Since the start of the global pandemic, the number of outpatient clinic visits has decreased immensely. While this makes sense, due to the highly contagious virus, it can be a troubling sight.
Preventative care services have truly never been more important. Now, more than ever, patients need to be proactive about their health. How can you ensure you are being proactive with your preventative care during COVID?
The implementation of telemedicine has risen immensely over the last few months, as social distancing requirements were put into place. Telemedicine can be a great way to communicate with your doctor in the safety of your own home. Virtual visits can be used to detect symptoms of COVID-19, fevers, rashes, cold and flu symptoms, aches and pains, minor musculoskeletal injuries, small infections, and UTIs. While telemedicine can be an effective way to treat patients, there are pros and cons to consider.
Imagine you’re in quarantine, beginning to feel early symptoms that align with Coronavirus, yet to keep others safe you feel you need to stay home. The symptoms begin to worsen, but you still don’t want to risk others safety by leaving the house. How can you ensure you will be okay without leaving the house? Telehealth services might be your saving grace. This begs the question, can a doctor really diagnose over Zoom?
