How to Avoid the Doctor during COVID ...

So, we’re all stuck at home right now because of the coronavirus. This means that you’re limited to doing the grocery shopping – and, well, that’s it. Health care professionals are working hard on the frontline so that we can all stay safe, which means that some doctors will be keeping their doors open during the stay at home order.

However, this doesn’t mean that they want to see everyone right now – ideally, you should only visit the doctor if you really need it. So, what can you do for yourself at home right now to avoid having to see the doctor in person? Let’s talk about it.

You’ve got a subscription that you’re used to getting regularly filled. It’s the kind of medication that you can’t skip even a day on, and even coronavirus can’t get in the way of this. However, you don’t want to make the trip to the doctors because of everything that’s going on.

Luckily, there is the option of filling your medical subscription online. There are plenty of online medical delivery organizations that can help fill your prescription so that you don't even have to leave the comfort of your own home. You can get your medication delivered right to your door.

How long has it been since you had a check-up with the doctor about what’s going on down there? Sexual health is just as important right now as anything else, and if you’re not keeping up with it, you could find yourself in a bit of trouble.

Luckily, you don’t have to venture out to the doctor to check in on what’s going on. You could try an at-home STD test kit. These can easily be ordered online, sent right to your front door, and can send them away to test the same day. They're discreet and can help you cross another thing off your to-do list in this time of uncertainty.

While it’s a nice idea to think that you won’t need a visit to the doctor during this time, in reality sometimes these things can’t be helped. Even if it’s for something that you might consider small, having peace of mind can be extremely helpful – especially if you live alone.

Depending on who your doctor is, you might be able to get help with your issue virtually. Right now, a lot of doctor's offices are going virtual consultations. Check to see if your doctor can arrange this for you.

This might sound like nothing more than common sense, but right now, with the world, we're all living in, it's a pretty poignant reminder that we all need to be consistent with washing our hands.

Even if you’re just at home and don’t plan on going anywhere, it’s helpful to get into the habit of having clean hands.

If you’re trying to avoid the doctor right now, we don’t blame you. Here you’ll find some helpful hints on how to keep the doctor at a distance while you continue to stay at home.
