Your Pretend Appointment
You have a practice video visit with Dr. Golden, a friendly pretend doctor. Nothing here is real, and nothing you say or show is recorded or sent anywhere. Your device will ask for your camera and your microphone, one after the other. Just tap Allow both times. You will practice checking in, seeing yourself, talking with the doctor, and using the buttons.
Have a seat where the light is in front of you, not behind you, and let's begin.
The Waiting Room
✓ You are checked in.
The doctor will be with you shortly.
This wait is normal in real visits too. It is the perfect moment to get your glasses, your water, and your Prep Sheet.
Say Hello to Yourself
This is what the doctor will see. Take a moment. Everyone feels funny seeing themselves at first, and that feeling fades fast.
Tips: put a lamp or window in front of you, hold the device at eye level, and lean back so your whole face fits.
Status: waiting to start…
🎙️ I'm listening. Talk to the doctor, and I'll move us along once you're done, or tap the button anytime.
Visit Complete!
You just did every part of a telehealth visit. Here is what you practiced:
Real visits use these same buttons, in the same places. You are ready. And remember: if the video ever freezes in a real visit, do not panic. The office will call you back by phone.
