5. Set the scene.
Before starting your call make sure you are in a quiet place that you can focus on your conversation with your doctor and not have other distractions. Also, make sure you are in a place where you can talk openly about your condition and any concerns you might have. If that needs to be the kitchen pantry, do it! Just make sure you have good lighting. Avoid sitting with your back to a window, as that can darken your video image.
