Do we always need to see a doctor face to face?

Such an easy process I have just spoken to my Dr about a recurring problem with cellulitis and he is ordering a prescription to be delivered this pm,we have had this service for quite a while now you just have to be aware that the same Dr will always be available but they obviously have the access to your records.

I am glad that was so successful, Artdecogran.

Glad to hear that has brightened your week Artdecogran My 9 year old granddaughter suffers from recurrent tonsillitis and in her most recent bout had a video consultation with the GP. How sensible.

At 8am phoned doctors for telephone appointment. 90 minutes later got call from doctor. Prescription sent to pharmacy who will deliver this morning. Fantastic service and I haven’t left my armchair! I hope they keep this service going when everything’s back to ‘normal’. I realise that there are people who need to be examined but when, like me, you have had the same thing for years it’s great that there is this speedy way. By the way he had the sexiest Canadian accent, made my day anyway.
