Don’t let a cold ruin your workweek – get professional medical care at your desk!

We’ve all been there. Made it through Monday, it’s almost time for the workday to end on Tuesday, and that vague tickle in your throat has turned into a raw scratch. By the time you are clocking out and waiting for the elevator, your nose is starting to stuff up, and the drive home has you alternating hands between Kleenex and the steering wheel.

You can take half a bottle of Nyquil and hope you feel well enough in the morning to crawl out of bed or maybe you make it into the office, and you sit there trying to decide if you can afford to miss the rest of the day to visit the doctor’s office… the walk in wait time is always ridiculous.

There’s no guarantee you’d be seen by a doctor, and if you don’t get back to this side of town by 6 pm, you’ll be late to pick up your kid from his soccer practice. However, if you don’t get this pain in your ears and throat treated soon, you know it’s going to turn into bronchitis (it always does.)

These kinds of decisions are all too familiar for many of us who balance family and work responsibilities against self-care, often working and toughing it out until we literally collapse. Wouldn’t it be better if we could get quick, effective diagnosis and treatment without having to trade off valuable work time and family obligations?

Telemedicine is changing the way the average American experiences care. Instead of needing to visit a doctor’s office, waiting to be seen (taking time away from work and family in the process), a single phone call to a qualified medical professional can resolve 92% of common conditions.

Things like sinus problems and respiratory issues can be diagnosed, treatment advice given, and even prescribed for over the phone. Make a call from your desk before leaving work, and pick up your (no-controlled) medication on the way home. You could be feeling better in much less time, able to continue taking care of responsibilities thanks to early diagnosis and treatment.

Telemedicine covers the whole family, so one monthly subscription price means you can call as often as needed, for any member of the household, and get the same professional care and answers.
