After confirming the platform qualifications and doctor background, you need to understand the consultation fees and service content. Different platforms have different prices and services. You can compare multiple platforms to choose the right platform.
2. Preparation before consultation
Before consulting a doctor online, you need to understand your physical condition and the questions you will be consulting. If necessary, important examination reports and medical records can be prepared in advance to facilitate diagnosis by the consulting doctor. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the network connection is good to ensure the smooth progress of the consultation.
(1) Physical condition
Understanding your own physical condition is the basis for online doctor consultation. For example, you need to know important basic information such as your menstrual cycle and gestational age. This information can help doctors make a better diagnosis of the problem.
(2) Question preparation
When consulting online, you need to be fully prepared for your questions. How to describe symptoms, duration, pain level, etc. also needs to be paid attention to. You can write down your questions on paper first, which not only helps to make the inquiry more comprehensive, but also effectively reduces the number of missed items caused by forgetting or being nervous.
(3) Network environment
Online doctor consultation requires a good network environment to avoid consultation interruption caused by network fluctuations. At the same time, it is necessary to choose a quiet and comfortable environment to avoid external factors from interfering with the consultation.
3. Conduct online doctor consultation
When conducting online doctor consultation, you must fully communicate with the doctor and convey your symptoms and problems to the doctor in a timely manner.
(1) Keep communication open
When consulting with a doctor online, you need to maintain coherent language, pay attention to follow the doctor\’s instructions, and do not interrupt the consultation process or switch frequently. If someone is assisting in translation, you need to ensure that the auxiliary translator understands the entire consultation process and ensures smooth communication.
(2) Describe the problem clearly
When describing a problem to a doctor, you need to describe the symptoms, duration, frequency, pain level and other information as detailed and clearly as possible, and answer the doctor\’s questions as much as possible to facilitate the doctor\’s diagnosis and analysis of the problem.
(3) Detailed consultation
During the consultation, the doctor may summarize, sort out the condition, and analyze doubts by asking questions. At this time, the patient needs to listen carefully and answer patiently, and must not conceal or make lies to avoid delaying the condition.
4. Notes
When conducting online doctor consultation, you need to pay attention to the following matters to avoid negligence and mistakes during the consultation process.
(1) Based on doctor’s advice
The advice given by the doctor is an effective solution to help the patient solve the problem. It is necessary to consult according to the doctor\’s instructions and follow the doctor\’s treatment suggestions and instructions. If you have special needs, it is best to inform your doctor first and seek his approval.
(2) Be careful to prevent the condition from getting worse
Online doctor consultation is not suitable for consultation on acute and serious illnesses, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome, heat stroke, severe trauma and poisoning. You should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
(3) Reasonably maintain personal privacy
During online doctor consultation, the doctor needs to collect the patient\’s personal medical records and physical condition and other information, so personal privacy needs to be protected. Choose a qualified online doctor platform and pay attention to the platform’s user agreement and privacy policy.
Summary
The above is a detailed explanation of how to consult a doctor online when pregnant. You need to choose a suitable platform, make preparations before consultation, standardize the consultation process, and pay attention to matters to ensure the smooth progress of consultation. During the epidemic, a reasonable choice of online doctor consultation can not only solve the problem in time, but also avoid the risk of infection.
