Since the pandemic, it’s become really easy to access telehealth appointments. This means that you don’t have to go into the doctor’s office to ask your questions and get your needs met every time. I, personally, love this adjustment. But I know that others don’t necessarily feel the same way.
How do you feel about telehealth appointments?

I have mixed feelings about Telehealth. While they are convenient, meaning I don’t need to drive to my appointments in bad weather and fight the awful traffic on the way home for one, and secondly being at home they allow me to keep an eye on my elderly father who has some age-related medical issues of his own, I feel there’s a gap in the medical care.
Being in the office with the doctor, the conversations are more interactive and flowing, and she or he can observe us and check for cogwheeling and other symptoms which are impossible to do so via Telehealth.
Recently, I had two appointments via Telehealth and my doctor said afterwards that she wants the upcoming appointment to be in her office at the clinic rather than via computer or phone, and I am looking forward to this appointment.
