[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you want to get others sick op? Use telahealth.[/quote]

a) it's telehealth, not telahealth
b) how can you test for strep or flu with a telehealth visit? [/quote]

DP but you can buy home strep kits on Amazon very cheap. You can also buy Covid/Flu combo tests for cheaper than a co-pay. Some telehealth providers will let you test while on camera during the visit and call in a prescription for antibiotics or Tamiflu.[/quote]

And do they sell tests on Amazon for meningitis or instructions to tell you how to self diagnose sepsis? [/quote]

If you have meningitis or sepsis your family medicine doctor isn’t going to be able to help you either. Do you think they do lumbar punctures in the exam room?[/quote]

Ideally the primary care doctor is the one who monitors the course of an illness and can see when it’s serious. if the primary care doctor won’t see patients to tell them when a headache is just a migraine and when it could be meningitis, then what’s the point of the primary care system? [/quote]
