Doctor Consultation Online™ Improves Chronic Illness Patients’ Quality of Life with New Telemedicine Service
New York City, NY (PRWEB) March 04, 2017 -- Faced with the potential repeal of the Affordable Care Act, millions of Americans are nervous about the future of healthcare in the U.S. and whether they will be able to attend to their medical needs. While this is true for those in good general health, the fear is even more real for those living with a chronic illness.
A chronic illness is defined as a disease or syndrome that will last three months or longer and cannot be prevented through the administration of vaccines. Some of the most common chronic diseases in the U.S. include: diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, cystic fibrosis and Crohn’s disease. Chronic illnesses have no cure and symptoms do not disappear on their own.
Many chronic illness patients are able to control their symptoms with a variety of medical treatments. Traditionally, this requires regular visits to in-office physicians, specialists, pain relief clinics, surgical centers, hospitals and other medical sites. However, frequent traveling is difficult for a majority of chronic illness sufferers due to a variety of factors, including: pain, limited mobility, fatigue, strict medication schedules and transportation challenges.
Doctor Consultation Online™ now steps in where traditional medicine is lacking. All chronic illnesses must be initially diagnosed and periodically monitored by an in-person physician.
