There is no point transporting yourself from your location when you could save the time, money or fuel and still get medical consultation, advise, prescription and second opinion at a cost lower that what your hospital would normally charge you for consultation. And if you are not going to be needing physical examination, you can as well enjoy consultation from wherever you are. Also, there are some conditions you are just too shy to talk to your doctor about face to face; you can easily talk to a doctor on RemoteMed anonymously, and you would very well get your consultation without your identify being revealed. And lastly, you can consider RemoteMed as your first-line medical go-to place, as long as physical examination or care is not needed.
