• The ugly green ghost that became known as “Slimer” was first known as the “Onion Head ghost” because the puppet’s components emitted such a disagreeable odor.

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: I manage a large doctor’s clinic that treats hundreds of seniors each month. We are moving to more telehealth visits to help keep our patients safe at home during the coronavirus pandemic, but this new way of seeing a doctor is befuddling to many of our elder patients. Can you write a column educating patients on how to prepare for a telehealth appointment? -- Regular Reader

Dear Reader: I’d be happy to help! To help keep patients safe and at home during the coronavirus crisis more and more doctors and other health care providers are turning to telehealth (a.k.a. telemedicine) appointments, which are remote e-visits using a digital communication device like a smartphone, tablet or computer.

Take the time to clarify the purpose of the televisit before it begins. Prioritize a written list of three or four issues you want to discuss with your doctor and make a list of the medicines you’re taking, including the dosages.

Also, have relevant medical devices or logs on hand, such as a penlight or smartphone flashlight for viewing a sore throat, a bloodpressure cuff and thermometer (or recent readings), blood-sugar logs if you’re diabetic or a food log if you have gastrointestinal problems.

If you’ve received medical care at different places, such as an urgent care facility or another doctor’s office, have your latest medical records with you during the telemedicine visit.

Wear loose clothing that will allow you to show your medical provider what is concerning you.

• The University of Oregon appointed Donald Duck as the official mascot of the Fighting Ducks sports teams in 1947. It was a deal struck by athletic director Leo Harris and Walt Disney himself.

• In 1987, the cartoon series “Duck Tales” premiered, running for four seasons and 100 episodes. Donald Duck was not part of the cast, but rather his Uncle Scrooge and the three nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie hunting treasure or combating the efforts of villains trying to steal Uncle Scrooge’s fortune.

According to the storyline, Donald had joined the U.S. Navy, leaving Scrooge in charge of the ducklings. The “Duck Tales” series generated a full feature-length movie in 1990 entitled “Duck Tales: Treasure of the Lost Lamp.” 
