The (Many) Advantages Of Why You Should Talk To A Doctor Online
It’s a fact: going into a medical clinic to speak with a doctor in person is not the most enjoyable or convenient experience. Whether it is sitting in traffic, having to rush straight back to work or rescheduling your personal life, these types of issues have become more inconvenient as our lives continue to get faster and busier.
However, online telehealth services such as Prime Medic offer a stress-free, convenient and better way to receive professional healthcare and advice - all without having to leave the comfort of your own home! So, what exactly are the advantages when you talk to a doctor online and how can they benefit you?
No more boundaries
Having to visit your medical clinic can be a very time-consuming process, especially if you work very far away. This typically results in many people having to take the afternoon or a few hours off work to allow for enough time to see their doctor and then return. As you can imagine, this isn’t the most convenient situation.
As telehealth services are online and operate 24/7, you are no longer restricted to your GP’s (General Practitioner) location. Just book your appointment for a time that best suits you, such as your lunch break, and then you can have a private consultation with an online doctor all from your smartphone, laptop, tablet device or computer!
No more inconvenient business hours
As mentioned before, online telehealth service providers operate 24/7. To be able to talk to a doctor online morning, day or night is a huge benefit for people with hectic or sporadic working schedules. Instead of waking up feeling ill and having to wait until a medical clinic opens, you can instead book an appointment for when it is convenient for you - not the medical clinic.
Access to a wealth of expert health advice
When you download and use the Prime Medic app, you gain access to a vast network of professional and qualified online doctors throughout Australia. Rather than doing a quick search on Google, which can lead to an inaccurate diagnosis or leading you down the wrong path, you can instead consult with one of our online doctors.
They will provide you with expert health advice and assistance, giving you peace of mind and sparing you from the stress and anxiety of self-diagnosing.
Additional services
Apart from online health checkups and medical advice, telehealth services such as Prime Medic also provide a range of additional services including specialist referrals, sick leave and carer’s certificates, new and repeat prescriptions and more. Instead of taking half the day off work just to get a prescription, you can simply book an appointment with one of our online doctors during your lunch break!
When it comes to the benefits of choosing to talk to a doctor online as opposed to in-person, telehealth services such as Prime Medic are a clear winner! Skip the hassle of sitting around in a crowded medical clinic waiting room and download our app today!
