Prepare the day before, not on the day
Ten scripts printed in large type, each one a first line and four bullet points — never a full script, which produces reading rather than talking. One outfit that suits every topic. A corner with no screens, no charts, no patient data, and a mark on the floor so the framing is identical every month.
Charge everything, clear the calendar for a two-hour block, and tell reception you are unavailable. The single most common cause of a failed shoot day is a doctor being pulled out after twenty minutes.

The run sheet
Warm up with the topic you know best — never the hardest one. Then record in order, three takes each, and move on immediately without reviewing. Reviewing between takes is what turns two hours into five. Say the first line twice at the start of each take so the editor has options.
Halfway through, stand up for five minutes. Delivery degrades noticeably after about fifty minutes of talking to a lens, and the last four recordings are the ones most likely to be unusable.
What happens after you leave the room
Everything else should not involve you: editing, burning in subtitles in both languages, writing captions, scheduling, and replying to the comments. If those land back on your desk, the model breaks in month two — which is the real reason most doctors stop, and it has nothing to do with willingness.
Your remaining job is one approval pass: watch the cuts once, flag anything clinically wrong, and release. Fifteen minutes a month.
