Got flu and you don’t want to leave your home? Scheduling video check-up with your doctor is your ultimate solution. Many Telemedicine companies have made the most of virtual videos to help patients who want to get quick medical help at the comfort of their homes. A virtual video with a doctor is a lovely and pleasant experience bearing in mind that flu can be quite sickening.
Telemedicine is advancing its technology and optimizing virtual video niche to help its clients to lead a comfortable life even when sick. As a patient, you can use virtual medicine from different companies including MDLive, Doctors on Demand and Teladoc to make quick appointments. You will be advised to take specific medicine for your flu and where necessary, make an appointment for a virtual visit especially if you are very sick. Virtual video is also used for making consultations with a doctor.
Agreeing to the whole idea of long-distance virtual medicine, Ateev Mehrotra, a reputed doctor and a public health specialist at Harvard believes that the use of telemedicine is yielding positive results. The doctor says that there is a 50 per cent growth of virtual doctoring and on a busy day, a Teladoc could attend to more than 10,000 patients collectively. Mehrotra also says using virtual video for your flu treatment enhances your healing just with the doctor’s reassurance.
Even though the impact of virtual check-ups is still unknown to many healthcare economists, Mehrotra strongly believes that it works effectively as preventive healthcare. As such, virtual healthcare could help patients and the healthcare system at large to save a lot of money. This is because it is a provision that could be included in your health insurance.
While the virtual video may not benefit patients with critical conditions, virtual visits still help housebound clients with quality palliative care. It eases the load of making endless hospital visits and doctors can give reassurance to those with flu including ordering chicken soup to be delivered to your home.
