I just got an email from a guy who had read one of my articles,
and sent his opinion to me. I love it when that happens!
Anyway, he felt that we don't need fewer online pharmacies, but
should have a better physician/patient interaction. However, he also
mentioned that so far, his online doctors have spent much more time
reviewing his medical history than his "real-world" doctors ever did.
For example, his "real" doctors were usually 30 minutes to 1 hour
late for the appointment, and only spent say, 10 minutes with him.
The online doctors called him within about 10 minutes of the appointment,
and spent 20 minutes to 1+ hours with him, making sure the
medication was safe for a person in that specific situation.
This brings up an important question. How did your online doctor
experience compare to the usual doctor's appointment?
1) How much time did your online doctor spend with you?
2) Did the doctor call you?
3) If the doctor called, was it at the appointed time?
4) Did you feel safer than you would at the doctor's office?
5) Was the online doctor's questioning more thorough than your regular doctor's?
