What is Telemedicine?
From: GoodRx.com
Telemedicine allows you to discuss symptoms, medical issues, and more with a healthcare provider in realtime. Using telemedicine, you can receive a diagnosis, learn your treatment options, and get a prescription. In cases where it’s necessary, healthcare providers can even monitor readings from medical devices remotely to keep an eye on your condition.
*Telemedicine isn’t appropriate for emergency situations like heart attack or stroke, cuts or lacerations, or broken bones that require x-rays, splints, or casts. Anything that requires immediate, hands-on care should be handled in person. However, telemedicine is very useful for managing many health issues and chronic conditions.
