In this era of technology, we are all well aware of the term online consultation. Upon hearing this we might think it is a hectic procedure or it might not be as good as consulting a doctor in person. But it’s much easier and more effective than taking a token and waiting in queue for our turn to come to consult a doctor in person.
Online consultation means Consulting a doctor by communicating through phone calls, chats, and video calls using apps like whatsapp, skype, IMO, etc. and letting them collect all your details regarding the disease irrespective of the place or situation you are in, and prescribing medicines accordingly. This might create a misunderstanding in you or even create doubt regarding the efficiency of online consultation. But this is an entirely wrong notion.
ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE CONSULTATION
● Doctors become more attentive
A doctor would get comparatively more time to give attention to a case or say, will be free from distractions of upcoming emergency cases or events that would be possibly held at a hospital.
● Accurate case recording
Online consultation would help in recording every minute detail of the case that would possibly have a chance of being missed out during an offline consultation.
● Great relief for people with white coat syndrome
Some people fear the visits to the hospital, precisely say people who suffer from white coat syndrome, that is, people who develop new symptoms on the approach to the hospital due to the smell or due to the anxiety of seeing a doctor or other patients in the hospital. This might cause their blood pressure to shoot up.
● Saves time
Going to a hospital is always a time-consuming process. Waiting to get a token, following the queue to consult a doctor, waiting in a queue to get the prescribed medicines from the pharmacy, and so on. But by online consultation, one could save a lot of time in all the above-mentioned areas. Also, the medicines will be delivered at home thus making it easier for the patient to get relief.
● Availability of medicines
At times there are situations like unavailability of the prescribed medicines in the pharmacy and the patient has to either wait or search for the medicines in other pharmacies. But, when consulting online the hospital sees to it that all medicines are delivered to the patient at once.
