Few words to myself around telehealth/consults generally 
1) don't go into a consultation with any perceived expectations or barriers - let the conversation flow were it wants to go
2) Give the patient time to talk, air any concerns - even if you think its irrelevant

3)Pick your battles!!. Dont feel the need to correct or challenge everything that's is said if its of little consequence.
4) Ask patients take on the matter and what they think may be contributing
5)Be conversationalist and have banter

6) Reflect, paraphrase and recap
7) Don't be disheartened if patient doesn't want to go in the direction that you want!. Cant win them all, its not a battle of wills
8) Look after mental health- train, walk, talk cases with collegues
9) Its ok to 'not be on form' all the time

I will add 10) if its all confusing or your unsure of whats going on - bring them in for a f2f.

. Could go all day. Between patients, on dinner and after work watch or listen to something comedic - have a laugh and unwind. Helps me not fall into the abyss whilst being stuck in house
