Telehealth Consults: Safety First
In light of the ongoing Covid pandemic, it can be hard to be proactive about your health while simultaneously being diligent about your safety. Fortunately, telemedicine provides a convenient and safe way to meet your doctor to discuss your medical issues and concerns. It also provides flexibility to those who have busy schedules and struggle to find time to travel to a medical appointment. If you are experiencing leg pain or discomfort, it could indicate potential vein disease that should not go untreated. Telemedicine makes it easy to ask your vein specialist about what steps you should take to prevent further vein issues, while remaining in the comfort and safety of your own home. Additionally, virtual consultations can be used as a follow up after a procedure in the clinic, which prevents unnecessary contact and exposure after treatments.
Steps you should take to have a successful virtual appointment/consultation:
-
You should always make sure you are in an area with good reception or wireless connection so as to avoid any disruptions or technological difficulties during the appointment.
-
Having a prepared set of questions for your vein specialist can increase your chances of having a successful appointment. The doctor will more easily provide an accurate diagnosis and answer questions efficiently.
