Thanks to the development of technology, people have become more dependent on

online doctors for their medical treatment. What are the advantages and
disadvantages of this tendency?

Nowadays, technology is increasingly developing, instead of going to

specialized clinics for examination and treatment, people increasingly trust online
doctors. In my opinion, this has some benefits but also some disadvantages for
patients and this article will explain the pros and cons of this..
In recent years, online doctors have made healthcare more accessible. People
can easily find many online doctor websites on social networking platforms
without having to go to clinics like before. This is especially beneficial for people
in remote areas or people who have difficulty traveling or who have busy
schedules and don't have much time. Patients can comfortably consult a doctor at
home without having to worry about travel or lack of time.
On the other hand, online doctors face many difficulties in conducting
medical examinations. Direct examination aims to detect symptoms inside the
body, which is important for doctors to accurately diagnose certain conditions in
patients. We can't do that when we see a doctor online. Not being examined
directly can lead to many misdiagnoses or missing important symptoms and can
lead to many worrying consequences.
In short, although online medical examination has many benefits, besides
those benefits, there are also many potential risks. Instead of sitting at home
waiting for risks to happen to us, we should go to medical facilities or specialized
clinics for treatment. Because face-to-face medical examinations can sometimes
have errors, online medical examinations cannot avoid this.
