Lots of cheap takes in here. I think it’s a solid bet. Healthcare makes no sense.
Example: I fractured my elbow 2 weeks ago snowboarding (sticky down-flat-down). In order to see an orthopedic, I need to see a primary care physician for a referral. But I don’t have a doctor in the area and haven’t had a checkup in a long time. So in order to get an xray of my elbow I need to get a new primary care physician to write me a referral for an orthopedic specialist. It would take like 6 hours of my time to go through this process.
So what am I doing? I’m hoping and praying that it doesn’t require surgery and letting it heal on its own. I still can’t fully extend or retract my arm.
You might think this is dumb on my part, but I don’t want to miss work. Millions of people think the way I think. Telemedicine changes everything.
