Telehealth has become part of our new normal as we practice physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several of the barriers that prevented us from being able to see our doctors for an appointment via a telephone call or a video call have now been managed. However, it's still a new way to receive healthcare, and both patients and clinicians are adjusting. Learn from Neilanjan Nandi, MD, gastroenterologist and Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and the University of Pennsylvania about what patients can do to be ready for their telehealth appointments and what it's like from the doctor's side of the video conference call.
Concepts discussed on this episode:
- What Is Dyspnea?
- An Overview of Anal or Rectal Abscess
- Anemia and Its Relationship With IBD
- How to Use Telehealth Services During the COVID-19 Outbreak and Beyond
