More businesses should come together for doctors
Doctors and medical professionals in general need more help. They need a better life and more convenience tools. All electronics and gadgetry for medical purposes is designed around easing the work in a hospital setting, but what about those who go the distance alone?
Brands should focus on making the life of solo doctors better. For example, Appliance Doctor Inc is a store focused on specialized high-end doctor appliances. However, the customer journey through their website is a legit nightmare, to say the least. More people should be doing thing, honestly, so there’s a fair bit of competition and doctors are able to benefit from a variety of choices, more competitive pricing, and a more personalized feel.
Another recent milestone on this front is us – C-Guard, a company that sells antiviral scrubs in various colors, patterns, and fabrics and unlike the previous example, our user experience and price competitiveness are really great.
However, until we have a much greater number of big players and brands in doctor-related products and services, we’re far from realizing a better life for the Indian doctor.
A large number of doctors is still getting their important stuff including garments, accessories, equipment, and devices from all-in-one ecommerce stores such as Amazon. This is a huge issue, and not just in India.
Do not look up the symptoms online a lot
A little bit of information from online sources is good. But a lot of research makes a patient feel like they’re an expert. A doctor’s education seems insufficient to them, at least in terms of their symptoms.
Not only does this slow down the entire process, it’s very frustrating and time-consuming to listen to theories that are half-baked and ill-informed.
The nature of online articles to lead every little symptom directly towards cancer doesn’t help either. Without a professional look there’s nothing much to do, really, and people should understand that.
Don’t panic or claim to have transformed into something of an expert online.
Assistants
An assistant helps a doctor manage all the files and organize their day affectively. This should become a full-time job that people respectfully choose. The more amount of time that a doctor is able to save, the better the treatment and care of their patients.
It’s a truth that amid all the paperwork, to and fro, and the various managerial things to take care of, even a high number of nurses fail to adequately support a lead doctor.
This is a huge problem in modern hospitals and medical institutions.
Having an assistant who can systematically arrange files, place all reports prior to the visit, keep a track of all consultations and meetings, verify treatments before sending patients in, etc. is going to be infinitely helpful for any doctor anywhere in the world.
Otherwise, all the work can be a cause of fatigue.
More job portals should list medical assistance or doctor assistant as job descriptions. A medical assistant is very different from a personal assistant or an assistant to someone in another industry.
