Online consultation ab normal ho gaya hai, lekin bohot log video call pe half-prepared hote hain, jisse doctor detailed help nahi de paata. Thodi planning se call zyada useful ban sakti hai.
Sabse pehle, apne symptoms list short points me likh lo – kab se, kitni severity, kya triggers, kya cheezein relief deti hain. Agar fever, BP, sugar, weight jaise numbers available hain, to unko nearby rakho. Old reports, medicines ki strip, ya prescription ka photo handy rakhna bhi easy rehta hai.
Quiet, well-lit corner choose karo. Call ke time background noise, TV, multiple logon ka bolna, poor network – ye sab communication ko confusing bana dete hain. Jahan relevant ho, camera se rash, swelling, wound etc. clearly dikhana helpful hota hai.
Doctor jo name aur dose batata hai, woh likho ya app me screenshot save karo. “Later yaad rahega” rarely kaam karta hai. At the end, agar kuch unclear ho to confirm kar lo: “Mujhe ye ye cheezein samajh aayi – sahi hai na?”
Telemedicine emergencies ke liye nahi, routine ya moderate issues, follow-ups, reports discuss karne ke liye best hai. Agar doctor bole ki “aapko in-person aana better hai”, to us advice ko lightly mat lo.
