This very simply is "mass-production" "health care". Too much time in a waiting room with people that might be sicker than you\me. Frivolous questions on electronic pads only to be seen by a nurse or the assistant to a nurse. Insurance is billed for a physical (which never happened, but they get a yearly amount, and they take full advantage of that full amount) when my only concern [actual reason for the appearance] was a yearly refill of the medication for hypothyroidism. Even then they wanted to debate not allowing me a full years' worth {I've had a slow thyroid for over twenty years now and I am pretty much at the max dosage, simply ludicrous} until I said I'll be going back to online with telehealth because this is BS.
Having said that I went back to online "visitations" because frankly the risk [driving there, other communicable illnesses] verses the "reward" {getting a medicine refilled and the obvious lectures from health providers that frankly appear less healthy that myself} for attending such a provider doesn't make logical sense to me. With telehealth I sit in my home and virtually see a person capable of writing prescriptions I need, including any testing procedures. All the while I don't risk the drive nor that time spent among those more ill than I. read more
