More people are wanting to be seen in person in clinic. How is a phone call or video visit not the best thing ever. Who actually wants to drive, wear

a mask, get screened and then hope you don't catch anything vs just sit at home and chat.

there are many stories about covids having a tele visit, mild fever, some cough yeah feel really awful, well if it gets worse come in..... - zeitgeist May 19, 22:33
two months ago mom needed help with her swollen leg, *painful* knee, doc said there's nothing they can do even if she went to the ER -- nm - zeitgeist May 19, 22:31
I need two appointments that *require* an in-office visit and there's no idea when I'll be able to get them. Neither is really urgent, but required. -- nm - Meg May 19, 21:32 9
- What's worse if the stuff people are coming for can EASILY be handled by phone. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 19, 21:50 7
  - We're the opposite. Kim probably should have gotten a COVID-19 test last week, but she didn't want to go to the doctor to do it. - David May 19, 22:39 1
    - you couldn't go to a regular doctor here for any covid-related testing. it's only available at specific testing sites. -- nm - mafic May 19, 23:15
  - Hee, suddenly I'm visualizing using two cellphones to send them my mammogram 😁 -- nm - Meg May 19, 21:58 4
    - Haha... maybe not that -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 19, 22:12 3
      - hmmmm, you know they have that EKG app, hey bery how hard would it be to come up with a mammo app? - zeitgeist May 19, 22:36 2
        
        Heh, yep, a DIY tit-squeezer. Shouldn't be that difficult to design :) -- nm - Meg May 19, 22:46 1

- So far, they say I will be able to get my blood tests due next week. -- nm - Meg May 19, 21:34
You're totally right. It's maddening. Teleconferenced medical appointments are a dream. -- nm - David May 19, 21:32
Depends on the ailment. A few months ago I had a telemedical appointment, but it was the worst of both worlds. - Beryllium May 19, 21:26 1
- That's silly. You can use your smartphone with us -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 19, 21:36
