I want you to give me a cat, a puppy, or a goldfish for my birthday is different from I want you to give me a cat, a puppy, and a goldfish for my birthday.

"And" is additive and inclusive, and indicates EVERYTHING from the list, so in the example sentence, "and" would mean that the doctor recommended that the combination of all three be avoided, but that an individual element would be ok.
