#6: Telehealth: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Author: Doctor Podcast Network February 11, 2021 Duration: 52:06

Like it or not, telehealth has fully arrived!  As Covid grappled the world, 2020  saw a dramatic rise in the implementation of telehealth services. 

How has telehealth impacted you? Do you love it or hate it? We discuss the pros and cons for both physicians and patients, and share some laughs about some of our personal struggles with it.

Patients: did you know there are some key vital signs and pre-visit things you can do to make your visit better?  For instance, as much as we like your newly minted eyebrows, we prefer to see your whole face! 

We share a list of dos and don’ts that make your visit more successful.

Physicians: patients mostly love the ease of access but also have some expectations from their doctor. We share some thoughts and also a few pointers and ways to get a good physical exam online. Hurray for home vitals!

Tired of the same old medical talk that feels disconnected from real life? BS Free MD with Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh offers something different. This is a conversation between two practicing physicians who are also partners, blending their professional expertise with personal experience. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at their kitchen table, where discussions about healthcare, medical history, and philosophy are grounded in the realities of life, family, and the daily grind of being a doctor. You'll hear honest reflections on the system, stories from the front lines that you won't find in textbooks, and a genuine look at how medicine intersects with everything else. The Doctor Podcast Network brings you this unique perspective, where the dialogue is as engaging as it is insightful. It’s a space for anyone curious about the human side of medicine-patients and professionals alike. This podcast doesn’t shy away from complex topics, but it approaches them with a warmth and authenticity that makes even the heaviest subjects feel accessible. Expect candid stories, occasional tangents into culture and society, and the shared wisdom of two people who see the world through both a stethoscope and a shared life. Tune in for a genuinely fresh take.
