Illness

In-Home Treatments

When illness strikes, in-home medical services can be an enormous blessing. The ability to summon 24/7 at-home care—whether an in-person physician visit or a telephone call—means everything when you or someone you love gets sick. No one can predict when illness will hit, but chances are the timing will be inconvenient (as if there is ever a convenient time to be ill).

If you are a parent, doesn’t your child tend to get sick in the dead of night or at 5:00 on a Friday afternoon when the pediatrician is done for the week, leaving you faced with a decision of whether or not to go to the emergency room?

What if you are the primary caregiver for your elderly mother and she calls on a snowy Tuesday with stomach pains? There’s a lot to weigh. How serious is the pain? Could it just be something she ate? Is having it assessed by her primary care physician worth risking a fall on an icy sidewalk? And what illness might she pick up while sitting in the waiting room?

And what if you are alone and fall ill? Are you well enough to safely get yourself to your doctor or the E.R.?

Medical Care Should Comfort Not Confound

When you or a loved one is sick and needs comfort the most, why should getting medical treatment involve so much stress? Getting a doctor to fit you into an already busy schedule in a timely manner can be difficult and often requires a long sit in a germ-riddled waiting room. If a patient is elderly and has little mobility, the stress level rises even higher.

For many types of illnesses, Doctor2me can alleviate some of the stress by allowing the patient to remain comfortably at home while receiving diagnosis and follow-up treatment. Our qualified doctors can assess patients for:

• COVID

• Bronchitis

• Cold & flu

• Coughing

• Chronic Acid Reflux

• Dehydration

• Diarrhea

• Ear pain / infection

• Fever

• Food poisoning

• Sinus infections

• Sore throat

• Upset stomach

• Urinary tract infections (UTI)

• Pink eye (Conjunctivitis)

• Tonsillitis

• Kidney stone

Once a diagnosis is made, physicians can plan treatment, order necessary tests (a surprising number of which can be performed at home), and prescribe medication to be delivered to your door.
