Consultation Prep

9 articles in this category · Last updated 2026-05-17

The bottleneck of remote expert consultation has never been "finding a good doctor" -- it's that the doctor can't read your case. Records scattered across six emails, three CDs, and two languages will leave even the most experienced specialist with only a vague impression.

The articles in this category solve three things: how to organize fragmented materials into a case brief a specialist can read in 30 minutes; how to choose between Single Expert, MDT, and Second Opinion; and which practical details -- easy to overlook -- matter most before the consultation actually begins.

Currently 8 articles in this category. Start with the cornerstone pieces below.

Case Records & the Case Brief

A case brief is the core deliverable of remote consultation -- not a translation of medical records, but a restructured, readable, structured Chinese-language case summary with a clear question list.

Choosing the Consultation Format

The choice between Single Expert, MDT, and Second Opinion determines what kind of opinion you ultimately receive. These articles help you decide which tier is right for your case.

Practical Preparation Before the Consultation

With your case brief ready and consultation format chosen, a few easily-missed details remain -- record translation, communication with your home doctor, and video consultation setup.
