Follow-Up<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Prescriptions and Tests<\/strong>: Ask about next steps, such as prescriptions, lab tests, or follow-up appointments.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Documentation<\/strong>: Some providers may email a summary of the consultation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>8.
