You've GOT to watch this before you continue doing telehealth and remote medicine!
Telemedicine has taken off, and it’s continuing to soar. In the past 2 years, there’s been a 38-fold increase in virtual healthcare, and it offers healthcare practitioners location freedom. But in today’s video, I want to discuss the UGLY and unspoken truth about being a virtual doctor or a health professional doing online healthcare.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought changes that normally would've taken quite a long time to take effect. One of these changes is the way that medicine is being done. Due to the many lockdowns and the need for social distancing to prevent the spread of the virus, telemedicine has been a great alternative to seeing patients in person.
This has been convenient for patients who, instead of having to drag themselves out of bed to make their way to clinics, can now get consultations in the comforts of their home. In addition, a large number of patients have expressed their preference for virtual healthcare due to it being more time-efficient.
It sounds like a win-win situation, right? But there’s a truth behind telemedicine or telehealth that you need to know before you continue with it. One of the unpleasant by-products of practicing online healthcare is the burnout it causes health practitioners like us. Location freedom is one thing. But what about your need for TIME freedom?
I invite you to watch until the end of this video to learn more about this unspoken truth about being a virtual doctor or healthcare professional practicing under a remote medicine set up.
