Doctor on demand

Do you use doctor on demand service? If so, do you like the service you receive, if not why not? I may consider using the service.

Is that like an urgent care arrangement or maybe better explained as a 'non hospital emergency room'? We have a few facilities like that here where you can get in to see someone without calling ahead for an appointment.  The service isn't bad, but you basically get whoever is working the facility that day.  Personally, I prefer to go to our family doctor just for the familiarity, but it's a good Plan B in an emergency situation or after hours when waiting for an appointment is impossible.

Isn't this an online service that Dr. Phil played a part in putting this company together?  I have never used it but it may be very convenient in some cases.  However, how expensive is?  Does your insurance cover it? Can they write prescriptions for you?  Can they refer you to other online doctors or physical ones in your area?  I guess I would want the answers to these questions.

If she is talking about these clinics that are popping up every where they are safe. They have real doctors working there.  I have went to one a couple times.  Once when it was an emergency (and they said I should have went to the ER immediately - lol) and once for a non emergency issue.  I would only use it if I absolutely had too.

I wondered if this is what the OP was taking about too.  Like the seeing a doctor via your computer camera.  I do not see how this can in any way be legit.  They cannot tell by looking at you thru a webcam what is wrong.  I think you can get scripts thru things like this. Or according to the ad on TV you can.  I thought that was odd when I saw it.

No, I have heard of them but never given much thought to finding out exactly how they work; if I have an emergency I just go to an urgent care center if I can't get into see my regular doctor.

I usually try not to reach any doctors as not to use these chemical drugs like https://worldpharmazone.org as well. it's just doesn't seem right, that you have to take some drugs to get better. And they are harmful for your health. So how they are suppose to help? I just don't get it.
