- At the beginning, inform the doctor about the purpose of your consultation.
- Provide comprehensive answers. During a teleconsultation, the doctor’s primary source of information – in addition to attached test results and your medical history – is what you say. Therefore, describe all observed symptoms and any discomfort you are experiencing.
- Do not hesitate to ask questions. Ask the questions you prepared earlier. Let the doctor know that you would like to write down the most important information.
- Tell the doctor if you do not understand something. Ask for clarification.
- If you do not hear something, ask for it to be repeated.
- If the doctor does not inform you about a follow-up visit, ask whether it is necessary.
- During a teleconsultation, the doctor does not issue referrals for computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. For this purpose, you will be advised to schedule an in-person visit at a medical facility.
