Online doctor consults ne distance, traffic aur waiting room wale stress ko kaafi kam kiya hai. Lekin maximum benefit tab milta hai jab tum thoda prepared ho ke baitho.
Sabse pehle, symptom list ready rakho: kya problem hai, kab se hai, kaisa dard/feeling hai, kya cheez se badhta–ghatta hai, koi fever, vomiting, breathing problem, etc. Agar tum bas “mujhe accha nahi lag raha” bologe, consult time symptom extract karne me hi nikal jaayega.
Aapki current medicines (naam + dose), allergies, aur past major illnesses/surgeries ka ek simple note handy rakho. Blood reports, scan photos, old prescriptions agar relevant hain, unki photo ya PDF pehle se phone/computer me rakho.
Call ke time environment relatively quiet ho—background me loud TV, traffic, ya 10 log simultaneously bol rahe honge to details miss ho sakti hain. Network connection bhi stable ho to video/ audio clarity better rehegi.
Online consult ke limits samajhna bhi zaroori hai. Doctor screen se BP, oxygen, chest sounds directly check nahi kar sakta. Agar symptoms serious hain – chest pain, severe breathlessness, stroke signs, heavy bleeding – ye online ke scope se bahar emergency cases hote hain.
Best use-case: follow-ups, mild to moderate issues, basic guidance, report discussion, second opinion, ya ongoing chronic disease management ke adjustments.
