Telemedical Consultation Hitches and Glitches
Online audio may not be clear all the time. Explanation and discussion should be reinforced with writing on the chat board or other medium to avoid misunderstanding and to promote understanding.
Online video may not be clear all the time, especially when examining patients' body parts. Separate offline video of the body parts should be taken to complement the online video.
Professional fee to be charged should be agreed upon by patient and relatives with a written conforme on the chat board or other medium. This will avoid misunderstanding and ill-feeling.
Ask somebody to take video and record the whole telemedical consultation (this can be reviewed by the patient - a copy is to sent to me).
Ask another body to stand by to take still picture.
Ask another body if needed to help manipulate the laptop or ipad or cellphone for the video chat.
Videocam must be of good quality for effective video consultation. Otherwise, this has to be complemented or supported by a separate videotaping from a cellphone and send to me through "chat" or email. - 20mar28.
Take screenshot of the telemedical consultation at the start of the session.
Take pictures of physical examination gesture.

Advice on how to respond to initial symptoms:
Every human being feels some symptoms which may suggest some diseases. The symptoms can occur anytime of the day and any place with no evident or obvious triggers or causes, at least at the first second or first minute it is felt. At its onset, every human being has to right to be alarmed because of possibility of the symptoms being a forerunner of a definite disease, which may be curable or not curable. Only time will tell what will happen in the next seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and even years. Just wait and watch and monitor closely with the hope (which includes prayer), that everything will turn out alright. The best hope (and prayer) is for the symptoms to spontaneously disappear in due time and soon. The next best hope (and prayer) is for the symptoms not to be part of a medical condition called disease. The next best hope (and prayer) is for the symptoms, if diagnosed already as a medical disease, to be something curable in due time and soon. The next best hope (and prayer), if there is a diagnosed disease already, is for it to be able to be treated easily, with non-invasive procedures, with short downtime, and with the least expense. Fortunately, majority (as high as 90%) of symptoms felt at the start at anytime anyplace are nonspecific and will regress or resolve spontaneously even without medical intervention. Again, one has just have to wait and watch and monitor with the best hope and wish (and prayer). One should not panic right away and do irrational intervention. One can be alarmed and anxious but one should not panic. Just wait and hope for the best.
