A virtual doctor’s visit saved vacation
No one likes to be sick on vacation.
While on a trip to Texas, Jeffrey Kellow, principal regulatory engineer at GE Appliances, found himself the generous recipient of pink eye. Passed to him from his precious kiddos, you could say he saw it coming.
Far from home (and his general practitioner), Jeffrey remembered a work email – The Doctor’s Advice for Living Your Best Life. Derek Mydlarz, MD and Global Medical Director had mentioned a virtual physician service called LiveHealth Online.
Jeffrey set up LiveHealth Online before he needed it; and it paid off
“When I initially received the email, I decided to go ahead and set up the app,” says Jeffrey. “It was quick, and it sure came in handy when I needed it.”
Within an hour, Jeffrey had a prescription for treatment. By that afternoon, he had relief.
“It worked incredibly well,” says Jeffrey. “The provider was helpful. It was seamless and convenient.”
So convenient, in fact, that when his wife turned up with symptoms, she scheduled a virtual visit as well.
Less contact with germs; more vacation time with family
“It kind of saved our vacation,” says Jeffrey. “We got quick relief without the headache of finding a local clinic.”
With small kids in tow, Jeffrey was relieved to limit exposure by staying out of the doctor’s office.
“In a season where lots of bugs are popping up, it was kind of nice to not risk other illnesses inside a clinic,” says Jeffrey. “Sometimes you just have to be seen in the office, for testing and such, but this is a great option for uncomplicated illnesses.”
