-ray pics). I guess "were done" isn't exactly the best phrase here. Also, I don't know if I should add "the" in front of each item. Is there any way to put them all in one sentence, or do I have to break it down? Can I get them all at the clinic? Best regards,XYZ

"Would be" sounds more polite. "For me" is explicitly what you mean, so it is clearer to write that. I guess you meant "EKG". "Were done" is not ideal, but I am not sure I understand what you mean because the results of a blood test are not normally available on the same day as the blood was drawn, and EKGs and X-rays have to be evaluated to get results. You don't normally get the actual X-ray picture or EKG strip. To "get" them at the clinic does not necessarily mean in person.
