Your doctor can make a diagnosis, assign a prescription, give medical advice, and schedule physical appointments for you. This is done all over the phone, and the doctor still carries all their authority, so there’s no downside to choosing a telemedicine health visit over a physical and in person health visit. Instead, it is all about your personal convenience.
Telemedicine Phoenix is being able to visit your doctor over the phone or a computer without ever having to set foot in a doctor’s office. Instead, it is more like a Zoom call where you and your doctor sit down and communicate about your symptoms and what might be the problem. With telemedicine, your doctor has many capabilities that they would have if you were in person. You speak with your physician over the computer or the phone, hence the name ‘telemedicine.’
One of the biggest reasons that people would want to get a telemedicine appointment is the time savings associated with it. A trip to the doctor’s office usually involves a drive to their office, which can be complicated by things like the weather or the traffic situation. Plus, you also need to take time out of the workday, schedule a sitter for your kids, sit in the waiting room for a while, and when finally get to see your doctor.
If your average trip to the doctor takes a few hours, and that’s not even including the trip back, then you are part of the normal population. However, a telemedicine phoenix visit only takes a few minutes, and you can skip all the unnecessary travel and logistics. Instead, the doctor emails you a video link and a time, just like a traditional video call.
You get on your computer at the assigned time and then click on the link. Instantly you are transported to the room and get to see your doctor. Once the meeting is over, you make notes of any follow-up activities you need to do and then sign out. That’s it, your day is free, and your time has just been saved. Who doesn’t love all that saved time!
Telemedicine also allows you to really get to the root of what is bothering you with your doctor.
Rather than having to take several tests and talk to a nurse before you even see the doctor, as you would in a traditional office setting, the doctor is the first person you see.
Then, you can communicate with the doctor about what is ailing you, and they can listen before prescribing some type of treatment for you.
Going to see the doctor is like getting a tooth pulled, heading to the gym, or going to the DMV.
All of these are unpleasant activities that start to raise your heart rate.
While we all know that getting annual checkups is very important for your health, we also don’t want to go see the doctor for every little bump or sniffle.
Still, whenever a doctor’s visit is warranted and you’ve reached the limit of what over-the-counter medication can provide, it’s much easier to schedule a call virtually rather than hauling yourself to the doctor’s office whenever you don’t feel good.
Having telemedicine at your disposal might even make you more prone to scheduling a doctor’s visit than if you didn’t.
Finally, hospitals and waiting rooms have a large number of germs and viruses that exist within their four walls. There’s always a risk of exposure, especially if you take your sick child to a pediatric hospital’s waiting room! If you want to protect yourself from pandemics, seasonal viruses, or any easily caught bugs, seeing your doctor virtually is one of the best ways to do so.
While you should never be afraid to go into a hospital, and telemedicine phoenix is not a substitute for real care, scheduling at least the check-up with your doctor virtually can keep you safe from viruses that might be inside the hospital. Whenever you do have to go to the hospital, proper hygiene techniques and common sense can help you reduce the risk even further.
