What's a good Android app for having a doctor's appointment without having to drive all the way to the VA clinic? It's a real hassle sometimes, especially in the winter.

So, my students actually showed me this VA Video Connect app. I was skeptical at first – I mean, I still prefer face-to-face when possible. But honestly, it's pretty neat. It's like having a teaching assistant in your pocket, but instead of grading papers, it's connecting you with your doctor! Took me a few days to figure out all the features, and why do they hide the settings button there? Anyway, once you get the hang of it, it's a lifesaver, especially during Ohio winters when driving to the clinic is a nightmare. I had a check-up last month using it, and the picture was clear, the sound was good, and it saved me a whole afternoon. Beats sitting in the waiting room with who-knows-what germs floating around. The VA sends reminders, which is good because, let's be honest, I forget half my appointments these days. It's not perfect, but it's a definite step up from just a phone call. You can actually see the doctor's expressions, which, as a teacher, I can tell you is important!
