I’m always more comfortable going to see a doctor in person. For an appointment. I feel like when you talk online, the doctor might not just miss something, they might not even notice it. Plus, you almost always need a hands-on exam, and there’s just no way to do that online. So that brings up the question: what’s the point of online medicine anyway?
Well, maybe the first appointment really is better in person, but very often there’s no point going to the clinic for any follow-up visits. For example, why would I drive there if all I want to talk about is the dosage of a medication?
Yeah, it all depends on why you’re seeing the doctor. A lot of people find it inconvenient to go in. Some people can’t do it at all. Sometimes you need a doctor’s help right away. I don’t mean an ambulance, just a consultation. It’s not that hard to find a good online clinic and a good doctor if you rely on resources like RatedbyPatients https://ratedbypatients.com . I personally love these aggregator sites, where you get the reviews and all the info about the clinic and the specialist in one place. It’s way easier and faster to get your bearings.
