Yes, the way doctor’s conducting face-to-face consultation.
Have you been to your doctor’s clinic lately? What were the changes you've noticed?
I waited more than an hour for my turn at the waiting area outside the clinic’s building. I informed the assistant that I can’t make at first hour because there was an urgent thing that I need to process at the city hall. I’ve instructed her to just skip my name and then let me in when I arrived.
The last time I had a consultation with my doctor was on June last year but it was online. They’re not comfortable to conduct face-to-face consultation during that time as the rate of infection was fast.
Today, I’ve met my doctor finally and it’s a bit astonishing to see changes how they handle up the consultation with all the precautionary measures were still applied. It’s not only that there is physical distancing but there’s a division separating the patient and doctor but conversation is still audible. The patient will get inside to what looks like and isolation booth.
The doctor’s guaranteed that there’s nothing much to worry about my symptoms and he has prescribed me set of medicines to be take for about two weeks.

Today I had telephonic consultation with my doctor who incidentally is my good friend. He also have got some restriction on patients. Nobody can't just walk in as was done earlier. Prior appointment has to be taken. Doctor however has invited me to visit him for detailed or face to face consultation.
